Cleaning our house is a task that many people do not like and many times we have our schedule so busy that it is left as a task to do on the weekend. Here we will give you some tips on how to clean the house quickly and you can take advantage of your free time and rest.
When everything is clean, your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and every other corner of the home will look like new. Take your rubber gloves, start cleaning and you will see that the effort is worth it.
Perhaps you have already heard of vinegar as a strong cleaner for different areas of the home; without being as toxic as other methods with chemical products, and despite the fact that the smell is not pleasant at first, after a while it passes (since the components with the smell evaporate).
If you want to remove the odor from the toilet, add 3 cups of vinegar in it and let it sit for half an hour, then rinse with plenty of water. The same with the bathtub, if you want to remove the fungi that form on the curtain or screen, apply a cloth with vinegar several times and after a while rinse with water.
Any rust stain you find in the bathroom, perform the same procedure and you will see how it disappears.
A wash that can be done every six months, can be in the dishwasher, put a cup of vinegar in the empty machine and put it on the “wash” function. If you have a grill in the back of your house, you can douse it with vinegar and wrap it in aluminum foil for an hour. Then pass a cloth to remove dirt easily.
In this way we avoid cleaners, which despite the fact that today there are already some “environmentally friendly” ones, probably none are better than vinegar. What should be done is to dilute 2 tablespoons in a liter of water and then use old newspaper to go through the glasses. If the smell is very strong, you can try an alternative with lemon juice diluted in water.
Vinegar is known to be excellent for removing odors from clothing, as well as sweat stains. It is placed well diluted in water and the clothing of interest is added. Let it rest and then rinse again with plain water. Another very common option is to place a small cup of vinegar on the clothes rack, as it is known to remove musty odors, among others, by deodorizing clothes.
On the other hand, you can place half a cup inside the washing machine and do the washing normally. You will see how at the end of the cycle, the garments are much softer.
All types of wooden surfaces can be treated with ¼ cup of olive oil, ½ of vinegar and 2 cups of warm water for maintenance.
If you want to remove old paint from a surface and you can’t, try hot, undiluted vinegar, letting it sit for a few hours, and you’ll see how soon the paint begins to come off on its own.
Stainless steel, as the word says, resists corrosion and oxidation, as long as it is not exposed to certain adverse conditions that can generate cracks in the layer that protects it and therefore create the beginning of oxidation and rust. Today we will show you how to clean stainless steel. You should not confuse dirt stains with rust. Rust occurs when the metal is sometimes cracked and the layer that protects it is pierced, allowing the passage of oxygen on that small surface and therefore the beginning of oxidation.
1- A routine cleaning could be handled with just warm water and a microfiber cloth. After it, if you wish, you can dry with paper towels. This will help keep the minerals in the water from leaving stains.
3- Some glass cleaners (chemical products) help to remove fingerprints, which are so easily left on stainless steel. Another option is when buying steel furniture, find out what type of steel it is, since today there are some materials that do not leave traces. Anyhow excessive chemicals are best avoided.
4- Ultimately, opt for a specific product for cleaning stainless steel, although these are very strong and, except in a special case, it is preferable to avoid them, apart from being very careful with their contraindications.
With time and use, brown stains form in the toilet, which we then have a hard time removing. They are accumulations of minerals that remain in different areas and over time form large stains.
Leaving them for a long time can cause everything to become much more complicated when removing them, so we are going to give you an almost magical recipe so that you can remove stains without problems.
The mixture of vinegar and baking soda is almost magical. What you have to do is make a paste with vinegar and baking soda. Put a cup of baking soda and then add vinegar until you get a paste.
Then this mixture is put on the stains so that they soften and after ten minutes you must rub hard with a brush. If you take the time to do it at least twice a month, you will notice that the spots never come out again.
Both fur and leather are materials that need constant attention, so it is good to be well informed about how each material should be treated, depending on what type of garment or article it is in.
To clean stains on leather, it is recommended to first lather a cloth with a mild soap, but with the minimum amount of water possible, since it spoils the leather. Apply the cloth with good foam generated on the stain and rub, avoiding the emission of water from the cloth. Then remove the soap with the same criteria, as dry as possible, although of course water will be needed to remove the soap.
In the case of skins, the way of washing is the same, you must clean the foam that remains on the skin and let it dry in the air. Then you must apply a special oil to preserve it.
Many times without realizing it, we spill different liquids or foods in the refrigerator that make this area of the kitchen smell really bad. Many times, this bad smell appears from one day to the next without us being able to do anything and then it is time to take everything out of the fridge to clean. We are going to give you a series of tips so that you can do it much more quickly and effectively.
With daily use, it is normal for the mattress to get dirty little by little and since it cannot be put in the washing machine, we always leave it for later until the stains are already huge.
If your mattress is already dirty, we recommend that you clean it as soon as possible so that the stain does not get too much on it. If the stain stays for a long time, then it will be almost impossible to remove it completely. Since something falls on the mattress, use whatever you can to remove as much liquid as possible.
These are one of the most common stains, since nosebleeds, menstruation or any other minor problem, it is very likely that the mattress will be stained. You should clean it as soon as possible with hydrogen peroxide and rub. Usually this is enough.
You should always dilute any type of detergent with which you are going to clean the mattress with a little water, because if you put it directly or put too much, then there is a possibility that the mattress will discolor.
