13 Home Cleaning Tips

　　1. Cleaning of screen windows

　　The screens are covered with dust. Most of the time when we clean them, we remove the screens and wash them with water. Let me tell you a good way to clean the screen window without removing the screen window: wet the waste newspaper with a rag, and then stick the wet newspaper to the back of the screen window. After five minutes, remove the newspaper from the screen window. You will find that the damp newspaper is covered with dust and stains on the screen window.

　　2. Skillfully remove oil stains on clothes

　　I accidentally got oil on my clothes, how do I wash them? Don’t worry, I’ll teach you another trick: place oil-stained front and back with oil-absorbing paper (available in supermarkets), and then use an iron to iron the oil-absorbing paper area. All the oil stains will be absorbed by the oil-absorbing paper, and the clothes will be clean. No chemical dry cleaning is required!

　　3. What should I do if there are oil pen marks on my clothes?

　　What should I do if I accidentally leave ballpoint pen marks on my clothes? Let me tell you a simple and easy way: take a cotton swab, dip it in alcohol, and rub it back and forth on the mark several times. The oil pen mark will disappear automatically. Give it a try!

　　When cleaning the room, sprinkle some snow on the floor. This will not only sweep it clean, but also avoid dust.

　　4. Cleaning glass with onions saves more effort

　　When cleaning door and window glass, you can first peel the onion and cut it in half, rub the glass with its cut, and then quickly wipe it with a dry cloth while the onion juice is still wet, so that the wiped glass will be clean and bright.

　　White door curtains, bed sheets, etc. can be soaked and rinsed in rice water, which has obvious descaling, decontamination and whitening effects.

　　Soak a soft cloth in cold strong tea and use it to scrub tables, chairs and other furniture to make the furniture as bright as new.

　　5. Toothpaste has strong descaling effect

　　If there is dirt on the edge of the basin, you can use a small piece of messy hair dipped in toothpaste and wipe it to remove the dirt quickly.

　　6. Toothpaste has strong descaling effect

　　For tea stains on the inner walls of teapots and teacups, you can use fine gauze dipped in toothpaste to wipe them off.

　　For oil stains on various containers, you can first wipe them with waste newspapers, then scrub them with alkaline water, and finally rinse them with clean water.

　　Burn some waste white paper into ashes and use it to wipe bowls, plates, cups and other porcelain. The decontamination effect is excellent.

　　7. Vinegar does not harm aluminum products

　　Dirt on aluminum pots, aluminum basins, aluminum spoons and other aluminum products can be wiped with vinegar, so that the wiped aluminum products will be shiny and clean without damaging the surface.

　　8. Chicken feathers become rags

　　For dirt on the tiles on the kitchen stove, you can use a handful of chicken feathers dipped in warm water to wipe it clean.

　　9. Toothpaste has strong descaling effect (brushes)

　　Black dirt on tile joints. Squeeze an appropriate amount of toothpaste on the brush and scrub the joints of the ceramic tiles vertically; then apply the candle to the joints, first vertically and then horizontally, so that the thickness of the candle is equal to the thickness of the ceramic tiles, and it will be difficult to be stained with oil in the future.

　　10. There are babies in cigarette boxes.

　　Tea stains on the coffee table. Frequent brewing of tea on the coffee table will leave unsightly stains over time. You can sprinkle some water on the table, wipe it with the tin foil paper from the cigarette box, and then scrub it with water to wash away the tea stains.

　　Burn marks on the surface of wooden furniture. If hot cups and dishes are placed directly on the furniture, the paint will often leave a circle of burn marks. You can use a rag dipped in alcohol, toilet water, iodine or strong tea, and gently wipe it on the burn marks; or apply a layer of Vaseline oil on the burn marks, and then wipe it with a rag every two days, and the burn marks can be eliminated.

　　11. Good combination of toothpick and hard cloth

　　Scorch marks on the surface of wooden furniture. Burning objects such as fireworks, soot or unextinguished matches can sometimes leave scorch marks on furniture paint. If only the paint surface is burned, you can wrap a layer of hard cloth on the toothpick, rub it gently on the mark, and then apply a layer of wax to remove the scorch mark.

　　12. Toothpaste has a strong decontamination effect (white furniture)

　　Stains on the surface of white furniture. White furniture in your home is easily stained, and it is difficult to wipe off the stains with just a rag. You might as well squeeze toothpaste onto a clean rag, and the stains on the furniture will be removed with just a gentle wipe. But be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the paint surface.

　　13. Newspaper has a miraculous effect in repairing the floor.

　　Cracks in floors or wooden furniture. You can cut old newspapers into pieces, add an appropriate amount of alum, boil them with water or rice soup into a paste, embed them in the cracks with a knife, and smooth them out. They will be very strong after drying, and then apply paint of the same color to restore the original appearance of the furniture.
