Cleaning kitchen utensils

Pans and other kitchen utensils get dirty and oxidize over time and constant use.

In order not to throw them away, prepare a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Use it to rub dirty pots or utensils with a sponge. The results are surprising!

Cleaning difficult surfaces and the washing machine

Although its function is to wash clothes, over time the washing machine accumulates dirt that prevents it from working properly.

To prevent these problems, regularly add a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to the wash cycle.

Cleaning difficult surfaces and removing grease stains

Grease often adheres to various surfaces and requires an effective cleaning solution.

To remove this type of stains from textiles, prepare a mixture of baking soda and lemon and rub well with a brush.

If the stains are located on the upholstery, use a paper towel to absorb the grease. Then sprinkle some talcum powder or cornstarch. Leave on for half an hour, then absorb the residue with a vacuum cleaner.

Windows and door frame

Dust and dirt accumulate in these areas, which, if not removed, stain surfaces and cause allergies.

To clean them properly, mix some baking soda with vinegar and remove the dirt with a brush or cloth. 

Stains on wooden surfaces

For stains on wooden surfaces, such as doors, furniture or flooring, toothpaste is the most effective. 

All you have to do is spread a little toothpaste on that surface. After 30 minutes, rub and clean with a damp brush or sponge.

Microwave cleaning

It is important to clean this appliance regularly, as it tends to accumulate fat and food debris that can affect your health.

Fill a bowl with two cups of water and a tablespoon of vinegar. Heat it in the microwave at maximum power for 3-4 minutes, so that the water evaporates. Wait 10 minutes, then open the door for steam to enter every corner of the oven.

Carefully remove the bowl, then clean the oven walls with a sponge and a little baking soda.

Finally, wipe the walls with a damp, clean cloth.

Disinfection of the kitchen worktop

This surface must be cleaned and disinfected several times a day, because here can accumulate a lot of bacteria, food residues and fat, which are harmful to health and which attract unwanted insects.

To ease this task and kill microorganisms, prepare a mixture of vinegar, water and lemon juice and apply it with a damp cloth. Make sure you do not omit any part of this surface.

If the dirt has stuck or is very difficult to remove, prepare a paste of baking soda and lemon juice. Then rub the surface well until it becomes immaculate.
