When most people clean their homes, they are often in a hurry or perfunctory when faced with messy spaces and messy areas, which makes the seemingly neat space full of unclean loopholes. In fact, as long as you use the right methods and tools and then clean them regularly, you can reduce a lot of troubles, improve cleaning efficiency and make your home space clean and comfortable. According to my years of cleaning experience, I summed up some tips for household cleaning, hoping to help friends who have the same troubles in life.
First of all, summarize the three principles of cleanliness:
1. It takes a long time to clean the places that are difficult to clean, so as to reduce the difficulty of cleaning.
For example, a greasy kitchen and a toilet that is easy to hide dirt and shelter evil people, these two places are the places to be cleaned at ordinary times. If you put it off until the end of the year and do a general cleaning once a year, you will definitely doubt your life.
2. Cleaning sequence: from top to bottom, from inside to outside
Wipe the top clean first, so as not to cause the dust to fall and wipe the bottom white. The cleaning sequence is generally: ceiling → wall → door and window glass → electrical appliances and household items → floor.
Make full use of tools
Use tools to get twice the result with half the effort
Speaking of cleaning tools, I have a bunch of precious products. Making good use of them is the greatest cleaning skill!
Baking soda? 1 yuan 1 package
Citric acid? 1 Yuan 2 Bao
84 disinfectant? 5 yuan 1 bottle
1, alkaline degreasing-universal baking soda
In life, the most widely used case of alkaline degreasing is baking soda degreasing.
Principle:
When baking soda is dissolved in water, it will produce sodium hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide will saponify with oil to produce glycerol and sodium stearate. Glycerol (the main component of cream) is hydrophilic, and sodium stearate (the main component of soap) can also be dissolved in water, thus achieving the degreasing effect.
Among them, sodium hydroxide will be produced when baking soda is dissolved in water, which is corrosive and irritating, but the concentration is very low, so you can use it safely and try to wear gloves.
In addition, water and baking soda are exothermic reactions. After the temperature rises, it will promote the positive reaction and enhance the alkalinity, thus enhancing the oil removal effect, which is why hot water and baking soda are more effective for oil removal.
Application:
Baking soda can remove oil stains and can be widely used in daily life. It can not only clean the kitchen, but also clean tea stains, bathtubs, washbasins and toilets. Sometimes it is also used to clean human oil stains.
Furthermore, baking soda also has the characteristics of deodorization and disinfection, and can also be applied.
The following usage is a correct demonstration:
(1) bubble washing method
The most basic usage of baking soda to remove oil.
(2) Boiling and washing method
Heating baking soda can make baking soda react with water faster, and the effect is slightly better than that of soaking and washing. In addition, with the increase of oil temperature, there will be more hydrophilic groups and the solubility of oil stains in water will be greater.
(3) Paste method
When smeared on oil stains, it will produce more sodium hydroxide correspondingly, and the oil stain removal effect will be better.
Covering with plastic wrap and standing can make the reaction more complete.
(4) Sewer cleaning
Dissolve dirty oil and eliminate the odor of sewage.
2. Acid descaling-take citric acid as an example.
Scale widely exists in water-using areas such as toilets and kitchens. Let's talk about citric acid descaling with citric acid as the representative.
Principle:
Scale is mostly weakly alkaline carbonate, which can react with citric acid to form citrate. It is a powdery salt that will not stick, and there is no irritating smell during the reaction.
Citric acid can achieve the effect of descaling, and so can hot water. In addition, citric acid also has antibacterial and disinfection effects.
Application: Citric acid is widely used in descaling.
(1) kettle scale cleaning
The most obvious thing is that the scale in the kettle is clean
(2) Secondly, the toilet is clean, including shower, faucet, basin, mirror, etc.
Here, you can put the citric acid solution in the watering can and spray it on the articles for cleaning more conveniently. If there is heavy dirt, it can also be wrapped with plastic wrap to speed up the reaction.
(3) The shower nozzle is clean
Showers and faucets will be blocked by scale when used for a long time, and the scale will be dissolved when soaked in citric acid.
As mentioned above, citric acid and baking soda are used to clean shower heads or faucets. The correct operation is as follows:
Let the faucet of the shower head soak in citric acid to dissolve the scale until it is almost the same, and then add baking soda, which will produce a lot of bubbles and bring out the dirty things in the shower head.
Remember to soak in citric acid for a while, then use baking soda, otherwise it won't work.
Finally, applied chemistry is still a bit complicated. Some scales contain calcium sulfide, which is a weakly acidic salt. At this time, citric acid will not work, and baking soda will have a better effect.
In addition, baking soda also has a certain softening effect on scale, so many people can also successfully remove scale by mistake with baking soda. But the main method is citric acid, which is beyond doubt.
As for some small tricks, using lemon, vinegar or even cola to remove dirt is actually similar to the principle of citric acid, but the problem is that these methods are either too expensive or too troublesome and ineffective. Therefore, rationally speaking, citric acid is still the C position in descaling.
3. Bleaching -84 disinfectant
Bleach is often used to clean clothes, so let's talk about the working process of bleach.
Principle:
The main component of 84 is sodium hypochlorite, which will react with stains on clothes, destroy the yoke system of pigment and achieve the purpose of bleaching.
The oxidation process is also a disinfection process, so 84 has strong anti-virus function, strong smell and strong corrosiveness.
Application:
(1) Clothing bleaching
The most obvious application is clothes bleaching, which needs dilution. If you use it directly too hard, you will wash your clothes.
(2) disinfection
The main use of 84 also needs dilution.
(3) removing mold
In fact, sodium hypochlorite is the main ingredient to make the black mold edge disappear in the mildew spray and gel on the market at present.
Mildew spray, generally diluted to 84, with some citric acid, is generally used for bathroom cleaning and mildew prevention, and it is more convenient to remove the mold on the wall.
These are some housework cleaning skills I recommend, I hope they will help you. In addition to keeping a home clean for a long time, I think it is also important to cultivate the habit of keeping good hygiene among family members.
To keep the house clean and tidy, we should not only use practical cleaning tools and do regular cleaning, but also let every family member participate in family cleaning activities. Only one person cleans, and other family members don't feel the hard work. If they don't consciously respect and protect the clean labor results, they will intentionally or unintentionally destroy the clean and tidy balance. Family members can participate in it, and the efficiency of family cleaning will be improved. Knowing the hard work of housework, they will consciously protect the fruits of their labor. After a long time, the home can be kept clean and tidy for a long time.
