Cleaning Tips Home and Office

  • Removing Chewing Gum from Carpets and Fabrics:  Place an ice cube on the gum for ten minutes then, break it up by scraping it with a table knife

 

  • Removing Candle Wax From Carpets and Fabrics:  Fold a paper towel or a sheet of toilet paper two or three times and place it over the wax. Gentle iron it with the iron set low (synthetics) and the wax will melt and be absorbed into the paper.  Replace the paper and continue ironing until all the wax has gone.

 

  • Removing Bloodstains: Soak a cloth in hydrogen peroxide solution and rub the stain gently.  For really stubborn bloodstains rub a paste of corn flour into the stain and leave it in the sun.

 

  • Removing Ball Pen Ink: Wet the ink with methylated spirits or aftershave, taking care to wet only the small area where the ink lies.  After a few minutes press a dry paper towel or toilet paper onto area.  Repeat the whole procedure until all the ink has been absorbed.

 

  • Dusting in cracks and corners: Use a dry paintbrush to get into tight corners and cracks.

 

  • Cleaning Bathrooms:  After a steamy bath or shower bathrooms and their fittings are much easier to clean, as the steam has already softened and loosened the dirt.

 

  • Keeping baths clean:  To avoid rings around the bath do not use oily preparations.  Use bath salts or liquid water softeners (sold for their relaxing properties) and rinse the bath after draining out the water.

 

  • Stainless steel surfaces:  Stainless steel sinks, work-top and equipment can be made to sparkly by wiping with a vinegar soaked cloth
