5 cleaning myths that it's high time to debunk
Good housekeeping tips have flooded the network. But you can not believe each of them. Many life hacks look pretty dumb. They can cause great harm to personal items and furniture.
Hairspray can serve as an antistatic
Lacquer and antistatic agent have completely different chemical composition. For this reason, it is completely impossible to use them for other purposes. The hair product does not have the ability to relieve static stress from synthetic fabrics, and an antistatic agent will not be able to reliably strengthen the hair. It holds due to the fact that adhesive is used in the manufacture of varnish. Therefore, it is not suitable for clothing. After processing, a sticky layer forms on the fabric, which, after drying, becomes hard.
Wet wipes can clean furniture
Wet wipes can be used with caution when wiping furniture made of plastic or wood. But if there are alcohol compounds in it, then they can damage the fibers of the tree. Do not use wipes to clean soft products. They are saturated with a special solution that can discolor the upholstery. Large stains or burnt spots will remain on the furniture.
Wood prints are easy to clean with vinegar
Vinegar is constantly used in the household. But experts do not consider it a universal cleaning agent. It can be used to wash the surface of walls, soften clothes when washing and cleaning sewer pipes. It is forbidden to use vinegar for wiping wood products, because they will quickly fade and become covered with numerous stains.
Olive oil and lemon juice polish wood
It is worth purchasing only high-quality polish. Olive oil and lemon juice can greatly harm wooden products. The first component can leave sticky spots on which stains subsequently form, and a lot of fine dust will settle. Lemon juice strongly corrodes the surface of the tree.
Wooden furniture cleaned with tea
Experts say that water and wood do not mix well, and tea is also a liquid. For this reason, it is not worth using it to wipe furniture. This applies not only to the used bags, but also to the custard drink. A small amount of moisture can get on the surface of the product, which will lead to infection by the fungus. Very often, tea leaves traces and is able to change the color of the tree.
