Cleaning Tips

What to do if the toilet is clogged?

The usual reaction is to quickly buy a bottle of highly corrosive hydrochloric acid or something like [Tong Le] to solve the problem.

Actually, there is a simpler, more economical, safer, and more effective method: pour a basin of about one kilogram of crushed ice into the toilet, then press the flush button. The force of the water and ice will flush away any blockages without causing pollution.

Clean kitchen windows with plastic wrap.

Cleaning kitchen windows with plastic wrap is quick and effective. Because of cooking fumes, kitchen windows are always greasy, and cleaning them isn't easy. Don't worry,

Cleaning kitchen windows is no longer such a headache with just a few sheets of cling film! Simply spray cleaner on the kitchen windows and then cover them with a layer of cling film.

After 10-15 minutes, peel off the plastic wrap and wipe the window with a dry cloth. It will easily transform the greasy window into a shiny, brand-new one! Give it a try!

Here are some great tips for cleaning your gas stove—try them out right away!

Tips for cleaning your gas stove (tell your mom!)

Cleaning gas stoves (Source: China Times)

I swear, this is my personal experience, and after using it, I really felt...it was too...too...amazing.

I'm sure everyone has a gas stove at home!

Does cooking always produce some smoke or fumes?

So unless you're very diligent and remember to wipe the dishes after cooking every day,

Otherwise, over time... gradually... the gas stove will accumulate yellowish, oily grime.

Even after using kitchen cleaning fluid and a dishcloth, whenever you need to scrub it clean,

Even if you scrub hard and frantically, you might not be able to get it completely clean, right?

Especially if your gas stove has been used for many years and is only cleaned occasionally,

Then cleaning the gas stove is just the beginning of a nightmare!

I remember after my mother's health deteriorated, the task of cleaning and tidying up our kitchen fell to me. Every time, I had to fight against those stubborn grease stains for half a day, and even if I was exhausted, I still couldn't completely get rid of them.

But... this time... everything is different!

As long as you use flour, whether it is low-gluten, medium-gluten, or high-gluten, it's all acceptable.

Add a dry vegetable sponge and gently pour the flour onto the gas stove.

You can easily remove grease by gently brushing with a dry scouring pad.

If you haven't used it in a long time, you'll need to apply a little more pressure!

It won't hurt your hands or damage the gas stove; after cleaning, it looks like you've got a brand new one!

The gas stove is no longer sticky, but smooth and shiny, and not greasy at all.

How to wash wool garments

How to deal with sweaters that shrink after washing and easily lose their shape...

How can you deal with it in a simple and economical way?

It's very simple... just use shampoo! Here are the steps:

1. First, pour a small amount of shampoo into the bucket to dilute it, then put in your beloved woolen garment... let it soak completely in the water...

2. After about 10-15 minutes... (depending on the amount of clothing, but generally do not exceed 20 minutes)

3. Remove the clothes from the water and hand wash...

4. Place it in a laundry net and put it in the washing machine to spin dry...

(This step can be done together with other clothes.)

5. Finally, lay flat to air dry... (unless you're confident you can hang it on a hanger without it deforming...)

How about that? Pretty simple, right?! ...^^

In the past, I always used dry cleaning to deal with wool garments.

But when the seasons change... that enormous laundry bill usually makes me anything but happy...

That day... I happened to run into two mothers on the tram who were sharing their life experiences...

So I secretly learned it... and found it quite useful!

Even someone as clueless about housework as me found it a piece of cake (I feel so accomplished!)^^

Of course... if it's large items like suits, coats, or jackets... I suggest not trying to save money and taking them to a dry cleaner!

Suddenly I felt... that if I didn't share this method with the world, it would be letting everyone down...

And... the clothes smell nice after washing, I love it!

As for shampoo brands... there shouldn't be any restrictions!

Removing yellow stains by sun-drying wet clothes

After reading the article "What to do about yellow stains on white clothes?", I remembered that Abby's husband, Dahai, is German and very environmentally conscious. When Abby inherited a bunch of Grace brand baby clothes from her cousin, the yellow stains on the cotton garments were a real headache. Dahai then taught her a trick to make the clothes white and bright again without any bleach.

Find a sunny day, spread all the clothes out on the lawn, and then wet them with a hose, but remember to water them from time to time to keep them moist.

After being exposed to sunlight for forty minutes, the clothes immediately become as white as new. This is achieved by using the ozone produced by sunlight and water to naturally bleach the clothes.

Baby clothes stained with poop are a real headache for mothers. Although we don't have a lawn or a water pipe, we do have sunshine and water. That day, after hand-washing my daughter's poop-stained clothes that I couldn't get completely clean, I didn't wring them out or spin them dry.

I left the garment, completely soaking wet, on the windowsill to dry in the sun. When I checked it in the afternoon, the stubborn yellow stains that I couldn't rub off were completely gone! Want to try it? Remember to choose a sunny day, and make sure the garment is wet, not wrung out!

I have a set of methods for cleaning cutting boards

Did you know? You shouldn't wash the cutting board you use for fish with hot water!

Many people believe that hot water can remove the fishy smell, but this is not actually the case. Because fish contains protein, washing it with hot water will actually cause the protein to coagulate.

This produces a fishy smell.

The correct way is to scrub with salt and then rinse with cold water.

Finally, expose it to the sun to dry completely. This will ensure thorough sterilization!
