Grandma's Old Fashioned Cleaning Tips Part 2

Grandma's Old Fashioned Cleaning Tips Part 2

Dear Reader,

You will find here more little gems from my Grandma about cleaning your home the old fashioned way. We at Cleaners East London, like to use these trusted methods when we come and clean for you at your home. Some of these old style cleaning methods may seem a bit "odd" to you now a days but believe me, were all the rage when my Grandma was alive.

Removing Rings Around Collars

Rub hair shampoo into the collar, just as when you wash your hair. After ten minutes wash the garment as normal in the washing machine.

Cleaning Windows

All you do is add a bit of vinegar to your water. The acid will help cut through the grease on the window making the cleaner more effective. It will also add a nice sparkle.

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.

Removing Water Rings From Wooden Furniture

Water rings are formed in the surface of the wood - not in the wax or polish, as some people assume. For waxed wood you can remove the rings by rubbing a little white spirit into the mark.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Stainless steel sinks, work-tops and equipment can be made to sparkle by wiping with a vinegar soaked cloth.

Cleaning Net Curtains

There are a number of ways to clean net curtains and bring them back to that brilliant while - here are a few of them:

Soak them in a solution of water with a dissolved denture tablet, then wash as normal

But there is another way!

1. First to put them through a washing cycle with water only, to remove the dust.

2. Follow up with a washing cycle with washing powder to clean them. On both washing cycles, add a new white towel to bulk the load, otherwise the material doesn't tumble/agitate very well.

3. Leave them to drip dry on the washing line outdoors.

I do hope you find these tips useful when cleaning your home.
