Dirt on the mesh door can be removed by gently rubbing it with a melamine sponge moistened with water. Soak the sponge in water with baking soda where dirt shows. As a guide, 1 liter of water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

Mr. Ozaki advised: “The size of the melamine sponge should be about 10 cm square, which is easy to grip. To remove dirt such as exhaust gases and dust adhering to the mesh door, it is sufficient baking soda instead of a strong cleaning agent. ” What to do.

Wear socks to clean high places. Attach the stockings to the tip of the handle or broomstick and leave the tip a bit for an instant flap. “Even in high places that are out of reach, the dust can be absorbed by static electricity. It is also convenient for dusting the umbrella of electric light.” (Mr. Ozaki)

Cleaning a chair or ladder is unstable and dangerous. Use a long floor cleaner to safely clean the area around the ceiling. Wet it with water and squeeze it well, put a towel on the tip and wipe it clean. It is also effective to use the nylon towel used in the bathroom on the bathroom ceiling.

For stubborn oil stains on fans and gas ranges, place the removed parts in a bag containing hot water and detergent at a temperature of 40 to 50 ° C to highlight and remove stains. Hot water is used because the effect of the detergent increases as the temperature increases. If you leave it for 20 to 30 minutes, the dirt will come out, so you can scrub it with a sponge.

Also, for grease stains on vertical surfaces such as utensils and tiles that cannot be soaked in kitchen cleaning, spray detergent, attach kitchen paper, and wrap with food wrap.

“The purpose of wrapping is to prevent the detergent from dripping and to prevent it from drying out. It is even more effective if heat is applied with a tumble dryer ”(Mr. Ozaki). After leaving it for a while, remove the wrap and clean it with a cloth.

The wrap is also effective in removing mold in the bathroom. First, apply kitchen paper and spray a mold remover from above. Also, seal it with a wrap from above, leave for 10 to 20 minutes, remove the wrap and kitchen paper, and wash the detergent thoroughly.

Also, to remove water stains, which is a strong enemy of bathroom cleaning, make citrated water in which one-half to one teaspoon of citric acid dissolves in 100 ml of water, and apply it on the stained part of water. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, then scrub it with a sponge.

Mr. Ozaki said, “Since water stains are a mass of alkali, they can be dissolved using acidic citric acid, which has the opposite characteristics. 4 to 6 of the back tricks take time for detergents and the baking soda to react. It takes some time, so the point is to make the dirt stand out after a while. “
