Home appliances and furniture are essential in our daily lives, yet we often neglect their cleaning and maintenance. Here are ten practical tips to help you take better care of your home items and keep them looking great for longer.
Tip 1: Scorch marks from fireworks, ashes, or unextinguished matches can appear on wooden surfaces. If only the paint is damaged, gently rub the area with a small piece of hard cloth wrapped around a toothpick. Then apply a thin layer of wax to restore the finish.
Tip 2: For cracks in wood furniture or floors, mix crumpled newspaper with a bit of alum and boil it in water or rice soup to make a paste. Use a knife to fill the crack, let it dry, then paint over it with matching color to restore the look.
Tip 3: If adhesive residue remains after removing a label, use a thick eraser to gently rub it away. This works well for sticky marks on furniture or chewing gum on the floor.
Tip 4: Regularly wax leather and wooden furniture to maintain their shine. You can also use products like Bi Lizhu for extra protection and longevity.
Tip 5: Hot cups placed directly on lacquered furniture may leave circular stains. To remove them, use kerosene, alcohol, or strong tea to gently wipe the area. Alternatively, apply iodine and cover with petroleum jelly, then wipe every two days until the mark disappears.
Tip 6: If the lacquer on custom furniture wears off without damaging the wood, use a crayon or pigment that matches the color to cover the exposed area. Finish with a thin layer of clear nail polish for a seamless repair.
Tip 7: Frequent use of electroplated appliance switches can cause them to lose luster. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to protect against sweat and corrosion.
Tip 8: White desks and chairs can be tricky to clean. Squeeze some toothpaste onto a soft cloth and gently rub the stained areas. Avoid using too much pressure to prevent scratching the surface.
Tip 9: Rattan or bamboo items may yellow or develop scale over time. Clean them with saltwater to restore their natural color and texture. Wipe regularly with a damp cloth to keep them fresh and clean.
Tip 10: Tea stains on fireproof tables can be tough to remove. Sprinkle a little water on the table, then use the aluminum foil from a cigarette pack to scrub the stain. Rinse with water afterward for an easy cleanup.
