The home of a couple without children is not the same as a house with children. We know. The order and a careful decoration have yielded to a avalanche of toys, mountains of clothes and the odd one. In addition to the necessary cleaning and disinfection of the home, it should be borne in mind that any carelessness is good for a wall to appear painted or the grandmother's favorite set of clothes to end up stained with fruit porridge. Therefore, today we bring you cleaning tricks That will save your life if you have children.
Little artists?
How nice it is to make crafts with the kids. Temperas, watercolors, modeling clay, markers ... It helps them get their most creative side, entertains them and, at the same time, entertains them. But as parents we know that where there is a small artist there is a potential danger that the work of art ends in one (or several) complicated spots to remove.
The walls they suffer the most in these cases and, sooner or later, they end up with some graffiti of pencil or marker. If the wall is white, you can remove the stain rubbing with a cloth or wet sponge with a product that contains bleach and detergent, as Star 2in1. In the event that the wall is colored, you should rub with the magic eraser until the drawing of your little one is eliminated.
If your kids like to have fun with purpurin, you will know that the greatest risk is that it falls to the ground and spreads throughout the house, being a nuisance to pick it up later. A good trick is do it with modeling clay. They can help you paste the plasticine in the glitter to pick it up with a very funny result because at the end you will have a new modeling clay that shines!
And with clay We continue because if it ends in the upholstery of the sofa or attached to the clothes, the best to remove it is scrape it first and then rub it with a liquid stain remover as Neutrex Stain Remover, for white or colored garments, and then wash it as you normally do.
Stain remover is a great ally in a house with children in which surely, on more than one occasion, you will have to eliminate some tempera spot. To do so effectively, we recommend you put the garment to soak for about 20 minutes with Neutrex Oxy, if it is white, or Neutrex Oxy 5, if it is colored, and then wash it in the washing machine.
It is true that children are the most prone to such accidents, but adults do not deliver them. Who has not ever stained clothes with pen? Nothing better to remove that stain than act as soon as possible, rubbing gently with cotton and alcohol on top of the stain, then apply the stain remover adequate (depending on whether the garment is colored or not) and washing normally.
And this, how do I clean it?
We all have in the home some object or corner that we don't know how to clean in depth or that we have never considered whether we should clean it more thoroughly. Some of the most common are those that are very small or difficult to access.
For example, him computer keyboard or the remote control, objects that we also use a lot and should be cleaned frequently, we must also disinfect them. For this nothing better than using a toothbrush or an ear stick previously moistened with 2in1 Star. This method will also be very useful for cleaning small parts of some toys.
The toys bigger suits clean them frequently, not only when we see that they have been stained. The toys are on the floor, the kids touch them and put them in their mouths, they get stained and accumulate many germs. To end them, and avoid some of the infections that children take, such as colds and flu, you can put them in the dishwasher. It is recommended that, with the exception of wood, once a week disinfect them with a product with bleach, such as Star 2in1.
Those who are in the bathroomalso must clean with bleach and clear up very well afterwards, since they can reach accumulate mold due to the humidity of that room and being in frequent contact with water.
Teddies, meanwhile, are a mite nest. Keeping them at bay is very important to prevent children from developing allergies, so we recommend that, if the label allows, periodically wash in the washing machine.
Stains that resist
Children get stained and it is better not to try to avoid it. Some everyday stains are difficult to remove And with a simple washing in the washing machine is not enough. Therefore, they need a specific treatment and act as soon as possible so that the stain does not penetrate too much into the tissues.
The fruit stains or juices, so common in kids, they are more easily removed if soak the garment with water and a little bleach, like Neutrex, for linen, and washing in the washing machine with the usual detergent. For colored clothes, you can perform the same procedure but using Neutrex Oxy5 Color.
In the case of ice cream and popsicles, first you have to eliminate as much product as possible with a damp cloth, and then apply a stain remover like those mentioned and wash the garment.
The chocolate or cocoa stains must be dried immediately with absorbent paper or with a spoon (if there is a lot). To eliminate them effectively you have to pretate them, before washing them in the washing machine, with a good liquid detergent such as Wipp Express Gel, whose stain remover enzymes act quickly on the stain.
The spots are inevitable but they are also necessary because they indicate that children play, have fun and learn. That is why it is important to anticipate and know how to treat each of them, to be able to eliminate them effectively.
