Strange Cleaning Products

In a city like London, which is affected by air pollution quite a lot, almost every citizen is trying to reduce the toxic influence in his home. The most commonly used method is cleaning with natural products. Avoiding the use of chemical-based detergents really helps in the fight against pollution, and leads to the creation of some very strange cleaning products, too.

The use of baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice and salt for cleaning is no longer a secret. The Internet is full of articles with tips on how you can use these materials in different domestic chores. The thing is, though, that there are other everyday products with cleaning properties that no one suspects about.

Here is a list from Cleaner London of a few of these products:

• Toothpaste – you normally use it to brush your teeth and you probably hate it for the white marks that it leaves on your pyjamas, but you'll love it when you learn about its cleaning properties. You can clean watermarks from glasses, left on your wooden furniture, with it. Put a little of white toothpaste on a clean cloth and rub it onto the stains, they will be gone in a few minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and polish the surface with a mixture of lemon juice and few drops of olive oil.
• Ketchup – it is well-known for the bad stains it leaves on clothes, but the thing is, that it can also remove stains. Ketchup is one of the best products for cleaning rust from steel surfaces. Rub some of the tomato sauce on the steel piece and leave it for a few minutes. Rinse and there will be no sign of rust.
• White wine – it appears that white wine is the best solution against red whine stains. Pour some over the affected area and blot with a clean towel, repeat this process until the discolouration disappears.

The tips of Cleaner London, may seem quite strange, but believe me they really work. If you don't want to take the risk of using them, though, you can always take advantage of the service of some professional cleaner.
