?Hydrogen Peroxide One cleaning tip using hydrogen peroxide is to use it on white surfaces only, such as in bathroom tiles, white sinks, bathtubs and white flooring. The reason behind this is that hydrogen peroxide usually changes the color of a surface. ?
?Dishwashing Detergents In terms of cleaning your kitchen, it is best to choose cleaning detergents. You can do this by mixing detergent with water to be able to make a solution. Apply it directly to the surface using a sponge then rub the stained area and rinse with water. However, frequent use of soap will create built-up residue that will hinder its shine. It is advisable to try using lukewarm water first while rubbing the area with a sponge. If the area has been successfully cleaned entirely, then there's no need to use detergent at all.
?Lemon Juice Lemon juice is good in removing very tough stains. It is also a good agent in removing rust stains. It can be utilized in cleaning dirty white tiles, faucets and dishes. Start by slicing a piece of lemon and rub it gently on the surface that needs to be cleaned. Leave it for 30 minutes then wash with cold water. This can be used for washing clothes too. If you want to have whiter clothes then go for lemon juice.
