Maintaining cleanliness in the house is not easy! Fortunately, shop windows are full of all kinds of "helpers". Cleaning and washing products are essential for cleaning the house. No housewife can do without these bottles now, the kitchen and the bathroom are filled with various jars and sprays. After all, this is a real miracle - you put a gel or powder on a contaminated surface, wait a few minutes and wash it off with water!
But not all cleaning and detergents work flawlessly. I have to rub, sweat, spoil a manicure and make a lot more problems. Making a choice is very difficult, so the housewives have to try everything for themselves. We will plunge into this problem with a head ...
Station wagon
Manufacturers and scientists simplify housewives' work with novelties. Not so long ago there were funds that can cope with any kind of pollution on any surface. Very similar to some kind of magic elixir! It is hard to believe that rust, carbon deposits, dirt, and lime deposits can be washed with gel from one bottle.
A universal cleaner helps save time and money. I unscrewed the lid, and you can wash everything in a row, without interrupting to replace the product. But many women claim that they do not like such a product. It doesn’t wash anything qualitatively, because its action is not directed at anything specifically. With the same success, you can scrub everything with laundry detergent or laundry soap. Opinions of customers differ on this issue. Some argue that such a tool that cleans everything without exception is very convenient and economical!
Consistency
Once in the department of household chemicals in the store, it is better to have a lot of free time. Eyes run up, each manufacturer promises perfect cleanliness without unnecessary movements, a pleasant aroma and safety are guaranteed. So how do you choose exactly what suits you? Universal cleaning agent can be liquid, powder, gel. Consider the most striking examples:
- Foams and liquid products are very convenient to use. Using a special tip, you can apply them on any surface and not arrange around puddles and smudges. Sprays are aimed at removing soft deposits, plaque and grease. They will not be able to cope with old pollution. The leader in this list is Cillit BANG, it is decent, but the effect is noticeable immediately. Mistresses also noted Glorix as the best tool to clean everything. He manages fat on the floor, stove, walls in minutes. It can be used in the bathroom, tiles and tiles will shine like new.
- If you have work with old stains, grease, seek the help of classic powder products. They are designed for cleaning hard surfaces, they cope well with any stains. That "Pemolux" that Comet - an effective powder cleaner. The composition of these powders is quite safe, the main component is abrasive.
- Creams and gels for cleansing surfaces - this is a brilliant creation. They can be used in small quantities, applied pointwise, one package is enough for a long time. Cif, Domestos have positive reviews and a powerful line-up. Removing mainly soft soot, soot, fat.
Acid
Acidic bath cleaners are a real find. Active acids fight mineral deposits, salt deposits, and rust. But they often should not be used, acid can cause corrosion, destroy cement. Use this type of product only once a month during spring cleaning. Mid-acid products are suitable for laundering combined contamination. Tiles and faience can be rubbed with them at least every day - nothing will happen, but be careful with weaker surfaces.
Alkali
Alkaline products, unlike acidic counterparts, are completely useless against mineral deposits. But to remove oil and grease stains - this is the work of alkali! A universal cleaning agent usually contains a surfactant, an anti-corrosion component, so any surface can be washed with such an assistant without difficulty. Do not have to sweat and rub for a long time. Medium-alkaline chemistry is more difficult to cope with fats, it is less aggressive and dangerous to the skin than strongly alkaline. With the latest tools you need to work with gloves and a mask with extreme caution. It is better not to use or store such products at home.
Golden mean
There are neutral cleaners. Reviews about them are contradictory. Many housewives claim that there is no sense in them, except to wash the floors! Plaque, grease, stone remain in place after cleaning with such gels and powders. They do not add shine or purity. The farm is almost useless. But there are also positive opinions! Most importantly, neutral remedies are safe. They do not leave chemical burns, allergic reactions, no side effects. After all, they consist of a mix of surfactants that will not harm the human body.
Surfactant
Any detergent, detergent consists of a surfactant. Each of its types works according to its own scenario. They divide surfactants into several categories:
- Anionic: their role is wetting and washing reagents, emulsifier.
- Cationic are acid salts and quaternary bases. They give a bactericidal effect, do not have detergent qualities. It is just a good disinfectant.
- Nonionic compounds do not dissociate with the aqueous solution. Used alone or with anionic counterparts. The substance should be dissolved in a dispersion medium and begin to work.
Pure white
The bathroom is a hotbed of germs and bacteria. They love a humid environment and enjoy living on plumbing, faucets, shelves and floors. Cleaning products for the housewife are selected especially carefully. It’s not in vain that they say: “The toilet is the face of the house.” In this room everything should shine and be snow-white. Universal and time-tested tool "White-gel" copes with the tasks in the bathroom. The smell of chlorine is not tolerated by all, only because this tool is not on the first line of the rating.
Bright bottles of the Sanfor company are also noted by housewives and experts as the best cleaning products. The strongest acids in the composition effectively affect rust, plaque and return plumbing to its former whiteness and freshness. The most positive point is that you do not need to rub anything. Just apply the product, make a little foam and rinse thoroughly with water after ten minutes!

From the people
Previously, people did fine without jars and bottles with the words "cleaner". Managed by improvised methods and on their own. Our great-grandmothers effectively fought with germs, fat, and dirt with the help of soda, ash, peroxide, ammonia and other ingredients. If you mix them in the correct proportions and make an effort to the surface, you will stop looking into the department of household chemicals.
Lemon juice is a very powerful substance. You can wash them and the toilet, and the bath, and the sink. Mix lemon juice with water 1: 1 and add a teaspoon of soda. Treat contaminated surfaces with this mixture and leave for ten minutes. After you wash off the plaque, you can be blinded by shine and cleanliness!
With a slice of lemon, periodically wipe the rim of the toilet bowl. Bacteria will not be able to accumulate in this place, the air will clear. Use vinegar for effective disinfection. Also a solution of vinegar and water washes tiles and glass.
Miracle powder
For many years, soda remains the most versatile and affordable detergent. Crockery, plumbing, tile, floor - everything is subject to her. Many traditional cleaning products take soda as a basis. If you mix three parts of dry mustard, one part of soda and a few drops of lemon - you get an excellent universal tool for cleaning the kitchen, dishes, floors and any greasy surfaces. This express method will help to quickly tidy up a running kitchen. Everything will shine with purity and freshness.
If the toilet needs to be urgently resuscitated, add half a pack of soda to the inside and slowly pour vinegar over it. Foam will appear, during this reaction, mineral deposits, rust and dirt will disappear. The toilet will look like it was an hour ago standing in a shop window!
