Cleaning: Fact or Fiction Part I
There are so many things that you’ve challenged your parents on over the years. Now it’s time to break rinsing rituals and toweling traditions. Let’s debunk a few cleaning myths passed down by mom and dad.
1. Use old newspaper to clean glass and mirrors.
There are mixed opinions about this one. Some say newspaper leaves a newsprint residue on. Many have used this method for years and would sincerely disagree. I’ve used newspaper to clean glass in my office and compared it to the use of paper towel. The glass cleaned with newspaper had less streaks and no newsprint. Still, for top notch glass cleaning, a squeegee works best.
2. Hair spray removes ink stains
If you have a can of hair spray left over from the 80s, this cleaning notion may be true. Then, hairspray contained more alcohol, which is a big stain remover. These days, hairsprays are low-alcohol or alcohol free.
3. Baking Soda clears out odors in the refrigerator.
This odor-removing trick is so popular it has to be true. But here’s why it works. Baking soda is nearly neutral in pH level so it stabilizes the pH of odors caused by both strong acids and highly basic solutions.
