Using washing up liquid around the house
2014-06-23
There seems to be a need to buy thousands of different cleaning products for different purposes around the house these days. The prevalence of different brands, making different products for different jobs, means that it can sometimes be hard to know exactly how to go about cleaning certain parts of the house, unless you have a completely certified cleaning product for that part of the house. You would hardly ever use bathroom cleaner in the kitchen, despite the fact that it uses very similar ingredients, and has a very similar purpose! Essentially, this feeling that all things need to be treated differently can get in the way of some decent savings, and is also a bit strange if you think about it. Most of the time, people’s fears about using the wrong things for cleaning various surfaces come down to worries surrounding the chemical structures of the cleaning products, and how that reacts with the surface in question. What most surfaces need is a cleaning product that is not too acidic, nor too alkali, and this basically means that it needs to be pH neutral, just to be safe. The same goes for a variety of surfaces, new and old, expensive or standard. If the cleaning product is PH neutral, then it can be used on marble as well as most textiles! So what on earth could be such a universal cleaner? Well, you may be surprised to hear, but you can use normal household detergent for pretty much anything - washing up liquid is your best friend!

Whilst some cleaning products are indeed tailored for their specific uses, you may well find that you can use washing up liquid just as well on their designated counterparts. You will find that a scrubbing brush and some washing up liquid can get a bathroom looking shiny, and will be useful in removing stains from the carpet if you are in a pickle! Many people will be loathed to risk covering their carpet with the stuff, but in essence, it is a similar product to carpet shampoo, as it simply lathers up when scrubbed, and you need only to rinse it out and brush or hoover up the residue when it is done. Knowing this can bring you a fair bit of freedom in the house when it comes to cleaning. You will no longer be dashing out to buy bathroom cleaner anymore, because you can do it quickly with the washing up liquid. The very same can be used for greasy surfaces in other areas of the house, as the detergent is great for tackling oily mess, just as it does when you are using it on the pots and pans in the sink. Be sure to arm yourself with a decent rough sponge or brush, so that you can cut through built up stains, and give the detergent a vessel to be applied with. You can even use detergent to clean your floor. Just add a couple of squirts to your mop bucket, then wring the mop well and get to work. No matter what your floor is made from, washing up liquid will do you well. You can always rely on a PH neutral soap cleaner to give you good results, without fear of any chemicals getting the surfaces looking anything other than nice and clean. Form windows to walls, kitchens to bathrooms, it is all part of the same, and simple detergent is all you really need.
