House rules
With the help of a Japanese napkin, you can easily get rid of any kind of dirt in the house. The embossed side is suitable for wiping countertops, refrigerator, doors, bathtubs, sinks. Ribbed weaving is used for effective, but at the same time, delicate cleaning of stubborn dirt: kitchen stoves and tiles, ovens, hoods, metal coatings and other surfaces. There are special napkins for glass, which effortlessly make windows completely transparent, without the slightest stains. The same irreplaceable material will help to clean mirrors, crystal and other glass products to shine.
Before starting cleaning, you need to moisten the napkin with warm water, squeeze out excess moisture and start cleaning the surfaces without using chemicals. If you need to remove dust, you can do this with a dry cloth. In this case, it works like a magnet, attracting dust particles. The surface remains clean for a long time.
The water temperature during washing should not be higher than sixty degrees. Dry it at room temperature, but not on a battery. If used correctly, the napkin will last more than two years. Japanese cleaning wipes have appeared relatively recently on the consumer market, but have already managed to please the hostesses and employees of cleaning companies.
Composition and properties
The secret of cleaning efficiency lies in the composition of the napkins. They are made of special thinnest threads made of polymers. It is polyamide and polyester. In the manufacture of the web, extruders are used, into which the material is pushed through holes with the desired section. Recently, the process has become more complicated due to the release of a double thread. Thanks to this technology, matter is obtained two-sided.
With the help of cut microfibers, the napkin works like a pump. Absorbs moisture much better than regular fabric. Together with water, it seems to suck in dust, dirt, fat, which is retained inside, between the fibers of the fiber. Thanks to the double thread, one side of the napkin is smooth and soft, while the other is ribbed and stiff.
What not to use
A strict taboo is imposed on certain funds in the kitchen. Under no circumstances can they be used. These are aggressive solvents, abrasives and similar compounds.
Solvents
Plastics, polymer films, paint and varnish coatings are sensitive to the action of organic solvents. In order not to completely spoil the surface of the countertop, facade, before using the product, you should study its composition indicated on the label. If it contains the word "solvent", you cannot use the reagent.
Nitroglycerine
A transparent liquid, slightly resembling oil in consistency, cannot be used for cleaning in the kitchen. Pollution cannot be eliminated with its help, and there will not be much benefit from such an alternative. And then it will be difficult to remove the remaining oily stains from the glossy surface.
Alcohol
Most alcohols, including ethyl alcohols, are solvents. Alcohol-containing liquids contribute to the destruction of the integrity of paint and varnish coatings, the loss of gloss.
Polymer resins
The components of adhesives and varnishes, which are polymer resins, of course, cannot be used for cleaning coatings. In addition, when accidentally applied to the surface, they create the following problem: how to remove this composition from the coating.
Soda and salt
Generally harmless components, however, can cause serious harm if misused. Both soda and salt are weakly abrasive materials, they will definitely leave scratches on glossy facades, destroy the gloss of the coating.
What not to do
When scrubbing the screen from dirt, you need to adhere to a number of rules.There are several steps that must not be taken as they may result in malfunctioning of the device.
Use liquid window cleaners
If the display does not have a special protective coating, do not treat it with liquid window cleaners and solvents that contain chemical components. When exposed to these substances, the monitor is destroyed.
Clean included appliances
Before cleaning, you need to turn off the TV. In this case, it is not enough just to press the shutdown button on the remote control. To ensure maximum safety when wiping equipment, you should completely de-energize the TV by removing the plug from the outlet.
Use a lint-free cloth
A soft, lint-free cloth is suitable for removing dirt. One option is microfiber, which is a versatile cloth for removing streaks, fingerprints and smudges. Microfiber has the property of absorbing moisture, therefore, to remove large contaminants, it is allowed to pre-moisten it.
Wash with water
If the surface of the screen is not wiped with microfiber, do not apply water or liquid products. This will provoke a deterioration in the clarity of the transmitted image and the appearance of rainbow stains.
Can't scrape or scratch the surface
When wiping off dust and dirt, do not apply force, press on the display and scratch on it. Otherwise, noticeable scratches or cracks will remain on the surface.
Special relationship to LED surface
Equipment with LED surfaces must be cleaned with extreme care. Even a slight mechanical stress can provoke surface destruction.
Turn on until completely dry
Before turning on the device, wipe the screen dry or wait until the traces of the cleaning agent dry. This is necessary for the safety and protection of the display.
Additional Tips
Nonwoven microfiber wet wipes are commercially available. The products are impregnated with a disinfectant solution and stored in a package with a valve. Disposable products are required for wiping clean surfaces for disinfection purposes. At home, you can use a roll of cleaning cloth used in car washes.
Technical material is produced from:
- non-woven propylene;
- viscose;
- waste paper with cellulose.
The size of the napkin is not limited in length, which is convenient for wet cleaning the floor, wiping tiled walls. Cut a piece of fabric to the desired size using a mop. Manufacturers offer options for rubberized microfiber and cellulose fabrics, which extend the service life of products, and improve the quality of cleaning surfaces from dirt. Each type of napkins has its own service life, after which the product loses its consumer qualities. Stains appear on the surfaces, and villi remain. You should adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for the method and duration of use.

Usage
Porcelain stoneware resists direct contact with chemicals.Still, one should not act on the surface with aggressive mixtures.
If some of the chemical is on the surface, it must be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, damage will remain on the product. Composite stone is a strong and durable material. Drops, heavy impacts with a heavy object, and cutting with a knife leave behind chips and cracks. Over time, the sink becomes covered with scratches, which are noticeable on dark-colored items. To prevent minor defects from contributing to the appearance of severe damage, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the material.
Why stains remain on the glass
Stains, stains and deposits on the glass remain after cleaning for many reasons. Even with perfect cleaning, unpleasant marks can remain. And the reasons for this phenomenon lie in the following factors:
- Cleaning in hot weather. Under the influence of direct sunlight, moisture evaporates rapidly, which leads to the appearance of stains. It is for this reason that it is not recommended to clean windows in such weather.
- Incorrectly selected detergents. Some low-quality compounds can leave cloudy marks on the glass. In addition, abrasive particles can scratch windows and leave streaks.
- The wrong way to clean. Streaks and stains may remain if all dust has not been removed from the windows. Window cleaning is carried out in several stages, which are accompanied by the preparation of glass and the use of chemicals.
To clean the window without streaks and deposits, it is important to choose the right technology and cleaning agents.

Traditional methods
A number of folk techniques are not inferior to the use of special substances. Using available tools, it is possible to effectively remove dirt from the screen without damaging it.
Vinegar
A safe wiping agent for an LCD monitor is a 3% vinegar solution. The instructions for use are as follows:
- vinegar essence is mixed with cold water in equal proportions;
- a soft cloth is dipped in the solution and the display is wiped in a circular motion;
- with a clean dry cloth, wash off the remains of the essence;
- wipe the screen dry.
Soap solution
If, in addition to dust, other contaminants need to be removed, it is recommended to make a soap solution. For this purpose, any soap is suitable, with the exception of laundry soap. Dissolve the soap in water, moisten a cloth in the resulting solution and gently wipe the TV. Then wash off the soap stains and wipe the display dry.
Isopropyl alcohol
Dry dirt and fingerprints can be removed with 70% isopropyl alcohol. The substance is diluted in cold water, observing equal proportions, a napkin is soaked in the solution, squeezed out and the screen is wiped.
Material types
Leather bags are made from several types of material.
Smooth genuine leather
Most often, when making bags, they use smooth natural leather, which has a perfectly smooth texture. It is made from the skins of sheep, bulls, goats and calves. The advantages of such a material include its strength, reliability, durability and resistance to moisture.
Soft skin
Some girls buy themselves handbags made of soft leather. Such material goes through special grinding, which gives it a unique appearance. After processing, the surface becomes very soft and elastic.
Velours
Velor is a leather material that has gone through preliminary chrome tanning. When creating velor, double-sided grinding is carried out to make the surface smoother. Many people confuse this material with suede, as they are very similar.
Polished leather
The main difference between this material and other types of leather is considered to be a shiny glossy finish, treated with varnish. The quality of patent leather depends on the manufacturing technology. When creating the material, the skins are first treated with a special primer, and then varnished.
Artificial leather
Nowadays, many handbags are made not from natural, but from artificial leather. These materials are very similar in appearance and therefore difficult to distinguish. The main differences are the quality of the products and their cost. Budget models of women's handbags are made from leatherette.
Reptile leather or embossed
Embossed leather is a leather that has a unique pattern on its surface. Most often, such skin coverings are given the appearance of the original skin of snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles. Products made from this material are dense and expensive.
Types and features of coatings
Manufacturers of kitchen sets and worktops successfully combine different materials. Most often it is chipboard or MDF, laminated (painted). Acrylic paints compete with plastic, and decorating with cheap PVC film helps to change the look beyond recognition. This is how moisture-resistant, durable stone, natural wood, futuristic slabs are created.
Each material has both strengths and weaknesses. Accordingly, specific cleaning agents are used for them.
Plastic
The use of cheap, durable and unpretentious plastic elements in the manufacture of furniture minimizes the risk of somehow ruining cabinets and cabinets if handled carelessly. Polymers are not afraid of water, can withstand contact with hot dishes, do not fade
Another advantage of the material is the low weight of plastics: in comparison with metal, wood, they are much lighter, without loss of overall rigidity and reliability.
Dye
The traditional way of treating facades is painting, it is used to create durable, abrasion-resistant coatings on the surfaces of pressed MDF boards. According to the technology, a coloring layer is first applied, and then a varnish (to create a glossy effect). Some difficulties lie in the increased requirements for the preparation of the base: the absence of potholes, gaps, roughness. This is ensured by repeated grinding of the material with abrasives and emery papers.
PVC film
A polymer film applied to the surface of the material by pressing is a budget solution. The consumer can choose white, blue, red, black and other colors according to his taste, of which the manufacturer has enough in stock.
The advantages of the material are wear resistance, strength, low cost.
Acrylic
Acrylic materials are polymeric, which means they are fully endowed with the advantages and disadvantages of plastics. The method of applying a layer of plastic to the main surface is by gluing. The coating is durable and easy to maintain.
But when choosing a detergent, aggressive compounds should be avoided - they will destroy the gloss of the surface.
Painted MDF under varnish
MDF is considered a hygroscopic material; without special protection, the board is quickly saturated with moisture and collapses. To do this, it is painted, covered with a special varnish. The coating will protect MDF, but at the same time it is sensitive to abrasives and aggressive compounds.
