(NC)—Household bleach is the go-to solution for many Canadians when they want to keep their whites bright and remove pesky stains. Though bleach is found in laundry rooms across the country, many Canadians are unsure of how to properly use it to clean other areas of their homes. Here are some ways you can put bleach to work in your house.
1. Remove tough mildew stains from bathroom tiles using a solution of one cup of bleach and 3.8 litres of water. Apply the solution directly on the tiles and let it stand for five minutes before rinsing. Repeat if necessary on heavily soiled surfaces.
2. Reduce the level of bacteria on children's toys with a hard surface disinfectant such as Ultra Javex Bleach by Clorox. To help keep your kid's environment clean, soak hard plastic toys in a mixture made from 3/4 cup of bleach and 3.8 litres of water. Let the toys soak for ten minutes before rinsing and air drying.
3. Keep cut flowers looking fresh longer by adding 1/4 teaspoon of bleach to one litre of water.
4. Clean and deodorize your pet's food and water bowls by filling them with a mixture containing one tablespoon of bleach and 3.8 litres of water. Let the solution stand for two minutes before draining, rinsing and air drying the bowls.
Remember to always read and follow precautions and usage directions before using cleaning products, including storing cleaning products out of reach of children.
