1. Do not turn off energy-saving lamps frequently
Many people report that their energy-saving lamps do not seem to be very energy-saving, and they are easy to break. In fact, this is due to some things that were not paid attention to when using energy-saving lamps. One of the most important points is that it is not advisable to turn on and off frequently in a short period of time.
Connecting the current multiple times in a short period of time can easily damage the life of the energy-saving lamp. If we need to go in and out of the same room many times within an hour, we'd better change the good habit of "turning off the lights" that we have developed since childhood, because even if the energy-saving lamp is on for a long time, it will not consume much electricity, otherwise it will waste electricity.
2. The water purifier suddenly turns into a dirty water source
The purpose of using a water purifier is to obtain a better quality of life, but if you just use it blindly without cleaning and maintenance, it will be very dangerous. It is easy to be polluted twice and becomes a "dirty water purifier". The water may be dirtier than before the water purifier is installed. This is more likely to happen with multi-layer filters. Therefore, it is recommended that the filter element on the water purifier be removed for cleaning and disinfection every week. It is best to use a water purifier with a backwash function.
In addition, the activated carbon filter also has an adsorption effect on bacteria. The bacteria adsorbed in the holes are easy to reproduce. At the same time, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon is limited. When the adsorption capacity is saturated, excessive adsorbed impurities will fall out. The filter membrane will trap many pollutants in the membrane. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will also cause the reproduction of bacteria and algae. Some water purifiers have a backwash function, which can be cleaned in time. It is best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. However, even if backwashing is performed, as the flow rate increases, there is still the problem of material aging, and it is best to replace it regularly.
It is advisable to replace the activated carbon once every 3 months and the membrane once every 1 to 2 years.
3. Clean the air purifier frequently
After the air purifier is used for a period of time, the filter will absorb a lot of dirt. If it is not cleaned in time, it will also cause Fungi multiply and become a source of pollution. Therefore, when consumers use it, they must promptly replace and clean air ducts, filters and other components according to the manufacturer's requirements.
4. The air conditioner should be cleaned regularly
Summer has arrived, and the long-dormant air conditioner is about to take over again. It is recommended that you thoroughly clean the filter before restarting the air conditioner. Because after one season of use of the air conditioner, a large amount of dust will accumulate on the filter, which contains a large number of dust mites, which is harmful to the body. In fact, cleaning is very simple. Just remove the filter and rinse the dust away with clean water.
5. Fresh air that is not washed will pollute the air
If the filter of the fresh air system is not cleaned in time, it is likely to become a source of indoor pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently clean the filter and filter of the fresh air system or fresh air device. The movement is replaced. Normally, it can be replaced once every 2-3 months. When the air quality is not good, it is recommended to replace it once a month.
In addition, the materials of the fresh air system movements are different. Some fresh air systems use paper movements, which need to be cleaned or replaced regularly; some products use plastic or aluminum movements, which need to be cleaned and replaced every six months. It can be cleaned once and replaced after a few years. The owner needs to treat it differently according to the specific situation.
6. Over-disinfection is harmful
Currently, many families use disinfectants when doing laundry or even cleaning in order to maintain a safe living environment. But if there are no patients with infectious diseases at home, there is no need to disinfect with disinfectant. In addition, disinfectant is a chemical product, which has a certain corrosive effect on furniture, etc., and the residual disinfectant on the surface of the object and the smell of the disinfectant can irritate the skin and respiratory tract, and excessive use may be harmful.
The best disinfection method for ordinary households should still be boiling. If you need to enhance the disinfection effect, you can also add 0.5% edible alkali or a little soapy water to the water.
If there is a person with intestinal infectious diseases at home, you should also pay attention to washing your hands, and pay attention to cleaning door handles that your hands frequently touch. If there are people with respiratory tract infections, please open windows for ventilation.
7. 84 disinfectant + toilet cleaning spirit = poisoning
In order to clean the toilet more thoroughly, some owners will mix 84 disinfectant and toilet cleaning spirit. This is very dangerous. Dangerous! Because when these two solutions are mixed, a strong chemical reaction will occur, producing chlorine gas, which can cause poisoning if inhaled. There are reports that owners were poisoned and even nearly died as a result.
8. A check valve must also be installed in the bathroom
During renovation, if the range hood needs to be modified, holes must be drilled and a check valve must be installed. Valve, otherwise the smell of oil smoke will not be dissipated at all in the future. When the neighbor's house cooks, the oil smoke in the flue will flow back into your own home.
Many people may not know that the exhaust duct in the bathroom also needs to be installed with this device, otherwise it will encounter the same situation as the range hood. At present, everyone uses integrated ceilings, and we cannot see the hidden projects inside the ceiling. Some readers reported that the exhaust air in their own homes has always felt bad. When they opened the ceiling, they discovered that the exhaust duct was not connected to the exhaust outlet at all, but was just thrown onto the ceiling at will.
9. Old carbon bags can spit out poisons
In order to solve the problem of decoration pollution, many owners have bought activated carbon bags to absorb harmful substances. Activated carbon is a very good adsorbent. It has good adsorption effect on benzene organic volatiles, and the adsorption effect is very high in the early stage of use.
However, over time, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon will weaken to varying degrees, and after saturation, it will release previously absorbed harmful substances indoors. Some people say that activated carbon can be used again after being exposed to the sun for a month. This is also incorrect. The sunlight temperature is not high, and substances such as benzene cannot be effectively volatilized.
10. Close the toilet lid before flushing
After using the toilet, you should close the lid before flushing, because the strong impact will turn the feces into mist. Diffuse in the air and pollute other items and the air in the bathroom.
Furniture Lifestyle Knowledge Part 3
1. Oil stains are acidic stains, so you need to use alkaline cleaners
Kitchen oil stains are acidic stains. If you want to remove them, you don’t need to remember various cleaning tips. Or detergent, just use an alkaline detergent.
Common alkaline cleaners: baking soda, soap, oxygen cleaner and many other internet celebrity oil cleaners.
Widely used and cost-effective, baking soda is completely painless to use. It can neutralize most acidic oils and turn them into water-soluble substances, making oil stains easier to clean. Not inferior to most of our common kitchen cleaners.
Different oil stains require different ways to use baking soda. For oil stains on ordinary stove eye racks, you can put them directly into the pot, add water and baking soda, boil them and let them cool to room temperature. The oil stains can be easily removed can be removed.
For grease that has solidified on the stove for a long time, you can use baking soda and water at a ratio of 2:1 to make a baking soda paste and apply it on it. For very stubborn dirt, the effect is obvious.
When food is heated in a microwave oven, oil spots will often splash out. Put a bowl of baking soda solvent into it and heat it for one minute. After opening, a rag can wipe away all the oil stains in the microwave oven.
The cortical oil in the bathroom sewer is also acidic. Directly pouring baking soda can also have a good cleaning effect.
Moreover, baking soda is a relatively safe detergent and is also one of the common baking ingredients. You can use it to clean without worrying about residue and harm to the human body. It is really best to use it in the kitchen.
For range hoods and stoves that have not been cleaned for a long time, in addition to baking soda, you can also use the same alkaline oxygen cleaner and soak it in hot water. Even heavy dirt can be cleaned thoroughly. net.
2. Scale is alkaline dirt, so use acidic cleaners
Scale is a difficult problem in bathroom cleaning. Refer to our first idea and first determine the scale, soap stains, and urine stains, etc., these are alkaline, so as long as you use acidic cleaners, they can be easily removed.
Common acidic cleaners: citric acid, mistolin and many other Internet celebrity scale removal cleaners, Internet celebrity toilet cleaners, etc.
Citric acid cleaner, which is widely used, does not hurt your hands, and is easy to buy, can be said to have good effects on bathroom cleaning in all aspects.
It is common sense to use it to clean the scale in the hot water kettle. Just pour it in directly, add water and boil it.
In addition, it can also be made into a solvent to soak the shower head and remove the condensed scale problem in the shower head.
Made into citric acid wet wipes, you can directly wipe stainless steel faucets to remove scale and also have a sterilizing effect.
Take one or two spoons of citric acid, put it into a spray bottle, add water to dissolve it, and it will have the same spray cleaning effect as the scale cleaner we purchased.
Similarly, for faucet scale, stubborn scale can be sprayed multiple times. After letting it stand, the scale will gradually dissolve.
Of course, wipe it with fish scale cloth for better effect. It can also be used to remove scale from shower partitions, which is a headache for countless people.
Spray the citric acid solution evenly on the glass partition from top to bottom. After letting it fully react with the scale, use a scouring pad or a wiper to scrape or wipe with a little force, then rinse it with clean water and dry it with a fish-scale cloth, and you will get a brand new glass surface.
The scale on the mirror surface can also be cleaned directly by spraying it with citric acid solution.
Based on the above two cleaning difficulties, no matter which one it is, you only need to follow the simple chemical principle of acid-base neutralization.
Before cleaning the dirt, first determine the acidity and alkalinity of the dirt itself, and then use a cleaner with the opposite properties to get twice the result with half the effort.
There is no need to forcefully remember what to use to clean what, one principle will last a lifetime.
3. Mold is special, so you need to use mildew removal gel
In addition to oil stains and scale, there is another difficulty in cleaning the home, and that is mold. Mold is relatively special. Although it is weakly alkaline, it itself is a type of microbial growth. Pure acidity and alkalinity have no effect on it.
Therefore, it is recommended to use special mildew removal gel for targeted cleaning, which has obvious effects and saves effort.
It is effective for mold on the glass glue in the bathroom, mold on the tile walls, and mold in the rubber ring of the washing machine.
The operation method is very simple, apply it directly, wait for a few hours, the mildew spots will disappear, just wipe it clean with a rag.
4. Use static electricity skillfully to make dust disappear
Static electricity also has many applications in home life. Let’s talk about it from two aspects.
Forward operation
Forward operation uses static electricity, such as an electrostatic dust mop. Using it to clean the floor can absorb all dust and lint, which is very easy and labor-saving.
The gap electrostatic dust duster has the same principle. Use electrostatic dust removal paper on the dust duster head and use it in the gaps to easily absorb the dust.
The simple principle of static electricity actually reduces our daily cleaning burden. Including when we turn on the TV to clean it, the screen has an electrostatic effect.
The raised dust will be absorbed by the TV screen. Wipe it clean with a wet rag after cleaning, which will reduce the dust from adhering to other places again.
Reverse operation
If you want to prevent the furniture from static electricity and dust absorption, you can add some softener to the furniture to remove static electricity.
Static electricity is widely used in home life, including fresh air systems and central air conditioners, which all use the principle of electrostatic dust removal. Knowing this, we can reduce the workload of our daily cleaning housework.
5. Fresh vegetables can be pre-processed to make them easier to preserve.
Many people don’t know that fresh vegetables can be pre-processed to make them easier to preserve and save time in daily cooking.
Elementary version (green onion crisper)
The most elementary version is the pretreatment of chopped green onion and ginger foam. The green onions themselves take up space in the refrigerator and are easy to dry out indoors. They can be chopped , stored in a special chopped green onion crisper.
Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it for storage. When cooking, you can use it directly after taking it out. It is very convenient. Ginger foam is also stored in the same way.
The green onion crisper is double-layered, and the upper layer is hollow for drainage, making it very convenient for storage.
Advanced version (the meat is cut into fresh-keeping boxes)
The advanced version is to store and preserve meat. For young people, it is impossible to go there every day after work. When buying vegetables, you can wash and dry the meat you buy, cut it into the required pieces, put it in a crisper, label it and freeze it.
Before cooking, you can defrost it in advance or heat it in the microwave to defrost it. In short, it is easier than running to the supermarket every day.
High-end boards (vegetables blanched in water and put in fresh-keeping bags)
For high-end boards, you can also learn from Japanese housewives, buy fresh vegetables, blanch them and put them in fresh-keeping bags, which are also frozen save.
It lasts longer and is still fresh when you take it out. Stored in the refrigerator drawer, it can be placed vertically for easy daily access.
Master Edition (50°Cleaning Method)
Japanese household experts also have a 50°C warm water method for cleaning vegetables, which can effectively remove dirt on the surface of vegetables.
At the same time, vegetables can be stored longer and fresher, which is also very convenient for our daily consumption.
After learning this trick, the storage of various vegetables and meats at home will be clearer than before, and cooking will become easier.
6. The most suitable place for storing cleaning tools
The most suitable place for storing cleaning tools at home is the wall behind the bathroom door. It used to be just an idle corner, but now it has become a The tool storage wall solves the pain point of storing cleaning tools in minutes.
Especially the split-type cleaning tools, you can see them clearly on the wall, so you don’t have to look for the brush head everywhere. At the same time, things like folding washbasins and slippers can also be stored on the wall.
Wall storage can relieve the storage pressure at home and keep it from looking messy. It is a must-learn trick for students with small apartments.
7. If there is insufficient space at home, try vertical storage
Wall storage is actually a type of vertical storage. To be more detailed, vertical storage is used in many storage areas. point.
For example, in the dry area of ??the bathroom, wall hanging perforated boards are used to store daily necessities. This is to use the vertical space on the wall to make the washbasin countertop fresh and not crowded.
The shoe trays of the shoe cabinets are stored on the upper and lower levels. They also use vertical storage to make use of the upper space on the original partition, thereby increasing the storage capacity.
Multiple stackable sealed grain cans follow the same storage principle. They are stacked vertically and placed in the cabinet to reduce space usage and make it easier to identify and access.
8. 4000K light is closest to natural light
Many people are confused about the application of light. Here I will tell you that color temperature is the most important. 3500K is a soft and atmospheric light, suitable for use in Dining room, bedroom, etc.
Some scenes that require true restoration require 4000K, which is closer to natural light.
For example, a makeup mirror must be supplemented with a 4000K light source to make makeup look more natural and beautiful.
It is also recommended that kitchen lighting be at 4000K, so that you can have a more objective judgment on food, and you will not misjudge whether the food is raw or cooked because of the lighting.
However, indoor lighting should never be larger than 4000k. The larger it is, the colder and bluer it looks. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the old movies. The characters illuminated by fluorescent tubes with a very high color temperature (color temperature 6500K) look very weird.
This technique is convenient for us to judge and choose the color temperature of the light when decorating. We do not need to remember too much color temperature. Simply clarifying these two points is enough.
