The ball is over: how to put an apartment in order after New Year’s Eve

When the last salad is finished and the guests have left, you have to face the harsh reality. Even yesterday, the apartment that shone with garlands and tinsel today opens up a depressing sight. Here and there are not the most pleasant surprises. How to quickly get rid of them and return the home to an exemplary appearance? Professional secrets are shared by experts of the Scotch-Brite®brand.

Wax tears

Did you find drops of congealed candle wax on the carpet? It doesn’t matter. First of all, scrape off as much wax as possible with the blunt side of the knife. Cover the stain with a Scotch-Brite ® napkin in a roll and start ironing with the iron in the weakest mode. Continue until the wax is absorbed into the napkin. If the stain is not completely gone, moisten another cloth in alcohol and rub it thoroughly. Just try not to soak the carpet surface too much. Then cover the stain with a clean, dry cloth, put something heavy on top, and leave the stain to dry.

Wine stains on the starched tablecloth… What kind of friendly feast is complete without them? Here everything is decided by speed. Immediately “collect” the spilled wine with ordinary paper napkins. Then place a Scotch-Brite ® Optima absorbent cloth on top and press down with a dish or jug. This napkin is able to absorb moisture 10 times its own weight. When the guests leave, soak the tablecloth with the stain in a special solution. It is prepared based on the proportion of 1 tsp of hydrogen peroxide (or citric acid) per 200 ml of water. After half an hour, you can wash the tablecloth with ordinary powder.

Fragile purity

Often, corrosive traces of red wine remain on the glasses themselves. They will have to be washed manually and without any “chemistry”, especially if it is crystal. Prepare a basin of warm water and pour in the juice of half a lemon or a little table vinegar. And you can also sprinkle the glasses inside with mustard powder. Use a universal Scotch-Brite®sponge to make sure that the crystal doesn’t leave a single scratch and sparkles. It gently cleanses even fragile surfaces, leaving no streaks. Dry the glasses completely on a towel, legs up, and then hold them over a pot of boiling water for a while.

Solo on spoons

Cutlery also requires gentle handling. Here we will need a regular toothpaste and a Scotch-Brite® “Delicate” sponge for delicate cleaning. Thanks to the special material, this sponge easily removes any dirt and at the same time collects excess moisture. Apply a little paste to the sponge, wipe the cutlery well and leave for 5 minutes. Rinse them in warm water and wipe them again with a dry, clean sponge. If your kit is made of silver or nickel silver, choose a paste without abrasive components, so as not to accidentally damage the sensitive surface.

Peeling for the baking sheet

It happens that after cooking a festive dinner, the baking sheet is not recognized. The longer you delay cleaning it, the more time and effort it will take. Mix in equal proportions of soda, salt and coffee grounds, pour in a little warm water to make a thick paste. We clean the entire surface of the baking sheet with it, paying special attention to heavily contaminated areas. To make sure that the product does not leave scratches, rub it with a soft universal sponge Scotch-Brite® for dishes. The delicate cleaning layer effectively removes any dirt and, at the same time, does not damage the surface at all.

Secrets at the table

For sure, on New Year’s Eve, the wooden table, which has endured no change of festive dishes, was pretty much hit. It’s easier than it looks to get it right. Mix the baking soda and any vegetable oil in a ratio of 2:1. The resulting thick mass is gently rubbed into the surface of the table, cleaning the greasy spots. Leave the composition for 15 minutes and remove with a Scotch-Brite® Ultra absorbent cloth. It instantly absorbs any liquids that exceed its own weight by 20 times. At the same time, the table surface remains perfectly clean, dry and lint-free.

A sofa with a clean reputation

Stains on the sofa or chair are not the holiday memories you want to keep. Traces of greasy sauce can be removed as follows. Cover the stain with salt for 10 minutes, then clean with dish detergent and let it dry. A splash of champagne will help remove the solution from the ammonia and table vinegar in equal proportions. Traces of lipstick will disappear from the upholstery after treatment with ethyl alcohol or acetone. In all the cases described above, use a Scotch-Brite® microfibre kitchen cloth to gently wipe dirty surfaces. It perfectly removes complex stains, including those from jam, ketchup and chocolate.

In the footsteps of the holiday

What should I do if there are traces of adhesive tape on the windows or mirrors, on which snowflakes and other decor were attached? Lubricate them with a cotton pad with any essential oil and leave for 5 minutes. After that, the tape should move away without much effort. If it does not respond, treat the contaminated area with white alcohol or gasoline. Be careful. Do this with the window open or wearing a protective mask. Finally, wash the glass surface with a Scotch-Brite®microwave cloth. It will remove all greasy stains, finger marks and stains. And your windows will shine again with dazzling cleanliness.

Your New Year’s Eve party was visited by children with an unwise craving for creativity? Be sure to check the wallpaper for new patterns. The Scotch-Brite®melamine sponge will help you to reduce the author’s art faster and more reliably. It perfectly removes traces of marker and ink from walls and floors. At the same time, no additional cleaning agents are required. The sponge works on the principle of a pencil eraser. But remember, this is a fairly powerful abrasive. Therefore, if you have non-woven wallpaper, first try to clean a small and not too noticeable area of the wall.

And although all sorts of miracles will happen in the New Year, the apartment will not clean itself after a noisy holiday. This means that the creation of this small miracle will have to be taken into your own hands. Take the Scotch-Brite ® assistants as a companion. These are the most irreplaceable, high-quality and proven practical washing sponges and wipes. They will easily bring to light any contamination and help to return your beloved home to a fabulous appearance.
