Ever wonder how these myths came about or if any of them are true? Well I did some research and some testing and found out that some of these myths are not true. All of my research has come from many sites and trying some of these myths out.
As I said earlier I did not come up with these myself but I have attached links to the sources that I found the information from below.
Question: Is Bleach a Great Choice As a Cleaner?
The heavy scent of bleach in the air must mean that something is really clean. After all bleach is the ultimate cleaner...right? Not so fast. Bleach may be great at a lot of things, but cleaning isn't really one of them.
Answer: Bleach is a disinfectant and not a cleaner. Bleach does a fantastic job of killing germs. It removes tough stains. But bleach doesn't really clean dirt and residue from surfaces. To do that, you'd need to scrub and rinse surfaces. For many household cleaning jobs, bleach just isn't the right cleaning solution. It has heavy fumes that can make you sick. Contact with bleach on your skin is irritating and can be very harmful. Mixing it with many other cleaners can give you toxic results. Bleach can also damage surfaces and remove color.
Bleach is a good disinfectant and stain remover but not a great general cleanser.
Does Carpet Cleaning shrink your carpet?
It's everyone's worse nightmare. You hire someone to clean your carpet and when they're done it's shrunk into a smaller pile. I've dreamed that dream before, and the carpet technician in my dream didn't understand why I was upset. In reality though, this isn't usually a concern in our modern day. Find out why.
Answer: When carpets were made of lots of natural fibers, shrinking was a major concern. Still, most professionals new how to handle all types of carpets. Today most carpets are made of synthetic materials, reducing the risk of shrinking to almost nothing. It's always a good idea to know your carpet type and the manufacturer's instructions for it. One thing that could cause minimal shrinkage would be an overly wet carpet after your technician is finished cleaning. Reputable companies and technicians don't allow this to happen. Even so, it's a good idea to check your carpet's wetness before the tech leaves your home. Express concerns if you have them. And be sure to hire a reputable company to clean your carpets.
For most carpets, the risk of shrinking is almost nothing. Hiring a reputable company makes all the difference in your satisfaction, though.
Ring around the inside of the toilet!
Yes I know many people have asked me over the years how do I get rid of this ring inside my toilet. It is not easy to get rid of if you have just left it. You say to your self but the toilet gets cleaned every week or every 2 weeks how is it getting dirty? Technically the toilet is not dirty this ring can be caused by a few things. These can be either Hard water or Rust.
There are a few ways we can use to try and remove the stain. Remember that if the stain is dark and set in you might not be able to get the stain completely gone. I will show you a few eco friendly ways to clean this and a few non eco friendly ways to do this.
Pour a can of Coca-Cola( believe it or not but this has worked) in the toilet bowl and leave it overnight. Diet Coke doesn't have the same effect so make sure it's regular Coca-Cola. In the morning, the toilet should require very little scrubbing for the stain to disappear.
Put on rubber gloves and dip a dampened pumice stone in baking soda and gently scrub the stains from the toilet. The baking soda provides extra abrasiveness and may not be necessary. You can try using just the pumice stone by itself first and add the baking soda for particularly stubborn areas. Be careful not to scrub too hard, the pumice stone is so effective it may accidentally scratch the porcelain.
Drop a few denture tablets, like Efferdent, into the toilet bowl and allow them to soak for thirty minutes to loosen the stains. Scrub the toilet with a toilet brush to remove any residual stain.
White distilled vinegar is generally recommended and is usually sprayed or poured directly into the toilet and allowed to sit for several hours before scrubbing.
Tip: Pouring a cup of white vinegar in the toilet and allowing it to sit in the bowl overnight will help to prevent stains in the future.
There is a large selection of commercial toilet bowl cleansers currently available, including acidic and chlorine-based solutions designed just to treat toilet bowl rings. Acidic cleansers might remove hard water rings but can include strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, that may require dilution before use. Chlorine-based cleaners, on the other hand, include items like bleach that work to remove mildew rings and may whiten other stains. Not only will you need to compare between brands, however, you will also have to take your pick of powdered or liquid cleaners. Powders are apt to provide gentle abrasion, while liquids can cling above and below the water line for longer direct contact on the toilet ring.
