Dirty light switch, make it like new: it should be cleaned like this

There is a way to make the light switch shiny and free of dirt again. Here’s how to make it look like new.

During our day, we find ourselves many times having to turn the lights on and off in our homes without realizing that our hands are not completely clean and therefore we are creating a problem with this gadget.

Indeed, over time, germs and bacteria settle on the  switch  and stains form because of debris from grease, fingerprints and anything else that can be created.

Therefore, to ensure that  bacteria  do not proliferate and that our  switch  works perfectly without accumulation of  dust  or anything else that could damage it and compromise its operation, there are foolproof methods.

These go back to the famous advice of grandmothers who most of the time, with simple ingredients that are easily found at home, are more effective than cleaning products on the market.

The first method is to clean the switches using a  potato. It may seem strange but this tuber is very effective in making our  switches  as crisp and clean as if they were new.

This is possible thanks to the presence of  potato starch  , which tends to eliminate traces of fat that could have been released due to chapped hands or the presence of leftover snacks.

To use it, simply cut it in half and rub it directly against the  switches,  while in the most insidious parts use a little cotton soaked in potato juice and pass it over the  switch  .

Another method is to use  cleaning milk  or  baking soda  by mixing it with water to form a paste which is applied to the switches to make them white and shiny.

Likewise,  white vinegar  can also be an excellent ally for removing dirt and grease from our switches and also for eliminating bacteria and germs that could have nestled there.
