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.
Light switches: here’s how to clean them
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.
