Let’s start with the most common problem: outdoor chairs! Often, when we reorganize the garden and terrace, we notice that they have yellowed over the winter, even though when we put them away they were spotless and spotless. Cold, humidity and sunlight cause yellowing of plastics, which can be easily resolved . Dampen a cloth in white wine vinegar and rub it over the surface, rubbing in the most compromised areas. In short, the yellowish patina will fade and your chairs will be pristine again.
Another very effective method, not only for these objects, but also for appliances, countertops, doors and furniture, involves the use of hydrogen peroxide. Again, it should be applied neat and left on for an hour. At the end of installation, simply rinse thoroughly and dry well. Very simple, right?
But let’s get to the real ace up the sleeve of every housewife who intends to renew the yellowed plastic: toothpaste! Although it may seem unthinkable, it will make a difference, as long as you use the whitening version.
Use an old, used toothbrush – not only is it easy to handle, but it can reach places that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Spread a little toothpaste, rub it over the entire surface, insisting where necessary. You should make circular movements exactly as you do when brushing your teeth. Leave it on for about twenty minutes, then dry with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove excess.
If a first layer is not enough, repeat, adding the tip of a teaspoon of baking soda. In this way, you will enhance the whitening power of the toothpaste. The slightly abrasive action of baking soda will penetrate between the polymers and turn your objects snow white.
Easy, right?
