You don’t have to be a germaphobe to spend a considerable amount of time a day, a week, or a month on cleaning around the home. In fact, on average, people spend about 23 hours a month on cleaning chores and housework. Time is of the essence for anything we do, and the thought we lose almost a whole day in one month on dusting, washing, and vacuuming can be a shocking revelation – that’s practically a day of our lives we’re not getting back.
I’m not trying to imply we shouldn’t keep out homes squeaky clean or incentivising we leave things as they are, but rather that there are better solutions to doing all the grease work yourself. If you want to do it right with less time wasted, the key is to work smarter and not harder. One cleaning agent that’s the ideal ally in just about any cleaning and stain removal issue is the De Solvit multipurpose citrus-based solvent perfect for application on a range of surfaces.
From metals and woods to ceramics, plastic, tiles, and even some fabrics, it’s a product that has your back for all sorts of cleaning projects, whether it’s effortlessly removing sticky labels, adhesives, tapes, gum, tar, wax, or paint, grease, dirt, and grime. It can even be of assistance with cleaning up your shoes, driveway, equipment, or components of equipment. Not surprisingly, it’s the trusted ally in industrial, office, commercial, automotive, and boating settings too.
How Do You Use Desolvit?
With the non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-hazardous ingredients used for the creation of De Solvit we might as well say this product is a match made in heaven for just about any cleaning task you need to take care of. All this without worrying about how harsh it’s going to be on your delicate hands, or the environment for that matter.
Still, despite the range of possibilities, it takes knowing how to properly use it around the house to count on the best outcome. For that, it’s best to always read up the instructions online prior to buying a certain product to make sure it’s the perfect fit. Also, don’t forget to follow the instructions of each and every Desolvit product before the application to be sure you’re using it properly.
To be on the safe side, even though it’s a gentle solution, it’s advisable to always do a little test on a small piece of the area where you intend to clean to see if there might be any unwanted damage. Avoid diluting the product in water because it would render it ineffective and create a white sludge. Lastly, avoid using it on delicate materials such as silk, suede, leather, and unstained wood if you don’t want to end up creating stains that won’t go away.
In the Kitchen
Since it’s a cleaning agent, you might have your reservations regarding its safety to be used around food, and rightfully so. But, rest assured this product has the HACCP Australia certification which gives it the green light for use in food manufacturing facilities, which includes commercial kitchen areas like those of restaurants and cafés, as much as residential kitchens.
Areas where you can apply the handy De-solv-it solution are table-tops, countertops, cookers and stove-tops even if they’re induction, inside and outside the fridge, all over the sinks, tapware, kitchenware, and cabinets. The application is pretty straightforward: add a bit of the cleaner on the designated area, and let it work for a while. The tougher the stain, the more time you should leave it on. Then, wipe off with a clean cloth or paper tissue. If you added too much of the cleaner, wipe with a cloth with warm soapy water.
In the Bathroom
For many, this is the least favourite room in the home when it comes to cleaning. However, when you have a Desolv it to back you up, it all turns into a piece of cake considering this agent can put an end to harsh stains on the bathtub, shower cubicle and shower screen, drain, sink, tiles, and even the toilet. The instructions about proper use aren’t different from those for use in the kitchen.
In the Laundry Room
Yes, you read this right. The solution is just as fit for stain removal from your precious clothes, so stubborn greasy food spots, or worse, red wine drops, will no longer be an issue. Simply add a nice amount of the cleaner over the stain to fully cover it, wait for it to work its magic for about 10 minutes (depending on the stubbornness of the stain), and wash up as you usually wash the garments.
With sticky labels, chewing gum, plaster or tack on your shoes, add the solution, wait for a few minutes, and then scrape and wipe. As mentioned, avoid using it with apparel and footwear that has silk, suede and leather elements.
In the Living Room
While this room is less likely to undergo tough stains, there are bigger risks if you share the home with children or pets. Stains on your precious carpet, upholstery of your sofa or armchairs, and even crayons on your pristine white walls could be a common sight. Don’t sweat it when they appear, just grab your Desolvit and prepare to be amazed.
A word of advice, though, is to be more careful when cleaning the carpet or walls, do the test first, and wait to see if you can apply more with ease. Some carpets with adhesives and underlay may be somewhat sensitive, so it’s best not to apply it directly but rather to dab a bit of it on the spot with a clean cloth.
