Basic Cleaning Safety for Household Cleaning Products

When using any household cleaning products for the first time, don’t forget to read the label carefully and protect yourself while handling potentially corrosive or harmful chemicals. A few quick precautions will make the cleaning quick and easy.

Using All Purpose Cleaning Products to Clean Your House

• Removing dirt and buffing up glass is easy with a multi-purpose cleaner. Just spray on the product, then, wipe it off with a dry cloth. Make sure to rub windows thoroughly after cleaning, because any solution that isn’t removed will create smear marks on the glass.

• You can use your all purpose cleaner to get rid of marks on painted walls, but don’t rub too hard as they are a little abrasive and might take off a bit of paint.

• Most all purpose cleaners are not suitable for use on wooden surfaces, including wooden floors and furniture.ane mahogany
