We will now explain to you how to clean the shower and even other surfaces in the bathroom with potatoes.
Cleaning hacks for home: Clean the shower without chemicals
Quite apart from the fact that cleaning agents are often aggressive and definitely harmful, they often cost you a lot of money, at least in the long run. The good old tuber is without question the better option, isn't it? But you can't just do thatGlass shower screen and shower doorclean with it, but also other dirty areas in the house. We first explain how to use it to clean the glass wall in the shower and then go into other surfaces.
Only use potatoes that are no longer suitable for consumption. After all, we don’t want to waste food! Because those that alreadygerminate strongly, should no longer be eaten, these are well suited, for example.
Clean the shower glass with potatoes
First, rinse the shower walls and door well with water, paying particular attention to soap and shampoo residue. These should be removed in advance so that the potato can work well afterwards. The actual task of the potato tuber is not cleaning. Instead, a protective effect is created, i.e. an impregnation, so that the surfaces no longer become dirty so quickly in the future.
- Cut the potato in half (or into several thicker slices).
- Rub the cut side on the glass surfaces and spread the potato juice everywhere.
- Let the remedy work.
- Rinse the walls with clean water.
What happens? As you know, potatoes contain starch. Thisforms a protective filmon the rubbed surface, making it harder for dirt to stick afterwards. The result is that the glass remains stain-free for a longer period of time. However, keep in mind that this impregnation does not last too long and the process should be repeated soon.
