Although we can find a multitude of commercial products in the supermarket to effectively clean our home, at home we can also use home remedies to leave any area spotless. Recently we were able to tell you how to effectively clean your blinds and in this article let’s focus on the shuttersan element that is not as widespread as blinds, but is also found in many homes.
Shutters help protect the interior of our home from sunlight and also rain. The most common thing is to have blinds, being the most widespread invention in Spain (and one that attracts foreigners so much), although in rural areas we can also see homes that use shutters that are added to the outside of the windows. These shutters get very dirty as they are in direct contact with the outside. For this reason, we are going to teach you how to clean them with home remedies.
This is how easy you can clean the shutters of your house
Shutters can be made of different materials. Depending on the material with which they are built, we must use different methods. Those that are made of anodized materials and PVC, we can use a solution that consists of warm water, a little white vinegar and a couple of drops of dish soap.
When we have mixed the solution, we add it to a spray bottle and We spray the mixture over the entire surface of the shutters. Afterwards, we wait a little for it to take effect and then with a microfiber cloth we clean the entire area. We will check that all the dirt will be removed from the surface easily.
For shutters that are made of aluminum, it is best to use a mixture of warm water and neutral soap such as Marseille soapa component that will be of great effect to us in this situation.
Finally, if your shutters are made of wood, the best thing you can do to avoid damaging this delicate material is to mix a solution of dish soap and warm water. It is important that in this case we dry the entire surface well with a clean, dry cloth, since there is a risk that the wood will absorb mold caused by humidity and deteriorate our shutters.
With these little tips you will leave your shutters impeccable. If you wish, in other articles we teach you how to clean window and door tracks, how to clean the dishwasher, the sticky plastic on your home appliances, and much more.
