Diwali is just around the corner and it is a sign that you better start with your house cleaning methods all over again. There are different chemicals available in the market, but those might not always be the most suitable option to venture into. If there is one product that people keep on using more for cleaning purposes then that is kerosene. 

In developing countries, kerosene is always advocated as a clean alternative and used for cleaning wooden furniture. In a country like India, where kerosene has been pushed into the market with a lot of government subsidies, people often get mistaken that this is a super-cleaner.  Well, this is not a good shot if you want to maintain the longevity of your belongings, especially decorative and furnishing items.

So many people are using kerosene for cleaning wardrobes, beds, false ceilings, cupboards and more. It is not just harmful to the person using it, but also harmful to the things to which it has been applied. It does more harm than good to the wooden or composite material of the furniture. 

Using an all-natural cleaner is a good shot in this regard. You have lemon, vinegar, baking soda and all the natural ingredients, which will not just cover your cleaning purpose but will ensure a healthy surrounding. Even your furniture won’t erode easily and you get to sustain its new look for a long time.

Here, you will come to learn more about ways to clean your furniture for the upcoming Deepavali. So, let’s get straight to the point.

Try de-cluttering your space first:

Eliminating clutter from home is the first step of cleaning with Diwali knocking at your door. You need to get rid of the things that you no longer feel necessary. Place them out in separate boxes and you can either throw them away or donate them. Your home might look dirty and disorganized if you have extra things lying around that you don’t need any longer.


The perfect mix of vinegar and lemon:

It is true that you want the furniture to not just look clean but also smell nice. 

Well, vinegar is not just used for cooking but as one handy cleansing tool that most people are unaware of. Right from cleaning carpets to bathrooms, just a small quantity can go a long way. It adds that extra shine to the items. Use a wet cloth with the vinegar and you are off to a great start.

 

 

You can also achieve a better result by adding a dash of vinegar or lemon together. 

  • Mix lemon and vinegar together and then pour that blend into a spraying bottle.
  • Sprinkle that mixture into rooms and then the lovely aroma won’t take much time to fill up the entire room.

  • Wooden items are best cleaned with the help of olive oil.
  • Add a few drops of olive oil to furniture in your house and apply it evenly.
  • After that, wipe the products using a clean cloth after letting them soak for 5 minutes.
  • The gleam and shine of the products will add that new flair to the festive season!
