Clean furniture the right way

Sparkling furniture makes for an impressive home. Make sure you use the right cleaning and maintenance methods for different kinds of furniture items.

we have listed ways to ensure that everything from your dressers, tables, couches, chairs to bookcases look squeaky clean all year round:

Painted furniture: Painted furniture is the easiest to clean. On a weekly basis, dust or wipe it clean with a cloth dampened with water. Be sure not to leave water spots on the surface as they can leave permanent marks. Add an oil finish for the best possible protection.

Wooden furniture: Wooden furniture needs to be cleaned with extra care. For everyday cleaning, use a soft and dry piece of cloth to dust such pieces. Special cleaning will involve the use of a lint-free cloth to polish the furniture on a regular basis. To avoid polish smudges, always use the same type of polish, oil-based or wax-based, throughout. Wipe in the direction of the grain of the wood whenever possible. When it is time to remove the built-up wax, use either mineral spirits or synthetic turpentine with a soft, lint-free cloth. Clean the entire piece of furniture with the polish and not just the area that's soiled.

Leather furniture: Leather is one material that can crack easily so keep it away from heat or direct sunlight. Cleaning it is relatively easy if done regularly. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth and dust the furniture daily. If there are excessive marks, make a solution with one-fourth cup white vinegar and half cup water. Dip a soft cloth in this solution and clean the furniture. Follow this with a wash of leather saddle soap. Afterwards, rub the furniture with a dry soft cloth.

Wicker and cane furniture: Dust regularly and vacuum often to get rid of the grime settled in the cracks of the finishes. When exposed to intense sunlight, the natural fibres of wicker, cane and rush furniture tend to dry out. In such conditions, place the piece of furniture in a bathtub full of warm water or spray with a hose outside. This will help your chairs, stools and tables to retain their natural fibre setting.

Upholstered furniture: Keep upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight as most fabrics tend to fade. Vacuum the surfaces weekly. Flip cushions and pillows regularly so both sides wear out evenly.

remove grease stains from your clothes

Whether the stains on the clothes are fresh or set-in, there are several different ways to get rid of them.

* Pour a small amount of baby powder all over the fresh grease stains. The baby powder is fine and it will fill in the crevices between the fibers, and absorb the grease. Leave the baby power on for 10-15 minutes, and brush it off. If the grease is still faintly visible, toss it in the washing machine under cold water.

* Rub some chalk on it as the fine powder easily absorbs the grease and makes it easy to remove. Fill in your grease stain with plain white chalk, or scrape some of the powder over the stain. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes and then rub it off.

* Cover it up with cornstarch. It works well on fresh grease and oil stains. Pour a small amount of cornstarch on the stain and allow it to set for a quarter of an hour. You can brush it off afterwards, or leave it on and put it in the washing machine.

* Shampoo is used for getting the natural oils and grease out of your hair and scalp, so why not use the same process on your clothing? Pour shampoo directly on to the stain, and use a cloth to vigorously rub it in. Let it set for 10-15 minutes, and then wash it as you would regularly in the washing machine.

* If you're having trouble scrubbing out an oil stain, you can try aloe vera gel on it. Soak your clothing in cool water, and then pour aloe vera gel on to the stain. Rub the gel into the stained spot for a few minutes, and then wash the clothes with cold water.

* Spray on some hair spray. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes, and then put it in the washing machine for a regular wash.
