I dunno what I've done, I just lost the previous post. He're I'm re-posting my house cleaning progress again. (Jangan marah, ya :)
Last weekend, I've decided to take a day off from work to sort out my own stuff. One of the things I'm yet to start is cleaning our new house. After the paint job done by Hans (our part time paint guy), he left paint stains everywhere around the floor lace. So hubby and I started cleaning the lace around Bedroom 2, at upstairs. While chatting, I decided to clean the switches. Without realizing the effect of my hard scrubbing, my hubby was totally amazed with the result.
Look at my hardworking hubby concentrating on his floor lace scrapping and scrubbing.
I've used a simple cleaning solution with these items: Flat scrapper, scrub pad, cleaning towel, AMWAY L.O.C. multi-purpose cleaner -- my best cleaning buddy. Love using it, since it's gentle to my sensitive skin, and won't cause skin irritation. I pressed 2 droplets into a pail with half water full and did my cleaning for the next 4 hours.
This is how I did it. Photos were self taken using my Sony Ericsson K530i.
Wipe clean the surface of the switch and start scrapping the paint stain on the surface. Some paint stains are freshly done by Hans, but when I started scrapping harder, the old paint stains surfaced.
At some stage, stubborn stains were so difficult to remove. I had to use all my finger strength to scrub until it look clean and shiny.
Here's how one of the switches looked like: Dirty, old-looking, with stubborn paint stain. A once cleaning dummy (of me) never thought that we could save ourselves some bucks from replacing the switches until I cleaned them.
Tadaa! The secret of reviving the dirty old-looking switch -- Is to use the items I've just mentioned and scrub with love and patiently.
Talking about patience, my hubby has since assigned me to clean the rest of existing switches, the total 28 nos. So far 19 were scrubbed, 8 more switches to go. Yeay! :)
p/s: It's very tiring, but it's worth the efforts! Every cleaning comes with a good meal as a reward. :)
