The correct way to use a scouring pad

Scouring pads are widely loved by housewives and cleaners because of their soft material, strong water absorption and durability. They are a good helper for home cleaning.

The following is the correct way to use scouring pads:

Basic usage method:

Soaking and moistening:

Before use, soak the scouring pad in water to allow it to quickly absorb water and prepare for cleaning. Gently wring out the scouring pad to avoid it being too wet, so as to avoid leaving water stains during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning effect.

Applying detergent:

Apply an appropriate amount of detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, toothpaste or baking soda, on the wet scouring pad. Gently rub the scouring pad to fully blend the detergent and the scouring pad.

Wiping and cleaning:

Choose the appropriate wiping force and method according to the surface material and degree of stains of the items to be cleaned.

For large areas of dirt, hold the entire scouring pad with your palm, push and pull back and forth to wipe, and sweep the dirt evenly with force. For local stubborn stains, you can use your fingers to hold the scouring pad to increase the wiping force and concentrate your efforts to overcome the problem. For small pieces of dirt in pits and corners, you can fold the scouring pad into a cone and use its pointed cone to wipe deep into the dirt to ensure that no corners are missed.

Flip and replace:

During the wiping process, if you find that one side of the scouring pad has become dirty or worn, you can turn it over to the other side and continue to use it.

If both sides have been used up or there are obvious damage, residue, odor, etc., you should replace the new scouring pad in time to ensure the cleaning effect.

Special uses and methods：

Kitchen cleaning:

Directly wet the scouring pad with water and gently wipe the oil and food residue on the dishes and pots.

For glassware, just use a wet scouring pad to wipe gently, avoid using rough cloth or scratching the surface to avoid scratches. For stainless steel products, you can drop a few drops of special detergent or white vinegar on the scouring pad, and then wipe along the grain, which can not only remove stains but also keep the surface bright and new.

Furniture and floor cleaning:

For wooden furniture, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp scouring pad, which can not only remove dust but also protect the wood from damage.

For the floor, you can first use a vacuum cleaner or broom to remove debris, then wipe along the grain of the floor with a damp scouring pad, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth to keep the floor clean and free of water stains.

Maintenance and care：

Cleaning and drying:

After use, the scouring pad should be cleaned in time to remove residual dirt and detergent.

Let the cleaned scouring pad drip and dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperature baking to maintain its fiber elasticity and dense pores.

Deep cleaning and disinfection:

For frequently used scouring pads, it is recommended to perform deep cleaning once a week. It can be soaked in boiling water or heated and disinfected in a microwave oven to kill bacteria and keep it hygienic.

In summary, the correct use of scouring pads can greatly improve cleaning efficiency and quality, while extending its service life. In daily life, the role of scouring pads can be fully utilized to make life neater and better.
