You know that familiar blue window cleanser that we all grew up using? Well, it can do lot more than just clean windows. Whether you're looking to bust stains or zap bugs, Windex might just be the go-to tool for your household chore. By Donna Boyle Schwartz , BobVila.com
Ketchup, tomato sauce, and red wine are the scourge of
many shirts. As long as
you're not dealing with delicate silk fabrics, lightly
spray the stain with Windex and let sit for 15 minutes. Blot with a clean
cloth, rinse with cold water, and wash as recommended. For best results, use
the uncolored version of Windex.Synthetic microfiber is soft, durable, and attractive…but can be difficult to keep clean. Even water can leave unsightly spots on microfiber sofas! But a spritz of Windex can work wonders. Simply spray the surface lightly—careful not to soak the fibers—then brush very gently with a soft-bristled scrub brush, working in the same direction. Tough stains might require a second application.
Children’s toys and play sets can get downright disgusting over time, with accumulated food messes, dirt, and the occasional spit-up. Give the items a quick mist with Windex, wipe each piece thoroughly, and rinse with plain water.
Pests bugging you? Spray a bit of Windex on them
and they'll curl up and die within minutes. Don’t try this on bees or wasps,
however—it doesn’t work instantly, and you might get stung. And, you might also
try using it as an insect repellent: spray along the edges of a door or window
to keep bugs away.
