How to wash a vase for flowers without household chemicals?

Live bouquets will decorate any room, but when the flowers wither, the question arises as to how to wash the vases. If the ceramic vessels are sufficiently cleaned from the outside, then in the crystal and glass any internal contamination will be visible. An ugly gray sediment at the bottom, rings of lime and rust on the neck immediately give the composition a slovenly look. And if the water has not changed for several days, the smell of rotten liquid can kill the aroma of roses and lilies. Do not listen to the allegations that, like my vase, it will still be dim. Do not remove the beautiful vessel in the far corner, just make a little effort, and it will look as if it has just come out of the hands of the master.

Cleaning the crystal and glass

First, you need to wash the vase out on the outside so that you can see the remaining dirt when cleaning the inner surface. Crystal - a whimsical material, with improper care it becomes dim, loses its shine. Cleaning the glass is much easier, but if it is misused, it will also lose its decorative appearance.

Immediately put soda aside. A crystal vase needs to be washed in plain warm water. If the contamination is very severe, it is allowed to use a mild soap solution or a mild detergent. The corrugated surface at home will be well cleaned by a soft toothbrush. Wipe off the hazy products with a large salt. Take care that sharp grains do not scratch the surface. After washing, rinse the product with clean water with a little addition of vinegar or wipe with alcohol wipe, and the shine will recover.

Remember how to wash the dishes out of transparent materials so that it does not lose beauty. When washing crystal and decorative glass, observe several rules.

1. Put a soft towel on the bottom of the sink or basin so that the dishes do not break and are not scratched.
2. Pre-wipe products from dust with a dry cloth.
3. Avoid temperature changes. Do not wash the vases in hot or cold water, use a liquid at room temperature.
4. After washing, wipe the vessel thoroughly so that there are no traces of dried droplets.
5. If on the vase there is a painting or gilding, any detergent composition should be tried first on an inconspicuous area. If the colors are not dull, you can clean the entire product.

In some dishwashers there are modes for washing crystal. You can try to clean your vase if the material from which it is made does not contain lead, and when washing it does not assume a temperature difference. And yet, than to risk an expensive product, it is better to wash it by hand. Spend a few minutes and the vase again becomes clean and shiny.

Council

If the container is heavily soiled, put it for several hours in the water after cooking the potatoes, and then wash. The broth should be at room temperature.

Ceramic washing

Ceramic vases are desirable right after purchase for several hours in a cold water, and then rinse hot. After such a procedure, the glaze will become stronger. Contaminated blood vessels at home should be washed with hot water and soda. The recesses, the attachment points of the handles and other areas where the impurities are collected can be cleaned with a toothbrush or a cotton wool wound around the toothpick. After washing the product, rinse and dry with a dry cloth.

Porcelain and earthenware vases can not be washed in hot formulations. Use a warm soapy solution. If stains appear on the vase, add a little ammonia to the water and rub the dirty place.

For cleaning porcelain and faience, you can use:

• soda;
• salt;
• vinegar;
• cloth moistened with turpentine.

Cleaning the narrow-necked vessel

It's hardest to clean the inner surface of a vase with a narrow neck from the plaque. If you can still reach the dirty circles on the neck with your finger, a toothbrush or a cloth wound on a pencil, then it is very difficult to find a tool for washing the bottom. Yershik does not always reach hard-to-reach areas, and its rigid parts can scratch the vessel.

Do not use hard tools or a cleaning compound with abrasive effect. A glass vase with a narrow neck can be perfectly cleaned without touching its inner surface. Use one of the ways.

1. Pour vinegar vinegar into the vase and leave overnight.
2. Pour rice or buckwheat into the vessel to be cleaned, add soda and pour almost full volume of warm water. Vigorously shake the vase until the dirt is cleared.
3. Take the 8 tbsp.spoons of warm water, add 2 tbsp.spoons of mango and 3 tbsp.tablespoons of dry mustard. Rinse the composition with a vase from the inside, and then rinse with a solution of potassium permanganate( 0.5 teaspoon per 3 liters of water).
4. To wash the green coating from the flowers, mix 3 tbsp.spoons of rice or buckwheat with 2 tbsp.spoons of vodka, pour the composition inside the vessel and shake it. If the greens have not moved away, leave for a few minutes and shake the contents again vigorously.
5. Mix in divided parts the crushed eggshell and soda. Shake the vase several times, taking breaks for 10-15 minutes.

Be sure to check if the chosen tool will damage your vase. There are many kinds of crystal and ceramics, each material reacts in its own way to this or that remedy. Try to clean on an inconspicuous site and, if nothing bad has happened, treat the entire vessel. When the entire plaque is cleaned, rinse the vase well and it will look like new.

A vase made of any material can be cleaned at home so that no traces of salts or green deposits remain. Remember that the most magnificent bouquet in dirty dishes will lose almost all its charm. The composition should be a single: washed to shine a tall vessel, flowers, accessories. If you take care of glass, crystal or ceramics, the dishes will last a long time and will not lose an attractive look for many years.
