Many think that cleaning facilities are not spoiled. However, it is not. We tell which of them can be stored for a long time, and which is better to change it.
1 Disinfectants
Disinfectants are sold in the form of sprays, aerosols and napkins. You can store them about 1-2 years. However, if they are at home for a long time, it is not worth counting on their antiseptic qualities. It is possible to understand that the funds are already ineffective by smell: it will begin to weaken.
2 Methods for washing
Bleach
Various bleaching can be used during the year from the production date indicated on the package. After opening, they gradually begin to decay and after 6 months they are not as effective as they were after purchase. You can use them, even if the shelf life is released: the tool does not become toxic, "however, you will need more to achieve the desired result.
Among the range of funds there is an exception - an oxygen bleach in the form of a powder. It does not have a shelf life, but you should not use it if the mixture was dying.
Fabric softener
Tasty smelling air conditioning can be stored for 2-3 years, if it is not opened. Open packaging will live much less: 6-12 months. At this stage, the tool begins to settle and loses its useful qualities. Therefore, the packaging is open periodically to shabby.Washing powder
Many packs indicate that the shelf life of the means is 9-12 months. However, it is most likely about storing in a closed pack. In the open powder it is better to spend faster: after six months he starts to deteriorate.
Capsules
Capsules for washing due to a polyvinyl shell can be stored longer than powder. But they are spoiled. Therefore, it is better not to use after 1.5 years of storage. Be careful and do not allow moisture to enter the container: it will ruin all the contents.
3 Tools for cleaning surfaces
We are talking about polishes for furniture and wiper. Both are better not to use for 2 years. Funds become ineffective, and the fragrance in the composition can be spoiled.
4 Folk remedies
Hydrogen peroxide
It is often used as a disinfector for plumbing and other things. However, it is possible to store it only in a cool dark place. If the conditions have been broken, the solution can lose its qualities earlier than promised by the manufacturer. The shelf life of the open fluid: from 6 months to 1 year - this data is typically written on the label. By its expiration, the solution will not harm neither surfaces nor a person, but the effectiveness will be much lower. In the closed container, hydrogen peroxide can be stored up to 3 years.Vinegar
Vinegar is the perfect tool, since it does not deteriorate and retains all its qualities.
Soda
It is believed that the food soda has no shelf life, so many stored it in kitchen cabinets for years. After 6-12 months in food, it is better not to add, use only for cleaning. In the closed packaging of the soda, 1.5 years can be stored.
