When you buy Windex, you likely assume it will be used for exactly one purpose: cleaning windows. But did you know that you can actually use Windex to clean several other items around your house as well? Not only that, but it can help with tasks other than just cleaning!
So next time you need to clean, polish or move stuff in your house, don't bother with sponges, buckets of soapy water or expensive cleaners. Just grab your bottle of Windex and take care of several jobs with ease.
1. Cleaning burnt pots
If you do a lot of cooking, you've probably noticed that some of your pots end up burnt on the bottom. You could soak them in soapy water for a few hours and then scrub until they're clean. Or you could go with the easier option. Spray some Windex over the burnt area and then sprinkle a thick layer of baking soda on top. Let it sit overnight and in the morning simply wipe it off with a paper towel. The burnt spots will be gone and the pot will shine like new.
2. Moving furniture
Some furniture is too heavy to move without several extra people there to help. But if you need to move something a short distance on a hardwood floor, you can use Windex to give you an extra hand. Spray the Windex generously across the area in front of the furniture you're moving and the item will easily slide across the floor.
3. Polishing jewelry
Have you noticed that your favorite necklace or bracelet is starting to look a little grimy? You could pay to have it professionally cleaned, but there is a cheaper solution. Place your jewelry in a bowl and pour in enough Windex to completely cover it. Let it sit for about a minute before you take the jewelry back out. Dip a toothbrush into the Windex and scrub all of the places where dirt could hide. Finish by quickly dipping the jewelry into the Windex again and then setting it on a paper towel until it's dry.
4. Shining shoes
If you have a pair of patent leather shoes, you probably like to keep them looking shiny and new. But shoe polish can be expensive, so you might be interested in an alternative. Spray Windex on your shoes and rub them with a soft, clean cloth. This will remove dirt and scuff marks while also leaving your shoes with a nice shine.
5. Removing carpet stains
Most people probably have a certain schedule for when they shampoo their carpets. But what if you spill something in the meantime and end up with a big stain? Just grab a bottle of Windex, spray it over the stain, lay an old t-shirt over the stain and iron the t-shirt. When you lift up the shirt, the stain will be gone.
