Are you aware that light switches can be one of the dirtiest places in your home? When we are cleaning our home, we focus on the larger areas, like the floor, carpets, and bathrooms, and forget the light switches. Dirt, germs, and oils from our hands accumulate on these surfaces without us even realising it.
If you have any stainless steel surfaces in your home, you know how soul-destroying it is to try to get smudges and smears off. There are two reasons this could be happening to you. One, you are using a cleaning product on it. Two, you are probably not using your cloth properly.
You need no special cleaning products to clean stainless steel, a damp microfibre cloth is all that is required to lift out the dirt and smudges. The beauty of these cloths is that they remove germs without the harmful toxins found in chemical cleaning products.
