Nowadays a lot of people are wearing facemasks for obvious reasons. But oftentimes they get really dirty and in today’s article, I will be showing you three ways to clean a facemask.

You might be wondering why would anyone clean a face mask if you can just buy a bunch of disposable ones. Well while disposable masks might be cheap, it is still better to just have a few masks that can just be washed anytime.

Washing machine

This is a very simple but effective way of cleaning a face mask. All you have to do is place the face mask inside of the washer with other clothes. After washing it place the face mask inside the dryer or air dry it.

Soak in soap and water

Get a small bucket of warm water and add your favorite laundry detergent to it. Then place the facemask inside the water and let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour. After that rinse the mask and let it air dry.

Wash it under running water

Another quick way to clean a face mask is to wash it under running water whether it’s this art in the kitchen or bathroom sink. To wash your facemask under running water you first need to squirt a few drops of dish soap onto it and then place it under the warm running water. Make sure to air dry the mask after washing it.

How to get grease out of clothes

Ever had an annoying grease stain on your shirt or pants? Of course, you have, almost everybody has had a grease or oil stain on their clothes, and it’s pretty annoying to deal with. There are many methods on how to get grease stains out of clothes but only a few of them really works. Today I am going to show you how to get grease out of your clothes using the best methods.

Baking soda

If you know anything about cleaning you’ll not be surprised that baking soda is great at removing tough stains. So it makes sense that baking soda can remove grease and oil stains as well.

To remove grease stains from your clothes with baking soda you first need to get a small dish of warm water. Then sprinkle some of the baking soda onto the grease stain. Dip a toothbrush into the warm water and rub it all over the baking soda. Make sure to rub the baking soda all over the grease stains. Keep doing this until the stain starts to disappear, then place the clothes in the washer.

Dish soap

This is another great way of removing grease stains from any clothing. The best dish soap that’s good for this is Dawn. Dawn is excellent at removing grease from almost anything. There are two ways in which you can use dawn dish soap to remove grease from your clothes, they are both similar but somewhat different.

To get rid of grease out of your clothes using dish soap you need to do the following:

1. Squirt a few drops of dish soap onto the greasy area of the garment and use your fingers to rub it in.
2. Then use a wet toothbrush to gently scrub the grease out of the garment.
3. After doing this you should rinse and place the shirt inside the washing machine.
4. (optional) or you can get a large bucket of warm water and add your favorite laundry detergent to it.
5. Then place the garment into the bucket of water and let it soak for 1-2 hours.
6. After doing that you should place it in the dryer.

Wd-40

While I don’t believe that wd-40 will work as best as the other methods on this list I still do believe that you should at least try it.

To get rid of grease or oil stains using wd-40 you need to spray the grease with wd-40 and use a damp cloth to rub the stained area. Then place the clothing into the washer. If the garment still has the grease stain on it then maybe you should try a different method that’s on this list.

Another issue with using wd-40 on clothes is that while it will get rid of the grease stains, you’ll still have the wd-40 residue on the clothes.

Salt and stain remover

This might be the weirdest method in this article but you should definitely try it because it might be the most effective. For this method what you want to do is to dampen the grease/oil-stained area of the clothes with water and then sprinkle salt all over the stained area. Let the salt absorb the grease for around 3-5 minutes. Then spray the grease with this stain remover. After spraying the garment, you should place it in the washer and let it wash with the warmest water option.

Doing this will remove all the grease stains that were on the garment.

Conclusion

While I do believe that all of these methods will definitely get rid of grease stains, I still recommend only trying the wd-40 method last as the rest are way more effective.

Cleaning a monitor is way easier than you might think. However, there are some things you need to know and do before cleaning your monitor, especially the screen. But that’s why I’m here, in today’s article I will be showing you how to clean your monitor without damaging it.

Precautions before cleaning your monitor

When cleaning your monitor be sure not to use paper towels, pads, cloth towels, or anything rough, because using them on the monitor might scratch it. I also think it’s best to avoid using water and vinegar as well.

When cleaning a monitor you should use a microfiber cloth and a screen cleaner. Using a microfiber cloth instead of a regular one will clean your monitor screen without leaving behind any thread residue and scratches.

How to clean your monitor screen

To clean your monitor screen you need to follow these steps

1. Turn off the monitor

Turn off the monitor and disconnect all the cables. After disconnecting all the cables wait 15 – 30 minutes before you start to clean the monitor.

2. Dust off the monitor screen

Make sure to dust off the monitor screen before you start the cleaning process. You can use a regular duster or a dry microfiber cloth. It’s very important to dust off the monitor before cleaning it because if you clean the screen while dust particles are on it this can make it look really messy.

3. Spray cloth and clean monitor screen

Now it’s time to clean the monitor screen and it’s best to use a screen cleaner instead of water or vinegar. When cleaning any screen whether it’s a tv, phone or a monitor make sure not to spray the cleaner directly onto the screen. Doing this might cause the liquid to get into some creases of the electronic and this will cause some electrical issues. So it’s best to spray the microfiber cloth instead and use it to wipe the monitor screen.

4. Wipe the screen multiple times

If there are still stains and fingerprint marks on your monitor screen then it’s best to repeat the previous step over and over until the stains are gone.

How to clean other parts of the monitor

When cleaning other parts of the monitor you have to be even more careful, because places such as the back of the monitor usually have some creasers and holes that lead directly inside of the monitor and if any liquid gets into those areas, it can cause the monitor to stop working.

But don’t worry I am going to show you how to clean the other parts of your monitor without damaging it.

Steps:

1. Dust off the monitor
2. Get a microfiber cloth and pour some rubbing alcohol onto it. Then squeeze out the excess liquid.
3. Now use the cloth to wipe down every part of the monitor excluding the screen.

Conclusion

You see cleaning a monitor isn’t too hard. I hope you found this article useful and if you are interested in how to clean tv and phone screens then click here.
