How to clean an awning
The awning is one of the parts of the house most exposed to dirt because it is obviously located outdoors. In the summer season, it is one of the elements of the terrace or garden that we use the most, and that we must make ready for the hottest season. The first thing we must do is have a hose at hand to remove any dust and dirt with pressurised water. If this is not possible, because you live in a block of buildings or simply don't have one, you can use a spray with water and rub it with a brush. For stains, we can use a mixture of water with neutral soap and, if they are more localised stains, use ammonia with a spray, and rub with a brush, always rinsing with water at the end.

How to clean the upholstery of your sofa or chair
One of the essential pieces of furniture in the living room is, undoubtedly, the sofa. This is where we spend most of our time: we sit there to watch TV or look at our mobile phone, we lie down to take a nap... in other words, we make a lot of use of it. But what happens when it gets dirty? Even if you are very careful, with the passage of time the upholstery surfaces absorb a lot of dirt and, although it is not so visible, the dust and mites are there. The type of fabric of the sofa upholstery is also fundamental to determine how to clean it because, it is not the same if the fabric is washable or if it requires dry cleaning at the dry cleaner’s. Cleaning the upholstery of a sofa step by step First of all, the dust embedded in the fabric must be removed. With the help of the vacuum cleaner and the accessory for corners, start vacuuming from one side to the other, insisting on the folds and joints because that is where the most dust accumulates. Lift the cushions and all the parts you can take off to thoroughly clean the bottom, inside and outside of your upholstered sofa, too. Then, for a more thorough cleaning, we propose three methods to leave your upholstered sofa or chair like new: 1. Steam cleaning:this type of machine, which, if you’ve got one, you use to clean the windows of your house, can also be used with the upholstery accessory. It will not only help you to clean your sofa, but also to disinfect it. When you have finished steaming the whole sofa, wipe it with a clean cloth to finish removing the dirt and let it dry naturally. 2. Wet cleaning with ammonia: dilute ammonia in warm water, moisten a cloth in the mixture, and rub it over the whole upholstery from top to bottom. Then carry out the same operation just with warm water and a well wrung out, lint-free cloth to remove the dirt, continuously rinsing it out in the water. Then, let it dry naturally. 3. Dry foam stain remover:when the furniture is completely dry, check it for stains. In this case, you can use a conventional stain remover suitable for upholstery that usually comes in dry foam format, or create a homemade one. For this, you can use sodium percarbonate. Dissolve 2 or 3 tablespoons of this powerful natural stain remover in a litre of hot water, and apply the solution to the stains. Leave it to act for 5 to 10 minutes, rub it with a brush, rinse it with plenty of water and let it dry to check its effect. It is advisable, before using this homemade trick, for you to test it on a small part of the fabric that is not very visible to ensure that it does not discolour.

How to clean the rubber seal of the washing machine
During these weeks of lockdown, the washing machine has been one of the essential appliances in most homes, even more so than before. It has certainly done 'overtime' in all Spanish homes. One thing we must bear in mind is that the washing machine does not clean itself and there are parts of it that we must pay a little attention to, to avoid possible breakdowns or deterioration, which could be solved with proper maintenance. There are many people who do not dedicate time to the interior of the washing machine, but the truth is that, if we want our clothes to come out clean for a long time, we must pay some attention to cleaning the inside: drum, filters and... the rubber seal on the door.
