Daily plastic products have become a must-have for millions of households due to their lightweight, durability and low cost. However, over time, these daily plastic products often become old, and dull and even affect the service life due to dirt, bacteria and oxidation. How to keep daily plastic products in a good state and extend their service life has become a concern for many people. In this article, LEBO will reveal the secret of cleaning and maintenance of daily plastic products.
Cleaning methods of daily plastic products
General plastic daily necessities
For most daily plastic products, such as plastic lunch boxes, cups, food storage containers, etc., the following steps can be used for cleaning:
Preliminary cleaning: use water to rinse away food residues or stains on the surface.
Detergent cleaning: Put an appropriate amount of mild detergent (e.g. dishwashing liquid) in the sink, soak the plastic item in the water and gently scrub the surface with a sponge or soft cloth. Be careful to avoid using detergents containing abrasive ingredients and cleaning tools that are too rough to avoid scratching the surface of daily plastic products.
Rinse well: Rinse thoroughly with water to ensure there is no detergent residue.
Dry naturally: Place the daily plastic products in a ventilated place to dry naturally, avoid using hot air to blow dry to prevent deformation of the plastic.
Sticky or aged plastics
For sticky or aging daily plastic products, the following methods can be used:
Baking Soda Paste Cleaning: Mix baking soda and water in a certain ratio to form a paste (the specific ratio can be adjusted according to the size of the item), apply it to the sticky plastic surface, rub it gently with your fingertips, and then wipe off the residue with a damp cloth. This method can effectively remove the sticky substances and aging layer on the daily plastic products’ surface.
Alcohol wipe: Use medical alcohol to moisten a soft cloth and gently wipe the plastic surface. Alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves no trace, making it suitable for cleaning hard-to-remove stains and grease. Please note that some daily plastic products may be sensitive to alcohol and it is best to conduct a small test in an inconspicuous area before use.
Routine maintenance of daily plastic products
Avoid direct sunlight
Ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of plastic aging. Plastic products exposed to sunlight for a long time will accelerate aging, leading to discoloration, cracking and other problems. Therefore, daily plastic products should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, they can be covered with a layer of fabric to minimize UV damage to the plastic.
Avoiding high temperatures
High-temperature environment will also accelerate the aging process of plastic. Therefore, when using daily plastic products, you should try to avoid placing them in high-temperature environments (e.g., next to stoves, heaters, etc.). In addition, when using hot water to clean plastic products, you should also pay attention to the water temperature should not be too high.
Regular cleaning
Regular cleaning of daily plastic products is the key to maintaining their hygiene and prolonging their service life. According to the frequency of use and the degree of stains choose the appropriate cleaning methods and time intervals. For frequently used plastic products (such as tableware, cups, etc.), it is recommended to clean them every day after use; for infrequently used plastic products (such as storage boxes, etc.), you can deep clean them once a month or once a quarter.
Pay attention to the way of use
When using daily plastic products, care should be taken to avoid scratching the surface with hard objects, excessive squeezing or twisting leading to deformation and other problems. Also, when storing plastic products, they should be arranged in different categories to avoid damage caused by heavy pressure or over-stacking.
