Instruction manual
1
Plastic dishes are best washed with warm water and a mild soap or gel. Do not use boiling water and very hot water, as well as cleaning products containing abrasive particles. To wash adhering food debris, dissolve the dishwashing gel in a container of warm water and soak plastic plates and bowls in it. Wait about half an hour, wash the dishes with a washcloth and rinse with clean water.
2
The scale inside the plastic teapots will perfectly wash away the vinegar solution. Pour water into the kettle and add a couple of tablespoons of table or wine vinegar. Turn on the appliance, let the water boil. Wait half an hour, pour out the water and wipe the kettle with a soft sponge, erasing the remaining scale. If the hard coating is not completely removed, repeat the procedure. A weak acid solution is harmless to plastics. After processing, rinse the dishes thoroughly with clean running water.
3
To wash contaminated plastic furniture, dissolve the gel for dishes or universal detergent in warm water (at the rate of 1 tablespoon of the product per liter of water). Wipe the contaminated surface with a sponge dampened in this liquid, wipe off the remaining soapy water with a cloth dampened with clean warm water. Dry the damp furniture.

Black footprints from shoes and other dirt from plastic chairs can be removed with a melamine sponge. Moisten it slightly, wring it out and wipe the contaminated area. Similarly, traces of felt-tip pens and ballpoint pens can be destroyed.
5
To wash children's plastic toys, prepare a solution of warm water and baby soap or shampoo. Soak the toys in a deep container with a solution and leave them to soak for half an hour. Arm yourself with an old toothbrush and thoroughly clean joints, cavities, and other places where dirt accumulates. Rinse the washed toys in clean water and lay them out to dry.
6
Wipe the plastic window frames with a cloth dampened with glass cleaner. This will not only wash the frames, but also give them a shine. For quick cleaning, you can use universal cleaning napkins. Before use, check if there are any contraindications on the packaging for cleaning plastic products.
note
Do not attempt to clean the plastic with abrasive powders, hard wire washcloths or alkaline products.
