Plastic containers are very convenient for storing water supplies. It is lightweight, costs much less than its metal counterparts, but there is a problem - plastic bottles or canisters are very difficult to wash. It is almost impossible to get to the bottom of the vessel to wash off the green residue, but there are life hacks that will help you quickly and efficiently cope with this task.
Alkali treatment
To clean plastic bottles, you will need baking soda and water. Pour soda into a container (for a 20-liter eggplant you will need 200 g of soda) and add a small amount of water to make a thick porridge. Then close the lid of the container and leave for several hours for the reaction to appear. To enhance the cleaning process, you can shake the container several times. At the end, the cleaned plastic containers should be rinsed with running water.
Soda is an excellent antiseptic, so it will clean the container not only of visible plaque and dirt, but also of harmful bacteria.
Cleaning with salt and dishwashing detergent
Coarse salt and dish soap will help remove green residue from plastic dishes. To do this, you need to pour 4-5 tablespoons of coarse salt into the container (it will serve as an abrasive material) and add 3-4 tablespoons of detergent and shake the container in a circular motion so that the salt and detergent foam and begin the cleaning process. The stronger the agitation of the liquid, the faster and more effective the cleaning will be.If the deposit is strong, after shaking the container can be left to soak for an hour, and then repeat the centrifuge again. After cleaning, rinse the container with water.
Rinse with pharmaceutical products
An inexpensive but effective antiseptic, which is found in any home medicine cabinet, can easily clean and disinfect plastic utensils. To treat a 20-liter container, you need to prepare the following solution: dilute 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide in 2 liters of water. Pour the resulting liquid into a container, close the lid and leave for 2-3 hours, during which time the hydrogen peroxide will react and dissolve algae, sediment and dirt. After the time has passed, you need to shake the bottle or canister several times and rinse with running water. If the plaque is very strong, then the procedure should be repeated again.
Cleaning with cola and citric acid
Cola has long been known as an excellent cleaner and detergent, and in combination with citric acid it can clean even very old dirt, and most importantly - without any chemicals. In a plastic container with a volume of 20 liters, you need to pour 1.5–2 liters of carbonated drink and add 15–20 g of citric acid. In no case should you close the vessel, as during the reaction the cola will foam and gas will be released, which can rip the lid off. In addition, it is better not to hold the bottle in your hands and move away to a safe distance. After 10 minutes, the resulting liquid must be drained and the container rinsed.
It is not necessary to buy expensive detergents to wash plastic containers. It is enough to use folk remedies to quickly, cheaply, and most importantly, efficiently wash the container from green deposits and dirt.
Pour half a glass of millet and a liter of water (per 20 liters) into a bottle, close the lid and shake. It will be like new.
Why life hacks? Have you forgotten how to speak Russian? Couldn't it just be methods or ways to write? Did you need to demonstrate your high intelligence?
Cut raw potatoes into small cubes, add a little water and chat, it perfectly washes the greens in a canister
People have been given so much good advice, but they are still indignant)
Vyacheslav, why “intelligence”? Have you forgotten how to write “intelligence” in Russian? Moreover, for some reason they put a space after the hyphen in the adverb “in Russian” and forgot to put the words “methods and methods” in quotation marks.
Write some kind of crap..... and if I have a 5 cubic meter container, where can I take you so much soda or cola?
neither method is effective. from practice - soda and 9% acetic acid. pour in baking soda, then pour in vinegar, judge the proportions by eye
There are so many complex ways to combat multiplying microorganisms... chlorine and no greens and mold. Washable with water and completely disappears within 24 hours
Mendeleev’s smart guys gathered here, leave a sensible recipe and don’t be smart about who wrote what and how.
I tried both chemicals and dry grains, the chemicals did not wash well and the greens quickly returned, the grain worked a little better as a skin, but did not clean it off completely. I needed to bring the brew from the village for distillation, I poured it into a bottle with herbs, I didn’t have time to distill it right away, it sat for a couple of days. And what was my surprise, after freeing and washing the brush, not a trace of the greenery remained, the bacteria in the brush had processed everything
