The haze, that Saharan dust that affects the Canary Islands so much, has been seen on the peninsula and the result has been that our terraces, windows and even inside the house, have been filled with reddish sand something annoying.
We already told you how dangerous it was for example, exercise outside the home and we recommend you do some training routine at home, like these calisthenics exercises for which you don’t even need material. We also talk about How does the calima affect our pets?but now that you are moving away from the peninsula, the next thing to do is clean up the remains that remain.
Although it may seem simple, make no mistake, haze is actually the suspension of small particles in the atmosphere, and those small particles are not easy to clean. Lucky for you, we know how to do it.
How to clean windows from haze
To clean the window panes we can use this window cleaner from El Corte Inglés, which is not only cheap (less than 14 euros), but also practical. uses hot water with a jet of ammonia and a few drops of dish soapas indicated by the Decoesfera experts, always starting with the highest part of the window.
Always use a damp microfiber cloth in the mixture that we told you to prevent the grit from scratching the crystals. Better to go twice gently than to rub wildly. With this calima it is important to be patient.
How to clean the haze from the terrace
The first tip: do not use the vacuum cleaner to remove the limescale, although your logical part urges you to do so. The calima sand can spoil it, and if after spending 150 euros on a wonderful one it breaks, you’re going to get pissed off. It is better to remove the furniture and scrub the floor with water with cleaning vinegar and a little detergent or soap. He thinks that it is preferable to throw away a mop than a vacuum cleaner. Change the water every time you scrub and do it as many times as necessary until the water runs clear.
In the case of furniture, the ideal is to clean it with a pressure water gun. With this nozzle that we couple to the hose that we have, we can remove any remains. If we don’t have a hose because we have a small terrace, don’t clean the dust by wiping it with a rag. No matter how fine the particles are, we can damage the furniture. It is better to do as with the floor and use a damp cloth to gradually remove the haze.
