Dirty light switch, make it like new: it should be cleaned like this

Other methods

Alternatively, you can also use alcohol  which  will tend to have the same action as the previous ingredients, taking care not to overdo it so as not to have problems from an electrical point of view.

Detergents  ,  whether purchased from a home care store or made by hand, also tend to remove dirt from the light switches in our homes.

It is generally recommended to remove the plastic part of the switches and immerse them in a three-liter tank of water to which must be added three tablespoons of powder or liquid detergent, and leave them to soak for 24 hours .

Then rinse them and let them dry so that they can then be placed on our wall. This method is recommended if there are paint residues after painting the walls and therefore dirt on the switches.

To these ingredients you must add 6 drops of essential oil of your choice, although it is advisable to use tea tree oil as it is known for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.

In addition, this substance tends to have a great action against fungi.  Lemon and  lavender essential oils  are also recommended, both effective in removing dirt and defeating bacteria.

This operation, in the way we prefer, should generally be carried out at least  once a week  , so that we can eliminate all the dirt that may form and the bacteria and germs that may nestle in our switches.
