Kerala – problem of cleaning after floods 

1.  1.      vessel cleaning

2.     Individual cleaning is laborious. Keep a chembu, varpu, uruli, or very large plastic / aluminum / steel / copper vessel.

3.     Keep all the plates. ,  glasses, spoons and cutlery, small steel and aluminum vessels in the order that they do not break.

4.     Pour 2-3 or more liquid Vim or Pril  along with 3-4 table spoon of Dettol or savlon

5.     Fill the vessel with boiling water.

6.     Keep it for half hour or even one or two hours since there is so much dirt on the because of the flood water .

7.     When the water cools down , scrub them with steel wool or cleaning brushes.

8.     You can fix a steel scrub on the brush m to clean  . It will be easier and hand will not get wet and dirty.

2. FLOOR CLEANING

Mix water with the liquid Vim or Pril  along with Dettol or savlon

Pour over the entire floor.

Leave for half an hour.

Just wash with clean water with long brush .

Do not pour liquid vim or Pril from the bottle onto the floor.

It is very concentrated and very slippery and you may fall.

When you allow it to soak and remain there for sometime it dissolves all the dirt and not strenuous work is required .

3. For cleaning car, walls,  windows, doors , window glass, burners , furniture, etc this solution  is useful .

4. CLOTH CLEANING

The same solution  but use hot or cold water depending on the material.

Salt  and vinegar also can be added to it. Color will not run .

5. Salt , vinegar, Dettol and savlon has antibiotic properties and liquid soaps cleanses better than powder or bar soap and do not leave any residue . So washing is easier .

Hot water  washes better than cold water. People will not catch cold by   dipping their hand in cold water  specially when the climate is so cold .
