Water is an important part of human life. It is very important not only for humans, but also for animals and nature. On the other hand, water, which is the cornerstone of our lives, is a material we frequently use in cleaning. However, researches and experiences have proven that the water we use as a tool while cleaning does not give good results for some objects and objects. Let's take a look at the things you should never clean with water.

8 Things You Should Never Clean With Water

Leather

In general, you should keep water away from your leather products. Whether it's clothes, accessories or furniture, using water on leather can leave marks and stains and cause the leather to crack over time.

Electronic devices

Never use water to clean your keyboard, televisions, remote controls or computer screens. Instead, you should use a lens cleaning cloth or microfiber cloth and a small amount of alcohol or a specially formulated lens cleaner to clean your electronics.

Silver

Cleaning silver with water can remove stains in the short term. However, over time, using water on these materials will erode their protective coating and cause dulling.

Wooden furniture

Water damages the protective coating of wooden furniture. Dust your wood furniture regularly and use wood wax or lemon oil for deep cleaning.

Parquet

Water can destroy your floor's protective coating and then seep into the wood, causing irreversible discoloration and swelling over time.

Gas oven

Careless spraying of water on the hob or wiping with a very wet cloth can damage your igniters. If you've heard of your igniter starting on its own, it may be due to a water leak. Your igniters will usually clear up on their own after they've dried, but there's a chance they're permanently damaged.

Suede and Velvet

Water can scratch or stain these materials and even cause them to shrink or deteriorate their texture. When dirt and grime are present on these fabrics, regular wiping should be done with a soft brush and, if necessary, a foaming upholstery cleaner.

Silk

Water leaves marks on the silk surface. Even if the item is labeled washable, be careful when using water to clean the silk. Spot cleaning should never be done. Because water can leave marks, stains and marks. Instead, hand wash the entire fabric on a delicate program or with a detergent formulated for delicate fabrics.
