Use of mechanical force to generate electricity

Summary
The need for energy is a confirmation from the beginning of life itself. An organism to grow and reproduce requires energy, the movement of any animal involves an energy expenditure, and even the very fact of the respiration of plants and animals implies an energy action. In everything related to individual or social life, energy is present.
Obtaining light and heat is linked to the production and consumption of energy. Both terms are essential for the survival of the earth and consequently of plant, animal and human life.
The human being from his first steps on earth, and throughout history, has been a seeker of ways to generate that necessary energy and facilitator of a more pleasant life. Thanks to the use and knowledge of the forms of energy, he has been able to cover basic needs: light, heat, movement, strength, and reach higher levels of comfort to have a more comfortable and healthy life.

Abstract
The need for energy is a realization from the very beginning of life itself. An organism to grow and reproduce requires energy, the movement of any animal is an energy expenditure, and even the fact of the breathing of plants and animals implies an energetic action. In everything related to individual or social life energy is present.
Obtaining light and heat is linked to the production and consumption of energy. Both terms are essential for the survival of the earth and consequently of plant, animal and human life.
The human being from his first steps on earth, and throughout history, has been a searcher for ways to generate that necessary energy and facilitator of a more pleasant life. Thanks to the use and knowledge of the forms of energy has been able to cover basic needs: light, heat, movement, strength, and reach higher levels of comfort to have a more comfortable and healthy life.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Concept of energy: Energy is the ability to produce some type of work or put something in motion.

Different forms of energy:

The  mechanical energy  is used to move to another body. This in turn is divided into two energies:  potential energy (it is the one that bodies have due to the position in which they are, that is, a body in height has more potential energy than a body on the ground surface) and  kinetic energy  (is what bodies have due to their speed).

 The  hydraulic potential energy is obtained from water falling from a height at a lower level which causes the movement of hydraulic or turbine wheels.

Caloric or thermal energy : it is the one that is transmitted between two bodies that are at different temperatures. One of the purposes for which heat energy is used is to cause movement of various machines.

The  chemical energy  is generated by the food and fuel, or more precisely, the contained chemical molecules and which develops in a chemical reaction. We know the result of food in our body: we develop energy to do different jobs. Energy from burning coal, wood, oil, and gas powers engines and provides heating.

The  radiant energy or light  is one that most often see as light and we can see things around us.

Electrical energy (or electricity) : is that produced by the movement of electrons through a conductor. It is divided in turn into magnetic energy (energy from magnets), static and electric current.

The  nuclear or atomic energy  is coming from the core of the atom, the most powerful known so far.

Wind energy is that obtained through the wind, thanks to the kinetic energy generated by the draft effect. Wind energy is characterized by being an abundant, renewable and clean energy.

The solar energy is obtained from the use of electromagnetic radiation from the sun, solar radiation reaching the planet can also be exploited by means of sensors that using different technologies (photovoltaic cells, heliostats, thermal collectors) can be transformed into thermal energy or electricity and is also one of those classified as clean or renewable energy.

The geothermal energy corresponds to the energy that can be obtained based on the use of the internal heat of the earth

Tidal energy : It is the result of the use of the tides, it is due to the difference in the average height of the seas according to the relative position of the Earth and the Moon and that as a result gives the gravitational attraction of the latter and the sun on the oceans .

Energy transformations

1- Chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy using a battery. During this process, when the battery is heated, we say that there are heat losses.

2- Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy through combustion boilers, even when we burn firewood.

3- Electric energy can be transformed into mechanical energy by heating the motor, in this case heat losses also occur.

4- Electric energy is transformed into heat , an everyday example is heat plates or heat pumps.

5- Mechanical energy to electrical energy .

6- From hydraulic and wind energy we obtain mechanical energy .

7- Thanks to solar energy we obtain electrical energy .

8 - Nuclear energy is transformed in nuclear power plants into thermal energy .

9- The hydraulic energy of a river changes to mechanical energy , through mechanisms that activate stone mills to grind grain.

10 - The potential energy contained in a soda bottle (gas and compressed liquid) is released, transforming into kinetic energy that drips the liquid with force.

11- The thermal energy of fossil fuels is transformed into kinetic energy through its combustion in an engine to move a vehicle.

12- Tidal energy (use of the tides), is converted into electrical energy through dynamos.

13- Kinetic energy to potential

13.- Potential to kinetic energy

How is electrical energy generated through mechanical energy?             

Sustainable energy is that which, unlike traditional energy (expensive, polluting and at some point exhaustible), can be obtained from "renewable" sources such as the sun, air or rainwater. There are other methods of generating energy, such as: a pulley.

A pulley is a  simple machine , a mechanical traction device, used to transmit a  force , to move or lift heavy things. It consists of a suspended wheel, which rotates around an axis, with a channel or throat on its edge through which a rope or chain is passed.

The belt pulley is very useful for coupling electric motors to other machines (compressors, drills, fans, electric generators, saws ...) since it allows a rotary movement to be transferred from one axis to another. With this type of pulleys mechanisms such as the   speed multiplier , the  gearbox  and the   pulley train are built .

In my case, I used it to connect it to an electric motor, transmitting force and generating energy.

Physical law that allows converting mechanical energy into electrical energy:

Energy Conservation Law: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another, but the total amount of energy never changes."

TARGET
Demonstrate the production of electrical energy making use of the knowledge acquired in the field of mechanics, put into practice the construction of a pulley that connected to an electric motor and using force can light two LED bulbs, this with the intention of demonstrate energy transformations and know the alternatives that can be put into practice to satisfy human needs without negatively impacting the environment.

MATERIALS

Quantity    Description
1    Electric motor
two    Color LED spotlight
1    Cable
two    CD
1    Cardboard circle. Radius cm
1    Band
1    2 inch screw
1    2 inch galvanized nail
3    Nuts
4    Washers
1    Clamp
1    Wood base
1    Silicone stick
1    Silicone gun
     Insulating tape

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Get two CDs and cut a cardboard circle 5mm smaller than its circumference, then stick one side of the cardboard to a CD and do the same with the back (use a lot of hot silicone so that it does not come off).

In the center of the cardboard circle, make a hole the size of a 2-inch screw and with the same screw check that the disc turns without complications.

With the help of a drill make a hole in the wooden base; In this hole insert a 2-inch screw with a nut already in place, and when it is inside, place another nut but on the opposite side, after which insert a washer so that it is well fixed.

Make a hole in the plastic plate of the CDs to be able to place a nail, you will again need help from the drill.

Then put the center of the Disc in the screw that was already attached to the wooden base, reinforce it with another screw and a washer, this will give it support and will not allow it to move improperly.

To connect the motor: it is necessary to leave the cables without plastic only in the part of the tips, making the wire free.

Tie each wire to the motor connectors

Attach the LED bulbs to the cables but on the opposite side.

Hold the motor 5 cm from the CD on the base

As a next step, place the elastic band between the CDs so that it is in the space of the cardboard and next step, join it with the motor

Begin to turn the pulley so that the LEDs light up.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS
The generator that I propose here can also be used for other purposes, apart from turning on an LED spotlight. For example; a clock, a small radio, etc. can be operated.

This experiment generates clean energy since it uses force, that is, mechanical energy to generate electrical energy.

Depending on the speed with which you rotate the system, you will obtain a certain current and voltage, the faster it rotates, the higher the voltage.

If we rotate the electric motor in one direction to the current it generates, it will have a polarity (positive pole and negative pole, always). Whereas if the sense is reversed, said polarity will be reversed as well.

Any electric motor that has permanent magnets can produce electricity in the same way that a common generator produces energy, turning one of these motors causes the internal coils to rotate beyond the magnets, this induces an electric current.

How to move plants safely

It is very common that throughout our lives we have to move residence, the causes can be many: change of job, a cheaper rent, a bigger house, better opportunities in another city or country. But beyond the causes, for those of us who love gardening, the fact of moving adds an extra problem: How to move the plants to our new home?
Having to leave years of work in our garden behind can give us a lot of sadness and nostalgia and we cannot resist taking at least part of it to our new home. Luckily, if we do it correctly, we have a great chance of success moving plants to a new location, there are times better than others, but beyond that, I am going to give you some basic tips that you should know and take to the practice if you want to move the plants along with the rest of your belongings. Maybe you can't take everything with you, but something is something ...
If you are in Spain, the national removals page in Barcelona can help and advise you on the matter

Checklist for moving plants

Before deciding to move your plants, you should ask yourself the following questions and consider the efforts that this task will entail from start to finish.

How big is the plant in question?

If it is a specimen of more than one meter wide or high, consider that it will be very heavy both to handle and to transport it, also find out the cost of transport.

Is it a special variety or can I buy a new one?

Perhaps all the work and risk of the transplant is not justified.

Will it adapt well to my new climate?

Especially if you change cities, remember that there may be a totally different climate, as long as you are within the same hardiness zone there should be no problems. But consider the frosts, rains, and summer heat that the place you move to has.

Will I be able to take care of the plant during its adaptation?

That is, I will be able to plant it quickly and take care of it or I will have too many chores with the rest of the things in the house. It is a point that sometimes we do not consider and we end up killing the plant for not being able to do things in the appropriate time.

Do I have enough space in my new home or garden for these plants?

If you have reviewed all these considerations and you still want to move the plants to your new home, take note of the following recommendations for cheap moves in Mataró so that success is certain.

Ideal time to move plants

• There is an ideal time to move perennials from one home to another, and it is spring or fall. During these seasons, the temperatures are not excessively hot and the plants suffer much less. If you have the choice, try not to move the plants during the summer, as these climatic conditions make the plants stress very quickly when we transplant them. If we talk about trees and shrubs, the ideal time is winter.
• Of course, many times we cannot choose in which season of the year to move, therefore, I am going to give you other information that can help you to make the move as optimal and successful as possible.
• Something else, if you have all your plants in pots, obviously you will have less inconvenience, but anyway, the advice for transporting them can be very useful.

Taking the plants out of our old garden

• The first thing you should try when you dig up your plants is to try to remove them with as many roots and soil as you can and trying to hurt it as little as possible. The soil will help protect the plants during the move. Once you've dug it up, place it in a large pot and make sure to moisten the substrate as much as possible and that it remains moist. In the case of very large plants, such as small trees or shrubs, you should wrap their roots in burlap cloth to protect them even more.

How to transport our plants in a move

If we must move the plants during the summer or spring, it is very important to keep them away from the sun and the wind. The root ball must be kept moist during transport and we should replant them in their new location as soon as possible. The less time it takes to relocate our plants, the better, as there will be less stress. If the move is in autumn or winter, the time that the transport takes is not so critical, however, the sooner we do it, the better.
An important consideration would be to try to move the plants in a closed vehicle or transport, such as a truck, in order to avoid any damage that may be caused by the wind. If the distance is long, such as a move to another city, we should check the humidity of the substrate every time we stop.

Finally, we are in our new home!

• Once we reach our destination, we have to check and see if our plants have suffered any damage. We can trim the broken leaves or branches and will try to re-plant them as soon as possible.
• If we are looking for an ideal time, this would be a cloudy day and in the morning, especially if they are spring or summer months.
• A plant that has been transplanted is going to need all our love and intensive care. Make sure to keep the soil moist with waterings as, especially in hot weather, plants can easily wilt. Something that can help retain moisture is adding a 5-10 cm layer of mulch.
• It would also be convenient to protect them from the intense sun during the adaptation period that must inevitably occur when the plants are moved.
• Remember that the safest thing is that your plants need several weeks until they finally adapt to their new location, so pamper them a lot and do not neglect them.

Procedure for moving indoor plants to outdoors

Anyone who has indoor plants, on some occasion, has been able to ask whether in spring or summer it is appropriate to take out to terraces or balconies the specimens that are kept at home during the rest of the year. Sometimes, with certain specimens, moving them at random works well and in other cases the plants perish after a few weeks.
To know how to act properly and avoid losing more plants, it can be said that usually the transfer of the plant during the hottest months of the year is beneficial, but it is convenient to carry it out progressively.

In the first place it is advisable to study the needs of each plant and if inside the house a specimen usually requires being in places with partial shade, of course this circumstance will not have to be varied when it is located outside, so it will be advisable to place it in a shady place.

When its new location is decided, it is advisable that the change is not drastic, it is necessary to go little by little allowing the plant to acclimate to those conditions, in such a way that the first day the specimen will be left in its new location for an hour , the next day longer and so on until ensuring that the plant has perfectly adapted to its new environment.

The air currents and the sun

On the other hand, in the first weeks of spring, when the plants found inside the house begin to resume their maximum vegetative activity, there is a tendency to favor the entry of air from outside by keeping the windows open for most of the day. . This air renewal is necessary for both people and plants, but care must be taken because if the air intake is continuous, the currents can significantly affect the development of indoor specimens. To avoid damage to the plants, it is advisable to avoid drafts inside the home, apart from not prolonging the time spent ventilating the house excessively.

Also the direct and permanent incidence of sun rays more intense than those of the winter season can significantly damage the foliage of the plants, especially if they have been sprayed with water. In this case, it is advisable to screen the light that comes from outside with a curtain and it is also advisable not to wet the leaves when the plant is exposed to the sun's rays.

Relocation of plants

When it comes to redecorating the home, it must be borne in mind that the location of the indoor plants is also changing, whose environment is also changing, which can be a fatal event for the specimen.
The most common when determining the location of a plant inside a home focuses on assessing the needs for light, humidity and temperature, ensuring that these are the most consistent with your needs. But when a reorganization of the space is carried out, the previous aspects are put aside in favor of aesthetics, forgetting that, no matter how minimal, the change in brightness or humidity that the plant is going to undergo, will significantly alter its growth, reaching the point that it could not outgrow it and die.
For this reason it is recommended to avoid alterations in the location of indoor plants, so that they can maintain the balance necessary to grow vigorously.

Spotless indoor plants

In some cases, there are people who have the habit of removing dust from indoor plants as if they were cleaning the dust on any object of home decoration. The vast majority are unaware that the product they use for such cleaning can be harmful to the plant, instead of benefiting it. That is why it is advisable to avoid applying the same cleaning product to the house furniture on the floors, apart from the fact that it is also advisable to use different rags for each task.
If what you want is to improve the presence of the plants and eliminate dust and dirt, the most successful method is to move them outside when it rains, once the first minutes have passed and the atmosphere has been cleaned. This solution is ideal when it rains in the summer, spring and autumn, but on winter days it is advisable to discard the idea of ​​taking them outside and replace with a warm shower that the plants will also appreciate.
Another option to take into account is to use a polish to achieve the desired appearance in all plants, but this product should not be abused. The measure is advisable to be placed at most 3 or 4 times a year.
On the other hand, it is convenient to pay special attention when the plants are in bloom, since the flowers are very delicate and it is not advisable to get them wet, much less apply cleaning products, no matter how ecological they are.

How to move your marijuana plants indoors to outdoors

Marijuana can be grown both indoors and outdoors. But is it possible to move indoor plants outdoors? Read on for a detailed guide on how to move your indoor plants outside, permanently or temporarily.

Although it may seem illogical, many marijuana growers start their plants indoors and later move them outside . In this article, we show you exactly how to move your indoor plants outdoors, be it permanently or temporarily.

Why move indoor marijuana plants outside?

• To get the crop early: If you live in an area with a short growing season, starting your plants indoors is a great way to give them more time for the vegetative phase.
• To induce flowering: Some people prefer to grow plants indoors during the vegetative phase with an 18/6 light cycle, and then move them outside to force flowering.
• For more space: If your grow tent is cluttered, you may want to move your plants outside so they can grow freely.
• To combat pests: If you are fighting pests, you may want to move your plants outside to treat and disinfect the grow room.
• To improve lighting: There is no grow light that outshines natural sunlight. If your grow light isn't enough, you can move the plants outside to keep them growing in the sun.
• To fix technical glitches: If one of your grow equipment breaks midway through, you can move your plants outside while you fix or replace the fixture.
• There are many other scenarios in which you might consider moving plants from your grow room or tent to the outside, or vice versa. For example, if you want to prevent your outdoor plants from attracting attention, you can minimize the time they are outside by keeping them indoors under grow lights during flowering.

If you plan to move your indoor plants outdoors, follow these tips to avoid stressing them.

How to transport plants in a move: practical guide

Plants are a very important part of our homes and workplaces, since they add color, renew the air and relax, and moving them during a move is something delicate after time of care and pampering. Plants are temperamental, and even in the best cases they can suffer from sudden changes in light, temperature, humidity, movement or other conditions. In this post we explain how to transport plants safely through good planning and good ideas, but ideally, ask a gardener for advice on larger or more delicate plants.

Should we take our plants with us?

Before knowing how to transport plants, we must consider whether it is really safe to take them, especially if the transfer is very long or in a very different climate. There are certain extremely fragile plants, as well as flowers and young shrubs and trees, that may not survive a move or relocation.

If we know that someone is going to live or work in our current home or office and would like to conserve the plants, perhaps we should consider, for their health, leaving them where they are and making more people happy. One option may be to keep a cutting to plant in the new place, and thus keep some of them. We can also give some of our plants to close people who take care of them.

If, on the contrary, we cannot leave them or they have a lot of sentimental value for us, then this guide will help us to do so. Of course, we must be prepared for many extra hours of care for their preparation, their transfer and their acclimatization to the new home.

On the ownership of buried trees and perennials

There are some types of plants that are listed in the sales or rental contracts, so they are expected to remain in place, such as fruit trees, rose bushes, etc. The crops of a garden, however, are personal property and we can take them in any case. It is highly recommended to find out what the law says about it in the place where we are.

Steps to transport plants safely

Prepare the plants
A few weeks before the move, it is advisable to remove the dead leaves and branches from our plants, and give them a good pruning , and a few days before the move we must remove dust , possible pests and weeds. The better we prepare them, the more likely they are to survive. If we are not sure how to do it correctly, it is best to consult a specialist or inform ourselves thoroughly in reputable books.

Plants with pest problems

If our plants have pests and we have not been able to get rid of them by move-in day, they will most likely not survive the move and we should leave them in the current home or office.

To make the plants less heavy in transport, the ideal is to remove them from the pots (especially if they are very heavy like the terracotta ones) and put them in plastic pots (or homemade containers made with cut-out carafes, for example, if they are large enough rigid), several weeks before so that all the changes do not come together at once.

If we have the possibility, it is important to locate in the new home or office the places where we will place our plants , preferably in the same orientation and in the same type of place where they were previously.

Plants, Trees and Shrubs to Dig Up

If we have to take some type of plant, shrub or tree that needs to be dug up from a garden, we must extract it the day before as well in advance, soaking before and digging keeping its root system (thick and fine), in a ball of earth and placing the entire bottom in a plastic bag ensuring there is enough moisture until it is replanted. If we are not very skilled with gardening, it is highly recommended that all this part is done by a professional gardener.

Move the plants
The plants should be the last thing we move to the new place (in a moving truck they should be placed last). It's not a bad idea to have basic gardening tools on hand so you can easily access them.

If possible, we should transport the plants in a temperature controlled environment , such as an air-conditioned vehicle. If we go to a moving company and notify them, they will know how to transport plants with minimal risk, but we must bear in mind that not all moving companies accept transporting plants. Ideally, we do it.

To protect the entire plant in each pot, we can make a protective cover with wrapping paper that is the same height as the plant and surrounds the pot, sticking it with adhesive tape, so that it is like inside a tube of paper or a funnel. For possible water leaks, we can put newspapers under the pots. We should never put the plants in boxes without identifying them and even less so deliver them to a moving company, since they will not be responsible for any damage. If we have small or medium plants of similar sizes, we can group several, leaving enough space between the tallest plant and the lid of the container, which should have holes and an indication that it is fragile and cannot be turned over.

Plants must travel hydrated . Cold and humidity and heat and dryness are bad combinations for our dear botanical companions, so if we move them in summer we must water them on the day of the move (except in the case of species with a dry and hot climate) and if they We move in winter, we must do it for the last time days before so that the same day of the move they have dry land (except in case of humid and cold climate species).

Re-arrange plants
Once the journey is completed, the plants must be the first to be unloaded , and we must place them in their pot and in a temporary place where their stress is as low as possible, without drafts, without direct sun, and with enough water, and they must stay there for several days to recover from the shock they have experienced.

When our plants have acclimatized to the new home, we can place them in the final place that we have chosen for each one of them, ideally in places similar to the place of origin as we explained at the beginning.

If we have been left with cuttings or have relocated entire bushes or saplings, we must immediately replant them in the appropriate places in the new garden.

If the leaves of our relocated plants fall or turn yellow after the transfer it is usually normal, since it is a defense reaction of these sensitive living beings and is usually temporary. It's not a bad idea to put these pretty plant friends in the hands of a specialist to help them recover.

Let us advise on how to transport plants
In the whole process of transporting plants to a new place, it is a good idea to let us advise you by experts in gardening and also by moving professionals. They will help us to find the best solution to increase the chances that our beloved plants will survive the transfer in the best conditions and last for many more years.

Step by step to remove yellow soles from shoes

Over time, it is normal that the soles of our white mushrooms tend to turn yellow, this is due to exposure to the sun and the natural aging of the material.

However, this does not mean that you have to discard them, since there are several home tricks that can remedy this problem. Here are tricks for you to put into practice, so take note.

Coarse salt: Its properties help to eliminate any type of dirt adhered to the material, for this you will need: ½ cup of coarse salt, soap or detergent and a brush.

With the help of the (dry) brush, begin to remove the excess dirt that the shoes have. Then wash the tennis shoes normally, but before rinsing them rub the coarse salt all over the shoes and leave for an hour. After time, rinse with cold water and let them dry out of the sun.

Salt and milk: This combination is a good alternative as it helps remove all stains from shoes. For this homemade recipe you will need: ½ cup of coarse salt, a liter of milk, ½ liter of water and soap or detergent.

Take a container big enough for the shoes to fit in, and pour in the milk, water, and coarse salt. Soak the shoes and let them soak for three hours. After time, take the brush and rub them to remove the dirt. Then wash them with soap and cold water.

Toothpaste: It is one of the most common solutions, as they help clean rubber surfaces. You only need a toothbrush, toothpaste and a damp cloth.

Toothpaste is a good solution to clean the white gums on the sole or those shoes that are made with leather material.

Take the toothbrush and wet it with water and put a little toothpaste, rub it on the affected areas of the shoe. This will generate a foam where the remains of dirt will come out. When you finish cleaning them, just wash them and let them dry out of the sun.

Baking soda and white vinegar: Both ingredients are natural bleaches, these are used to whiten fabrics, surfaces and footwear. For this you will need: ½ cup of white vinegar, ¼ cup of baking soda and a brush.

Mix the bicarbonate and vinegar, when the foam goes down, submerge the brush and start to pass it over the shoes. Leave this combination to act for half an hour and then rinse.

Ammonia and dish detergent: The properties of both products are effective in removing stains. For this you should have: 1 teaspoon of ammonia, 1 tablespoon of detergent, 2 liters of warm water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda (optional) and a brush.

First remove the remains of dirt with the help of the brush. Then dilute the ammonia and the soap in the two liters of water. Dip the shoes and let them soak for an hour. When the time has passed, you just have to wash them. If there are still some stains rub in a little baking soda after soaking.

Sneakers fit well in practically any look, we have seen infinite very successful outfits to all the influencers, both national and international, from Paula Echevarría or Sara Carbonero, through Chiara Ferragni or Kim Kardashian.

But like everything in life, there is always a but, in this case, unfortunately sports shoes with light colors or with a white sole tend to get dirty too easily. When we release them they look very cute, but as we use them, they begin to lose their original white.

As we know that it is a question that you always ask yourself, from Zona Zero Tendencies we have developed a series of tips so that your sneakers always look in perfect condition.



Here are our tricks to make your sneakers show off their original nuclear target again:

First of all, before using any of the tricks that we are going to tell you, remove the laces and put them in a container with soap and water. Rub the dirtiest parts of the shoelaces with the soap and after letting them soak for a while, remove the soap and leave them in the sun to make them whiter.

1. Toothpaste

Incredible but true, in addition to helping to whiten teeth, it is also very useful for cleaning tennis shoes.

Dampen a soft bristle brush in soap and water and then rub the tennis shoes, when you are done, remove the soap residue with a cloth and begin to rub the toothpaste on the sneakers with the brush. Let the toothpaste work for a few minutes and clean the tennis shoes with a damp cloth.

In a short time, and without much effort, the toothpaste will help you whiten them in an amazing way.

2. VASELINE

Vaseline is very useful if you are looking to clean rubber soles. Smear a rag with petroleum jelly and rub directly onto the stain. You will see how all the black dirt on the sole will disappear!

3. BAKING SODA

Due to its properties, bicarbonate is used as a natural detergent. Helps remove dirt and eliminates odor-causing bacteria.

It is very easy to use, moisten the baking soda with a little water, until you get a thick paste. Rub it on the fabric footwear with the help of a brush and let it rest for 5 minutes. Rinse and dry in the sun.

4. CORN FLOUR

Too easy! If the sports shoes are very dirty, it is convenient to soak them with water and a little ammonia. If not, it can be done directly with the shoe wet. You just have to smear the entire shoe with the cornmeal and let it dry. When it is dry, you rub it with a brush to remove the remains and that's it.

5. LEMON

Due to its acidity, it is useful to fight against stains in general and specifically against greasy ones . Scoop some lemon juice on the stain before washing your tennis shoes. If you want to boost the power of the lemon, mix it with baking soda until it forms a paste. Leave on for half an hour and rinse them.

6. "NO" TO THE WASHING MACHINE

We know that there are times when the only alternative seems to put them in the washing machine, but trust us, it is not a good idea, even with a gentle program for delicates.

Washing machines damage shoes, and not only during spinning, they could also be damaged by fading of colored elements such as labels or tabs. In addition, hot water contributes to the deterioration of tissues (in most cases turning them into yellowish tones). Where there is no risk is in the laces, the only thing that is advisable to wash separately in the washing machine.
