We all know the harmful effects of global warming. And we know how
bad overexposure to sunlight has caused to nature. One good example for this is
coral bleaching and this is one thing that really makes us worry so much about
our environment. But then we can always use solar power itself to counter this
effect. And one good way to use solar power is through solar bleaching. If you
are confused on what good can solar bleaching will deliver, here are some
things you can consider.
Washing clothes. We all know how hard it would seem to eliminate
stains on clothing, especially on white ones. Stains could be very devastating
that it could cause clothing to be worthless. And that is where we use
bleaching agents. Often we use chemical based agents to remove stains. Most of the time this is
useful enough and deliver results. But we all know that chemicals used on these
things can be harmful to our environment, not to mention the harm it causes to
our own health. This is where we substitute it with solar bleaching. Exposing your clothes
under the sun helps in removing stains. It works by destroying the structure of
stains on your clothes. By that you can easily remove stains as with chemical
agents do.
Cleaning. Household cleaning could sometimes become very
challenging. Stubborn stains on you mat or table cloth are unlikely to go away
using ordinary detergents. With that bleaching actions can help. Exposing
stains under the sun could soften stains which otherwise hard to remove. This
method could also be effective on floor tiles. Your outdoor floor tiles could
benefit from its exposure to direct sunlight. This way dirt and stains can be
removed easier. Also, molds and mildew can be eliminated with solar bleaching.
Water bleaching. Some underground waters can be become exposed to
minerals thus rendering a rancid taste and simply contaminated. This makes your water supply unsafe for
drinking at times. This is often seen in homes that source their water on deep
wells. Underground water can sometimes become contaminated with minerals naturally or may be caused by recent human activity. And because of this, not
only it becomes unsafe for drinking, it also becomes dirty to be used on
washing clothes. Minerals can become stubborn stain if not eliminated prior to
use on clothes. Exposing your water to sunlight will breakdown these mineral thus
its bad effects can be lessened if not totally eliminated. And of course, exposing your water to direct
sunlight will not just breakdown minerals in it but will also eliminate
unwanted microorganisms.
Methods mentioned above are very versatile that it can be used to
other applications as well. And this simply shows how versatile solar power can
be.
