Every Christmas is different, but this year it’s even more so due to the circumstances that we’re all more than familiar with. Although this year it won’t be possible to gather all of our loved ones around the table, this is no reason to put aside the excitement associated with these dates. To keep the spirit alive this year, we need to pay more attention to the little details, like when we were children. Why don’t you start by getting excited about preparing the most dazzling table for your Christmas meal? ORO will be your greatest ally, and we’ll explain why below.

Tips for an impeccable table for your Christmas meals. With these simple tricks, you’ll become the most celebrated host. Pay attention!

1. Get out your white tablecloth

A Christmas tables needs to be bright, and you can create this effect naturally with this element. If you haven’t used your white tablecloth for a long time, it may have yellowed in some areas or have a stubborn stain you weren’t able to get out. In this case, we recommend the Automáticas liquid detergent or the Gel Azul Oro, which will be your best options for solving these types of problems. Not surprisingly, they are especially effective against difficult stains and have a superior whitening power.

2. Take good care of your embroidered napkins

It’s time to level up your table with the napkins you’ve set aside for special occasions. The embroidery gives them a special touch, but, as you know, they’re delicate… So, the best thing to do is protect them using solutions such as the concentrated Marsella Oro detergent, which carefully cleans all types of fabrics. And remember: you must also take care of you and your loved one’s health, spacing out the napkins to comply with the recommended amount of social distancing.

3. Make your table incredibly soft

With the previous tricks, your table will be overflowing with cleanliness, but to complete that feeling of utter splendour, you also need the linens to feel incredibly delicate. Not only because of the pleasure that comes from caressing a nice fabric, but because touching a soft fabric gives us that cosy feeling inside that is so typical of these dates. Get inspired by the ORO fabric softeners, such as the Nutrive or Rosa Mosqueta concentrates, both with micro-encapsulated fragrance.

4. Give your table’s linens a captivating aroma

To make a table look radiant, it’s not enough to simply wash the tablecloth and napkins; they should also give off a pleasant smell that can turn the evening into something truly special. And without a doubt, this holiday season we need to experience this feeling more than any other Christmas. So you should trust in our products to complete this mission. The ORO Orange & Sandalwood and ORO Coco & Peach detergents will give your table a familiar freshness and smell. Make this occasion even more special by smiling and chatting with your loved ones while wrapped up in these indulgent aromas.

By following these recommendations, you will turn this unusual Christmas meal into one that’s unforgettable. And by the way, remember to finish it off with one last trick: use a Mistol dishwashing liquid like the Balsam, Original or Ultra Plus to make your dishes shine. Your plates and cutlery will have never looked better and your glasses will have an unmistakable lemony scent.

Happy Holidays!

When the good weather arrives, we feel like spending time out on the terrace or in the garden. However, the same goes for wasps. In homes that have a swimming pool in particular.

How do you chase away wasps from your garden?

There is a wide variety of remedies to scare off wasps. Although some are more effective and quicker than others, here are a few:

• Repellent plants and flowers: There are different types of plants and flowers that will help you chase away wasps. Examples include lavender, laurel, jasmine and basil. They are also perfect for sprucing up your garden.
• Lemon, vinegar, mint…: Another method that is widely used. These foods that you may come across in your kitchen, when mixed with water in a sprayer, will also help chase wasps away.

• Effective wasp repellent insecticide: If you want to get rid of them quickly and effectively, preventing them from coming back in time, use a special repellent insecticide.

At ORO Home, we offer the concentrated wasp repellent insecticide, suitable for use inside and outside your home alike. A quick and effective method of getting rid of them for good. Discover the range of ORO insecticides, to protect your home from annoying flying insects as the good weather arrives.

The Asian tiger mosquito is an invasive species native to Southeast Asia, from tropical climates, which has been living in our country for quite a number of years.

This species is a transmitter of more than 20 infectious diseases and its bites are extremely unpleasant, resulting in itching, swelling and stronger allergic reactions than those of the common mosquito.

How to avoid being stung:

1. Avoid stagnant water: mosquitoes lay eggs on water, so we should avoid containers with leftover and stagnant water in order for them not to become a breeding ground.
2. Protect the skin: wear long-sleeved clothing, long trousers and socks to avoid being bitten
3. Turn off the light at night: avoid attracting insects with light bulbs and open windows
4. Avoid strong smells: mosquitoes are attracted to soaps or sweet-smelling perfumes, avoid them if you are going to be somewhere where mosquitoes are likely to be
5. Body hygiene: smells such as sweat also attract these insects, so we recommend proper hygiene to avoid being bitten
6. Use mosquito nets: cover windows to prevent mosquitoes and other insects from getting in
7. Specialised tiger mosquito insecticide: if mosquitoes show up, check that your flying insect insecticide is also extremely effective against tiger mosquitoes
8. Apply a repellent: protect your body with repellents to avoid being bitten
9. Care and treatment: if, despite taking the necessary measures, you are bitten by a mosquito, consult your chemist on the most effective treatment for each type of bite

 

Protect your home from tiger mosquitoes with ORO insecticides.

Mosquitoes, ants, mites, fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches… There are many insects that can sneak into your home without you noticing and turn it into a breeding ground. This not only looks bad and creates distress, it can also lead to illness, uncleanliness and allergic reactions to bites.

Therefore, having a good insecticide on hand at home to get rid of all those bugs as soon as they show up is of the utmost importance. But beware: not all of them are suitable for every type of insect nor can they be used in the same place, so you must choose the right ones whether for your home or garden and for the particular type of pest you wish to get rid of.

Which insecticide should I use?

1. The first thing you have to do is seek out an insecticide that is not very harmful to your health; so, it must be suitable for inside and outside the home alike.
2. Choose the effective insecticide according to the insect or pest you want to get rid of from your home: There is a wide variety of insecticides on the market, to kill off pests such as cockroaches or ants, wasps, mosquitoes and other flying insects.
3. Opt for renowned brands with high-quality products: There is a wide variety of brands and products on the market; however, not all are trustworthy and yield positive results. Therefore, we recommend the Oro Home insecticides range, which can help you get rid of crawling and flying pests inside and outside your home.

Are you still unsure about which insecticide to go for? At Oro Home, we do the hard work for you! With our insecticide search engine, you choose the insect you want to protect your home from and we will recommend the ideal one for every occasion.

How do you make your clothes stay as soft as they were when you bought them and smelling fresh wash after wash?

Nor in the laundry basket. Why? Because the smell and bacteria will be passed directly onto the clothes that are dry. No matter how the clothes are washed, the damp smell can stay on the clothes, even after they have been washed.

2. Check your pockets before washing your clothes

How many times have you been told this? Quite often, we leave paper, coins or other small objects that can cause the water to get dirty or give off a bad smell, which will spread all over your clothes.

3. Make sure your clothes are dry

No matter how much fabric softener and soap you use, if you put away your clothes before they are completely dry, the smell of dampness will be noticeable right away. Do you usually put your clothes away while they are still damp?

4. Keep your washing machine clean

How often do you clean your washing machine? Remember that a clean washing machine means clean clothes, so it is extremely important to ensure that it is in perfect condition.

5. Use a high-quality detergent and fabric softener

There are endless tips to help you ensure that your clothes are always in the best possible condition, among them those mentioned above. Nevertheless, this will be nowhere near enough if you don´t use products that protect your clothes. You´ll come across plenty of detergents and fabric softeners, but which one should you go for?
