Show answer

Answer 2 ほこりを布ぬのにつけて、舞まい上あがらないようにするため — To make dust stick to the cloth and not fly up

Explanation
The chemical makes dust stick to the cloth, so it does not fly up into the air. It is not for shine or disinfection.
03Using Cleaning Supplies

大理石だいりせきの床ゆかを洗あらいます。使つかってはいけない洗剤せんざいはどれですか。

English translation
You will wash a marble floor. Which detergent must you NOT use?
1. 中性洗剤ちゅうせいせんざい
  Neutral detergent
2. 酸性さんせいの洗剤せんざい
  Acidic detergent
3. 石材せきざい用ようの中性洗剤ちゅうせいせんざい
  Neutral detergent for stone
Show answer

Answer 2 酸性さんせいの洗剤せんざい — Acidic detergent

Explanation
Marble is weak against acid. If you use acidic detergent, the surface dissolves and loses its shine. Use neutral detergent.

ぬれた手てで電源でんげんプラグをさわると、感電かんでんするおそれがある。

English translation
If you touch a power plug with wet hands, you may get an electric shock.
1. ○
  True
2. ×
  False
Show answer

Answer 1 ○ — True

Explanation
Water carries electricity easily, so touching a plug with wet hands causes electric shock. Dry your hands well before touching it.
05Cleaning Different Surfaces

カーペットについたガムは、冷ひやして固かたくしてから取とると、取とりやすい。

English translation
Gum on a carpet is easier to remove if you cool it to make it hard first.
1. ○
  True
2. ×
  False
Show answer
