When taking the services of a home cleaning company, ensure
that their cleaners are insured and they provide all cleaning supplies and
equipment necessary for the job. A good idea is to ask the company whether
their home cleaners are vetted and customer recommended.
The secret to happiness: Not having to clean your house
thoroughly will remove a lot of stress in your life and also will free up a lot
of time for you!
Tips for Mopping Timber Floors
Timber flooring is very appealing, but you’ll have to take extra care to maintain it in good shape. Avoid the use of hot water on wood floors, and wipe out all traces of water after cleaning. Wet patches will stain the wood and can even result in expanded and warped boards.
Mats are to be placed at outside and inside of exterior
doors to avoid dirt and germs entering your home. If you don’t remove the shoes
at the doorstep, the tracked-in dirt could spoil a wood floor's finish.
Put floor protectors under furniture and rugs in children’s
play areas to avoid getting marks and scratches on the wood floor. While
vacuuming, give utmost care to prevent scratches- use only floor-brush
attachment to the vacuum cleaner, not the beater bar attachment. Ensure that
you are using the correct mop and mopping technique while cleaning timber
floors.
One should understand that the weekly dust mopping won’t
remove the stubborn dirt, pet stains, oil, and grime build up and scratch marks
on a wooden flooring. For this, take the services of a professional home cleaning
company which uses appropriate cleaning products. Trying to clean a very dirty
wooden floor yourself with the help of DIY tips using sandpaper, steel wool, or
harsh chemicals will result in permanent damage to the soft finish.
Removing Germs from Your Kitchen
Make it a point to keep your kitchen tables and countertops clutter
free. When cooking raw meat and fish, avoid using cloth towels as they hold
more germs- keep disposable towels handy. After preparing meat and fish, it’s
advisable to disinfect your kitchen sink to prevent the growth of germs and
harmful bacteria. Keep the knives,
spoons and plates dry so as to avoid mould growth.
Kitchen floor is another vulnerable spot easily infected by
large colonies of germs, so daily cleaning is a must. Make use of an
antibacterial and disposable mopping system to make your kitchen floors
sparkling without germs.
Lastly, clean all the surfaces in the kitchen and dispose of
food leftovers after the meals. Wash the dishes or put them in the dishwasher.
Once all areas including stovetop are cleaned, clean and disinfect the sink and
faucet. Remember to regularly clean the sponges if you use them in the kitchen.
Organising Your Bedroom
Every day morning one should make the bed, and declutter the
bedroom. Put away dirty clothes, and ensure that reading materials, glasses,
dishes, toys, etc. go to their proper places.
If you have sufficient time and
the mood to clean the bedroom yourself rather than calling a professional
cleaner, then do the following on a weekly basis:
Dust the dressers, vanities, nightstand,
picture frames, armours and chests; sweep and clean the floor- or if carpets
and rugs are there, vacuum them.
And on a monthly basis, you can do the following to keep the
bedroom neat and tidy:
Remove the curtains and wash them. Rotate and flip the mattress to prevent
sagging in the areas mostly used while sleeping – for this, rotate the mattress
90 degrees and then raise it on its edge, and lower the mattress over so that
the other side comes upward. Don’t
forget to vacuum underneath the bed and open the windows and doors to allow all
the dust and dirty air out.
