Don’t Make Life Complicated with Home Cleaning- Life Is Supposed to Make You Feel Good!


Your time is precious and it need not be stressed over the housework, but in our case, home cleaning is our profession and we love to do it to get your home looking just the way you like it.

Follow these steps to make your home smell good: 
  • You’ll get sweet smell in your home by simmering water in a saucepan with citrus slices and herbs, such as lavender or mint. 
  • If you face a stink near the kitchen sink, put a small lump of lemon-scented dish soap, a lemon piece, or a few lime rinds down into the garbage disposal, then run the water, and turn it on. Sometimes the smell may not have been fully removed, so try pouring in half a cup of baking soda and run warm water. 
  • Place sweet smelling candles (without burning them) in the linen closet, or any other place where you have fabrics stored. The lovely fragrance of the candles will be slowly absorbed by the fabrics, giving you a rush of sweet smell every time you open the door. The added advantage is that the linens will also carry the scent with them wherever you use them. 
  • Try to grow at suitable locations in your home indoor plants such as geraniums, corsage orchids, eucalyptus, Arabian jasmine, gardenias, or Cuban oregano, etc., which will purify the air in your home in addition to emitting nice fragrances. 
  • Prepare something in the oven if you have guests at home. The welcoming aroma of fresh baked items fills the house with yummy smells to everyone’s liking. 

How to clean windows and glass effectively

Select Home cleaning service doesn’t provide windows cleaning. However, they have some good tricks and DIY tips to make your windows and glass surfaces sparkle.

Select Home Cleaners recommend natural solutions to give you the best cleaning, without any health hazards to the kids and elderly people. They also take steps to reduce the negative impact on our environment from petrochemicals and solvents. Natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, lemons, and borax are good cleaning agents, so you can rest assured that better results can be obtained without chemical cleaners.

While you can use vinegar to remove built-up water stains on glass, you need some soap which acts as an emulsifier to clean up a bit of dirt and dust on exterior windows or sliding doors. Natural toilet cleaners designed for lime and rust deposits also can be used to remove hard water spots on the outside of windows.

After spraying down the mirrors with cleaning solution, you can use a newspaper to perfectly clean the glass and windows. Finally, use a microfiber cloth to get rid of any last streaks from the glass surface.

Advantages of professional home cleaning

Every nook and cranny of your house needs utmost care when the house cleaning is done. The professionals know which places are to be cleaned thoroughly and which places need less care - less time working on the easier places gives them more time to focus on important areas in the house.

Select Home Cleaning- Top Cleaning Tips for Mirrors and Windows in New Zealand


Glass windows and the mirrors in your home easily accumulate dirt and dust. No matter how often you clean them, they will get dirty. You may clean and rub them meticulously to remove the stains but the glass does not sparkle the way you want them to. You can call Select Home Cleaning who’ll arrange professional window cleaners in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch to remove stubborn elbow grease and lint from glass surfaces. However, some easy regular cleaning of the window or mirror can be done by yourself with the following cleaning tips. 

Here are some top secret ideas on how to keep your window clean! Read on to find them out.
  • Besides top quality window cleaning solutions, you need the right tools. You should use a microfiber cloth, chamois or squeegee to clean the window or glass. You should not use paper towels as the latter will leave streaks on the window or mirror.
  • If you are cleaning glass that is very dirty, you should start by cleaning it with microfiber cloth that has been soaked in an effective cleaning solution. There are many high quality cleaning solutions available in the market and you may take recommendations from professional home cleaners when they come to remove stubborn stains from your mirrors and glass windows. Rub the glass or the window to remove the stains. When finished rub the glass with a crumpled newspaper sheet.
  • If you are using a commercial glass cleaner, it is important for you to opt for products without ammonia. If you have club soda at home or a coffee filter, you may use them to remove stains from the mirror or glass.
  • If you have a cover of wax on the mirror you can clean it by mixing two cups of water, half a cup of liquid dish wash soap and a quartet cup of vinegar. If the glass or the window has a cloudy appearance, you may use some white vinegar, one and a half teaspoon of cornstarch in warm water and alcohol. This mixture can be stored inside a spray bottle. Before every use, shake it and see how it cleans your glass.
  • Another interesting ingredient that removes scratches from mirrors or glass is white toothpaste. After cleaning the glass or the mirror with a cleaning solution, you may polish it with a little bit of white toothpaste. This means you can follow-up and keep your glass and mirrors free from stains after professional window or mirror cleaners have left.
