Cleaning the house after repair

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Web publisher

After experiencing repair, look forward to life in the updated interior? We will tell you how to get rid of dust and stains and bring the room into a residential condition in a short time.

Tip:

Even if you decide to do without the help of cleaning professionals, we recommend that you buy or rent specialized equipment. A professional vacuum cleaner will help to cope with building dust on the floor, walls and ceiling faster and more efficiently. Of course, you can use it only on the surfaces provided for this, having pre-tested it on a small and subtle area.

Key points:

Hiring professionals to clean the premises, discuss in advance the details of the work and ask for an estimate
Cleaners will help clean and disinfect your floor
Use an aqueous solution of baking soda to wash dusty windows

Tip:

Hooray! You survived the repair! The worst is already behind and there was, it would seem, a trifle – to wash your new wonderful interior from a layer of construction dust and stains of various origins, that is, a spring cleaning. Looking around the debris of construction debris and wincing at the dust, you are horrified to imagine that it will take a very long time to put everything in order. We will not hide, the work is difficult, but we will help to ease your work!

Сleaning company

The easiest way to deal with dirt after construction and repair is to hire professionals from a cleaning company to clean houses and cottages. However, the company should be chosen very carefully:

Do not trust cleaning companies-one-day – letting strangers into the house is dangerous. A professional company with a good reputation will be able to guarantee not only a quality work done, but also the safety of your things.
Listen to the recommendations of friends and user reviews.
Do not pursue cheapness! Initially, the attractive price promised to you can increase several times after the work is done unclean by the hand specialists. Describe in detail the specialist the front of the work and ask him to make an estimate.

If you are determined to cope with the task yourself, listen to our advice.

How can I cope with cleaning the room after repair?

Experts recommend keeping the room as clean as possible during the repair. Afterwards it will save you a lot of time. “It’s easier said than done”, you’ll notice, so roll up your sleeves and proceed directly to the cleaning:

First you need to take out all that is superfluous. Fold the large garbage into bags and take it out into the street. If it turns out to be too much, you will have to take it to the nearest landfill. Then collect less garbage and sweep the floor.
Vacuum the surfaces. If you have the opportunity, use a construction vacuum cleaner – it is much more powerful and faster to cope with the task. Corrosive construction dust could settle even on the ceiling and walls, so start vacuuming from above, moving down the walls, and finishing cleaning the floor. Do not forget to vacuum the corners and the skirtings.
With the help of cleaning and detergents, make a damp cleaning of the room, starting with the walls, cornices and windows and ending with the floor.
Even if the soft furniture has been carefully concealed, it should be carefully cleaned using a vacuum cleaner, a cleaning agent or a soap solution.
Thoroughly ventilate the room.

With a successful scenario, cleaning the apartment will be completed. But, unfortunately, except for dust and debris, after repairs there will probably remain stains from paint, plaster and the like.

How to get rid of stains left after repair?

Before you start cleaning, test the cleaning agents and recipes you have selected on a small and subtle area of the surface to avoid damage. When working with cleaning agents and solutions, do not forget to wear rubber gloves.

Traces of construction foam can be removed with a knife or special solvent.
Dust and dirt from the windows can be removed with water with the addition of washing soda, and then wipe dry with newspapers.
Oil stains will disappear without a trace if rubbed with turpentine or powder with enzymes.
Traces of scotch can be removed with sunflower oil or a liquid containing acetone.

That’s all! Now you can arrange furniture, distribute things to places and enjoy your improved home!

Residential and Rental Home Cleaning Tips

Posted on September 12, 2017 by Owner

Engaging a professional home cleaning service can surely keep your abode perfectly spic and span throughout the year and also keep you completely free for attending to your own business. But hiring a holiday rental cleaning agency on a long-term basis could also burn a hole in your pocket. You can go DIY when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of your home or an additional abode that you let out as a holiday accommodation to tourists and travelers.

You can abide by the following home cleaning tips that are taken advantage of by professional cleaners and speed up the tidying process in your own home without compromising on the quality of course.

Always schedule before getting started

Almost all skilled and experienced professional cleaners always follow one golden rule when it comes to home cleaning or rental cleaning and that is drawing up a schedule. Preparing a plan on how to wish to go about the entire process will help to complete the job sooner than you expect and believe it or not, you’ll be surprised at the results.

Invest in essential cleaning kit and tools

When we talk about home cleaning tools, we do not mean the ones that you see in sci-fi movies and TV ads that are shown with monotonous regularity in between sitcom breaks. Dump the rackety and worn out sponge mop and go for cotton or terry cotton wipes and dusters. Buy a handy vacuum cleaner with additional attachments for pulling out the dust from deep inside sofa covers and underneath the wardrobes.

Investing in versatile and resourceful house cleaning implements will stand you in good stead for years to come.

Dress up

You could be forgiven for having the impression that employees under the payroll of professional cleaning company wear uniform largely to appeal to your aesthetics. Most people think in a similar manner. Contrary to what you and most people think, home cleaning professionals dress up to do the job effectively and also to feel comfortable while they’re at it.

Just check out the items they put on starting from knee pads to shoes and from gloves to goggles to protect themselves from toxic chemicals. An apron is indispensable for housing tools and keeping supplies handy so that you do not have to run helter-skelter in search of the same. Garb yourself in a proper uniform that covers you from neck to ankle.

Keep all your cleaning tools ready

Any rental cleaning project is back breaking and hectic in itself. On top of that if you have to run up and down the stairway, and from one room to another umpteen times, you’ll get bogged down much before you’re done with cleaning. Keep a tote-box or tray handy where you can store all necessary tools including rags, mops, brushes, and cleansers.

Declutter and organize first

Ask yourself honestly whether you’ll be able to proceed with the cleaning project smoothly if the floors, furniture, counters, tabletops, and other surfaces are in a state of absolute mess. First clear the paper shreds, toys, soiled dishes, and dirty clothes from each and every horizontal surface before you get hold of the cleaning brush.

Six Condominium Cleaning Tips

Posted on August 13, 2014 by owner

Condominiums can be found in a number of different sizes and shapes. However, there is one basic strategy that can help cleaning them all. At times, you would find a good amount of time for cleaning the empty condominium. However, at other times, the cleaning needs to be completed rather immediately. Irrespective of whether the condominium cleaning is done in a hurry or at leisure, there should be a specific plan for execution. And this plan is necessary not just for commercial cleaning but for personal cleaning as well. This will reduce the amount of the time otherwise consumed to a great extent in cleaning the condominium just so that everyone can view it and also appreciate it.

Here are a few instructions that will help you in condominium cleaning:

1. The balconies are to be swept with whisk broom. The cobwebs formed on the hand railings should be swept away.

2. The light covers should be detached and the accumulated dust and bugs should be removed. A duster should be used for dusting the chandeliers and ceiling fans. The trim on windows and doors should be dusted including that of the window ledges. The blinds are to be dusted along with the steps and interior hand railings. All vents should be dusted. The dashboards should be dusted as well. The built in shelves should as well be cleaned with a duster. Wipe the hand prints off on the door knobs and switches with the help of paper towel to ensure a proper condominium cleaning.

3. The windows should be wiped down, and also the front screen door and sliding glass door. The cleaning should be done with paper towel and window cleaner which will leave them free of streak.

4. The top of the refrigerator should be dusted along with the interiors and the top of cabinets. Make use of a vacuum cleaning on the cabinet interiors when necessary. Prepare a cleaning liquid or solution that should be made with a quarter cup baking soda to quarter cup water. A piece of clean cloth can be taken for cleaning the outside and inner side of the fridge with this solution. Paper towels can be used to wipe dry. The dishwasher should be turned on without dishes inside following which paper towels can be used to clean dry the fridge. Use paper towels and disinfectant spray for cleaning the backsplash and wiping the sink and the counter. Collect the used towels in garbage bag. If the oven is provided with self cleaning system, it should be let on. When it has cooled down, the ash can be wiped away with paper towel. In case there isn’t any self cleaning system available, it should be cleaned with oven cleaner.

5. A bathroom cleaner can be used for cleaning the tub and shower and shower curtain. Following this they should be wiped with paper towel. The countertop and the sink can be cleaned using a disinfectant. This will ensure quality condominium cleaning.

6. Tile cleaner can be used for mopping any floor. Hardwood floors should be mopped with hardwood floor cleaners and carpeted areas should be vacuumed.

Tips for Clearwater residents, get ready for Spring Cleaning

Posted on February 14, 2012 by owner

Whether you are a housewife, househusband and especially if you work as well as having to do housework you can save a lot of time with a little preparation for spring cleaning.

It may be tempting to just get in a Clearwater cleaning service company but you can do a lot of the work yourself if you plan and get organized. First of all you need to be honest about how much time you really will find and how much work there is to do. Make a list of jobs and look at which will take the most time. You will be most likely to find time for lots of smaller jobs so take a look at bigger jobs and also any jobs that could be done better with better equipment than you have available.

These kind of jobs are likely to include carpet cleaning and steam cleaning and you may want to get in a local Clearwater cleaning service for these to save you time and to do a better job with professional equipment. If these jobs need to be done before or after other jobs make sure you plan when they will be done and plan everything else around them; you may want to look up Clearwater cleaning services online or in your local Yellow Pages and book someone as soon as possible to ensure they will be available.

One of the first jobs you will want to do is to de-clutter and tidy, this will leave it clear for all other jobs. You can though save a lot of time by simply putting things away rather than simply dropping them around the place in the weeks running up to your cleaning and get your family members or housemates to do the same. This may also include tidying away things that have been in the wrong place for some time by picking things up as you go between rooms while going about your daily routine.

Getting in the right supplies is of course very important, if you do use a local Clearwater cleaning service for some of the cleaning they will bring a wide selection of cleaning products but you will need supplies for the parts of your spring clean you plan to complete. The easiest thing is to get items when you are doing a weekly shop but this means planning ahead so list what you will need for each task.

Even after all of this planning you may want to put off your spring clean or get in a Clearwater cleaning services company to do it instead: the trick is to try and make the cleaning as enjoyable as possible. This could mean promising yourself a treat when the job is done but also setting up some entertainment while you are working. Set up music on a MP3 player with the right kind of upbeat music to listen to as you work or if you have a tablet computer you could even load a favourite movie or TV show to move around with you as you clean your home so you are never without entertainment, even when reorganising your loft.

Look out for your family’s health with a comprehensive cleaning regime

Posted on November 12, 2011 by owner

Different people have different ideas about cleaning their home and different ideas about why it is important. For some people having a home that looks bright and sparkling clean is important, for others it is all about how healthy a home is and making sure it really is clean but the two things aren’t always the same.

In reality you will probably want a home that both looks clean and is clean and healthy but the types of cleaning needed to make a house a healthy home may not be quite what you are doing.

With trying to make your home look presentable you may well have a lot of things tidied away, but do you still clean and dust these? You may also clean and polish the most obvious surfaces but worry less about those that can’t be seen.

Surfaces that can’t be seen can still affect your health, especially if mold starts growing anywhere. Dust and bacteria growing in your home are serious but mold is perhaps more serious. Mold can grow anywhere in your home including cellars and lofts but the spores once airborne can get anywhere and you and your family can inhale them without knowing. Mold once in the lungs can cause chest infections, lead to asthma and weaken your immune system.

If you use a professional cleaning service you will have the advantage of having cleaners who know exactly where mold is likely to grow and what conditions mold likes, damp and certain sources of food, they will therefore seek out and remove mold and any sources of food for them, such as food debris under kitchen cupboards, that they could start growing on.

Dust is a problem as well of course and again not just that which can be seen; a cleaning service will give a home a thorough clean to remove all traces of dust. Getting rid of dust often involves moving furniture, and taking time dusting delicate items, you probably don’t have time to do this as regularly as you would like, at least once a week, with a cleaning service though you won’t have to worry about fitting cleaning into your busy schedule.

To really minimize dust and bacteria in your home you may want to get in a professional carpet cleaner once or twice a year: your vacuum cleaner can only suck up lose dust and dirt close to the surface, a professional carpet cleaner will penetrate deep into the carpet and underlay and also remove ingrained dirt.

If you are choosing a cleaning service another thing that is important to your family’s health is to choose a service that uses natural products where possible and minimizes the use of chemicals, which themselves can be bad for you. Vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda are all good cleaning products that are safe to breath and leave a safe residue. A chemical residue on kitchen surfaces can not only taint food but also be bad for health; excessive use of bleach and other chemicals leaves an odor that can burn the eyes and throat.

Natural cleaning products prove to be better for the environment and your family

Posted on October 21, 2011 by owner

All those constantly new and improved cleaning products advertised on TV and filling supermarket shelves, and quite possibly the cupboard under your sink: are they really necessary? Through the scent that has been added you can still smell the fumes of noxious chemicals and bleach: they certainly aren’t good for the environment and a lot of what you use does get washed down the drain. If these cleaning products aren’t good for the environment you also have to ask whether they are really good for you and your family when they get left on your worktops, floors and other surfaces.

Clearwater cleaning services are a professional cleaning company and they don’t use these chemical based cleaning products unless they really have to. You would be amazed perhaps then just how much Clearwater cleaning services can do with some vinegar, lemon juice and some baking powder. All these ingredients are edible and of course harmless to the environment. Making a sandwich on a worktop cleaned with lemon juice is going to mean that slight flavor from residue after cleaning is a lot more pleasant than when food picks up that slightly chemically taste from the worktop spray you normally use.

Lemon Juice and Vinegar are importantly antiseptic so they kill germs, they may not kill as many bugs as some anti bacterial cleaners but, as doctors now advise, an environment that is too clean is actually bad for us. No bacteria, especially for children, means we build up no immune system and are more at risk of catching serious germs and being badly affected by them.

The acid in vinegar or lemon juice does much more than just killing germs however and are important weapons in the Clearwater cleaning services arsenal. Lemon Juice is great for polishing and getting rid of stains on some metals including copper and brass and also stains on clothes and fabrics. Lemon juice also deodorizes of course so is great for cleaning bins and cleaning worktops and chopping boards that have been used for things such as fish.

Vinegar is particularly used by Clearwater cleaning services when they clean bathrooms. Vinegar is better than almost any commercial cleaning product for removing soap scum from around taps and in the bath. Though the smell of the vinegar isn’t as pleasant as the lemon it is a lot better than bleach or other products that make your eyes go red and get into your lungs making it hard to breath. Vinegar in the bathroom and the kitchen can even get rid of those mould and mildew stains on sealant and grouting that you thought would never go, there’s also the fact of course that vinegar is cheap so you don’t have to watch how much you use that can also make things easier.

Clearwater cleaning services also find Baking Soda very useful, unlike vinegar or lemon juice doesn’t deodorize by over-powering other smells but it actually absorbs odor. Using baking soda in the fridge will collect up all those smells that intermingle and create a bit of a stink: this can also stop strong foods like cheese contaminating the taste of others. Baking soda is great for removing stains as well though and also burnt on and caked on grease and food making it perfect for cleaning your oven.

The bits of cleaning your home that need a little extra time

Posted on October 1, 2011 by owner

Though you may be house proud there are some bits of cleaning that just get left, many of them are too time consuming or too difficult to do without extra equipment. In the time some jobs that will be barely noticed by others take, you could clean an entire room, but these jobs are ones you will still be aware of and ones that do need doing eventually. Many of these jobs are best done by a cleaning service as otherwise the time taken seems barely worthwhile and is difficult to fit into ones schedule, this simply means they get left and get worse: with bathtubs especially the longer left the worse the job becomes and so rather than assuming you will find time it may be best to get a cleaning service in straight away.

One of these jobs best done by a cleaning service is deep cleaning carpets, carpets with underlay won’t be completely cleaned with a vacuum: especially if you have floorboards over a crawl space. If your vacuum cleaner can’t make a vacuum then not all dirt will be sucked up: dirt and bacteria seep down into your carpet’s base and underlay: killing this bacteria that can otherwise cause odors requires a steam cleaner, that steam cleaner must be powerful enough to get down deep but hot enough that it will kill bacteria and so that the carpet will dry quickly.

Another job that seems to take an eternity is dusting the tops of the books in your library and elsewhere. Books may be associated with dust but wherever dust is it is bad for health and doesn’t look good either. If all books were soft bound and the same size the job would be easier but even then it is difficult to remove rather than just move around the dust. Rather than rushing the job it may be worth getting a cleaning service in to do the job for you.

Cleaning the bath tub is a job that should either be done every time it is used or will get to the point where it will take hours. What often happens with baths is that the grease and lime scale that build up on them is simply bleached: this is all many bath cleaning products do in fact but the dirt and bacteria is still there and will quickly show up again. To remove grease and lime scale from a bath tub there is no alternative to hard work, for someone at least.

Polishing brass is another job that to do properly takes time, brass will tarnish quickly at first but then can take much longer before becoming very dirty. Of course the more items are used and handled the more often they must be polished. As for silverware, cutlery and kitchenware need to be polished every time they are used: it is very tempting to put them away and polish them before next using them but the job is much easier if done straight away.

Oven cleaning is one of the least pleasant and most time consuming jobs. As the oven can’t be moved you have to move yourself to its level meaning the work is particularly good for getting a sore back; an oven’s shelves can be soaked sadly the oven itself cannot be treated in the same way. A maid cleaning service can send along someone with experience cleaning ovens and all the best products to remove baked on grime.

Environmentally Green Cleaning of your House

Posted on July 14, 2011 by owner

House cleaning and home cleaning can be fun and healthy when using the right products in cleaning. Green cleaning or environmental safe cleaning is a smart and healthy way to clean a house or office the safe, nontoxic way. This cleaning method uses environmentally-friendly ingredients to help preserve health and the environment. These products are available for sale at several stores; however, there are home-made recipes which can be used for the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Safe cleaning is a single step taken to lessen the harm to the environment brought about by modernization.

Some people refer green cleaning as the use of all natural cleaning materials like lemon, baking soda and vinegar to do office and house cleaning. These three ingredients are the best cleaning products for the kitchen which are highly affordable. Baking soda is remarkably effective bleach and can be used to remove stains and scours in surfaces. It is an effective deodorizer too. Similar to baking soda, vinegar has deodorizing ability. It also cleanses and disinfects; however it should be diluted because too much acidity can destroy tiles and other surfaces. Lemon is another cleanser and deodorizer. It effectively removes water deposits and soap scums.

There are several safe products which are available in the market and are ready for use. These commercial green cleaning products are recommended when doing office or house cleaning. Most offices do not have a kitchen thus home-made mixtures are not available and inconvenient to make. There’s nothing wrong with buying a commercial environmental clean product. An advantage of using commercial green cleaning products is that it is ready to use without the hassle of mixing and measuring. In fact, commercial cleaning products clean as effective as homemade products with fewer scrubs or effort.

With the increasing demand of environmental safe products, numerous manufacturers are packaging their products to be green whether it is truly green or not. A cleaning product may claim to be eco-friendly. There could be enough natural and organic ingredients to pass the government standards to qualify to be green, but when counterchecked, the product is not as healthy as its label suggests.

A commercial cleaning product considered “green” comes from natural or bio-based elements. This means that the product is derived from a natural source like from extracts or oils. Oils could come from fruits, seeds, nuts, vegetables and other plant matter. On the other hand, cleaning products that come from petroleum distillates or crude oils are not “green”, and are dangerous to human health.

Environment safe cleaning products takes into primary consideration the effect on a person’s health and safety. Such products should be formulated to promote the health safety in the building’s occupant first. Environmental friendliness of such products is the second priority when formulating the product.

It would tremendously help to the environment if everyone uses green cleaning solution in office and house cleaning. Although there has been a significant progress in using the green cleaning, there is still a long way to go to save the environment. Environment approach is just a step of it, and there’s still more to come.
