Carpet Cleaning Tips for New Home Owners

Posted on February 22, 2012 by DavidStainberg in Cleaning

When you rent or buy a house the chances are for the place to be pretty uncosy. The reasons for that are many. On the first place, the landlord cannot predict what sort of taste you may have so usually these places are almost empty with purpose. Other thing is that sometimes the tenants are not very dutiful and they damage most of the furniture. Because of such people, some landlords are not ready to supply many things but only the most necessary ones. So, you may need to bring with yourself a carpet, some curtains etc. This means that you will have to take a good care of these which involves a lot of cleaning. (more…)

How to Clean Walls

Posted on February 20, 2012 by lisaheader in Cleaning

The walls in your home will benefit from an occasional dusting. Use a soft cloth on a long-handled broom or brush, or use the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to clear dust and any cobwebs that appear.

For finger marks around light switches and door handles, use a damp cloth dipped in white vinegar. If the marks are quite grimy, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the cloth. For marks elsewhere on walls, try using a gum eraser (this can be found in stores). This may be all that is necessary.

You may decide to wash down your walls instead. Here are some cleaning tips shared by professional cleaners Canning Town to help you keep the walls in your home clean.

It may seem illogical at first, but you should clean walls from bottom to top. As you clean, the washing water will dribble down the wall along with the grime from the top, and the grime will settle farther down the wall, leaving streaks that will be difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

Use plastic covering on the floor if you want to keep the flooring from becoming wet, but cover the plastic in turn with some old fabric – perhaps an old sheet – to avoid slipping.

You will find that, because you are holding your arms up as you clean, dirty water will be running down your sleeves. Avoid this by attaching toweling or other cloth to your wrists with rubber bands, and wear on old shirt.

If you want to transform the dingy surface of the walls in your home, cleaners Canonbury recommend you the following recipe.

The eucalyptus oil in this recipe acts as a cleaning agent, and adds its properties ad an antifungal and antibacterial wash. You need 4 cups of warm water, 2 cups of white vinegar and 20 drops of eucalyptus or tea tree essential oil. Combine ingredients in a bucket. Use a sponge or clean cloth to wipe down the walls, beginning from the bottom and working your way to the top. Have a second sponge or cloth to wipe down the walls after applying the mixture.

Following these steps will provide you clean and good looking walls. This will also improve the look of every room in your home.
