How to make home cleaning easy for you with tips from HouseProud Glenhaven
Wednesday, December 21, 2011
When deciding where to begin cleaning your cluttered home, start with the areas that tend to go be the quickest to clean such as the dining and living rooms. Eliminating clutter cuts down the need to clean because an uncluttered home looks better than a home that is dust-free.
Clean faster by conentrating on your tasks at hand, do as many tasks in one area before movng to the next, to ensure you clean thoroughly and effectively. Ensure you dust before you vacuum your carpets, by starting at the door of each room and working around the room in one direction.
Mopping can be physcially demanding and to help make the mopping process easy for you HouseProud recommends you use dust mops as they pick up more dirt and are well suited to the smooth, glassy finishes used on wood and non-wax floors. To cover the floor more quickly, buy a 44cm dust mop. Do not use an oiled dust mop as they ruin a waxed surface.
More floors are washed than worn away. You shold wring out your mop until almost dry and excess water will penetrate the seams of flooring, raise the grain and make wood rough. To make things even more effective when washing fllors use your plastic kitchen tidy bin as your mop bucket, therefore you can clean the bin at the same time.
It is important to clean your home when it is dirty, not becuase it is time. When cleaning if you do not notice a difference in the cleanliness of your home then stop! If you can not do the cleaning yourself then call HouseProud on 1300 880 198!
