Wooden furniture cleaning part 2 (dust)

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

More than five thousand different materials including skin flakes, pet hair, human hair, food bits, pollen grains, spores, insect parts, sawdust and clothing fibres combine to make the dust that settles on every surface in your homes.

We from Home Cleaning always try to maintain a satisfactory level of cleaning which results in your home being take cared off from our home cleaners so that you can feel the fresh aroma breeze inside you house.

Instruction of cleaning dust from different wooden surfaces:

*Feather duster are great for cleaning blinds as long as you make sure to shake the duster outside frequently. A dry dust cloth just moved the dust or suspends it therefore always put a few drops of water on the cloth before cleaning the dust. An alternative is if you use a just-damp duster the dust will cling to your cloth and disappear to ever when you wash it in the washing machine.

*When dusting a room it is good idea to make your work efficient enough so it takes you a minimum amount of time to clean the dust of the room. To cut down on the time dusting takes, vacuum everything first including furniture, walls, windows, upholstery. Vacuuming removes a lof of the dust without creating a dust storm while cleaner is in the process of cleaning.

*Follow up with a damp cloth and the room should be dust free for a while until the next time come for dust cleaning.

Note: Home cleaning recommends your house should be dusted once a week for sensitive people, once every two weeks matching a regular house cleaning.

*Microfibre cloths are great at holding onto the dus, because they have so many extra fibres. Generally, a little water on the just-damp cloth is all it takes.

*If you have to deal with a great deal of grease, a multi-purpose surface cleaner is used, provided that the home cleaner has checked beforehand if the cleaning solution is ’safe’ to use for the particular surface which is to be dust cleaned.

Ceramic tiles cleaning

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

The beauty of ceramic tiles, besides their attractive appearance is their durability and low maintainance. An alcohol-and-water solution is usually all that’s needed to keep ceramic tiles shining, assuming that they were properly sealed during installation. If you are not sure of this get in touch with our expert cleaners and we will help you with your home cleaning right away.

We from HomeCleaning.org.uk has provided to our cleaners several an instruction manual for cleaning ceramic tiles that will safely clean any ceramic surfaces without damaging their protective sealant. We encourage all our customers to cleaning their ceramic tile floor and bathh regularly. It is important so that tracked-in dirt isn’t able to build up and scratch through the ceramic’s protective sealant.

Home Cleaner Cleaning Instructions

1. Clean ceramic floor tiles

*Begin with removing loose dirt using vacuum cleaner, a broom, or an oil free dust mop.
*Add an all-purpose floor cleaner (our home cleaners use quality cleaning substances).
*Avoid products that contain natural waxes. The wax can penetrate into the grout (the substance in the seams between the tiles) and cause it to discolour.
*Rinse twice with clean water to remove any chemicals that could break down the sealant.
*When the water rinses clean, dry the floor with a clean, soft cloth.

2. Clean ceramic wall tiles

*Wipe ceramic tiles down using all-purpose cleaner.
*If in the bathroom use sink/bath cleaner.
*Areas such as the shower surround and the sink back splash which collect soap scum and spatters, may need more frequent attention, especially in a large house hold.

Note: We from Home Cleaning recommend floors and bathrooms to be cleaned once every week.

3. Clean the grout between tiles

*Cleaning grout will make shiner and better looking.
*Mix together 30ml of vinegar with 3 liters of water and scrub the grout with a toothpaste or nylon scrubbing pad.
*Don’t use steel wool, because it will make scratches on the surface – very effective and at the same time low cost cleaning technique.

Carpet Cleaning – Vacuum cleaning, steam cleaning, shampoo cleaning (Part 2)

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

If your carpet is old, dirty and beaten up you don’t necessarily have to buy a new one. Our home cleaning experts will treat your carpet with professional care, making it clean, free of spots and stains, usable for many more years.

Our home cleaners use the most gentle and universal cleaning substances for making sure your carpet does get damaged.

Instructions:

1. Test cleaning solutions on a carpet

*Be sure to blot, not rub, at the stains.
*Before moving from one step to the next, test the cleaning substance on an inconspicuous area of carpet.
*Put a little of the treatment on the carpet.
*Let it sit for about 10 mins and blot with a clean white rag.
*Inspect the rag for any dye from the carpet and inspect the carpet for any damage.
*If a wool carpet doesn’t respond to water and a mild soap then use steam cleaning.

2. Stains removal techniques

Note: Always rinse well between steps!

*[Blot up liquid spills promptly then dilute what remains with water and blot some more. Optional - dilute using plain mineral water]
*[Try a general-purpose spot cleaner. Mix one tea spoon of mild washing-up with 100ml of warm water. Blot it on the spot. Rinse well with clean water.]
*[Use a solution of 15ml of ammonia and 50ml of water on spots, blood and chocolate.]
*[Try 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water on mildew stains and spills with a strong residual odour, such as urine.]
*[Try full-strenght 3 per cent hydrogen peroxide on tomato-based stains, red drinks, alcoholic drinks, fruit juice, grass cotton bud and press into the stain. Use a fresh cotton bud to lift off the solvent and the dissolved stain.]
*[Use methylated spirits full strenght on oily stains, ballpoint pen ink, candle wax residue and grass stains. Use the cotton bud treatment, as above.]

3. Special situations

*Oily spills – mayonnaise, salad dressing and butter, try saturating the spot with cornflour, a good absorbent. Allow it to dry, then vacuum.

*Candle wax – use a warm iron over a sheet of greaseproof paper to take up as much wax as possible. Then dab on methylated spirits. If there is still a stain, move on to the general-purpose spot cleaner (go through the second stain removal technique).

*Pet accidents – First flush the spot with water and blot with an old towel or rag. Then use the general purpose spot treatment (go through the second stain removal technique). Rinse that with the vinegar mixture (go through the forth stain removal technique).Rinse again with water and blot. Apply 1cm thick layer of dry, clean white rags, towels or paper towels, weight them with a heavy object and allow them to sit for several hours. If there are still damp when you remove them, repeat with a fresh layer of absorbent materials until they come up dry. The odour will not come out as long as any urine remains. Repeat until no smell remains.

* As a last resort take a pair of nail scissors and snip off the very worst of the stained pile. Then leave a small ice cube to melf on spot. The remaining fibres should swell a little to help plug the gap.

This is a small percentage of the skills our home cleaners are able to do. Their’s always a solution for every problem they come across to. This is due to their experties and years of experience providing home cleaning services.
