If you have plans to deep clean your home, here are two tips which you may find helpful.
De-clutter before you begin
Nothing slows down the progress of a deep-cleaning session more than clutter. If every table, dresser, countertop, windowsill and shelf in your home is covered with trinkets, framed pictures, books and gadgets, it will take you considerably longer to dust and polish these surfaces as you will be forced to move these items out of the way, one by one, before you can start cleaning.
If you want your home to be sparkling clean, the bathroom is a great place to start. The bathroom gets a lot of use over the course of a typical day, and regular cleaning helps you stay one step ahead of the stains, and the smells.
When it comes to a big job like cleaning the bathroom, the right preparation can make a world of difference. If you would rather spend your day doing other things, taking a systematic approach to cleaning the bathroom can reduce the time you have to spend.
Fabric lounge suites are the preferred choice for many Australians. The fabric provides a warm and soft place to recline, which many people like better than leather or vinyl-covered lounge suites. Unfortunately, fabric upholstery is more difficult to clean than other upholstery types. It's also more absorbent, which means that as well as dirt and stains, nasty health hazards can build up on the surface of the fabric and also within the inner parts of the lounge suite's padding.
While cleaning for a living isn't usually viewed as a cool career move, there are many benefits to working in the commercial cleaning industry—particularly while you're young and physically fit. To help persuade your teen to seriously consider putting down their phone and picking up a scrubbing brush, here are five benefits of getting a casual job as a cleaner.
Learn self-sufficiency
While it may be a few years before your teen is leaving the family nest, now is the time to really nail down the basics of living a self-sufficient life.
Just tossing all your dirty clothes in the washer, setting the water temperature to warm, and putting everything in the dryer together is a sure-fire way to ruin your entire wardrobe. Some clothing materials are not meant to be washed in warm water or cannot withstand the agitation of a standard washing machine, and the heat and tumbling of a dryer can also ruin certain fabrics and materials. Note, too, that some stains may actually become set in and permanent if you don't address them properly.
