Cleaning Tips and Tricks by:Joanna Harris

Cleaning is one of the major and most time consuming tasks involved in redecorating a home

. Major cleaning works, like spring cleaning for example, can be done periodically. However, certain cleaning works should be done daily without fail. Regular cleaning helps in the maintenance of a house to a great extent. About half of the work load during spring cleaning can be avoided if a place is maintained in the proper way on a current basis. Every part of the house requires different methods of cleaning. Their proper execution is the key for easy and effective cleaning.

Equipment & Cleaning products

Cleaning equipment plays a major role in making our cleaning work easier. Appropriate usage of equipments and cleaning products is also an important factor in house cleaning. Usage of chemicals for cleaning is up to one's personal wish. Nowadays, more people are opting for natural cleaning methods. However, usage of chemical compounds can't be avoided in some cases as only strong solutions can remove hard stains or simply clean the oven. They are also very helpful in our everyday battle with germs and fungi.

Baking soda is one of the commonly used cleaning agents in our day to day life. Though it doesn't act against germs, baking soda is a wonderful cleaning compound that can be used for variety of purposes. It has strong whitening properties. Disinfectants and phenol compounds, if used, should be handled properly due to their toxic nature. Cleaning equipments like vacuum cleaners, mops, brooms, dusters and brushes should be used in an effective way to remove stains and dusts. Moreover, cleaning equipments should be in good quality and well maintained, cleaned and washed after use if possible.

Cleaning Methods

Major house cleaning works like spring cleaning for example, require proper planning. It will be helpful if a checklist containing different work portions is prepared. In addition to planning, systematic execution of cleaning methods is also the key to finish the work quickly. De-cluttering is the first step before cleaning works can start. Removal of unwanted waste materials will reduce work burden to a great extent. While dusting, it is important to go from top to bottom. Vacuuming should be done only after the completion of all dusting works.

Works like mopping and washing can be easily done with the help of cleaning solutions. Hence it is important to choose the right quality chemicals to finish the work quickly. Special cleaning methods should be undertaken to clean specific stains like pet wastes, food spilling and other hard stains. Proper cleaning knowledge can be obtained from various sources like books, internet, etc. Or you can always ask your grandma to give you some more tips and tricks.
