There are some people who love to clean. The process helps them relax and unwind from a stressful day. For the rest of us who don’t enjoy it so much, here are some tips to help you get it done faster.
This may sound funny but it is a great trick. Tall windows tend to get avoided because they’re complicated to clean. The result is a dingy looking home. Fix this by attaching a microfiber cloth to the head of your mop. Spray it lightly with your favorite cleaner and, viola! You get clean windows fast, without ever taking out the ladder. If that still sounds like too much work, don’t worry you’re not alone. Just call a Las Vegas cleaning company to take care of your windows for you.
Scratches on furniture make the room look dirtier than it is. Lemon oil is a quick solution that fills in little scratches. Rubbing a shelled walnut into the scratches will do the same thing.
Old sponges tend to have residual bad odors from the bacteria living in them. Everyone knows bad smells give the impression of dirtiness. Toss the old ones and get a wire sponge holder for the new ones. The added airflow will help keep your sponges fresh longer.
When baseboards get a buildup of dust and dirt, the whole room looks dingier. Use dryer sheets to battle this issue. The texture holds dust and dirt as you clean while the antistatic nature of the cloth keeps it away longer.
Any area that looks disorganized looks dirty to your guests. Beautify electrical cords with the clips from bread bags. Use hairspray lids as containers for anything that tends to clutter a counter top or drawer.
When you open your refrigerator, is there an odor? If so, add newspaper. Seriously, line the drawers of the fridge with newspaper then cover the paper with an old place mat. Not only can you add a creative pop of color to your fridge, while the newspaper absorbs odors. The place mats also help keep your fruits and veggies dry.
Anything that shines gives the appearance of being extra clean. Add a drop or two of baby oil to a microfiber cloth and polish metal surfaces until they shine.
No one wants to use stale smelling towels and linens. Fix this by using a homemade odor eater. Take a jar and punch holes in the lid. Fill it halfway with baking soda and at least 10 drops of your favorite essential oil. You’ll have a super fresh smelling closet again in no time.
One of the biggest contributors to a dirty home is pet hair. It gets stuck in the furniture and carpets and never seems to go away. Oddly, try a windshield sweeper. The frayed edges are great for pulling up pet hair. You can also call one of the cleaning companies Las Vegas trusts to get the job done right.
