Tips for Cleaning the Bedroom

Here are some cleaning bathroom tips that are sure to make it gleam and sparkle —

 

First of all attack your shower wall and scrub it until it is free of mold. However if your tiled shower wall is really grimy you might want to fix up the grout before you do any cleaning. Repair the grout if necessary (you can get simple kits to do this at a hardware store.” Once you have touched up the grout, you can then scrub away the remaining filth using a brush and a mixture of one gallon of water to ¾ cup nonchlorine or hydrogen peroxide based bleach. ‘;’

 

To clean porcelain bathtub use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Vim.  Stay away from grainy cleansers and metal scrubbers when cleaning a fiberglass or acrylic tubs.

 

To clean tiled showers try using one of the new self-maintaining spray-on products in stores such as the one made by Lysol. Otherwise you can keep a squeegee in the bathroom and use it after a bath or shower to remove excess water from the walls. For the shower door you can use squeegee and glass vinegar or the much more ecologically correct solution of vinegar and water.

 

Cleaning the shower curtain should also be a part of your cleaning bathroom ritual. If the shower curtain is dirty you can usually just throw it in the washing machine. If the liner of the shower curtain is covered with soap scum then it can also be wiped down with hydrogen peroxide-based bleach solution or a non-chlorinated cleaner of some kind.

 

When cleaning bathroom, a toilet can be made white again using hot water or bleach or with one of the many commercial preparations put on the market for that purpose. If your toilet or showerhead is exposed to hard water you may find that ugly lime stains is a problem. To remove lime stains from your showerhead or the bowl of the toilet use a lime scale remover like CLR.

 

You can clean countertops with an abrasive cleanser. A soak in Clorox bleach can make a sink appear whiter. Use a good glass cleaner such as Windex to polish your taps and other bathroom fixtures to a fine shine. Use Windex or vinegar and water to give your bathroom mirror a streak free finish.

 

The ceiling of a bathroom is often forgotten yet it is a place where moisture often collects thus making it a breeding ground for bacteria. As part of your cleaning bathroom ritual you should always inspect your ceiling for mildew and if you find any wash it away with a non-chlorine or hydrogen peroxide-based bleach solution.

How to Choose A Hardwood Floor Vacuum

If you have a hardwood floors you want to make sure you can take good care of them for ages. This means that the vacuum you by must be able to quickly remove any spills from the floor as fast as possible. You should also choose a vacuum that is powerful enough to remove dust and grit. When dust and grit is stepped on repeatedly it is ground into the hardwood and then scratches it.

 

Hardwood floor vacuums are available in both upright and canister units. It is best to look for a wet/dry floor cleaner. This comes in both canister style and upright units. Nowadays you can find these types of vacuums in light-weight versions that are very easy on the back.  It also helps to choose a light weight model that is handy to drag out and use immediately should any kind of spill happen. Try to look for a vacuum that weighs about ten pounds and you will be more encouraged to use it on a regular basis. I love Hoover vacuums. Their quality is great. If you need a Hoover promo code you can get one at Promo-Codes.com and get some savings.

 

The best vacuums are the wet/dry canisters that stack on top of each other.  The top vessel holds a mixture of hardwood-friendly cleaning solution and the bottom holds the dirty water that is sucked up from the floor.

 

The most technically sophisticated of these machines operate in two modes. You can set them to operate in dry pick up mode and use that to pick up any debris or dust that may already be settled into your hardwood floor. Avoid using any scrubbing attachments that have rotating brushes inside as the whirling of them literally beat up the finish of your floor over time. The dry attachment on a proper hardwood floor vacuum will be hollow and look like a squeegee.

 

It is easy to operate a hoover hardwood floor vacuum in wet mod. You simply fill the top canister to the brim with cleaning solution and water. Most models have caps on their canisters that also can be used as measuring cups so you know exactly how much solution to use. Many of these sophisticated machines have triggers that allow you to release and shoot an extra dose of cleaning solution on the floor tough to clean spots.  As you vacuum clean water is applied to the floor and then sucked immediately back up into the canister so you are not dealing with any mess or danger of slipping on wet floors or rugs.

 

Keep in mind that although these wet/dry hardwood floor vacuums are amazing none of them work too well on planked floors or ones that are crooked or have rough spots or edges.
