Cleaning at Home 

Dust and Damp-Wipe

Dust the right way – from top to bottom

When you’re dusting, work with gravity – not against it. That means starting your cleaning at the highest possible levels and working down. Dust settles on ceilings and walls, as well as floors. When you’re dusting bookshelves furniture etc. Start at the top and work down.

You’ll collect dust more effectively if you use the right tools for the job, microfibre cloths trap dust much more effectively than feather dusters and anytime the surface you’re working on allows it, dampen the cloth slightly before you start.

There are a few spots in your home that are real dust traps and often get overlooked, things like plant leaves, window blinds and skirting boards. A little time invested in cleaning them will make a big difference to reducing the levels of dust in your home.

These dusting tips will help to lower allergens and improve your home's air quality. Use a lightly Dampened microfiber pad for high or hard-to-reach spots.

To clean slatted blinds, use the string to close them one way and dust them, then close them the other way and repeat. It's more effective and efficient than cleaning each slat individually.

Don’t forget to clean the tops of doors, fans, light fixtures, picture frames, and knick-knacks. When wiping the face of framed photos, TV screens, and computer monitors, use glass cleaner on your microfiber cloth to avoid streaking.

As you learn how to clean glass shower doors, it’s important to take your time. You’ll improve your efficiency with a little practice.

First, get your cleaning supplies ready. Choose the best shower glass cleaner for your needs. Your supply setup should include the following:

1. Spray bottle

2. Scrub sponge

3. Cleaner of your choice (e.g., baking soda, white vinegar, cleaning solution)

4. Gloves (depending on the cleaner’s ingredients and the amount of scum)

5. Microfibre Cloth or towel

Start by using the shower sprayer to wet the glass doors and walls. You can also use water from a bucket. Then fill a spray bottle with white vinegar or use your choice of bathroom cleaner and completely saturate the glass. Allow it to soak for at least 10 minutes—longer if there’s serious buildup. Next, use a non abrasive scrubbing sponge and scrub the glass.

To finish up, give the doors and walls a rinse with fresh water, and shine the glass using a microfiber cloth and your favorite glass cleaner.

No, abrasive cleaners should be avoided as they can scratch and damage the glass surface. Stick to non-abrasive cleaners and gentle scrubbing methods.
