Window cleaning firm offers cleaning tips? Use a flip flop to remove pet hair: Not got any washing up gloves? Using a (clean!) rubber flip-flop on your furnishings will work just as well. It’s especially useful if (like us) you’re constantly losing flip-flops and end up with odd ones. Use a coffee filter to clean glass or mirrors easily: Ah coffee – you’re the thing that gets us out of bed, and now we’ve discovered you offer so much more. Smarten up grubby windows without any chemicals – just give them a sweep with a clean coffee filter. It works like magic.

Several cleaning advices: DIY machines put a lot of moisture into the carpet, and most don’t have strong enough suction to extract it thoroughly. Make only one pass with the soap and water solution. Make one pass with the neutralizing rinse solution. Then make two or three drying passes with the water off. Wet carpet is a perfect environment for mold and mildew. After you clean your carpets, open the windows, use fans and a dehumidifier, or put the AC on a moderate setting (72 to 78 degrees) to remove excess moisture from the air. Don’t replace the furniture or walk on the carpet until it’s completely dry. This can take up to 12 hours, though six to eight hours is typical.

Soil retardants: Most carpets are now factory-treated with a coating that helps the carpet fibers shed water and spills. The key is cleaning up the spills quickly. Once a carpet is five years old or so, you may need to have it retreated, at least in the high traffic areas. The easiest way to check whether carpet retreatment is necessary is to place a few drops of water on the carpet in the questionable areas and see whether the drops bead up or are absorbed quickly into the fibers. If they are absorbed, it’s time to retreat the carpet. The best retreatment chemicals (and usually the only ones recommended by the manufacturers) are fluorochemical based. Scotchgard or any treatment containing Dupont’s Teflon are made from this material. The treatment should take place after cleaning and, for best results, should be gently brushed into the carpet while it is still damp. Find more info on window cleaner.

Weekly Carpet Maintenance: Simple vacuuming with an upright vacuum will help keep your carpet clean. Though it is often recommended that you vacuum every other day depending on how your carpet is used, twice a week should do the trick. Or better yet, attack your high-traffic areas as much as possible (living rooms, bedrooms, entryways) and leave the lighter traffic regions for later when you have the time for more thorough cleaning. Whether it’s weekly vacuuming or annual steam cleaning, you need to know that inactivity doesn’t excuse your carpet maintenance schedule. Even homeowners who require guests to de-shoe and keep pets and children off the carpet must still complete a basic maintenance schedule to remove dust particles that can dig into and cut down fibers, destroying the carpet’s durability.
