Spring clean in one day

Spring clean in one day!

August 29, 2019/0 Comments/in News, Uncategorized /by Vicki Tidswell

To most people, spring cleaning is a dreaded yearly chore. But there are simpler ways of spring cleaning your house, in under 8 hours.

Firstly, prepare before you start

Planning your spring clean is key in achieving an effective spring clean. You will need to schedule a full day of cleaning, where you won’t be distracted by any interruptions.

  • Make sure you have the right cleaning products available as well as bags for rubbish.
  • Ask for helpers – the more hands the better. Maybe you could help your friends spring clean their home on another day in return.
  • Write out your plan before you start. Remember you only have 8 hours to spring clean!
  • On a piece of paper, list each room in your home.
  • Write down the list of tasks you will need done for each room.
  • Allocate a time against each room, ie. how long will you spend?
  • Allocate a person or people to tackle the spring cleaning in each room.

Get started!

The day has arrived. Your cleaning products and helpers are ready to go. With a plan of attack listed, it’s time to get started.

  • Stick to the plan. If you come across tasks that are not listed, write them down as a separate job to tackle at a later date.
  • Motivate your workers, if you’ve been lucky enough to get helpers. Provide food/snacks along the way.
  • Remove garbage bags as you go.
  • After each room is done, close each room door so you know you’ve completed that room. It also provides a sense of achievement to then move onto the next room.
  • Make it fun – cleaning is a great form of exercise as well. So no gym that day!
  • At the end of the day, sit back and enjoy your achievements!

Top ten spring cleaning tips!

TIP 1: Clean your microwave

Squeeze one lemon with 1/2 cup of water. Combine into a mug and place in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. Let it stand for 3 minutes. Open the microwave and wipe down all areas, including the tray. The steam will loosen the grime and make it easier to wipe and remove stubborn marks and stains.

TIP 2: Clean shower head build up

Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar and place over the showerhead with a rubber band and leave it overnight. This will get rid of build-up of grime and mould. Make sure you run the shower before you use it again.

TIP 3: Clean window smudges and dirt

Into a spray bottle, mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of soap into a spray bottle. Spray mixture onto the glass and wipe down with newspaper to remove any streaks which form on the mirror. This is a great way to make use of old newspapers.

TIP 4: Pack away seasonal clothes for more storage

If your dressers and drawers are full of mess, then you are storing too much stuff at once and only causing more frustration when looking for clothes to wear. Go through all your clothes twice yearly and store away clothes that you know will not be used until the next change of season. Stacking them vertically provides more space and also easier to pull out again when ready to use.

TIP 5: Clean you carpets and upholstery

Don’t ruin your furniture and carpets by using the wrong cleaning products. Read the manufacturers label (if provided) before commencing the clean. If you’re not confident, get the experts in – they have the expertise in using the most suitable products for the right jobs. Sydney Chemdry specialises in spring cleaning your carpet and upholstery at an affordable price. Call them today on 1800 880 065.

Professional cleaning v's DIY

DIY vs. Professional carpet cleaning: what is better?

August 22, 2019/0 Comments/in News, Uncategorized /by Vicki Tidswell

When it comes to carpet cleaning, everyone takes different approaches.  While some people prefer the well-sorted professional care of their carpets, others prefer a personal touch and approach the DIY method of carpet cleaning.

Why do you need to get your carpet cleaned?

Carpet cleaning is one of those jobs that need to be done frequently. By getting your carpets cleaned on a regular basis, you ensure you are looking after the quality of the carpets and ensures it lasts for a long time. Stains and spots that can easily affect a carpet owing to everyday use are also removed by the help of regular carpet cleaning. Carpet cleaning also helps you lead a healthier lifestyle, as a lot of dust particulates from unclean carpets can cause irritation, allergies and diseases.

It is recommended that you make efforts to clean your carpets once every 12-18 months. The frequency of cleaning your carpets is also dependent on the number of people that visit your home on a daily basis.

DIY vs. Professional: What is the difference?

There are many methods in which a professional can clean your carpet. Some of the most common, popular and effective methods include hot water extraction technique and steam cleaning. The former involves spraying hot water mixed with some kind of stain removing agent onto the dirty carpet and then sucking the same back into a pump along with the dirt and stains that the carpet has. The later involves the use of sophisticated machines which might either be portable or mounted on top of a truck and is the most effective method of getting your carpets cleaned. Although there are DIY options available in the market, which can provide you the benefits of the aforementioned cleaning services, they are not even close to being as good or powerful as their professional counterparts.

Professional carpet cleaning is a much better solution to choose, if you desire a full-scale and comprehensive cleaning of your carpets. Also remember that professionals are trained in what they do, therefore, hiring them would minimize the risks of causing damage to your beloved carpet, if you decide to clean all of it by yourself. If you are looking for carpet cleaning that Sydney has to offer, then looking for a professional service provider is the wisest decision that you can take. Another advantage that you get by choosing a professional and affordable carpet cleaning service is that you get to save a lot of money because most professional carpet cleaning services provide attractive discounts and services and you would not have to waste money on replacing damaged carpet if you happen to ruin it by trying to clean it by yourself.

Some benefits of professional carpet cleaning

  • Increased longevity – Dust is akin to sandpaper when it comes to your carpet and care must be taken to clean it on a regular basis unless you want to damage your carpet. Simple vacuuming is unable to achieve the desired results. A professional helps you deep clean your carpet and maintain its quality for a long period of time.
  • Helps you improve your indoor quality – As has been already mentioned, a carpet attracts a lot of dirt, pollution and allergens. If not cleaned properly on a regular basis with the help of a professional carpet cleaner, these unwanted elements can create an unhealthy environment inside your home. Therefore, by hiring services of carpet steam cleaning Sydney has to offer, you can ensure that the indoor quality of your home remains unharmed.
  • Helps you maintain your carpet’s warranty – As has already been mentioned, some carpet’s warranties become void if there isn’t any professional cleaning of the carpet done from time to time. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, choosing professional carpet cleaning services is the best solution that you can opt for.
