Cleaning Up ‘Accidents’

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning, Spot & Stain Removal.

Our pets. We love them. No matter what.

No matter if they hack up hairballs. No matter if they barf up their breakfast. No matter if they mistake the corner of the living room for the litter box or the grass patch outside.

Dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, birds… the list goes on as to the types of pets that people have in their homes and subsequently treat like family. Or even better than family.

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning.

It’s one of the most frustrating things… moving an item on a bookshelf only to see a clear outline of where something was sitting.

Or how about moving a piece of furniture and discovering a herd of “dust bunnies” has taken up residence.

Guilty! (but it will be OK)

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, Spot & Stain Removal.

DID YOU KNOW that the devastation of spilling something like grape juice, Kool-Aid, and other fruit drinks doesn’t have to be that… devastating?

So you have kids, grandkids, or some other kids come over, and they want something to drink. They surely don’t want water from the tap. That’s pretty boring stuff. They want something fruity, sweet, and with lots of colors. Like deep blues, or reds. You know, the stuff that can really stain a carpet or piece of furniture.

The Dreaded Litter Box

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning.

It’s part of the home that you try to hide. It’s one that you hope no one stumbles across and, of course, hope no one sniffs and notices it is there.

If you have cats, you know exactly what we are talking about. If you have cats, you either train them to go outside (unlikely) or use the toilet (as seen on YouTube) — but most resort to the standard litter box for their feline friends to do their “business.”

How to Protect Your Tile Floors

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning.

No doubt in your home you have both carpet and hard floors, and probably a good bit of tile flooring.

Tile floors are great because they are fairly easy to maintain, and if something is spilled, easy to clean. Some homeowners prefer tile floors over other types because of their durability and longevity. While soft surfaces like carpet tend to show wear areas in just a few short years, tile floors are quite durable.

You may choose the very best window cleaning solution, the most lint-free cloths, but often you end up with streaks that just won’t seem to go away no matter how much you rub and buff.

Should You Wash Cushion Covers?

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning.

It’s a very easy thing to do… you notice your sofa cushions are a little dingy, which is perfectly normal with kids, pets, and normal usage.

So you decide to do it yourself and wash the cushion covers. They come out looking nice. But you also notice a little problem. The colors aren’t as bright as they used to be, and it takes a lot of effort to get the covers back over the foam cushions themselves. In fact, for one cushion, you can’t even get it zipped up all the way.

Vacuum Cleaner Maintenance

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks.

The job of the vacuum cleaner, whether in a home or office, is to pick up dirt, debris, particulate soil, hair, dander, virtually anything that lands on the carpet and must be removed. In the process, your vacuum cleaner eventually ends up needing a little cleaning attention itself.

When you empty the vacuum collection chamber or replace the vacuum bag, all of that dust, dirt, debris, and hair went into the port that contains the beater bar, and then through a hose, and most likely also through a filter or two.

The Battle Against Garbage Can Odors

Posted in Blog, Cleaning Tips & Tricks, General Home Cleaning.

There’s nothing too exciting about garbage cans, except how you feel if you pull a full trash bag out and it bursts and spews all kinds of undesirables all over the kitchen floor.

If you have garbage, such as limp lettuce, fermenting flounder, greasy goat cheese, and much more, you will have odors from it.

Odors naturally occur from bacteria, which is what grows quickly on organic material. And then you have mold adding to the issue. All this fermenting in a dark, damp playground known as your garbage can.
