Hard-to-Reach Areas: Dust is constructed in spaces that cannot be viewed and contemplated on but cleaning the spaces is something that needs to be implemented frequently in spaces not just in regard to the appearance of things but the health and air quality.
Some of the tools and techniques most useful in getting into these small spaces without sore back or broken nozzle of the vacuum, will be discussed in this manual.
Use Microfiber Cloths
The microfiber cloth does not diffuse the dust and dirt around the surface as old fashioned cotton rags or paper towels do. The microfiber cloth is composed of fine strands of polyester fiber but the positive charge of the microfiber cloth is attracted to dirt and dust (negative).
The area covered by a microfibre towel is four times more than the surface area covered by an ordinary cotton towel and can reach around corners, cracks and any other areas where dead space of a cleaning tool could exist.
Washing Once again, washing is the key to maximizing your microfiber cloth, preferably after every use, says Taylor. He even tells us that we are not supposed to use fabric softener as this may result in the little fibres attaching to each other, rendering them useless in cleaning.
In addition, do not clean your microfiber cloth on a heavy duty cleaning task or on the surface because it will scratch the surface. Instead, change switches to a stiffer cleaner or such implements like sponge or brush.
One more rule, according to Taylor, is that, should your microfiber cloth be two-sided, the rimed side can be utilized to scrub, and the fluffy side can be employed to dust. And make sure and clean your microfiber clothes after using.
Properly Clean Ceiling Fans
Being a professional cleaner, you know that it can be a pain in the neck when it comes to dust. Not only is it dirty to look at, but can also create allergies, emit smells and turn a house to be a dirty place even after cleaning up the more visible places.
That’s why it is essential to use the right tools and techniques to tackle those hard-to-reach areas, such as a microfiber cloth with a rubber band and small detail brush for keyboards and vents or vacuum attachment with skinny nozzle tool for corners and under furniture.
Ceiling fans can be classified as one of the most grievous and dangerous to clean. Cleaning them was once a nasty business, and involved removing them and working a ladder roughly, and getting a rag or a feather duster to the blades. This approach was time-consuming to homeowners and house cleaners along with health and safety hazards.
Luckily, new tools and techniques are available to access those hard to reach places much easier without risking the destruction, injuries or an enormous mess. What is important is to systematically, step by step, search a room, first the uphill and downhill, second the corners, crevices and tight places.
When you are a homeowner, then it is advisable to get a professional to clean your ceiling fans. However, when in a hurry (a first time), or an older and more battered fan, it is not too hard to clean it yourself. Begin by taking off of the fan cover and ensuring that the blades are fully cooled.
Then take your microfiber broom that has its extended to a rectangle cleaning surface and sweep it over the entire fan in a steady hand (perhaps it is a good idea to have a tarp under the broom just in case there are any issues). And this method is excellent when it comes to any size ceiling fan, small second story fan or that on the vaulted roof of a cathedral!
Take Dust off Tall Shelves and Cabinet tops.
Dust is a rascally thief, which pervades those more distant spots, of which you neither visit, nor perceive. This unseen dirt can have a lot more on cosmetic problems and lead to allergic reactions as well as bad smells. It may also render your complete home soiled even after wiping those surfaces that have been exposed as it appears.
This can be avoided by cleaning up frequently by vacuuming and wiping. Small details brush, compressed air duster with small nozzle, microfiber cloth tied to a rubber band to a broom and duster rubber-banded to a broom are the most helpful tips to reach hard-to-reach areas.
This is the combination that one desires to clean the areas between the ceiling fan slats, behind vents and under furniture among other tight areas.
Always remember to vacuum and then wipe first to avoid dust in your newly cleaned sections to those still to be cleaned. Vacuuming is also applied to make sure that there is no water which can form mould. Do you get overwhelmed due to the thought of cleaning these troublesome places?
