Now we have all the mighty cleaning products like bleach and so on. Chemistry is advancing fast and the ingredients used  in deep cleaning are mostly toxic and artificial. Our grandparents did not even know about chemistry and that’s why they tried cleaning with whatever they had in stock. So let’s go back in time and see which were the cleaning products of the past.

Old-fashioned cleaning recipes: Once upon a time our grandmothers used baking soda much more than us. Not only in cooking, as we do now. They were familiar with the fact that baking soda is a scrubber that will never cause rust and used it to polish. Deep cleaning sinks and porcelain items were all performed using this very simple product. If you still do not use baking soda, try removing crayon marks off walls. This gentle scrubber works on all surfaces and brings the shine back.

Another old- grime slayer is sunlight. You may not believe it but it this was the alternative bleach in ancient times. Direct sunlight possesses all the whitening properties of the bleach, but it comes for free. The trick is when deep cleaning white fabrics. Wet the fabric and place it somewhere on a direct sunlight. Repeat when it dries, and water as many times as needed until you reach the desired brightness. As you may know this cures all mould and mildew on affected fabrics. Your upholstery can be taken out in the open and then all smells and bacteria exterminated.

Cleaning Tips Now and Then is a post from: Cleaning Tips Cleaning News & Cleaning Fun

Cleaners London, for example, shared some valuable ideas with us. Banana peels, potatoes, grapefruit and even a mascara brush are among the few major strange cleaners. Yes, they are strange, but who said that they don’t clean?!

• Banana peels – who doesn’t like bananas? The slippery peels can have some practical application apart from the hilarious pranks. You can now polish your silver jewellery with banana peels. However, bananas are cheap, and now they can help you save some pocket money. Don’t buy silver polishers, tarnish will disappear when you treat it with a banana peel. Blend a fresh banana peel with some water to make a paste suitable for rubbing. Use a soft cloth to rub the paste on the silverware. Wash with lukewarm water and dry.
• Potatoes – surprisingly these can help you remove rust, according to London cleaners. Cast iron can benefit from a potato rub. Cut the potato in half and a pinch of salt or dish washer and just rub on the rusty spots. Avoid applying dish washing liquids to non-stick surfaces, a plain potato will do.
• Grapefruit – use it as a sponge when cleaning the bathtub. One grapefruit will clean it all. Cut in half and add some kosher salt and go grapefruit crazy. Rub the bathtub, the sink, the tiles and rinse. Clean as new.

What do you find more impressive? An abundant with tasty meals table or one with all the fancy decorations? Cooking is one of the main challenges if you are the host. Decoration should not be left behind. It is an essential part of the dinner. Let’s start from the beginning.

Would you go decorating a place that looks like it has never had thorough deep cleaning. Declutter the dinning room, make it more spacious by re-arranging the furniture and placing the table in the centre. Vacuum the floor well and leave no stain unattended. If some are hard to remove, cover them or take the carpet away of the room for further treatment. If you really don’t have the time to clean the place thoroughly, try to empty the room from excess furniture and give the floor a quick clean sweep.

Once you have the floor shining, you have plenty of space to decorate. The table must undergo some deep cleaning before you put the tablecloth on. Use lemon cut in half and just rub the surface. The wipe it dry with a soft cloth and it is ready for decorating.

Put a centre peace in the middle of the table. It can be a bowl of fruits and artificial leaves and acorns, or some candle-holders with decoration. Vegetables, fruits and nuts can make a perfect central-peace. Add some base of leaves and dried flowers and it will be a complete spectacular peace of decoration.

No need to mention, but if you are going to throw a Halloween party at your place, you will need more than a fancy spooky costume. You should clean and get the indoors properly decorated. Cleaning won’t take you more than an hour if you pick one room for the centre of the party and devote most of your efforts on it. Carpet cleaning and dusting are crucial, but be smart, there might be fake bloodstains, silly strings around, so remove all your possessions that may get damaged. Hide it all, don’t risk ruining the Persian carpet, for example. Have fun without worrying about your new crystal vase. Keep them hidden and safe from damage.

Back to Halloween. You can save money by turning common items you normal throw away. Get some empty tin cans and turn them into fancy lanterns. Paint a scary pumpkin ghost on them using nail polish or acrylic colours. Make holes using a nail for punching. And the final touch – insert the candle  and enjoy the spooky light. Having a candle holder save hours of deep cleaning as removing candle wax from cloths and fabrics is a challenge.

Glass jars are another good option for you to show your artistic talent. Paint a scary ghost face and just out a tea candle inside the jar. If you have done some deep cleaning before painting it, you will definitely have a spooky ghost shadow staring at you, now. How do you like it?

The best part of Halloween is its notorious trick or treat tradition and all the nasty pranks. Park your car at a safe place, as kids like to throw eggs at whatever comes in their way.

Have a happy Halloween. And remember, the best way to enjoy Halloween to the fullest is to spend it with your dearest people.

How to Go Green on Halloween is a post from: Cleaning Tips Cleaning News & Cleaning Fun

House work, and your favourite deep cleaning, proved to be effective ways to burn calories. All domestic activities will get you moving around the home and the longer you do it, the better. The best way to improve your home and boost your mood is cleaning. And now you can even have fun, while you vigorously clean around.

If you hardly find some spare time to go the gym and work out, due to overload of domestic responsibilities, you can combine this, and what is more, you can make it fun.

Cleaning games are a good way to teach your kids to clean and to be attentive to their immediate environment. Cleaning is more effective and takes less time when more people are involved. Take Cleaners London for example, they are a team of professionals. But the most important thing is that they share the work. Team work is essential in playing games, too.

Game 1: The Tycoon – it is a way to improve carpet cleaning, for example. Customize your vacuum cleaner, use stickers to make it look like a monster, or at least resemble a fast sports car. Anyone would like to hover the entire house with the amazing vehicle. Kids will love it. So the challenge is, to collect more grime and vacuum faster. Whoever wins, gets the chance to redecorate the vacuum cleaner.

Game 2: Guess what’s missing? As part of your decluttering, you can play a game. When you have friends around, test their visual memory and clean a bit. Just ask them to cover their eyes so you can replace an object (declutter) and ask them what’s missing. While they are looking around the room, you can collect old newspapers and set them aside for recycling. Follow the green cleaning trend, set by cleaning services providers around the globe.

Have fun while cleaning and achieve outstanding results.

If you do not want to get bored once again, let’s do something to change your negative attitude towards cleaning. The sooner you start, the better.

1. It would be easy for you to clean a bit daily. This is a proven technique used by many tenancy cleaning companies. They advice their customers to start arranging the move out cleaning in advance, so to have enough time to fix up the packing and moving. Everyone enjoys a clean home, it requires less efforts to grab the old papers or mail and throw it away, than cleaning for hours in the weekend.
2. In order to have fun you should combine regular cleaning tasks with your favourite activities. For example, you can play your favourite songs and wipe the kitchen floor in a cheerful dance. You will forget that you are cleaning. Your home will be end of tenancy clean and you may have spent few minutes a day, but the results will be quite rewarding.
3. Invite some friends at home and tell them you have a big surprise. Then ask them to help you clean the house, and offer them a treat afterwards. Like throwing a party at a clean house, who doesn’t like it.

Whenever one mentions “cleaning”, it evokes thoughts of dirty stuff in need to be cleaned. This process may take all your time and exhaust you. Therefore, more and more people resort to using the help of professional cleaning services providers to save the cleaning efforts. The reason why people behave like that is that they don’t have fun while cleaning. They tend to consider this activity boring and time-assuming. But they are wrong. There are many ways to make cleaning fun.

Domestic cleaning is fun

• Invite some friends to give you a hand. Try not to torture those that do not like cleaning. If you manage to invite someone who is a cleaning fan, the job will be done in no time. There are such people who clean with pleasure.
• Sing as you clean. You can easily turn cleaning into a dance. Anything you do would be under the rhythm. If you have some friends around, you can make a cleaning party.
• Place the bin as closer as possible. You shouldn’t make any unnecessary moves.
• Use a timer. You can set the timer for 15 minutes, so you can stop cleaning and have a treat for the good job you have done so far. Or you can just rest for a while.
• Listen to your favourite radio. This will keep you entertained.
• Make your bed first. If you are cleaning your room, this will make it look cleaner.
• Ask someone if they like the way you clean. To be motivated and satisfied with the work you do is the key to success.

If you have the courage to try all this, you will certainly enjoy domestic cleaning. Be careful, do not get addicted to it. Don’t spend your whole life cleaning.
