Monday Cleaning Tip: Dusting.

My favourite duster is the below 1.

The dusters are disposable.

I have found a cheaper, but just as good duster at Bunnings. Glitz 5 pk.

Did You Know?

Many people do not dust their door frames, tops of doors or ceiling fan blades.

These retain dust which leads to health issues.

Regular dusting of all areas of a home, helps reduce the health risks.

I even dust Laundries, Bathrooms, Lavatories.

You can dust inside your car, boat, caravan, anywhere dust settles.

Added Tip:

Wiping down these surfaces with an anti bacterial cloth, provides added protection.

Coles brand 100 pk does an amazing job.

To remove cobwebs or dust high areas, use a long handled broom. Please ensure someone is there for safety.

I also suggest wearing PPE

Personal

Protective

Equipment.

Safety First Always.

Hope this has helped you all.

Tomorrow: Saving Water When Moping.

Cancer Sux.

Wilma Fay Jensen 18/09/1939- 30/07/1991.

As I write this, I’m crying thinking about my mum.

30 years ago today, I lost her to Bowel Cancer.

Because of my sister, I feel mum died earlier than she should have.

During mums time in hospital, in Sydney, I was unable to visit.

As my parents owned a Mixed Business in North West NSW.

When mum was released, she spent much of her time in our upstairs flat.

It was hard watching her go through this as she had previously been an active person.

I had no one to support me.

As I was male, was not allowed to show my emotions, and bottled them up.

My last conversation with mum was hours before she died.

Driving back, I had to stop and let loose my emotions, because I knew it was the last time I would see her alive.

Dad never knew, I’m aware.

My grandmother paid for the funeral, as such, mum is buried near her father.

Please, if anyone has any symptons, get checked out immediately.

Life is too short to allow these awful diseases to take control of us.

Getting checked out early and having regular tests, hopefully can prolong your life.

Pic is last taken with all 3 of us, at my 21st, in 1986, yes that is my ugle mug in the middle

However, I will still write some, especially personal ones.

This is my last blog for a little while as I’m composing some ones.

Happy Easter You Amazing Winners.

Much Thanks.

Sunday Cleaning Tip: Mattress.

Did you know? Our mattresses contain bacteria that can hurt us.
However, there is a way to eliminate, or at least reduce them.

First up: Remove sheets and blankets.

Step 1: Vacuum thoroughly.

Step 2: Grab steam mop, with a clean pad, then steam mop, just light slow moves.

Allow an hour to dry.
After an hour, flip mattress & repeat steps 1 & 2.
Allow to dry.

After  an hour, repeat.

I find 4 steams helps, this may take several weeks to fully eliminate the bacteria.

I suggest this, upon purchasing a new mattress, perform a steam mop, as it will eliminate a lot of the factory, transport, warehouse odours.

If your mattress is heavy, please get help.

SAFETY FIRST

Thank You for reading these tips this week.

Saturday Cleaning Tip: Bathrooms/Lavatories.

Update: To scrub floors, use a mixture of vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

Most people think using an exhaust fan will remove steam.
They remove most surface steam.
Best way to ensure all moisture has gone, is open windows for a few hours.
This will allow the bathroom to fully clear.

Upon arrival back, grab the items mentioned yesterday.
For safety, please wear disposable gloves.
I start with vanity mirror.

Then use anti bacterial wipes, wiping down the surfaces, including taps/faucet/s & outer side of vanity, discard.

Grab a blue cloth & wipe over, removing residue. Then grab a microfibre and remove streaks, this should shine them.

Next, if you have a bath, spray the bath with an environmentally friendly product, then grab a scrubbing brush and scrub the bath, then the taps/faucet/s, grab the wipes and wipe over the bath. Continue until completely wiped over. Grab microfibre, same.

Then moving onto shower.

Spray the shower screen, grab your scrubbing brush and scrub the shower screens. Grab a blue cloth and wipe over, followed by a microfibre cloth.

Next spray the taps/faucet and wipe with a blue cloth and microfibre.

Next, spray the floor, in sections, scrub the tiles until all scum removed, move onto the next section. Once completed, use the shower head to remove the residue, if any scum left, repeat, until all scum removed.

Once finished, vacuum bathroom.

Grab spray mop, place a red microfibre pad. In the water bottle, 3/4 fill with clean, filtered water, then fill with disinfectant. Place in holder, then mop bathroom.

W/C: Grab toilet brush & clean inside. Then pour some cleaner in bowl. Then use an antibacterial wipe, wipe top of seat, then cistern, under seat, outside of bowl.
Wipe over with a blue cloth only, discard.
Mop W/C, ensure a red pad.

Once floors dry, you can steam mop both areas. Please don’t use carpet glider, (triangle plastic), as it will scratch the tiles.

Once completed, wash cloths, spray mop pads & steam mop pads, separate from normal clothes. I usually add 2 capfuls of disinfectant. I also conduct an empty clean, by pouring some disinfectant into drum.

Tomorrow: Mattress.

Friday Cleaning Tip: Windows

Who abhors streaky windows when you have cleaned them?

Hopefully my tip will help you make them shine bright.

You will need: Paper Towels, Blue Cloths, Microfibre Cloths.

This will surprise you, but I’ve found the best window cleaner is:
Car Wash.

Take a clean, dry spray bottle, 3/4 fill it with clean, filtered water, then pour a capful of Car Wash into the bottle.

Screw the trigger back on. Shake well.
Spray once or twice, depending on window/mirror size.

Grab paper towels, tear off 2 or 3 sheets, then wipe window until most of mixture gone.

Grab a blue cloth to clean off excess. Grab a microfibre to remove residue and shine the window/mirror.

You may have to repeat several times, each window/mirror is different.

You can wash blue cloth & microfibre cloth.

Tomorrow: Bathrooms/WC’s.

Thursday Cleaning Tip: Carpets

Did You Know: Most people only vacuum their carpets, assuming all dust particles have gone.


That is not correct.
If you follow my tips, you may have a cleaner house.

Before vacuuming, grab a scrubbing brush, then gently scrub the carpet, this loosens deep down particles & removes hair too.

Once done, grab your vacuum & vacuum carpet.
After, get your steam mop,

Kmart $49 & $9.50

Follow instructions, then steam mop carpets.
This helps kill any bacteria left, but also freshens the room.

Please get written permission from your landlord if renting, before using Steam Mop.

When finished, spray the room with your previously home made air freshener.

I would not step on carpet for an hour.
You can steam again, as it may reactivate air freshener scent/s.

Tomorrow:  Windows

Wednesday Cleaning Tip: DIY Air Freshener

Take a clean, dry, spray bottle.
Remove trigger.

Pour in clean, filtered water around 3/4, then put 10 drops of your favourite essential oil/s each.

Screw trigger back on, shake well.

Spray each room until scented.
I usually do this just before leaving home, so floors can dry whilst out.

Safety: hard floors may become slippery when mix reaches floor.

Update: When MCC becomes operational, each candle buyer will receive a free air freshener made from your scent choices.

Tomorrow: Carpets.

Tuesday Cleaning Tip: Water Saving.

As usual, what is mentioned below is my own opinion. You may or may not agree with me. As a professional cleaner, I do research before recommending any product or equipment.

Traditional mops can create more health issues as they don’t always remove germs when wringing out.

The spray mop above is my recommended equipment.

When you use the trigger button, it releases a small amount of liquid, which is your choice.

These are 3 in 1.

Orange pad for sweeping.

Blue, moping general areas.

Red, Bathrooms, Laundries & Lavatories. I mop in that order.

Orange, & Red available separately.

Using these mops will save you Water, Money & Time.

Please on wooden floors, only use cold water.

I add disinfectant.

You can buy cheaper spray mops, which I’m sure will do the same thing.

Update: Bunnings have a similar mop, from Morgan, but only comes with 1 pad, you need to buy the others separately.

Tomorrow: Make Your Own Air Freshener.

CHEATERS/HIV

I was watching this episode recently.

BlueHeelers episode 48.
Talks about HIV.

A character caught it from a cheating ex.

This is another reason why I demand written, signed, legal Relationship agreements.

A Non-Cheating clause.
No physical touching for 1st 3 months, both MUST undertake a Full STD blood test every 3 months.

2 straight tests must come back clear, before further closeness occurs.

If more people had written, signed, legal agreements, setting out clear boundaries & what is & isn’t expected or tolerated during the term of the agreement, maybe there would be less DV.

Even when we feel we trust somebody 1000000%, inevitably, they will let us down.

Genuine people will agree to written agreements.

Anyone who cheats on a partner is a lowlife despicable creature.

Multiple Baskets.

How many of you amazing winners have multiple baskets for your eggs?

Have you thought about your childrens future?

If they love Candles,,why not buy a Club Membership to give them a hand up?

Curious?

I’ll explain: Many people rely on a single income and don’t think, or want to think, about when that may end.

People who have multiple baskets, usually have a buffer, in case 1 breaks the eggs.

I believe that every amazing human is a winner, if each had a

Positive

Mindset.

Schools teach us to look for

Just

Over

Brokes

Which we are then told the wages are enough.

No, everyone is worth much more than we are

BRAINWASHED

Into believing what we are told.

The past couple of years should be a lesson to every human.

However, please accept this advice:

Always do your research and insist on video chatting with others.

Never pay cash, always pay electronically, that way you have proof of payment/s if the person doesn’t deliver.

Also, insist on the business numbers.

Here in Australia, we have ABN’s: Australian Business Number.

Mine is 61902818410. I’m a Sole Trader.
