House Cleaning Calgary, AB – Home Hacks From Our Cleaners

There are a few hacks you can use for house cleaning in Calgary, each designed to save you time, money, and perhaps your sanity. Cleaning companies in Calgary have seen just about everything, so when it comes to keeping your home clean, here are a few of the hacks that make sense.

1.   Microwaved Sponges

The sponge you use to wash your dishes can get very gross very quickly, picking up bacteria along the way. While you could put it into your washing machine, that takes time and you have dishes to wash. Kill off the germs by putting it into the microwave for 30 seconds, just make sure it’s wet first.

2.   Wash Your Slotted Vents

You probably aren’t equipped with the same tools used by professional residential cleaning services in Calgary, but even if you no longer have the proper vacuum attachment, cleaning your blinds is easy. Wrap a butter knife with a wet rag and run it through each vent or blind.

3.   Removing Water Stains and Soap Buildup

Vinegar is a great natural cleaner that can remove water stains from your faucets. Add a little dish soap in equal parts and it works for soap scum too. Let the water stains soak for a while before scrubbing them away using a toothbrush or sponge.

4.   Eliminating Grease

Have a grease stain on your carpet or furniture? It’s no problem for a mixture of rubbing alcohol and salt. Use one-part salt and four parts alcohol. Rub it into the grease stain, let it dry, and just vacuum it up.

5.   Dealing with Broken Glass

When glass shatters, it goes everywhere. Finding the large pieces is easy but it’s the small pieces that can really pose a problem. Use a piece of soft bread to pick up the glass slivers without fear of cutting your hands.

6.   Glitter Spills

Using the same idea to pick up glass shards with bread, you can easily pick up glitter with a little play doh or a lint roller. You’ll be able to take care of your home in between your house cleaning services in Calgary.
