How to Give your House a General Clean

How to Give your House a General Clean

Cleaning a house is a big task, especially if the place is vast. You need to pay attention to many areas daily, which can become a nasty and monotonous task. Instead of giving a major clean every week or month, it is a better idea to you clean a bit of your house every day. Here we provide some tips on how to perform a general clean of your place.

First off, go room by room and gather all the clutter. Once you tidy up it will be easy for you to clean the place.

Bedroom

  • Open the window to let some fresh air in.
  • Make the bed.
  • Gather all the clothing from the floor and store it where it belongs (most probably the washing basket).
  • If there is other stuff on the floor, put it away.
  • Vacuum around the room. After that mop and polish the floor.
  • Remove all the cobwebs.
  • Wipe down all the drawers and other surfaces that usually attract tons of dust.
  • Clean all computer parts (monitor, keyboard, mouse).
  • Wipe the mirror with a glass cleaner.
  • It is very important to clean all the rugs and carpets and sometimes it is better to trust professionals - http://www.perfectcleaning.org.uk/rug-cleaning/

    Proceed to the next room.

    Living room

    • Gather all the clutter that shouldn't be there if you didn't to it beforehand.
    • Vacuum the floor and make sure you cover out-of-sight places.
    • Cover the furniture.
    • Dust the room.
    • Mop and polish the floor.
    • Wipe down the TV.
    • Wipe all drawers, tables and surfaces there are in the room.

      Proceed to the next room.

      Kitchen


      • Remove all the stuff on the counter-tops and wipe them down.
      • Clean all the kitchen appliances.
      • Clean the oven with an all-purpose cleaner or baking soda.
      • Clean the microwave with a special cleaner.
      • Wipe down the outside of the fridge.
      • Load the dishwasher.
      • Clean the coffeemaker.
      • Wipe the table and chairs.
      • Gather all the clutter and throw it away.
      • Empty the trash.

        Proceed to the next room.

        Bathroom and toilet

        • Before you start cleaning, make sure you put on rubber gloves. Some of the cleaning products can be harmful to the skin, that's why it is good to use gloves to protect your hands.
        • Pour some all-purpose cleaner or bleach into the toilet bowl and let it rest for a while. Be sure to put the brush inside so that it gets disinfected too.
        • Open the window if there is any or ensure the proper ventilation.
        • Remove cobwebs.
        • Apply scrub powder to areas that need special attention like stains, soap scum, lime and other dirt. This includes the sink, tub, shower and faucets. Let the powder work for 15 minutes while you focus on other stuff.
        • Get back to the toilet and scrub it with the brush. Clean the exterior. Don't forget to use different cloths and rags for every surface you clean. Flush the toilet.
        • Clean the mirror.
        • Get back to the shower. Scrub to get rid of the scum and lime. Rinse and dry with a towel.
        • Sweep the floor. Mop and polish. Use hot soapy water. For better results you may add a little bit of bleach into the water.

          Clean Tech: Energy-Generating Floors

          Clean Tech: Energy-Generating Floors

          The subject of living in a way that is safe for the environment has been very popular for many years. More and more people choose to switch to green and thus show their concern for the environment. Acting in an ecologically-friendly way has become a lifestyle for many people, who want to help distributing the idea and build consciousness in more people's minds that everyone should do something about protecting the planet. When it comes to green energy, there are already some great projects that have been introduced. One of them, and possibly one of the best ones, is the energy-generating floor. This is a floor which generates piezoelectricity, which is electrical energy, created by mechanical pressure, such as walking or other motions. When pressure is applied to this floor, a negative and a positive charges are produced, which create a flow of electricity when the pressure is relieved. Here is more interesting information about floors that generate clean energy.

          Sustainable Energy Floor

          Energy-generating floors are known as sustainable energy floors. They use human power, created from dancing or walking, and convert it into kinetic sustainable energy. When stepped on, an energy floor creates up to 10mm, which is enough to active a generator of the module. Energy-generating floors can have different sizes, designs and shapes and can be integrated in a big variety of public places. The energy-generating floor is a great improvement in the tech industry, concerning cost effectiveness and clean energy.

          Short History Of Energy-Generating Floors

          The first energy floor was a dance floor, used in the Sustainable Dance Club in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2006. The idea was to build awareness in people about the production and consumption of energy in an entertaining way. It was a very successful project, which made people enjoy the interaction in such a fun way. Many other small and large companies have followed the example and have been provided with the product. By the end of 2012, the number of energy floor installations in the world had already reached 17 and many events in over 15 countries on 5 continents were organised. By 2013, the energy-generating floors had entered different markets, such as education, architecture and public transport.

          What Can Be Powered By An Energy-Generating Floor

          The power that can be created by an energy-generating floor depends entirely on the size of the floor itself, the intensity of motions and also the weight of people who step on it. Generally, the power is not unlimited and can usually charge low-power devices, such as small screens, cameras, LED lights and cell phones and some of the cleaning instruments which London cleaning services are using.

          Why Use The Product

          Energy-generating floors are available to either hire or purchase. They come with several advantages. Sustainable energy floors are a great experience for the wide audience, helping to engage and inspire people to be more conscious about the subject of clean energy. The project builds awareness and provides people with more information about the subject. When it comes to using human power to charge different devices, energy-generating floors have a huge impact.

          megan megas at home..



          So I know I have been changing it up a little around here with more and more chatting... but sometimes I think change is a good thing! (I hope you do too).  Anyway, I am going to chat this up because I simply love it.  I love the graphic pillow on the white sofa and I love the split wall with grey and creamy paint.  I love the lack of accessories and things.  This is pretty amazing.  I know it is not my home because my dog would knock that vase off of that little stool in about 5 minutes but I still love it.





          This picture makes me wish I had not sold off my dining head chairs... humm.  I think I saw some yesterday and now I really want them back!
