How to Keep your Home Sparkling

It’s been a while I have shared some cleaning tips on here.

We have been up and running; but yea, we are in the raining season and I thought to share this.

One of the biggest tips I've learned is that if you keep up with routine chores on a regular basis, things will never get out of hand. So to make things easy, I decided to break it down on a daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal basis. If you can spend just a few minutes each day tidying up, you will never have to clean like crazy just before guests come over or when you've finally reached your limit.

Synthetic and Natural Fiber Brooms in Sweeping

We've got all kinds of gadgets that have tried to replace our brooms, but the truth is that every home still needs a broom. A broom is a great tool for a quick pick up or an intense floor cleaning. Find out how to make your sweeping more effective and efficient.

1.      Choose a Broom

Find a broom that fits with your floor type. Smoother floors can get by with synthetic brooms. Rougher floors may need natural fibre brooms to be as effective. Choose a broom with sharp edges for cleaning under cabinets and in tight spaces. Make sure your broom is at a comfortable height, and not too heavy to manage.

                 Natural Fibre Brooms

2.      Find a Starting Place

When sweeping a room, there are a couple of different methods. Some people like to walk the perimeter of a room, sweeping from the edges into a pile in the centre. Others like to begin at one end of the room and move to the other pulling the dirt pile along with them, or eliminating the pile in sections. Choose a method and starting point that works for you.

3.      Start Sweeping

Sweeping isn't a difficult motion to master, but try to keep continuous contact with the floor, without pressing the broom strands down into the floor.

4.      Sweep Up Your Dirt Pile

Sweep dirt into a pile. Sweep the dirt pile into a dust pan and then deposit it in the trash. Be careful not to dump the dirt too quickly, causing dust and dirt to billow back into your face, or onto your clean floor.

5.      Preserve your Broom

Put away all of your supplies and be sure to clean your broom if needed. Hang your broom to prevent the bristles from becoming bent or damaged, or sit the broom upside down for storage.

• Avoid getting your broom wet. It damages the broom and shortens its life span.
• When washing a broom, make sure that it dries thoroughly upside down, to prevent bristles from being bent or damaged.

Living Room Flooring Considerations, Tiles, Carpets and Rugs

The living room is an inherently social space, a place that is on display for guests and friends, but also acts as a gathering area for all members of the household. It is where people come together to talk, share, and connect with one another based around shared interests and amicable interactions. Since the floor is such a large and important part of the room’s ambiance, there are certain factors that you have to consider when choosing a material.

Since its main purpose is social in nature, you want the flooring in your living room to evoke a sense of comfort, easy maintenance and the cost factor

Also, when choosing living room flooring it is important to remember that the style of the material is going to influence the décor of the entire room.

Colour: The power of colour to influence the human subconscious has been well documented by psychologists. With living room flooring, it is important to choose colours that create a sense of comfort.

Texture: The way your flooring feels is going to be an important part of the ambiance of the entire space. Traditionally living room flooring has tended to be soft with materials such as carpet, rugs. In modern designs many living rooms will feature hard surface materials such as concrete, tiles.


Cleaning and Maintenance: Caring for flooring in the living room is going to be a constant concern. Aside from regular maintenance required to keep the flooring intact, you will also have to deal with occasional spills and stains. The more use the living room gets the more this is going to be a concern. In CONSIDERATION, hard surface materials are going to be easier to maintain and more resistant to stains.

Durability: The level of traffic in your living room is going to determine to some extent the life cycle of your floor. Many hard materials such as concrete and tiles can last for years if properly cared for. However softer materials such as carpeting and rugs may need to be replaced every few years.

Have a splendid week

Your Toothbrush and You.

I thought to share this topic with you today.

As you reach for your toothbrush each morning, you may not realize what’s hanging out on its bristles.

“Toothbrushes can become contaminated with oral microbial organisms whenever they are placed in the mouth,” 

Viruses and bacteria from an infected person’s mouth can live for weeks on a toothbrush surface, and continue to cause illness,

Even normal, healthy micro-organisms can cause infections, especially if they enter your gum tissue due to an injury, a break, or an oral ulcer.

Toothbrushes don’t have to be sold in sterile packaging, so they may have bacteria right out of the box.

Keeping it Clean

You may not give much thought to cleaning your toothbrush, since you’re wetting it every day to scrub your teeth. However, it’s important -- and easy -- to do.

Wash it. Give your toothbrush a thorough rinse with tap water to remove debris. If you have a systemic illness or immune disorder, you may want to soak it in antibacterial mouthwash.

Try deep cleaning. There are many types of toothbrush sanitizers on the market.

Store it properly. After use, don’t pop that wet toothbrush back into your bathroom cup and forget about it.

Store it upright, in a rack or cup, but not somewhere it can’t dry out. Look for a cover that lets air and prevents mold, but isn’t completely sealed. The lack of air can foster bacteria. 

How long should you keep a toothbrush? Here are a few useful tips:

Know when to let go. Replace your toothbrush about every three to four months, or when it shows signs of wear. “Frayed bristles will not clean the teeth and gums adequately,”

Toss toothbrushes after illness. Throw away a brush you or anyone in your home used while they were sick. 

Cleaning your Sweater

Clean sweaters before storage, because moths, and carpet beetles feed off sweat and stains.

 Dry cleaning works well but can get pricey. In most cases, it’s safe to hand wash wool, but let the care label be your guide. 

Add your detergent in a sizeable rubber.

Turn the garment inside out; submerge, move with rushing sound, then soak for 10 minutes. 

Rinse twice, pressing out the water. Never hang-dry, since wet wool stretches easily.

Dry Flat

Lay the garment on a clean towel and roll it up to extract water. Unfurl and let dry on a new towel or a mesh rack.
