DIY ~ Household Cleaning Tips

From the world of Cleaning resellers:

To speed up your rubbish bin emptying:

• Don't be afraid to knock the bin around and make some noise (if it's not broken)
• Know how to vacuum or mop up any spills or possible mess when you empty
  
• It's garbage anyway so no need to over clean the bin when you put the new bag on
• Throw smaller rubbish containers into bigger rubbish containers 

 

 

As far as cleaning chemicals are concerned: 

• To a large degree chemicals are fairly interchangeable and have similar 'brute force' cleaning power - multi-purpose cleaners, cream cleansers, alcohol based disinfectants, floor cleaners, toilet ducks, bleaches etc ... even potentially carpet cleaner ... 
• Some of these manufacturers tend to be a bit marketing heavy! ~ if you use a sufficient quantity they all tend to perform fairly similar - something you want to keep in mind if you want to minimise the footprint of your cleaning containers etc ... 
• Generic brands are fine if you have proper cloths and mops, gloves (PPE) and know how to use them! 
• Cleaning brands are more about taking the 'hard' edge of raw sugar soap and bleach products! 
• Chemical manufactures are very clever and have harnessed economies of scale since our parents and grandparents were around - something you may want to exploit in terms of what chemicals you buy for your own domestic cleaning! 
• If you decide to snap the oven racks out for cleaning - a pair of plastic gloves will help to reduce impact on your hands.
