Domestic cleaning tips on how to clean dusty surfaces

Dusting is one of those household chores that no one wants to do as it requires attention to detail and is a slow going process. However unpleasant the task may be, it’s one that cannot be avoided as the higher the dust levels in the house the more unpleasant the place looks.

Most people will do the dusting in their own homes because they think that hiring a cleaning company for domestic cleaning London is too expensive or purely for the rich and famous, or they simply haven’t thought of it as an option.

If you are doing the dusting on your own then here are a few domestic cleaning tips to make the tedious task go a lot easier:

• If you have valuable items that are displayed in glass cases, such as fine china and crystal, you will need to remove them all and place them somewhere safe in order to clean and polish the interior.

• Always dust the surfaces from top to bottom. When you wipe the cloth across a dusty surface it will move a lot of the dust particles around and they will drop onto lower surfaces. For example, you should wipe a window sill before doing the skirting boards.

• Don’t spray any cleaning products directly onto electrical equipment, such as computer monitors and television sets. If the liquid gets inside the casing and onto the circuits it could cause malfunctioning. Instead, you should spray the cleaning product onto a cloth then wipe the dust from the surfaces, especially the cooling vents.

You could always hire a cleaning company to provide regular domestic cleaning London. The fully trained and insured domestic cleaners can do all the dusting for you as well as complete other household chores at affordable rates.

Searching For the Best Cleaning Company in London

If you are like most people, your time is limited. Between work, family, and other personal obligations you barely have time to breathe, let alone scrub your home from top to bottom. For others, the thought of spending a full day cleaning grungy sinks and floors is about as appealing as eating mud. Thankfully, you can employ domestic cleaning London to scrub your home until it sparkles. Here are a few tips for hiring a domestic cleaner that will ensure you get the quality cleaning service you are paying for.

•The first place to start is to get recommendations from friends and family members who employ domestic cleaning services. This is especially beneficial if you have been in their homes and have already seen the quality of work their domestic cleaner does.

•Once you have a list of cleaning companies in London, you should check out their reputation. Go on the internet and enter their name into a search engine and see what comes up. Not every cleaning company London is for every client, so you should expect to see a mix of reviews. However, if nothing but pages upon pages of complaints pop up about a particular cleaning company then you’ll definitely want to cross them off the list.

Take your time finding the right domestic cleaners in London for you. You will be working with each other for a long time so make sure you find someone you like and trust.

Daimer launches new eco cleaner

Daimer Industries has launched a new environmentally-friendly cleaner designed for floor surfaces.

The Eco-Green Multi-purpose Hard Surface Cleaner makes use of a soy-based formula which is especially effective for domestic cleaning non-porous hard surfaces.

Daimer said the biodegradable cleaning solution can be used to clean the inside of a car, as well as home and office floor surfaces.

Matthew Baratta, spokesperson for Daimer, said: “Our Multi-Purpose Hard Surface Cleaner is effective and safe for use in auto detailing operations concerned with the health of their employees and the environment.

“Like our other green chemicals, this cleaning compound relies on a patented cleaning technology.”

Daimer’s product features Micro-Blasting technology, which uses nano-sized particles to break up grease, dirt and oils and other stains without having to resort to dangerous solvents.

The product is aimed at cleaning companies who want to reduce the negative impact on the environment, as well as domestic cleaners who are committed to eco-friendly principles.

Daimer recently launched a vacuum steam cleaner designed to help remove stubborn carpet stains.

For a wide range of eco-friendly cleaning treatment, please contact your local cleaning agency.

Household budgets see cutbacks

Householders may be cutting back on their spending on domestic cleaning items, a new survey suggests.

According to a survey carried out by the Post Office Christmas Club, almost half (48 per cent) of female householders will be cutting back on their household expenditure.

However, just a quarter of men said they expect to cut back on their budget for household items.

The survey found that 29 per cent of people (14 million) are now feeling the financial effects of the shopping, entertaining and socialising over the Christmas period.

Despite the cutbacks on household expenditure, it seems householders may continue to devote funds to professional cleaning services.

A separate survey by 1001 found that more than half (52 per cent) of adults admit that their homes are the most dirty in the New Year.

However, instead of donning the marigolds themselves, it seems many may prefer to delegate the tasks to cleaning companies.

Around 55 per cent of people said that although they prefer to keep their homes in pristine condition for the New Year, many have no motivation to continue cleaning once the Christmas season is over.

London cleaning companies are qualified to carry out all your domestic cleaning needs.

Consumers prefer green cleaning products

A new survey suggests that consumers prefer to spend their money on environmentally-friendly cleaning products and services.

According to a report by Burst Media, consumers are willing to pay more for eco-friendly products, with 90 per cent saying they have incorporated a level of greenness in their lives in some form.

More than half (59 per cent) of respondents said they would pay more for green domestic cleaning products, while 58 per cent said they would be willing to pay premium for eco-friendly laundry detergents.

Some 56 per cent of consumers surveyed said they believe the green claims made on product marketing to some extent.

However, a quarter are more dubious, with 25.1 per cent of respondents saying they do not believe the environmentally-friendly claims that are found on product marketing material.

One in ten consumers said they never believe the eco credentials that products claim to have.

The report found that overall, women are more likely to buy a product that is advertised as being green, while men lead the way when it comes to total commitment to green credentials.

‘Regular cleaning helps reduce dust mites’

Carrying out regular spring cleaning of beds, mattresses and bed clothes is essential to keep them free of dust mites, an expert has advised.

Dr Darryl C Zeldin, acting clinical director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said washing bed sheets at least once a week is a good way to reduce exposure to dust mites.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, he advised domestic cleaners london and householders to soak sheets in hot water, as this is likely to ensure materials are thoroughly cleansed and sanitised.

Dr Zelzin also advised householders to wash stuffed animals and other toys regularly and keep rooms as clutter-free as possible.

In addition, removing carpets will facilitate a comprehensive clean and enable domestic cleaners to get to hard-to-reach areas beneath visible surfaces.

Householders who need a more professional touch could opt for the services of professional cleaning companies, who can be hired to conduct thorough top-to-bottom cleaning treatments.

In order to minimise exposure to dust mites in the first place, Dr Zeldin recommended using special zipped covers to encase mattresses and pillows.

Writing on MSN Real Estate, industry expert Roy Berendsohn recently advised householders to use natural materials such as lamb’s wool when cleaning around the house.

Home cleaning, house cleaners in London > Use professional domestic cleaning company – FastKlean

Choosing the right domestic cleaning company for you? Do you plan to hire private home cleaners in London? Don’t risk it!

We live in a busy world and women are under higher pressure than men. They have to work, look after their household and children and above all- clean. It is always essential and easy to call someone for help- especially if you need some rest or simply spare some additional time for yourself, for the family or friends. However men are also under pressure- working hard to keep up the family budget or trying to help their partner sharing the household duties between each other. Probably you know people who already sought for help which helps keeping their properties clean and tidy and enjoy their free hours off work. You could hear many different suggestions and advises on the main question here- is it better having a private cleaner, hire a home cleaner through and cleaning agency or….. simply clean yourself?

Let us exclude the last option because face it- no one likes cleaning after a busy day or spending a whole weekend day dusting and hovering instead of going out or relaxing the way you like best. The point here is what house cleaner would be best for you and your household, and last but not least- your security and budget.

Hiring a private house cleaner

Probably you already have a bunch of leaflets wondering which telephone number to start with. They all say they are professional, reliable and … cheap! Well, you decide to call one of the leaflets and what you hear is a lady hardly speaking English. You ask her to come for an interview and there she is- with her references which you asked in advance and her kind smile. So far so good- but it would be essential thinking of additional things like:

• Where does she live- if she lives too far away she would probably be late sometimes because we all know the occasional transport problems in London
• Where does she come from- she might have passport but she might not be eligible to work in UK or might not be Tax registered. This means she could leave for her country any time whenever she needs.
• How can you trust her references and her reliability, is it secure to hand her your house keys and are you sure she will not send her friend to clean for you when she needs to go somewhere.
• Does she have insurance- what if she breaks something or sets up the house on fire?
• What would you do if you have invited friends for dinner and she texts you she will not be able to come as she does not feel well- you will need someone to help you and maybe spend a lot of money on a one-off service.
• Once she decides to leave you will have to go through all this over and over again until you find another cleaner.
• What if you get too friendly with her and she does not notice your remarks about the standard of her cleaning which has been better at the very beginning when she was employed by you.

THINK AGAIN! Are you ready to take the risk for all above and hire  private domestic cleaners with one and only positive target- saving £1.50 to £2.50 per hour?

Well, having described the pros and cons of having a private home cleaner, you will say- but what would an agency do for me better than what you read so far? And the answer to this question is- A LOT!

Choosing a home cleaning company

There are many house cleaning agencies in London and saying “A LOT” does not mean that all cleaning agencies answer this criteria. The question here is how to find the right cleaning company, what is the procedure to hire a cleaner and how much would it cost. Cleaning agency does not mean several home cleaners working for the clients of an ex-cleaner. Cleaning company means a cleaning company established years ago which has at least 1500 clients and 250 cleaners. These house cleaning companies work accordingly to well established procedures of hiring, training domestic cleaners and maintaining a high quality of home cleaning service. All professional cleaning companies have one main aim- keeping the clients’ satisfaction at all times and trying to gain higher number of clients relying on good house cleaning service, reliability and referrals from existing clients. Signing up with a cleaning company is easy and quick. You just need to have the answers for several questions ready:

• What services do you need- cleaning service, ironing service, dog walking etc.
• How many days per week or every two weeks
• How many hours
• What days of the week

A professional cleaning company would not only offer cleaning on regular basis, but also be one call away should you need professional end of tenancy or pre-tenancy cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, window cleaning, mattress cleaning, spring cleaning, after-builders cleaning.

When you are ready to hire a home cleaner you should know a few very important house cleaning tips-

• all existing cleaners are extremely busy and if you prefer having an experienced cleaner you should be more flexible with the cleaning days (however a cleaner would come at one and the same day and at one and the same time for every cleaning session) otherwise you might be offered a newly trained cleaner
• all cleaners are carefully vetted, all their paperwork and documentation checked and have been trained before starting work for the agency.
• you have the right to meet the cleaner in advance and show her around your property, explain to her your requirements and expectations
• you will be the one to provide the cleaning equipment for the cleaning sessions- make sure your vacuum cleaner works properly and you have all required cleaning materials for best results of the cleaning session
• all cleaners have liability insurance and you can be assured your property is safe
• you can hand the cleaner keys if you are not able to be at home every time when she is due for a cleaning session- she will keep your keys securely
• if your cleaner is ill, the agency will arrange another cleaner for you and if needed- with your permission- the house keys too. The privacy and security of the client is very important to the agency and any issues will be discussed with the client in advance
• the cleaning agency works online 7 days per week- the clients can easily communicate with the professional office staff either over the phone or via e-mail (any additional information on services and booking form are available on the web site)

We at Fastklean proud ourselves with all mentioned above and let us share what our existing clients think of our service:

“I am really happy I chose Fastklean Cleaning Company 4 years ago. I used to have a private cleaner who was always late for work. She was recommended to me but I never got used to her habit being late. Also she lost my house keys on several occasions not mentioning the cleaning standard became dreadful at the very end. Since I chose Fastklean I have continuous service, although I have had 3 different cleaners so far- they have been so easy going and doing fantastic job. Thanks a lot to all of you- very professional and reliable!”

Mr G. Y.

“Being a busy mom of three made me search for some help with the cleaning and it has been very useful for me and my family. Yes, I pay a bit more but I have a great cleaner- Natalia works very hard and helps me a lot! She even goes shopping for me when I am not able to do it myself! My neighbour uses her services too and it is good the girl lives just 15 min away. I firstly hired her for 3 hours per week but now she comes two times per week for 2.5 hours. She goes on holiday twice every year but I have always had professional replacements arranged for me by the agency without any problems. I will definitely stick with the agency.”

Mrs M. B.

“I had a bad experience with a private cleaner- one day she just did not come to work and escaped with my house keys. I was in the position of stress at work and stress of this situation as all my door locks had to be changed over a night and this really cost me lots of trouble and money. Never unknown cleaner again!”.
