Pet hates with cleaning

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I have been speaking to people at my work and below i have a list of the things that they hate about cleaning:

  • Hoover plug leads – it is a pain in the bum when you have to move the lead of the hoover when going around
  • Glass tables & shelves – once you have dusted these you go back to it, it is full of dust again
  • Patio doors – in the summer children always cover the glass panes with sticky marks from when they have eaten loli-pops
  • Tidy up – the tidying up of a room always takes longer than the actual cleaning (eg, moving items to hoover & polish)

washing up gloves

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

i am really funny when it comes to washing up as i don’t like the feel of my hands once i am finished and i am not lucky enough to have a dishwasher so i use washing up gloves.

My friends think i am funny how i have to use washing up gloves and i have been bought all sort pairs of gloves for xmas, birthday or just everyday from black with fluff around the wrist and a ring on to pink spotty ones.

I don’t know what it is but all i can think of is the washing up liquid does not react well to my hands.

multi purpose wipes

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I am sooo lazy when it comes to cleaning and i have found a great product which i would recommend to anyone and this is multi purpose wipes which can be used on glass, wood & stainless steel.

below is a list of manufacturers of the wipes:

  • Ciff
  • Dettol
  • Flash
  • Tesco
  • Sainsburys
  • Asda
  • Mr Sheen
  • Pledge

I think you get the idea that most brands do these.

i use them when cleaning my bedroom, lounge, floor and they even work great on your car dash board.

let me know what your favorite brand is of these as i have not yet found mine.

couples who clean have more sex

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

a study has shown that couples who clean have more sex and couples who love to do hosework are more likely to get down and dirty in the sheets.

after reading this i know i will be wondering what people are like when i go to their house and see how tidy or untidy it is.

Apparently if the man of the house helps more the lady is less tired which means no excuses to be given (not that i am saying they do.

this report was from The Sun newspaper so let me know if you think they are correct or not.

Cleaning your rug

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I have got a cream rug at home and it was really dirty but living in an apartment it was not easy to get a carpet cleaner as we have wooden floors everywhere else so my boyfriend took the rug to work and washed it with the company jet wash which they use to clean cars with and it came back looking like brand new.

A good tip is to start at one side and work across so all the water goes off the other end..

This is a really easy way to do this but make sure there will be a few nice days as it may take a couple of days to dry.
