How-to maintain your bathroom between services.
Cleaning a bathroom is an important task that helps to keep the space hygienic and pleasant to use. There are a few key steps you can follow to ensure your bathroom is thoroughly cleaned and well-maintained.
First, it’s important to gather all the necessary cleaning supplies. This may include a toilet brush, a scrub brush, a sink cleaner, a shower cleaner, a sponge, and a microfiber cloth. You may also want to have some rubber gloves on hand to protect your hands from any harsh chemicals.
Next, start by tackling the toilet bowl. Use the toilet brush to scrub the inside of the bowl, being sure to get under the rim. Then, use a disinfectant cleaner to wipe down the seat, handle, and exterior of the toilet. Move on to the sink and shower or tub, using the scrub brush and cleaner to remove any soap scum or hard water stains. Wipe down the countertops and any other surfaces with a microfiber cloth or sponge, and be sure to empty the trash can. Finally, sweep or mop the floor to remove any dirt or hair that may have accumulated. With these simple steps, you can effectively clean your bathroom and keep it looking fresh and welcoming.
Everyone has a junk drawer. We know, we have seen them.
Decluttering a junk drawer can be a quick and easy task that can make a big difference in the overall organization of your home. Here are some steps you can follow to declutter and organize your junk drawer:
First, take everything out of the drawer and lay it out on a flat surface. This will allow you to see all of the items at once and make it easier to sort through them.
Sort through the items and divide them into piles based on category, such as office supplies, miscellaneous items, and sentimental items.
Go through each pile and decide what to keep and what to get rid of. For items you no longer need or use, consider recycling or donating them. For sentimental items, consider finding a more appropriate storage solution, such as a keepsake box.
Once you have sorted through all of the items, it’s time to put everything back into the drawer. Consider using organizers, such as dividers or small containers, to keep similar items together and make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
By following these steps, you can effectively declutter and organize your junk drawer, making it a more functional and efficient space.
Smelly home got you down?
There are many natural ways to make your home smell nice. One simple and obvious method is to open windows and doors to allow for fresh air circulation. This can help to dissipate any unpleasant odours your kids, husband or pets might have left behind and bring in the natural scents of the outdoors.
Another option is to use scented candles or essential oils. Scented candles come in a wide range of pleasing fragrances and can be lit to add a pleasant aroma to your home. Essential oils, which are concentrated plant extracts, can also be used in a diffuser to spread a pleasant scent throughout your home. Some popular essential oils for creating a nice aroma include lavender, lemon, and peppermint.
Finally, you can use herbs and spices to add a natural fragrance to your home. For example, you could simmer a pot of water on the stove with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peels for a warm, spicy scent. Or, you could tuck fresh herbs like rosemary or mint into potted plants around your home to add a refreshing aroma. These methods not only add a pleasant scent to your home, but they also have the added benefit of being natural and chemical-free.
