#washed and wiped the walls and then dry vacced

Monthiversary

It's been a month, and to celebrate, I took my first shower since the night before surgery.

Technically I was cleared to shower in the interim between my drains being taken out and the graft surgery, but I was too leery of doing so with the wound vac on. You're supposed to disconnect it and trust that the waterproof tape covering the area will stay sealed, but I didn't want to do either of those things. So it was just wiping myself down with bath wipes occasionally and using dry shampoo. Needless to say, I've felt disgusting.

Now that the wound vac is off and the graft is air drying, I've been once again cleared for showering, with instructions to take off my dressings (except for the yellow scab stuff on the graft site), let the soapy water run down my legs (as opposed to washing the sites directly), and pat dry when done.

In the shower I laughed a few times and sighed from relief. Absolutely surreal to feel clean water on me for the first time in a literal month. I brought my cane into the shower, but because of how the shower was built, I didn't need the cane too much and could lean on the walls if needed.

Afterward I lotioned the other parts of my very dry skin while J changed the sheets. I changed my clothes and even managed to clip my toenails - with great difficulty for the right leg, which still only bends about 40 degrees, but I still did it.

My left leg actually looks and feels a lot better after the shower, with a lot of the blood under the yellow bandage washing away and it now having 90% of its mobility and strength back. The skin still feels tight and burning if I stretch my leg wrong, but in the way that it might if I tanned too long at the beach and got a mild sunburn.

My right leg continues to look gross, but already a bit better than yesterday when they took the vac off. I slathered a thick, thick coat of aquafor on it, the oil emulsion pads, three abd pads, and the thigh brace (which is way easier than the ace wrap!) It aches when I walk, but that stiff ache like I pulled a muscle exercising. I feel like I should try to bend it more than 40 degrees? But then it *hurts* and doesn't seem to get any more flexible, so I haven't really pushed it too hard.

Affordable post construction cleaning services in Dallas TX

It is clear from the word "post-construction" that this cleaning is done after the construction phase. A building contractor may clear up debris in general, but meticulous cleaning is no longer part of their scope of work. Because without post-construction cleaning, the construction project will remain a major mess for a while after completion, this is a crucial component of all construction projects. This type of cleaning doesn't only involve sweeping the floor, cleaning the carpet, and other obvious areas; it involves cleaning the entire facility from top to bottom.

Things to Put on Your Checklist

You should include each part of the building in your post-construction cleaning checklist. It ought to act as a manual for workers who are inspecting every facet of the construction, including the flooring, windows, and ceilings as well as outside features and the removal of trash and rubbish. Here are some things to add:

Entrance and Exits:

Every entrance door of the building needs to be inspected and cleaned. When a new owner arrives on the property, they will notice these areas first.

·        outside lights dust

·        Check that all lights are functioning and clean the windows.

·        Refresh the doorknobs, door frames, and doors.

·        Clean the entryways.

Common Areas:

The living rooms and communal areas need to be clutter-free, spotless, well-lit, and clear. Remove any and all signs that you were there performing work.

·        Floors are swept and vacuumed/mopped

·        All lights are working and free of dust

·        Doorknobs and light switches are clean

·        Windows, window sills and window tracks are cleaned and dusted

·        No evidence of paint drops on the floors or scuff marks on the walls

·        Trash removed

·        Doors and doorframes cleaned

Kitchen and Cabinet:

Kitchens may be challenging rooms with many nooks and crannies that go unnoticed. Making sure the kitchen area is tidy and everything is in working order is a necessary part of finishing a building project.

·        Dust all shelves and counters

·        Clean inside appliances

·        Clean inside cabinets and drawers

·        Make sure all cabinet hardware is clean and secure

·        Sweep and vacuum/mop floors

·        Clean windows, window sills and window tracks

·        Remove trash

·        Clean sink and backsplash

·        Wipe down all fixtures and finishes

Bathroom:

Even though bathrooms are typically among the smallest rooms in a house, they must be tidy and functional by the time a construction project is finished.

·        Sink, tub, and shower are clean and sanitized

·        Toilet is sanitized

·        Mirrors, cabinets, and counters are wiped down

·        Floors are swept and vacuumed/mopped

·        Inside cabinets and drawers are cleaned

·        Windows, baseboards, light fixtures, doorknobs and doorframes are cleaned

·        Trash is removed

Bedrooms:

A tidy and complete bedroom requires the removal of rubbish, the dusting of light fittings, and the thorough cleaning of the floor, walls, and windows. When evaluating a bedroom area, some items to watch out for include:

·        Cleaning inside closets

·        Dusting light fixtures and ceiling fans

·        Wiping down baseboards

·        Dusting built-in shelving units

·        Dusting grates and vents

·        Removing paint from hinges

Outdoor and Landscape:

The inspection of the property's exterior should be the last item on your post-construction cleaning checklist. This entails making sure that any packing, tape, plastic, and other construction-related remnants are removed from the property and properly disposed of.

·        Remove all trash from the premises

·        Sweep/power wash the walkways

·        Sweep all porches, decks, and patios

·        Clean garage door and mailbox

Is post-construction cleaning hard?

It's crucial to decide if you should hire professionals or handle the post-construction cleaning yourself before you start. Although dusting, vacuuming, and polishing are the main parts of cleaning after renovations or building projects, the work is more intensive and may call for specialized equipment like wet/dry vacuums, industrial floor polishers, and shop vacs (also known as bucket vacuums). Most construction cleaning equipment may be rented from your neighborhood hardware shop, but after accounting for your labor and the cost, hiring a professional cleaning service may be more time and money efficient.

  What Are the Phases of Post-Construction Cleaning?

There are normally three stages to the post-construction cleaning process that the cleaning staff goes through. To guarantee that the building is entirely clean and free of anything that could pose a problem for the owners or their guests, each of these phases is essential.

Phase 1:

The rough clean, which is the first stage, takes place while construction is being done. More specifically, it starts after the plumbing, wiring, and framing have been completed by the workers. The cleaners will then have access to the area and can clear it of garbage, debris, and stickers. Since workers will be returning to the site, it makes no sense to deep clean. Nevertheless, this stage is crucial because it prevents the construction zone from becoming overrun by waste and garbage. The rough clean is the time to roughly pick up and clean the area before the next construction stage begins. Following the initial cleaning, the professionals and construction workers will install the flooring, cabinets, and paint. They will also complete the remaining work before the following stage starts.

Phase 2:

Phase two, also known as the final clean, takes place after the site's construction is complete. This is the stage that requires the most cleaning effort and may take a few days for experts to complete. They concentrate on thoroughly cleaning all of the surfaces and, if necessary, repeat the first phase's procedures. Professional Cleaning Services Dallas TX will prepare the floor so that it looks the very best. This includes polishing marble or concrete flooring as needed. They also have access to carpet cleaning systems. By the time they finish this stage, the only tasks left should be touch-ups. Kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms receive special attention, but smaller areas are also dusted and cleaned. Additionally, they'll use a pressure washer to clean the home's outside.

Phase 3:

The final stage of the post-construction cleaning procedure is the touch-up clean. By this time, the project has been finished and the construction crew and contractors have finished their final walkthrough. It is therefore okay for the cleaning crew to clear any potential smudges off of the windows, doors, and mirrors. While some individuals prefer to complete this stage themselves, it makes sense to have professionals finish the cleaning process. The dust will have settled, so they can wipe down surfaces and make sure everything is pristine. This is due to the fact that they follow a checklist and are aware of any concealed spots that still need further cleaning. It's time to give the owner the keys after the last cleanup and touch-up.

A Guide to Cleaning Up after Construction

After a home construction or renovation project, you understandably want to start enjoying the results. However, the work area may be covered in filth. This filth may include various types of construction debris, sawdust, general grime and more. Cleaning after a construction project is a major undertaking, and there are a few steps that you can take to complete the work faster and with minimal hassle.

Start After the Dust Settles

You may be inclined to start cleaning the work area as soon as the construction has been completed. However, in many cases, dust and fine particles from the project may linger in the air. The last thing that you want is to clean the space now only to find that the area is once again coated with dust soon. The best time to clean up a construction zone is after all of the dust has settled and the air is clean.

Open the Windows

  You may be inclined to turn on a ceiling fan when a room is filled with construction dust, but this should be avoided. This will simply increase the amount of time that it takes for the dust to settle because the dust will continue circulating in the air. However, you can and should open external doors and windows, if possible. Doing so will allow some of the debris to work its way outdoors. Once you start cleaning the space, however, close the doors and windows. This will help you to contain the filth for easier cleanup.

Clean from the Top Down

  The construction dust can land on all surfaces in the room, including on the walls and ceiling. As you clean the ceiling and walls, some of the debris will inevitably fall downward. Because of this, it is often easier and faster to clean the ceiling first. Follow this by dusting off the air vents and light fixtures. Then, work your way down the walls and to the cabinets and counters before you start on the floors.

Use a Shop Vac

  Are you wondering what the best cleaning method is? Between dusters, brooms and vacuums, you have a few options available to consider. Dusters and brooms should be avoided. While you may be able to move some of the debris into a pile using these cleaning devices, you will also kick the dust back into the air. This means that you must then wait for the debris to settle again before continuing.

Your household vacuum is an option, but it may not be designed to handle the amount of debris in question. In fact, you may find yourself emptying the collection container every few minutes. The best cleaning device to use is a shop vacuum. This is a heavy-duty or industrial-grade vacuum that is specifically designed to handle big cleaning chores. You can use the shop vac to suction dirt off of the ceiling, walls, counters, cabinets and floors.

Wipe Down Hard Surfaces

  The shop vacuum will pull most of the dust and debris out of the room, but you may be dismayed to discover that a light layer of debris remains. If this is the case, it may be time to get out a clean cloth and a bucket of clean water. You can use a lightly damp cloth to wipe down everything from hard floors and cabinets to counters and drywall. Ensure that you carefully wring excess moisture from the cloth before wiping the surfaces. Also, remember to change out the water in the bucket from time to time and to continually clean off the cloth. Otherwise, you may discover that you are simply spreading wet dust around the room.

Wash the Windows

  Even after you have taken all of these steps to clean the construction area, there may still be one area that requires your attention. The windows may have collected a layer of dust as well. This can make the room seem dark and hazy even after all of the other debris has been removed. To make this cleaning task easier, you may wish to run the shop vac over the windows to remove loose debris. Then, use a streak-free glass cleaner and a dry cloth to clean the windows as you normally would. If the windows are very dirty, it may be necessary to repeat the process a few times in order to get them crystal clear.

The unfortunate reality is that it can take hours to thoroughly clean a construction area using the right techniques. This type of floor-to-ceiling cleaning project is labor-intensive, and it may be more frustrating than you initially think. After all, dust will inevitably start to circulate in the space again as soon as you start cleaning. Are you wondering if there is a better way to clean your space? At our Denver cleaning company, we offer specialized cleaning services for projects like this. Before you stress about the big cleaning task in front of you, contact us today to request an estimate.

How to Clean Mold ?

People often ask me how to get rid of mold or how to clean it. The most common question I get is “can’t I just spray bleach on it?” Sure, if you want to have a continuing problem that will end up costing you tens of thousands of dollars more. Bleach only kills surface mold, rapidly evaporates and leaves behind a residue of nitrogen, which is delicious mold food for the mold lurking below the surface. Not only can the mold grow back worse, but you could burn yourself fooling around with bleach.

Reinventing the Wheel

My advice is that if you need to get rid of mold, hire a professional who knows what they’re doing. It’s not something you can suddenly become an expert in, any more than you can suddenly become an expert electrician, plumber, engineer or race car driver. And in New York State, you cannot have a mold remediation (cleaning) without first having an assessment done by a licensed mold assessor who will take samples and send them to a lab. And after the remediation is finished by the licensed mold remediation contractor, the assessor must return to grade their homework and determine whether it passes or fails. That way you have checks and balances.

What to Expect in a Mold Cleaning

Every mold situation is different. There is no “one size fits all” solution. When I do an assessment, I take copious photographs so I can custom design a protocol or action plan for the remediator to follow. It depends on what the walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces are made of. It depends on what kind of furniture and other contents are present. It depends on what level of mold contamination is present. There are different levels of clean-up available depending on how bad the mold is. Below is one example of a protocol I designed for a past client to give you an idea of what was prescribed in that case. Please be aware that this was only one specific case which in no way may relate to your particular situation at all.

Mold Remediation Protocol for John Doe

General Safety Guidelines for All Areas:

Workers should wear appropriate full body protective clothing and masks with a greater than N-95 respirator. A negative vacuum should be created in the workspaces at all times with a HEPA vac that is vented to the outside. There should be four air exchanges per hour.

Treatment of All Contents:

All fabric and foam-containing items including mattresses, upholstered chairs, pillows, stuffed animals, luggage, tote bags, curtains and all paper and cardboard items should be discarded in sealed plastic bags. Rugs should be either discarded or HEPA vacuumed and steam cleaned. Clothes may be washed in hot water and detergent or dry-cleaned. All other objects, fixtures, furniture, contents, tools, electronics, exercise equipment, appliances, shelving, counters, etc. made of wood, plastic, metal, ceramic or glass may be HEPA vacuumed and hand-wiped with a mycocide such as Microban Plus. Items that have been stored in plastic bins can have only the exterior of the bins treated unless the contents were exposed to the air for any significant period of time. Paper items, books, documents and artwork that the occupants wish to save should be HEPA vacuumed then hand-wiped with a gentle mycocide. The client should let the remediation contractor know which items they wish to keep. The contents that are going to be saved should be placed in an outside pod or under plastic until the area is disinfected.

Utility Room:

After the contents have been safely stored or discarded, the small amount of insulation should be removed and discarded in a sealed plastic bag. The sheetrock should be removed a minimum of 18” beyond the visible mold and discarded in a sealed plastic bag. The studs and all other wood behind it and all other wood surfaces present in the utility room including the underside of the stairs should be HEPA vacuumed, abraded, and treated with a mycocide such as Fosters 4080 or equivalent then encapsulated with SMP-100 Mold Proofer or equivalent. The well tank and all other tanks, pipes, plumbing fixtures and electrical fixtures should be HEPA vacuumed and treated with a mycocide. The foundation block walls should be abraded, HEPA vacuumed and treated with Fosters 4080 or equivalent. The foundation flooring and ceiling should be HEPA vaccumed and treated with a mycocide.

House Interior:

After all the furniture and other contents have been cleaned and safely stored or discarded as indicated above, the carpeting should be HEPA vacuumed, removed and discarded in sealed plastic bags. The exposed floor should be HEPA vacuumed and treated with a mycocide. All natural wood doors, trim, beams, stairs, walls, ceilings, floors, shelving, etc. as well as vinyl and ceramic flooring should be HEPA vacuumed and treated with a clear mycocide as should the fireplace brick. Kitchen counters, cabinets, appliances, and all other surfaces as well as bathroom fixtures and all surfaces and laundry appliances should be HEPA vacuumed and treated with a mycocide.

Air scrubbers should run in all rooms for approximately an additional two days after the remediation has been completed and kept running until we return to perform the clearance testing.

After at least 48 hours of air scrubbing and not longer than 2 or 3 more days, pursuant to NYS law, the work areas should be re-inspected by us – not the abatement company, and the air tested in a post-abatement clearance test to determine whether the mold levels have been reduced to an acceptable level. This must be done before any installation of insulation, sheetrock or any new floor covering has been initiated.

Sofa and Loveseat Cleaning Idaho Tips

There are many techniques for cleaning a sofa or loveseat, but the most effective is using baking soda. Mixing a little baking soda with water and sprinkling it over the couch is an easy and efficient method. This treatment is good for removing odors and excess moisture. It should be left to sit for at least 30 minutes before vacuuming it up. Make sure to test the cleaning solution first on a hidden area before applying it to your sofa or loveseat.

After thoroughly washing your couch or loveseat, spot test it by spotting a hidden area. A hidden area is the back or inside the skirt. The fabric on the inside of the sofa is the same as the fabric on the outside, so if the cleaner appears to have a stain on there, you know that it has not penetrated through the fabric. If the stain is not visible, repeat the cleaning process until the spot is no longer visible.

To clean a solid stain, use a mixture of 3/4 cup warm water, 1/4 cup vinegar, and one tablespoon dish soap. This mixture works well for both synthetic and fabric upholstery. You can use this solution on the entire couch to remove the stain. If the solution is too strong, you can dilute it with water and spray it lightly on the sofa. After sprinkling it, allow it to dry. Visit sofa and loveseat cleaning idaho

After using the cleaning solution, you can apply it directly to the sofa or loveseat with a soft cloth. Then, gently wipe it with the dry cloth to remove the leftover moisture and stain. Air dry the entire sofa to avoid the risk of damaging the material. A few days of air drying the sofa will ensure that it dries completely. A thorough sofa and loveseat cleaning is the best solution for your home. But you don't have to use the same cleaning solution every time.

The most important step in cleaning a sofa and loveseat is to follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions carefully. If you are not sure how to clean a certain material, it could be ruined or void your warranty. Always check the label on the sofa and loveeat to ensure that you have a thorough knowledge of how to clean the material before you begin the cleaning process. The cleaner should be suitable for the materials used on the couch.

If you'd rather use a more effective cleaner, you should try using a steam cleaner. The steam will help clean the sofa and loveseat by using heat and water. Be sure to keep yourself away from the hot steam and move the sofa away from walls, which can cause burns. You should also use a dry brush before cleaning the sofa. The dry brush helps remove loose particles and brings the dust to the surface.

When cleaning your sofa and loveseat, always remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions. While it may sound like a simple task, improper cleaning techniques can result in permanent damage. It's important to use the correct cleaner for the material. Often, the tag of the sofa will include a cleaning code. For example, W stands for water-based cleaner. When applying a cleaning solution to your couch, always test it on a small patch of the couch to ensure that it is safe for your furniture.

If you've been unable to use the proper cleaner, you can use a steam cleaner instead. These machines work by using heat and water to clean fabric. You can find a steam cleaner that suits your needs. It can also be used on other types of fabrics, but you should be cautious when cleaning a polyester couch. The cleaning process will vary from room to room and requires care and attention. The right detergent will clean your sofa and loveseat and save you from a mess.

A fabric cleaner can be used for removing stains and odors. Different textiles require different cleaning agents. A portable upholstery and carpet cleaner is a great addition to your vacuum cleaner, but not designed for deep cleaning. To clean pet hair from the upholstery, use a lint roller. If your sofa has a wet-dry vac, it can remove moisture and stains from the sofa.

Dear Husband, Husband, J,

I am exhausted and angry.

I don’t feel like we have a marriage anymore.

I don’t even feel like we have a relationship anymore.

I don’t even feel like I know who you are or what you want anymore.

There are so many little things that set me off now, and I know that the intensity of my anger towards you isn’t fair; but I’ve reached a point where every little thing you do makes me angry in some way. I’ve reached a point where I feel as if nothing I say to you is taken seriously, where nothing I do around the house is appreciated, where I take no joy out of being in our house or living with our dogs and our cat or even find peace in being married to someone that I never interact with. I have become silently resentful. I have become silently hateful. We’ve become strangers, and it’s our own faults.

We’ve been over these topics before, but I feel the need to reiterate, in the event that I have been lax in communicating my feelings or have caused a misunderstanding for not being specific enough or clear enough about why I am angry…so I am going to do my best to explain why I am so angry about so many things.

I’ve typed this out because the last time I tried to talk to you about all of this in person you made a joke of what I was saying so that you could “see me laugh,” in an attempt to make me “feel better;” and I don’t feel like I got everything out that I needed to. Hopefully this can help us figure out how to save what we have, or help us make a tough decision if we can’t figure it out at all. I don’t know. I don’t even know anymore, J.

The House Doesn’t Clean Itself.

I know you know this. So when I bust my behind to ensure that the house is orderly and clean and smells good, I expect it to stay that way for as long as humanly possible. And in order for it to stay that way requires work on both of our parts. Every day.

When you leave food and trash and your stuff on the bedside table, or the side table in the living room, or on the counters in the kitchen for more than just a day; I get angry. You’re undoing all of my hard work!! By leaving your stuff behind you are communicating that you don’t respect all of the hard work that I’ve done. It doesn’t take more than a few moments to throw your trash away, or put your food in the fridge, or put your stuff away so that no one else has to be bothered by it. And yet, you don’t do this. You leave stuff everywhere you go – and then it falls on me to come in behind you and clean up your messes.

I’m not talking about little things like mail or packages or general day-to-day things that are transient. So don’t huff and roll your eyes. How can I be your wife when I’m too busy being your maid?

And I’m not a maid! I expect you to clean up after yourself after you make a mess, and then I won’t have to work so hard to both re-trace your steps and keep the house clean and tidy out of daily necessity. I’m tired of having to clean up after you. You’re not a child or a bachelor. Stop acting like one.

I shouldn’t have to enact a Bill of Congress to get you to do dishes or laundry. We both live here. If the dishwasher is full, empty it. If the laundry is done, swap it out. You’ll notice that I have largely stopped doing both of these things every single day because I am tired of being the only one who does. I know that doesn’t help solve the problem, but I am. Just. So. Done. J, I’m rebelling. Someone else can clean for hours-on-end on their days off and I can be the one to come home to a nice, neat, tidy home and not do anything. At all. Ever.

If you tell me that you are going to do something, I scratch it off my to-do list with the expectation that it will be done. But when you only do half of the job or don’t do it at all (which is virtually the same thing), then you’ve created more work for me to do instead, because – again – I have to come in behind you and do what you said you would.

….. Taking out the trash – to me – means that you go throughout the house and make sure that all of the trash-bins are empty – and then you take all of it out to the garbage can, and then take the garbage can to the curb for the weekly pick-up. You don’t just take out the kitchen trash and call it a day.

Heaven forbid you pile the trash up in the kitchen corner; and then wonder why I want to rip the cabinets off the walls.

….. Doing the laundry – to me – means that you set a timer and rotate the laundry each time that the alarm goes off. You don’t stop until all of the laundry is clean or we run out of laundry detergent. You don’t do a load and then leave it there to sour for me to come in behind you and re-wash and re-do. That’s gross.

….. Doing the dishes – to me – means that you load up the dishwasher, several times if needed, and then unload it and put all of the dishes away. If there are still dishes in the sink, either hand-wash them or set a timer to re-fill the dishwasher. You keep going until the dishes are done or the dishwasher is almost full to be run again later. Don’t just let dishes pile up and up and up over the course of a week and leave all of it for me to clean up when I have a day off.

Do you know how many times I’ve gone in to do the dishes in the sink and they have sat there so long that there is mold and mildew growing in the water? Do you know how bad that smells? That’s why I bought dish gloves, so that I wouldn’t have to touch any of that with my bare hands. Do you know how many times I have nearly thrown up while emptying out the sink?? Too many.

….. Cleaning up after the dogs – to me – means that you pick up their toys after they have strewn them all over the house, you pick up the kibble that they leave on the floor and put it back in their bowls, you wipe out the kennels with disinfectant wipes, vacuum up all of the dog hair, spot treat the carpets where they have made messes (then wet-vac over those same spots after the treatment has set), organize the treat cabinets to make sure that nothing will spill out of them, check the kibble bucket for food levels, bathe them, dry them, brush them out, clean up the shed, clean their ears, clip their nails… You do parts of that, and only then with my help. I do most of it on my own.

I know that you know how to use a vacuum and the wet-vac. Why am I the only one who uses them? Are you incapable of showing any initiative towards cleaning the floors? You’re happy to tell me that the dogs have made a mess, or that you’ve tracked dirt in, or that something has spilled; and you just leave it for me to clean up at my leisure – as if cleaning the house is somehow my favorite thing to do. And if by some miracle you do decide to put in some effort, you don’t empty the vacuum bucket, nor do you clean out the flutes of the wet vac. So that leaves more work for me to do before I can even begin cleaning up something else…

Listen, J, it isn’t the 1920’s. I am not interested in being a house-wife. You’re not a Butter and Egg Man with a fist full of Cabbage. I have a job outside of the home. I have responsibilities outside of “playing house.”

Have you ever even cleaned the stairs before? Or the tubs? Or the kitchen floor? Or the windows? Or the baseboards? Have you dusted? Or swept? There are so many things beyond just vacuuming that have to get done on a weekly basis to prevent the house from being a disaster. Do you think to do any of these things on your own without me asking?

Until you get down on your hands and knees and wipe up all of the dip that “you don’t leave everywhere,” you won’t fully understand how much dip is all over the bathroom. All the time. You don’t clean it up when it spills. I don’t even think you notice when you leave it all over the floor. Why should I have to clean that up? That’s not something I partake of. That is an exclusively You-Mess. A mess you make and never clean up. A mess that you “put a towel down to prevent,” but then hang that same towel on the back of the bathroom door so that your dip falls all over the floor. Oh, but you “shake the towel out in the shower so that there isn’t any on the towel before you hang it up,” you say: but you don’t wash the dip flakes down the drain. And there is always dip behind the bathroom door. Go look. Right now. I’ll bet you $20 there is gross brown powder on the shower baseboard behind the bathroom door.

Now you owe me $20.

I’ve seen my life flash before my eyes several times in the past few weeks: Over the years I constantly ask for you to help me do things…taking out the trash, helping with the dogs, folding your laundry, putting things away… until I can no longer stand to look at you and I die a resentful old hag who doesn’t even know the last time that she spoke to her husband in kindness.

Here’s the thing: You’re not “helping me out.” You’re an adult. My partner. When you do things around the house, you are simply doing your part. That’s why I’ve stopped asking you to “help me,” and now probably sound like a bitch to you when I tell you to do something or ask you why something is left on the floor…or in the sink…or isn’t put away…or isn’t cleaned up…

Asking you to “help me,” diminishes your value.

You are a fully functioning human being. You should not be viewed as my helper or assistant or someone who needs to take direction from me to be useful. You are useful all on your own. If there is something I need you to do that you’re not noticing, I should be able to say it, and you should be able to do it. But it’s Not for Me. It’s because it’s what needs to be done in our busy household. When you asks me to take the dogs out, or cook dinner, or whatever - you don’t mention it being for you, you don’t mention me “helping you”… Because it’s Not for You. I’m not your assistant, and you’re not mine.

Asking you to “help me,” diminishes our partnership.

You are my man. My equal. We might not always do things the same way, but that’s okay because we are not the same person. What’s important is that we work together to accomplish our main goal, which is to have a happy, healthy family (and a house that isn’t covered in dog fur, kitty litter, and old pizza boxes). I don’t want to boss you around. I certainly don’t want you to think that your purpose in this relationship is to “help me out,” because it’s not. Your purpose is to be a husband and a cat and dog-dad. And to kill spiders. And to reach things on the top shelf that I can’t. And to open jars that are screwed too tight.

Asking you to “help me,” puts undue responsibility on me.

I don’t own the responsibility of keeping our house organized and our fur-babies fed or clean or happy. It’s not solely my job. By framing our dynamic in that way, using phrases like “help me out” instead of simply asking you to do something, I’m taking on that ownership. There are lots of things I’d like to own in this life: a fancy house boat in Alaska, an expensive motorcycle with all the bells and whistles, a washing machine and drier that actually work… But 100 percent responsibility for our household and our pets is not one of those things. I only want 50 percent of that.

Sometimes I get so angry with your lack of personal responsibility for the duties within our home that I consider crafting a summoning circle and trading you to the Devil for a party sized bag of classic wavy lays potato chips. Seriously. Salty, golden-fried, crispy, carbohydrates have never let me down.

You Proposed With A Ring You Gave To Me Because I Was “Going Through A ‘Rough Time,’” and Proposed After A Time When I Was So Upset With You That I Had Stopped Wearing The Ring All Together.

I think about this a great deal, lately. Maybe that was a sign. Being so angry with you to the point that I didn’t even want to wear a reminder of how much you cared for me wasn’t so much of a good start to our particular engagement love story. Don’t get me wrong, my promise/wedding/whatever-you-want-to-call-it/ring is great. I’m not complaining, but when you have to joke with your family that you “had to make sure that she had left the ring in the bathroom (because she blatantly refused to wear it anymore since she was so angry at me)…” sours the beginning of that tale. Not very romantic.

Should we have gotten married so soon after? “Our wedding was exactly/mostly/almost/just what we wanted, though it would have been nice if more of our family and friends could have been there with us; and yes, we tend to ignore the blatantly rude and uncomfortable comments from some family members about how quickly it happened or how small the venue was, or who allegedly wasn’t invited…” not a very romantic wedding story either. Would any of this be different if we have waited longer? If I had saved up more money? If we had somehow managed to get each and every one of our family members together for the wedding day? Would anything have changed? Would our relationship be sweeter? More cherished? Easier?

Your step-mother doesn’t even like me anymore, anyways. I know that your opinion is the only one that should matter, but I have craved having a large family for so long that I am truly, deeply, hurt that now I won’t get the opportunity to build a relationship with one set of my in-laws, or my brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces, and nephews on that side of the family. I’m upset about that. I’m. Fucking. Upset. About. That. Because I love them, and I have fallen out of familial favor simply because I couldn’t afford a bigger venue to accommodate everyone’s demands. I am blamed for that. Not you. You’re still the “favorite son.”

You saw all of your step-mother’s text messages. You know. I bet she doesn’t talk to you that way.

You Have No Follow-Through When You Tell Me You’re Going to Do Something.

You make me all of these promises about yard work or garage work or house work or taking care of yourself or “being better,” and yet you don’t follow through on any of the things that you say you’re going to. You let things go until the “promise” that you made holds no weight. Maybe you forgot? Maybe you don’t care? Maybe you think I’ll forget that you made the promise? Ha! Whatever the reason, you do this so often as to become the norm and then wonder why I don’t believe you when you tell me you’re going to do something.

I get that you’re tired at night. I understand that your job takes a lot out of you. I know that you want to relax on the weekends – me too! Me. Fucking. Too. But if you’re not going to do what you say you’re going to then don’t even bother making me a promise. Because now, as it stands, I believe very little – if anything – of what you say.

You’re going to clean up all of the leaves in the yard before the snow comes? You’re going to tear down the rebar and brush “next weekend?” You’re going to work with me to clean out the garage? You’re going to take the tree you cut down to the curb so that it can be taken away? You’re going to work with your step-father to get the kitchen cabinet fixed? You’re going to fold your laundry? You’re going to clean up the dirt from when you knocked my cactus off the windowsill? You’re going to fix the front door? You’re going to switch out the litter in the litter-box? You’re going to find the dog’s tracker in the yard? You think I’m beautiful? You love me? I’m amazing? I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to you? If I can’t believe you when you say one thing, how can I believe you when you say another?

When you say “I love you,” lately, I don’t know that I can believe you. It sounds false. It sounds like you say it only because you feel like it’s the right thing to do. A husband is supposed to tell his wife that he loves her as she leaves for work, right? It seems forced, like it’s the only thing you can say that doesn’t make me angry.

It mostly just makes me sad.

We Aren’t Intimate Anymore.

You’re aware. You told me before our first Christmas living together that you would look into addressing this. You told me since before we even moved out of the apartment that you would look into addressing this. You told me before we got married that you would look into addressing this. You haven’t.

You say that you don’t like going to the doctor and hearing “bad things” about yourself. You need to understand that, as an adult, you have a responsibility to be healthy for yourself and for the people who love you. If you refuse to take care of yourself, then you are telling the people that you love that you aren’t willing to take care of them either. When you continue to refuse to go to the doctor or “address the issue,” you deprive me, as your wife, of a fundamental necessity and pillar of our marriage. I need to be intimate with you. I turn to you for all of my intimate needs and they haven’t been met since July of last year. We are quickly coming up on a year of not being intimate together, and that is unacceptable to me. It makes me so angry, that I don’t even have accurate words at this point.

To you this might just be something that “you don’t have time for,” or that “you’re just too tired to deal with.” Or maybe you think “it’s not that big of a deal,” or “it hasn’t been that long.” Possibly you think “I don’t crave it anymore,” or “My wife doesn’t initiate anymore so she must not want it either.”

So let me shed some light on that subject:

I don’t initiate anymore because I deserve to be wanted and craved and desired by my husband, and I am tired of being the only one who makes any passes. When a person is continually denied, over and over; why would they continue to make a pass at someone who they already know will turn them down?

This lack of intimacy has affected how I feel about myself. I am tired of not feeling sexy around you, even when I buy and wear new lingerie and purposefully make an effort to be sexy. Do I need to lose weight? Do I need to start waxing? Do I need to grow my hair out? Do I need to start getting my nails done, or buy cuter clothes? How do I become prettier? Should I wear make-up more often? How do I become more of the type of woman that my husband actually desires?

You should see the degradation of my Google history. It has become more shallow and desperate over the past few months.

I am a healthy, virile, sex-deprived woman and I need to have sex. With you. The longer you go without addressing the issue, the closer I get to exploding and demanding that we see other people in a blatant fit of anger. What else am I supposed to do, J?! Have an affair? Find a pool-boy to visit with your dubious permission? I won’t settle for that.

I don’t want anyone else. I want you. And I want to build a fucking family of my own one day.

We Don’t Communicate Anymore.

You laugh things off. You make light of topics that I try to talk to you about. Maybe this is your way of diffusing my distress when I bring up uncomfortable topics. Other times you will go quiet and say that you simply “have nothing to say.” Maybe you go quiet because you get defensive and angry in your own right when I demand answers of you. I have tried over and over again to express to you how I am feeling about all of this, and it isn’t working. Maybe we’re past words. Maybe it’s all down to actions at this point.

I told you that if things didn’t get better by July that we would need to have a serious discussion about where our relationship is headed. I don’t think you took me seriously. I meant what I said. We’ve reached terminal velocity, and I don’t know if we can pull up. I’m afraid that we can’t pull up.

I have asked your best friend for advice. I have asked my mother for advice. I have asked my brother for advice. I have Googled and scoured the internet for answers. I have looked up books and gone on counseling websites for direction. I haven’t found any answers that seem to have helped. At all. I’m running out of ideas on how to make things easier for you while taking care of my own responsibilities and emotional needs.

Maybe I shouldn’t make things easy for you? Maybe if you begin to feel the pressure or see the struggle, you will realize that we’ve begun to fall apart?

I don’t vent to you every day because I don’t want to overburden you. I clean every chance I get so that all you have to do is come home and put your feet up. I have work extra overtime with minimal complaints so that I can contribute more financially. It’s running me down and I am running out of energy and desire to continue existing this way. What’s the point of doing all this extra work if we won’t even have a relationship that benefits from it?

The way I see it, you mostly stop loving a person the same way you stop respecting them. It can happen all at once if something enormous and terrible happens, but for the most part, it happens in inches. In a thousand tiny moments of contempt that unravel the image you had of the person you thought you knew. Until, there is just nothing left to love about the other person. That’s when you begin to love the idea of not loving them more. I feel like we’re on that road, and I don’t want to keep going down it.

You ask me what I want you to do: I want you to be true to your word. I want you to see what we had (have?) and work with me to prevent losing it.

We Don’t Spend Any Time Together Anymore.

This is a problem that we both contribute to. We work different shifts on different days. We text each other more than we speak. When we have days off together we don’t actually spend any time together. We sit at home and ignore one another. We play on our phones. We dive into videogames. We live separate lives in separate rooms. We eat separate meals and pass each other by, day in and day out. This is not a marriage. This is less than a friendship. We are barely even roommates at this point. Roommates would see each other more than we do.

I want to fall in love with you again. I want to learn what your new dreams and desires are. I want us to actively seek to spend time with one another. I want us to have a honeymoon. I want us to explore the state we live in together. I want us to travel. I want to spend time with you when you aren’t trying to impress your friends at the expense of my wants, needs, and feelings. I want you to act as if you are still dating me, still vying for my affection and attention, still hoping that I will chose you above anyone else to spend my time with, as if you don’t know if I will say “yes” to your proposal. I want you to seek me and pine for me and vie for me and wish that I could be yours.

Because it feels like now that you’ve got me, you don’t even want me.

But I Love You.

I am so unhappy right now, but I cling to this marriage and I cling to the idea that I can fix all of the problems that we have between us and bring us back to the excited newly-weds that we used to be even before we were married. We were happier before we started seeing each other all the time. Before we moved in together. Before we got married. Before we switched jobs. Before we got another dog. Before moving to Baldwin. Before this house.

But I love you, even to the detriment of myself. I love your eyes when you laugh, they go all warm and chocolate-y and golden. I love how you smile when you know that you’ve pissed me off – but know that you’ll get away with whatever it is because you know I think you’re cute. I love how you give me hugs and let me nuzzle into your chest and how you hold me until I stop crying and shaking from stress. I love how you can make me laugh even when I don’t want to. I do, truly, love you.

But now I’m afraid that love just isn’t enough.

Sometimes it just Isn’t. Fucking. Enough.

I know that marriages take work from both people, and that nothing is ever 50/50. I know that there will be days when I am 30 and you are 70, or you are 20 and I am 80. I know this. I am not asking for you to be perfect, but I am asking that you be present in this relationship enough to recognize that there is a real set of issues here and that we have reached a point where these compounding issues are a threat to what we are trying to build together.

We used to actually enjoy being in each other’s company. Now everything seems strained and awkward and exhausting. I don’t want to get a divorce. As much as I knew it was the right thing to do in my last failed marriage, I hated it. And now – God, now I don’t want a second divorce but I don’t know any other way that this failing marriage will go since we don’t even seem to be on the same page anymore.

I cannot fix all of our issues on my own. I cannot force you to adopt new habits or a new perspective. I cannot force you to go to a doctor. I cannot force you to want me the same way that I want you. All I can do is keep trying to communicate with you, keep trying to explain to you what is going on in my heart and in my head.

All I can do it keep my word, keep cleaning, and keep “scheduling” fights with you so that we can get all of this bullshit out into the open. I want us to succeed. I want us to pull up out of this nose-dive. I want to be your wife.

But God, I am tired, J. I am so fucking tired, and I don’t know what else to do.

So, just read this. And talk to me. Tell me everything in your heart and your brain that pisses you off or makes you angry or drives you crazy, tell me anything and everything so that I can find you again. I’ve lost you. I’ve lost this marriage. I’ve lost myself. And I don’t know where to go from here.

If you won’t work with me to navigate all of this, then I don’t know what else I can do other than Nothing At All.

Carpet Cleaning Tips – Some Of The Best!

Carpets are beautiful and useful things to have in the home. However, they are often a nightmare to keep clean, especially in high traffic areas, or large households. While it is a difficult task, we have compiled several carpet cleaning tips for you to utilize, should the need arise.

Wall To Wall Carpet Cleaning

A lot of homeowners love the beauty and the soft, cushy feel of a carpet underneath their feet. Especially if they don’t like the way their floors look, they choose to cover the entire floor with wall-to-wall carpet. But then, they would soon discover to their horror that they need to clean their carpet. How is it possible to clean up wall-to-wall carpeting effectively without missing a spot?

Here’s the step-by-step procedure on cleaning wall-to-wall carpeting:

Pre-Cleaning Preparations

The first time that you purchase your carpet, inquire with the distributor or a professional cleaner on what are the best cleaning services queens to use. These would include spot and stain removers and carpet shampoos.

If there are individuals with allergies in your home, you might want to buy extra HEPA bags for your vacuum. Hepa bags can kill dust mites, carpet beetles, and other pests that have gotten in your carpet.

Cleaning Procedure

Remove every piece of furniture that is sitting on your carpet. Take them outside or put them in another room.

Scrutinize your carpet for any items that can damage the vacuum, such as bits of paper, paper clips, string, coins, tacks, or nails.

Do an initial sweep of your carpet with a vacuum cleaner to remove all dust, dirt, and debris. Switch to a hose attachment to suck out the dust and debris where the carpet touches your wall.

If you find spots or stains in your carpet, use the cleaning solution that was recommended to you by the cleaner. Another way to remove stains is with the help of a carpet shampoo machine. Once you have removed the stain, you can speed up drying with a fan or hairdryer.

Divide your carpet into sections. You can use masking tape for this. Start by vacuuming one part using vertical up and down strokes, followed by overlapping diagonal strokes. That will help you to get all the dust and dirt out. Make sure that you vacuum a section carefully and thoroughly before moving on to the next part.

Before you place the furniture back on top of the carpet, make sure that you dust and clean the solid surfaces and legs and vacuum the upholstery. This way, any dirt and dust that is still present on the furniture will not fall on your carpet.

If your carpet is too dirty or shows signs of discoloration, it is best to get professional help from a carpet cleaner.

Water Damaged Carpet Cleaning

For residents living in areas that are prone to flooding, owning a carpet can be a massive pain in the neck, especially if floodwaters somehow manage to get inside the house and drench the carpet in muddy water and sewage.

While most carpet owners would prefer to throw out water damaged carpets, many would want to save them, especially if it is a family heirloom or a priceless antique.

If your carpet has been water damaged, you need to do a lot of things to save it. Not correctly fixing the problem can result in carpets emitting a foul, musty smell, or, worse, ends up becoming a growth bed for molds and mildew.

Before you start work on your carpet, you need to determine what type of water has seeped into it. If the water that caused the damage is “clean” water, you don’t have to worry about contaminants. You only need to extract the water with a pump or shop-vac and let it dry.

On the other hand, if it was gray, brown, or even black floodwaters, it may have been severely contaminated. Rather than have it become a health hazard in your home, it is more advisable to throw it away.

Process

If floodwaters damaged your carpet but not so extensive, here is what you need to do:

Get as much water out of the carpet as you can with the help of a shop-vac or pump.

Inspect the padding of the carpet. If the floodwaters have ruined it, throw it out.

Wash the carpet using mild wool detergent until the water runs clear.

Once you have finished washing it, carry it outside and let it dry in the air. Make sure that your carpet is lying flat.

Once the carpet is dry, scrutinize it again. If there are still stains or there is a foul smell coming off from it, you might need to repeat the above steps or, better yet, take it to a professional carpet cleaner for a more thorough cleaning.

If you had to remove the ruined carpet padding and throw it away, take the carpet to a carpet repair shop and have the padding replaced.

Before re-installing your carpet, make sure that the floor is spotless and dry.

Cleaning Carpets on Walls

Did you know that some carpets are not for installing on the floor? These carpets on walls or “wall carpets” are decorative pieces. You have probably seen several samples of these carpets. Most wall carpets are of the exotic Persian variety. Some cute novelty carpets resemble paintings.

One carpet would have kittens playing on a similarly patterned rug. Undeniably, one of the most popular designs of wall carpets, depicts dogs gathered around a table playing Poker. Wall carpets are not just for decoration, though. Some homeowners have discovered that carpets on walls can help to improve insulation and quality of sound.

Carpets on walls obviously will not get stepped on, unlike regular floor carpets. However, they need to be cleaned and maintained in the same way as carpet flooring.

Here is the procedure for maintaining and cleaning wall carpets:

When mounting a wall carpet, never place it in a bright sunlight exposed spot. That will prevent the colors from fading. Also, do not install it in places that are humid or damp to avoid damage by prolonged exposure to moisture.

To prevent dust from accumulating on your wall carpet, dust it briskly with a feather duster every day. Do not pound on the carpet, however, so that the fibers do not get depressed.

Using a hand vacuum cleaner, vacuum your wall carpet every week. Take note that the fibers on a wall carpet may be thicker than a regular floor carpet. Divide the carpet into sections, making sure that you vacuum each part thoroughly before moving on to the next.

Every month, it may be necessary to remove the carpet from the wall to give it a more thorough vacuuming with a floor vacuum cleaner. Make sure that you wipe the wall with a moist cloth so that dirt and dust will not stick to the bottom of your carpet. Dry the wall entirely before installing the carpet back.

If your carpet is on a wooden wall, make sure to check the back of it periodically. There might be termites or carpet beetles that have accumulated behind it, which may damage both your carpet and your wall. If there is insect infestation, call up a professional cleaner immediately. They have the right pesticides to use, which will not damage your carpet.

Bring your wall carpet to a professional cleaner yearly. The cleaning company will not only deep clean and shampoo your carpet, but also spray retardants to give it a much longer life.

Antique Carpet Cleaning Tips

Antique handmade carpets are priceless keepsakes, especially for individuals who can purchase them at their horrendous price tags or those who have inherited them from a deceased loved one. Although handmade carpets are more durable than their commercially made counterparts, you need to maintain them properly so that they will last for additional decades.

Here are some tips that you need to keep in mind so that you can preserve your antique carpet in its pristine condition.

Get the Wrinkles Out

Because of its considerable age, your antique carpet is sure to be delivered to your home rolled up or, worse, folded. But when you unfurl it, you will discover that it has a lot of wrinkles. You need to get the wrinkles out immediately because it may cause tremendous wear on the ridges and edges of the carpet. To get the wrinkles, roll it up as tightly as possible without tying it. You can press it between two heavy pieces of furniture for a couple of hours. Slowly unroll the carpet. If there are still wrinkles, continue doing this procedure until the carpet is wholly smooth. For persistent wrinkles, get a steam iron and set it to wool. Lightly press it over the carpet to remove the wrinkles.

Regular Vacuuming

If you want to maintain your carpet and hopefully preserve it for posterity, you need to vacuum it every week or more frequently if it gets stepped on a lot. Vacuuming will remove dirt, which can sink deep into the carpet and tear at the fibers. Also, regular vacuuming is necessary to get rid of beetle or moth larvae that have settled in between the carpet fibers. As a final reminder, do not use power brushes on an antique carpet. The hard bristles can practically strip the threads from your carpet.

Clean Up Spills

Spills are the bane for owners of antique carpets. If there are any spills on your carpet, you need to clean it up immediately. As the spill gets absorbed by the carpet fibers, the higher is the likelihood that the stains will become permanent. Always blot up the spill or stain with clean white rags or paper towels starting from the edges going toward the center. Never rub at the stain. These two procedures will prevent the stain from spreading outward and thus getting bigger. Water-soluble stains can be removed by alternately dripping water to the spot (for diluting the stain) and blotting it with paper towels. Remove urine stains with a diluted mixture of white vinegar and water, followed by blotting with paper towels. For tough stains, it is best to bring your carpet to a professional cleaner.

Carpet Cleaning Tips: How to Remove Specific Stains

Never treat two stains on a carpet equally. There are so many types of stains, and there is no single remedy for all of them. To get rid of stains on your carpet, you need to know what caused them and what would be the best way to get them out.

Since there are just too many things that can cause stains in your carpet, this article shall concentrate on the specific stains that you are most likely to encounter.

Carpet Cleaning For Fruit Stains

Fruit stains, whether from the fruit itself or commercially prepared juices, are tough to remove if the carpet has absorbed it. You need to work on the spill immediately before the stain becomes permanent. First, blot out the fruit juice and scrape away fallen fruit bits. Prepare a cleaning solution made out of 1 teaspoon white vinegar, one teaspoon mild detergent, and 1 quart of warm water. Apply the solution on the stain and let it air dry. Once dry, vacuum it gently. If the stain persists, do the procedure all over again.

Bathroom Cleaning And Disinfecting 101

Now that we spend more time indoors, probably at home with all the family, your bathroom(s) might need a little extra care. Wet towels on the bathroom door, toothpaste glued in the sink: the usual. But, during this current lockdown, a cleaned and disinfected bathroom is crucial to prevent COVID-19 and gain some precious peace of mind at home.

Tailor Maid Cleaning will show you how to clean your bathroom the best way. We usually use mild or natural disinfectants, but you can opt to use stronger ones if you want to.

Toilet 

Clean: To begin, clean your toilet from the outside in. Add your favorite toilet bowl cleaner just below the rim. Let it sit while you work on the rest of the toilet. With a multi-purpose cleaner, spray the whole outside. Scrub everything from the top down, including the hinges at the base. Finally, clean the inside of the rim and work downward, wiping the remainder of the bowl. Flush. 

Maintain: To keep your toilet fresh during deep cleaning, try DIY Fizzy Toilet Bombs. Not only will they help loosen the soil, but it will help keep your toilet smelling fresh! 

Shower/Bath 

Clean: To clean your shower, remove everything from the shower, including the curtain and liner. Secondly, add one-part vinegar to one-part water to a baggie then place it over the showerhead and secure it tightly. Thirdly, spray your favorite cleaner all over the shower and tub then let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Fourthly, use your preferred sponge or a Magic Eraser to clean away the grime. Finally, remove the baggie from the showerhead and rinse the whole shower and tub clean. 

Maintain: To prevent the buildup of soap scum and mildew, use a thin layer of car wax on the walls. DO NOT apply wax to the tub to prevent slipping. For the shower door, apply Rain-X according to the directions on the bottle.  

Sink & Counter 

Clean: Clear all objects around and off the counter and sink. To clean, sprinkle baking soda on the faucet, handles, basin, and counters. Next, spray the sink and counters with vinegar and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. After waiting, take an old toothbrush and scrub hard-to-reach spaces and built-up areas well. Wipe away dirt and grime with paper towels or microfiber cloths. 

Maintain: To keep the sink and counter’s clean and organized, practice wiping the sink after each use. Organizers, such as the Toothbrush Sanitizer & Toothpaste Holder, help to maintain and organize hygiene. Over-the-door shoe organizers also double as placeholders for hairdryers, brushes, hair products, etc. To keep the faucet shiny and spotless, apply a thin coat of metal polish with a microfiber cloth. 

Floor & Rugs 

Clean: Start by removing everything from the floor. For a thorough clean, sweep your floor with a rubber broom to catch dirt, dust, hair, and other well-hidden objects. Next, mop the floor with a flat mop for better accessibility. Then start mopping from the furthest corner of the floor to the door. Let dry. Wash rugs regularly. 

Maintain: To keep the floor clean, keep a Swiffer Sweep and Vac in the bathroom for quick pickups. Also, hang bath rugs up after each use and wash frequently. To discourage mold and mustiness, try using a heated drying rack. 

Mirror 

Clean: Start cleaning your mirror by taking some cotton balls or microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol and spot clean stuck-on grime and stubborn dirt. Next, use a vinegar spray to clean the mirror and wipe dry with microfiber cloths. 

Maintain: To prevent fogging and smudging, apply Rain-X to the mirror and reapply when water droplets stop beading. After taking a shower or bath, pat the mirror dry with paper towels. 

Walls & Ceiling 

Clean: If you have anything hanging on your walls, take them down. Use a microfiber broom to wipe away the dust and cobwebs. With a Magic Eraser sponge, remove any stubborn marks and stains. Next, mop the walls with a wet Swiffer or microfiber mop. Let dry before replacing any hangings. 

Maintain: To keep the walls and ceiling clean, always use the bathroom fan for proper ventilation. Routinely check for water stains and signs of mold. Consider placing a moisture absorbing product in your bathroom to eliminate extra moisture buildup. 

There you go! These essential guidelines will help you maintain your bathroom at top shape during the lockdown. But, if you need some extra help or want a professional disinfecting job, don’t hesitate to book your cleaning service with us.

Try These Spring Cleaning Tips for a More Functional Garage Space

Written by Teri Watson and published on https://www.tailoredliving.com/.

Life as we know it is on pause right now. People are out of work, working from home or even working reduced hours. We’re not allowed to congregate in groups of 10 or more and that means not seeing our own family. While this is a hard time for everyone, the good news is that we all have a lot more time on our hands. If you’re not sure what to do with all the free time that you suddenly have on your hands, how about doing some spring cleaning in your garage so you can have a more functional space?

Spring Cleaning Tips to Keep Your Home and Garage Immaculate

Today’s house cleaning is very different from just a few decades ago. Once upon a time, floors were cleaned by sweeping (brooms) and mopping (heavy mops and hot, soapy water), or scrubbing floors on hands and knees. Rugs were rolled up, hauled outside, hung on a line and beaten to knock all the dust and dirt out. Renewed by the sunshine and fresh air, they were then carried back inside and unrolled onto the freshly scrubbed floors. Now we are bombarded by multiple companies all advertising different products. We’re talking at least a two-person job here! However, with all this confusion, there are still some websites offering guides on the best products, for example, Best Products Pro have produced a guide on the top 10 best mops on the market right now. But there are plenty of other websites like this!

Thankfully, we have cleaning assistance our great grandmothers could only dream about.

Vacuum cleaners

Swiffer Wet Jets

Robotic vacuum cleaners and mops

Dishwashers and washing machines

Self-cleaning ovens

Numerous whirring, spinning cleaning gadgets

As you’ll see, the first and perhaps most important equipment you need is a vacuum cleaner. We’d recommend a corded stick vacuum for cleaning out the garage. These are lightweight and easy to carry around. Go ahead and read about the best corded stick vacuums, buy some cleaning products, and consider a robotic cleaner (if budget allows).

But despite all this modern technology, Spring cleaning is still a real chore. Houses continually accumulate dirt, dust bunnies and cobwebs, and the ritual Spring cleaning goes beyond everyday tasks to a deeper clean.  Here are some helpful tips from Tailored Living® for successful Spring cleaning of your home and garage.

Tip One:  Clear away the clutter and get organized

Don’t try to clean a room that looks like a bomb went off. Pick up and put away whatever is out of place like shoes, jackets, books and dishes. Once the area is cleared, it can be effectively cleaned.

Assemble your cleaning supplies so you have what you need without hunting down window cleaner, dust cloths or furniture polish. A handy tote can make it easy to go from room to room.

Order the chores in a way that makes sense. Don’t vacuum and then dust furniture and ceiling fans that will dump dust back on the cleaned floor.

Going room by room lets you tackle this big job in smaller pieces, but realize this is probably not a one-day task.

Tip Two:  Start with the walls and ceilings

Wipe down walls and ceilings to eliminate dust and cobwebs (dry Swiffer, vacuum attachment or a Shop Vac in the garage).

Wash away smudges, spackle nail holes and dings and apply touch-up paint.

Wash baseboards, handrails, doors, doorknobs and switch plates.

Dust light fixtures, light bulbs and ceiling fan blades.

Wash vent covers, then coat with car wax to slow dust buildup.

Dust or vacuum window coverings; toss washable curtains in the laundry.

Wash windows, window sills and screens, inside and out.

Tip Three:  Clean horizontal surfaces and furnishings

Vacuum sofa, chairs, ottomans or other upholstered furniture.

Dust all picture frames, knick-knacks and decorative décor.

Dust furniture and cover scratches on wood with furniture oil or stain.

Polish mirrors and dust monitors, TVs and computer screens with a tech-safe cleaner like Windex® Electronics Wipes.

Launder throw rugs and (washable) upholstered cushions and pillows.

In the kitchen, clean the oven, stove top and microwave; scrub countertops, back splash, faucets, cabinet fronts and knobs.

In the bathroom, scour the tub, shower, toilet and all fixtures; clean and reseal grout lines.

In the garage, dust the water heater, electrical panel, garage door opener, etc.

Wash the laundry sink, countertops and inside and outside of the washer and dryer.

Tip Four:  Declutter and clean cabinets and closets

Enclosed cabinets and closets are wonderful for hiding clutter, but they can also accumulate items you completely forget about.  Going into declutter mode, label some boxes for keep, garage sale, donate or discard and begin the assault!

In the kitchen:

Start with the refrigerator, throwing out any expired or unrecognizable foods.

Empty all cabinets; wash the shelves and drawers before replacing contents.

In the pantry, discard any expired spices or foods.

Sort dishes and pans and get rid of duplicates, non-working appliances, or things you don’t use.

In the bathroom and laundry room:

Empty out any cabinets, drawers or vanity; wash shelves and drawers.

Discard outdated medications or cosmetics.

Sort laundry supplies; replace what you need and throw out old or unused items.

Closets in bedrooms, hallways, entryways and living rooms

Empty each closet and sweep, vacuum and wash down the interior of the closet including shelves and drawers.

Sort items before returning them to the closet: keep, toss, donate, or move elsewhere.

Install a closet organizational system if closet space is not being efficiently used.

Repaint the closet if needed, enhance the lighting and install an aromatic freshener like cedar, rosemary or lavender to deter bugs.

NOTE: Closets alone may take up to one full day.

In the garage:

Admittedly, the garage is about 100 times worse than any other space, but the same principles apply–decluttering, cleaning, organizing and putting away. We recently needed our garage door repaired so we searched for Garage door repair services near me, I finally came across a great company!

If your garage is a complete jumble, Tailored Living has the ideal solution for efficient garage storage with a system of metal garage storage cabinets from our private label, PremierGarage Metal Cabinet Series.  Specialty components, designed to fit together in any configuration you desire, allow you to customize one wall or your entire garage with floor-to-ceiling elegant, black powder-coated metal cabinets. You can outfit any size space with commercial-grade garage cabinet components, including a multi-use locker, two-door base cabinet, five-drawer tool cabinet, multi-function cabinet, wall cabinet, corner wall cabinet and worktops in bamboo or stainless steel.

Cabinets and lockers have 1,000-pound weight capacity to store your heaviest tools and equipment, and the shelves and drawers have 100- to 200-pound weight capacity to ensure safe storage of everything. Additional benefits include locking doors, double-walled, dent-resistant doors, 18-gauge welded steel frames, soft-close hinges and slides, and more.

Tip Five:  Finishing touch … the floors

Now that everything above the floors is clean and decluttered, the final step is cleaning the floors to eliminate all the dust and dirt from your home and garage (until the kids get home or the dog comes in).

Vacuum the carpet, rugs, stairs, hallways and hard surfaces like wood, tile and concrete.

Move furniture and vacuum underneath; including refrigerator and the refrigerator coils, the washer and dryer and the lint trap.

Mop all floors with appropriate cleaners for the individual surfaces such as hardwood, Porcelain tile, epoxy garage floor coverings, laminate, slate, concrete and marble.

Well done! You have survived another Spring cleaning and your home and family thank you. If the decluttering steps took longer than you’d like, talk with your local Tailored Living designer and get on the pathway to custom storage and organization solutions that will streamline year round home maintenance.

We are whole home organization specialists, dedicated to helping people live more comfortably in their space. We can help with closet organizers, entryways, home office design, pantries, laundry rooms, garages and custom garage flooring.
