Cleaning Tips
Obviously our cleaners don't need any tips but
there may be the odd occasion where a Maid2Clean
cleaner isn't around when you need them! So on
this page we've tried to provide some helpful
tips for those difficult to remove stains and
those awkward cleaning jobs. If you have any
tips not covered here that you'd like to share
please send them to us, our email address is at
the bottom of this page. Please also feel free
to contact us if you need any advice on
something that's not covered here.
Cleaning Expert (UK)

tips: indoors; outdoors; personal cleanliness;
cleaning equipment; stain removal and much
more...to enable you to not only enjoy a
cleaner, more comfortable environment - whether
it is in your home, garden or work place - but
also to minimise wasted time and energy as much
as possible.

Blocked Sinks
Blocked sinks can be a real problem and
it's always better to prevent the problem rather
than have to fix it later! To prevent your sink
from becoming blocked, every couple of weeks put
lots of salt down it, followed by boiling water
straight from the kettle. Repeat this once more
and you will hopefully never have blocked
drains. The combination of salt and boiling
water down the sink helps to unblock and clean
the pipes, resulting in you not getting that
sinking feeling!
Pour some baking soda down yo ur
drains and plugholes before you go away to keep
them smelling fresh for your return.

Baking Soda
This is a very versatile cleaning product
and completely harmless to most surfaces. Use a
damp cloth sprinkled with baking soda to get rid
of heavy dirt and grime. The baking soda will
cut straight through the grease.

Glass Cleaning
Common ways of cleaning glass effectively are
using glass cleaners and chamois leathers. Apply
the glass cleaner with a cloth and buff up with
another dry cloth.

Removing Stickers
Removing stickers is often a problem on most
surfaces, leaving behind a sticky
dust-collecting residue. Nail varnish remover is
very effective at removing such a stubborn mark.
For other sticky materials such as chewing gum
on carpets, don't try to pull it off. Freeze it
first by placing ice cubes on it. Once frozen it
will break off easily.

Red Wine Stains
Spilt red wine can be one
of the worst nightmares, not just the sight of
the stain but also the pungent smell. Using
common salt can help to remove these stains by
soaking up the colour. Sprinkle a little salt
over the stained area and leave to absorb the
colour. Then simply brush the salt off the area,
and use biological detergent to remove the
remaining stain.

Oven Cleaning
Purchase a general oven cleaner from your
supermarket and apply to your whole oven, after
removing all rods and trays. Use a sponge and
scourer to remove any stubborn buildups and
rinse with clean hot water.

Blinds
The most thorough way of cleaning mini-blinds is
to take them off of the window and wash them in
the bathtub using a mild detergent, warm water
and a sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.

Leather Furniture
Cleaning leather is a lot different from common
sofa materials. Instead of using a vacuum on the
sofas it is best to use a damp clean cloth to
remove dust.
