Cleaning Tips From Maid2Clean York

On this page we have listed a selection of helpful hints and tips all designed to help remove those tricky stains and complete those troublesome cleaning tasks. If you have some cleaing tips that you don't see listed on this page that you would like to share, please feel free to send us an email, which you can find on our contact us page.
Removing Stickers
Removing stickers is often a problem on most surfaces, leaving behind a sticky, dust-collecting residue. Nail varnish remover is a very good substance to use to remove these stubborn marks.
For other sticky materials such as chewing gum on carpets, don't try to pull it off. Freeze it by placing ice cubes on it and, once frozen, it will break off easily.

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 put a few tea spoons of salt down it every couple of weeks followed by boiling water straight from the kettle. The combination of salt and boiling water helps to unblock and clean the pipes.
If you’re going on holiday, try pouring some baking soda down your 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.

Red Wine Stains
Spilt red wine is perhaps the most notorious of stains -- not just the sight of it, 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 build-ups 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.
