Your top tips

step one: stick to a routine
  • Try to stick to a routine if possible and you will not have to rush around cleaning when you know visitors are coming.

  • Do everything, even skirting boards and under the sofa cushions regularly, then it isn’t so hard.
    T. McCulloch
  • It’s no good saying there isn’t time, you need to make time.
    J. Gibbins
  • A good organised routine is the best bet and always keep tidying up behind you.

step two: use the right product
  • White vinegar is great for cleaning mirrors.

  • Lemon juice and white vinegar work wonders as general
    all-round cleaners that are friendly to the environment.

  • Use vinegar and cloths instead of products, as it’s kinder to us and the environment.
    S. Balcon
  • Use sterilising liquid to stop teaspoons and coffee cups staining
    R. Vane
  • Put three tablespoons of white vinegar in a few inches of water, then wash the windows. Make them shine with kitchen towel – then put your sunglasses on to look at them.
    D. Williams
  • Put all the oven shelves into a bath of hot water and biological washing powder. Leave these soaking as you clean the rest of the cooker.
    B. Coleman
  • Use furniture polish to remove anything sticky, like label residue.
    T. Hughes
  • My Hero uses a toothbrush and some laundry detergent to work into carpet stains. That seems to be more successful than branded carpet cleaners.

    I guess the secret's in the elbow grease.
    R. Milloy
  • After washing your stainless steel appliances put a dash of baby oil on a cloth and wipe it over them. This makes them super sparkly.
    H. Clark
  • Use plain vinegar to de-scale the shower heads. They come up really shiny.

step three: clean
  • Don’t go to the gym, clean!
    D. Sore
  • Go Miele all the way, the 'clip and seal' vacuum bag makes life easy.

  • Always remember to clean the skirting boards and around the ceiling, as these give away whether you are a clean person, or just someone out for a quick fix.
    A. Cameron

 

  • Be friendly, cheerful and talk to clients. Other than that, just hard work.
    J. Moore
  • Fine wood needs gentle cleaning so as not to destroy the finish.
