Soot Happens: Here’s How Often You Should Clean Your Chimney (And Why You Shouldn’t Wait!)

Soot Happens: Here’s How Often You Should Clean Your Chimney (And Why You Shouldn’t Wait!)

There’s nothing cozier than a crackling fire in the winter, but if your chimney hasn’t seen a good cleaning in a while, you might be inviting more than warmth into your home—think smoke, soot, and even the dreaded chimney fire! Keeping your chimney clean isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a safety necessity. So, how often should you clean it? Let’s break it down before your fireplace turns into a soot-covered hazard.

How Often Is “Often Enough”?

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), you should have your chimney inspected at least once a year and cleaned as needed. But let’s get real—your fireplace habits determine how often you should be scrubbing out that soot.

  • Frequent Burners (3+ times a week in winter): Every 3-6 months
  • Occasional Burners (once a week or less): Once a year
  • Rare Burners (just for the holidays): Every 2 years, but an annual check-up is still smart
  • Wood vs. Gas vs. Pellets: Wood-burning fireplaces produce the most creosote (the sticky, flammable byproduct of burning wood), while gas fireplaces produce less but still need occasional maintenance.

Signs It’s Time for a Chimney Cleaning

If you’re not sure when you last cleaned your chimney, watch for these telltale signs:

Smoke Fills the Room: A clogged chimney can’t vent properly, sending smoke back inside.

A Campfire Smell Lingers: If your house smells like a summer bonfire long after the fire’s out, you’ve got a creosote buildup.

Black, Oily Stains Inside the Fireplace: That’s creosote, and it’s highly flammable.

Animals Have Moved In: Birds and squirrels love using chimneys as rent-free apartments. A nest can block airflow and even catch fire.

Weak or Flickering Flames: Poor airflow from a dirty chimney affects fire efficiency.

DIY vs. Professional Cleaning: What’s the Best Option?

If you’re the type to wield a broom like a knight with a sword, you can tackle some chimney maintenance yourself using top-quality cleaning tools from Lola Products. A long-handled brush, dust sweepers, and a little elbow grease can help remove soot from the lower part of the chimney.

However, for a full, deep clean (especially if you haven’t done it in years), a professional chimney sweep is your best bet. They have the tools to safely clear blockages, remove dangerous creosote buildup, and ensure your fireplace is safe to use.

Keeping Your Chimney Clean Between Sweeps

Want to extend the time between professional cleanings? Try these easy maintenance tips:

Burn seasoned hardwoods (oak, maple) instead of softwoods (pine) to reduce creosote buildup.

Use a chimney cap to keep out rain, debris, and animals.

Sweep out ash regularly to keep your fireplace fresh.

Schedule annual inspections so minor issues don’t turn into expensive repairs.

Neglecting your chimney can turn a cozy night into a smoky disaster—or worse, a house fire. A little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your home safe, warm, and soot-free. So grab your brushes, check out Lola Products for top-tier cleaning supplies, and give your chimney the love it deserves!

Toilet Brush TLC: How to Keep It Clean and When It’s Time to Bid It Farewell

Toilet Brush TLC: How to Keep It Clean and When It’s Time to Bid It Farewell

Ah, the humble toilet brush: the unsung hero of bathroom cleanliness. It bravely takes on the tough job of scrubbing away the ickiest messes, but let’s be honest—how often do we give it the love and care it truly deserves? A clean toilet brush is essential for a sparkling bathroom, but keeping it clean and knowing when to replace it can be a little tricky. Fear not, because we’ve got you covered with some foolproof tips on maintaining your brush’s cleanliness and knowing when it’s time to say goodbye.

Step 1: Clean the Brush (Yes, Really)

After every cleaning session, your toilet brush is bound to collect germs, grime, and all sorts of unpleasantness. The key to keeping it in tip-top shape is to clean it regularly, even though it might be tempting to just shove it back into its holder and forget about it. Here’s a simple process to keep your brush as fresh as a daisy:

  1. Rinse It Off – After every use, rinse the bristles under hot water to remove as much gunk as possible.
  2. Disinfect – A toilet brush without proper sanitation is a breeding ground for bacteria. Soak your brush in a bucket filled with a disinfectant solution (bleach works wonders), or, for a more eco-friendly option, try vinegar and baking soda.
  3. Dry It Properly – Once it’s disinfected, give your brush a good shake to get rid of excess water. You can even let it air-dry outside for a few minutes to ensure it’s fully dry. Moisture buildup can lead to mold, and no one wants that in their bathroom.

For more thorough cleaning, you can opt for a new, more hygienic brush that resists bacterial buildup. Consider the 500 Brushes, Toilet Bowl Brush w/ Cleaner Dispensing Brush Head. NO LIQUID CLEANER NEEDED – w/ 500 Brushes your toilet is cleaned as you brush w/ built-in blue cleanser tablet. No more searching around for expensive liquid cleaner or just moving dirty water around. Each cleanser tablet, activated by water, contains BLEACH, keeping your toilet bowl clean, sanitary and odor free, while removing rust & calcium deposits with ease!

Step 2: Keep Your Holder Clean

It’s not just the brush that needs attention—its holder does too! That little space can harbor germs and unpleasant smells if left unchecked. Every so often, give the holder a good scrubbing with disinfectant, and make sure it has proper drainage to avoid stagnant water at the bottom. A little regular maintenance goes a long way in making sure your entire toilet brush setup remains hygienic.

Step 3: The Replacement Question

No matter how much you clean, a toilet brush will eventually reach the end of its life. The bristles will wear down, become misshapen, and potentially stop working effectively. But how do you know when it’s time to retire your trusty brush? A few telltale signs include:

  • Bent or Damaged Bristles – If the bristles are frayed or bent beyond repair, it’s time to toss it out.
  • Persistent Smells – If your brush always smells funky despite cleaning it, that’s a red flag.
  • Rusting Handle – Rust is the kiss of death for a toilet brush. If your brush has a metal handle and it’s starting to rust, it’s time for a replacement.

When you’re ready for a new one, 500 Brushes is a great option to consider. With its sturdy poly-fiber bristles, it’s built to last and make your toilet sparkle with ease.

Step 4: Proper Storage

Lastly, make sure to store your toilet brush properly. A good holder will allow the brush to dry properly and prevent moisture buildup. Avoid storing it in closed containers where it can’t breathe, as this can lead to unpleasant odors and bacteria growth.

In conclusion, keeping your toilet brush clean isn’t rocket science, but it does require a little attention. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and knowing when to replace it will keep your bathroom fresh and functional. If your brush is ready to retire, be sure to check out the 500 Brushes for an upgrade that will have your toilet—and your brush—looking brand new!

So go ahead, give your toilet brush the TLC it deserves. It’s doing a dirty job, after all!

Shiny, Sparkling Glass Shower Doors: The Natural Way to Clean ‘Em Up!

Shiny, Sparkling Glass Shower Doors: The Natural Way to Clean ‘Em Up!

If your shower doors are looking a little lackluster and full of water spots, it’s time to add some sparkle to your life (and your bathroom) with a natural, DIY cleaning solution! No harsh chemicals needed—just a couple of easy-to-find ingredients and a little elbow grease, and your shower doors will shine like new. Here’s how to clean glass shower doors the natural way, so they gleam and impress!

The Dirt on Shower Doors

Let’s face it: glass shower doors are magnets for soap scum, hard water spots, and all the grime that comes with everyday use. And while wiping them down after every shower would be the ultimate dream, we’re all human, and sometimes that just doesn’t happen. But don’t worry! A good deep clean every now and then is the key to restoring your shower door’s shine.

Let’s get started with two natural cleaning methods that will have your shower doors looking like they belong in a five-star hotel.

1. Vinegar and Baking Soda: The Dynamic Duo

First up, let’s talk about vinegar. It’s a natural powerhouse that can tackle soap scum, water stains, and grime without all the toxic fumes of commercial cleaners. The best part? It’s affordable and eco-friendly.

What you’ll need:

Directions:

  1. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray the solution generously onto your glass shower doors. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the vinegar to break down the soap scum and water stains.
  3. Sprinkle baking soda onto a damp sponge and gently scrub the surface of your doors. The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive that will help scrub away any stubborn spots.
  4. Once you’ve scrubbed the entire door, rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth.

You’ll be amazed at how quickly your glass doors transform from grimy to glistening.

2. The Power of Lemon and Olive Oil

Next, we have another natural duo that’s perfect for shining up your shower doors: lemon and olive oil! Lemon is acidic, making it great at cutting through grime, while olive oil provides a shiny finish, leaving your glass looking streak-free and polished.

What you’ll need:

Directions:

  1. Mix the lemon juice and olive oil together in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray the mixture generously on your glass doors.
  3. Using a microfiber cloth, buff the surface in circular motions. The lemon juice will help clean, while the olive oil will leave a glossy finish.
  4. Wipe away any excess oil to avoid a slippery surface.

This combo not only cleans but also helps prevent new water spots from forming, leaving your glass doors looking fresh and streak-free.

Keep It Sparkling: Prevent Future Build-Up

To keep your glass shower doors sparkling for longer, consider investing in some natural cleaning products that will make your cleaning routine even easier. For example, the Glass & Jar Brush is a great tool for getting into hard-to-reach corners and keeping your glass spotless between deep cleans. It’s safe for all surfaces and doesn’t scratch, making it ideal for glass doors.

Another great product to add to your cleaning arsenal is the Lola Product Flexible Dust Mop, perfect for sweeping up water spots and preventing build-up. Its fine fibers attract dust and dirt like a magnet, keeping your glass cleaner for longer with minimal effort.

With just two simple natural cleaners—vinegar and baking soda, or lemon and olive oil—you can make your glass shower doors sparkle without the harsh chemicals. Add in the right cleaning tools, and your shower will look brand new in no time! So, say goodbye to water spots and soap scum and hello to gleaming glass doors that shine like a diamond.

Grandma’s Cleaning Hacks That Are Better Left in the Past (Expert-Approved!)

Grandma’s Cleaning Hacks That Are Better Left in the Past (Expert-Approved!)

Ah, grandma—the keeper of all things old-school. From homemade remedies to quirky cleaning tips, grandma always had a way of keeping the house sparkling… or so we thought. While some of her time-tested tricks are worth keeping, others might need to be retired, pronto. We tapped into expert cleaning advice to highlight some common household tips that are actually more harmful than helpful. So, let’s dive into the top cleaning methods you should stop doing, ASAP!

1. Vinegar for Everything? Not So Fast!

Grandma swore by vinegar for everything, from cleaning windows to removing stains. While vinegar is a powerhouse in the right applications, experts suggest it’s not the universal miracle worker we thought. For instance, using vinegar on natural stone surfaces like granite or marble can cause damage over time. Instead, reach for specialized cleaners that won’t harm your countertops—like Lola’s Eco Clean Bamboo Scrub Brush for a gentle yet effective clean.

2. Baking Soda + Vinegar = Not a Dream Team

Another classic combo from grandma: Baking soda and vinegar. While it fizzes up fun reactions in the sink, this duo isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, they can neutralize odors and clean some surfaces, but combining them creates water and carbon dioxide—basically neutralizing their cleaning powers! If you're looking for a strong stain-fighting cleaner, we recommend trying Pot Brite Scour N' Sponge—designed for tough grime and baked-on messes without the weird chemical reaction!

3. Old Towel Towels as Mops? A Recipe for a Bigger Mess!

Grandma loved using old towels as makeshift mops, but experts agree this can actually spread germs more than clean. Old, worn-out towels are a breeding ground for bacteria, and when you mop the floor with them, you could be leaving behind dirt and grime. It’s time to swap out your old towels for a cleaner option! Try the Lola Pro Amazin Sponge & Scrubber Roller Mop, which not only absorbs more moisture but is also reusable and super effective at cleaning all floor types.

4. Ammonia for Glass Cleaning? Let’s Just Say ‘No!’

Ah, ammonia. Grandma might have sworn by it for streak-free windows, but this potent chemical is far from safe, especially in small, unventilated spaces. Inhaling ammonia fumes can be harmful, and it can damage some surfaces. Instead, opt for a safer, more eco-friendly option like Lola Glass & Jar Sponge Brush, which is non-scratch and safe for delicate surfaces, leaving your windows sparkling and streak-free without any harsh chemicals.

5. Using Bleach for All Disinfecting? Overkill!

While bleach certainly has its place in deep cleaning, it’s not necessary for every surface. Using bleach too often can damage fabrics, discolor surfaces, and harm your respiratory system. Experts suggest using it sparingly and opting for gentler cleaning solutions when possible. If you need a heavy-duty clean that’s still gentle, check out the Flexible Dust Mop w/ 4 Piece Handle, which is designed for maximum dirt attraction without harsh chemicals.

6. Dousing Your Carpets with Baby Powder? Say Goodbye to That!

Grandma’s method of freshening up carpets by sprinkling baby powder might sound nostalgic, but it’s time to let that one go. Not only does it leave a mess of powder residue, but it doesn’t do much in terms of cleaning. Instead, use a Iron Handled Scrubber to scrub out deep dirt and stains in your carpet fibers.

It’s clear that grandma’s heart was in the right place, but when it comes to cleaning, some methods are in desperate need of an upgrade. By embracing modern solutions, like the clever products from Lola, we can get the best of both worlds: effective cleaning with a healthy dose of wisdom. So, bid farewell to these outdated tricks, and say hello to a cleaner, safer home!

China, Don’t Break My Heart: The Art of Cleaning Delicate Dinnerware

China, Don’t Break My Heart: The Art of Cleaning Delicate Dinnerware

We’ve all been there—hosting a lovely dinner, and after a meal filled with laughter and clinking glasses, it’s time for the dishes. But oh, the delicate china! Those beautiful heirlooms or special sets you break out for holidays, fancy dinners, or (let’s be real) just to make your kitchen feel extra elegant. You know you want them to sparkle without scratching, cracking, or damaging that beautiful glaze.

Fear not! Cleaning delicate china doesn’t have to be a delicate dance of terror. In fact, it can be a breeze when you have the right tools and know-how. So let’s dive into how to clean your china like a pro—without leaving your heart (or your plates) in pieces.

Step 1: Gently Rinse Off the Grime

First things first: don’t throw your china in the dishwasher! That’s a one-way ticket to chipped, scratched, or faded pieces. Instead, gently rinse your china with warm water to remove any leftover food. A gentle rinse will save you from scrubbing, which can be harsh on delicate surfaces.

For the best results, opt for a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge, like a Natural Cellulose Scrub Sponges. It’s absorbent and made of natural cellulose, so it’ll pick up moisture without leaving behind any unwanted scratch marks. It’s the perfect tool to delicately wipe down your plates without causing any damage.

Step 2: Soak, But Not Too Long

For those tough, stuck-on food bits, you can soak your china in lukewarm water. Add a gentle dish soap (nothing too harsh or acidic) and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help loosen any residue. But be careful not to soak your china for too long. Prolonged exposure to water, especially with older or gilded china, can cause the paint or gold trim to fade.

If your china is particularly delicate or vintage, consider using a Soap Dispensing Dish Wand to apply a controlled amount of dish soap while cleaning, so you don't risk any over-wetting or harsh scrubbing.

Step 3: Scrub With Love

Once the grime is loosened, you’ll want to give it a gentle scrub. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scrubbers, which can cause scratches or even chips. A soft microfiber cloth or a gentle sponge, like the Eco Clean Bamboo Dish Brush, will work wonders. The bamboo bristles are soft, but they still pack enough power to clean up food without damaging the surface.

Step 4: Rinse & Dry – The Right Way

After your china is clean, rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Make sure there’s no soapy residue left behind. For drying, don’t just leave your china to air dry—it can cause water spots. Instead, use a soft, lint-free towel to gently dry each piece. The Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth is perfect for this, as it absorbs water quickly and doesn’t leave behind any fibers.

Step 5: The Final Polish

If your china has a special finish or is extra glossy, give it one last polishing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. This will ensure it’s gleaming and ready for your next dinner party or celebration.

Pro Tip: Keep It Clean, Keep It Safe

When storing your delicate china, always use padded dividers or tissue paper to prevent scratching. Never stack china too high or too tightly—space is your friend when it comes to delicate dinnerware!

In conclusion, cleaning delicate china isn’t rocket science, but it does require a little TLC and the right tools. With the right products and care, you can keep your china sparkling for years to come. So, channel your inner china-cleaning guru, and don’t be afraid to show those plates some love. They’ll thank you for it!

Scrub-a-Dub... What? The Surprising Spot in Your Bathroom That Never Gets Cleaned!

Scrub-a-Dub... What? The Surprising Spot in Your Bathroom That Never Gets Cleaned!

Let’s face it: bathrooms are our personal sanctuaries where cleanliness is paramount. We scrub the toilet, shine the mirrors, and polish the sink to a sparkle. But no matter how meticulously you clean, there's one spot that often gets overlooked. Ready for it? It’s the humble bathroom exhaust fan!

The Overlooked Airflow Hero

That unassuming fan perched on your ceiling plays a crucial role in maintaining your bathroom’s hygiene by ventilating steam and reducing moisture. But when was the last time you cleaned it? Exactly! Neglecting this essential fixture can lead to a buildup of dust, mold, and bacteria, which can circulate back into your bathroom air, compromising the very cleanliness you strive for.

Why It Matters

A dirty exhaust fan not only hampers its functionality but also contributes to poor air quality. Over time, it becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew, potentially triggering allergies and respiratory issues. Moreover, a clogged fan reduces efficiency, causing increased energy consumption and, in some cases, even damage to the motor.

How to Clean Your Bathroom Exhaust Fan

Step 1: Turn Off the Power

Safety first! Switch off the power supply to the fan to avoid any mishaps. You don't want to turn your cleaning session into a shocking experience.

Step 2: Remove the Cover

Gently pull down the fan cover and detach it from the ceiling. You’ll likely be greeted by a layer of dust that’s been accumulating since the fan’s installation. If the cover is stubborn, a quick brush with Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloths can help dislodge it.

Step 3: Clean the Cover

Wash the fan cover with warm soapy water. Use a Lola Pro Amazin Sponge & Scrubber Roller Mop, w/ Ergonomic Comfort Rubber Grip to easily clean the cover, ensuring you reach all the nooks and crannies.

Step 4: Dust the Fan Blades

Using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle attachment, carefully remove dust from the fan blades and motor. For a thorough clean, grab Lola Eco Clean Bamboo Scrub Brush, which is gentle yet effective.

Step 5: Reassemble and Test

Once everything is clean and dry, reassemble the fan, switch the power back on, and enjoy the rejuvenated airflow in your bathroom.

Regular Maintenance Tips

Next time you’re in full bathroom-cleaning mode, don’t forget about your exhaust fan. A few minutes of attention can make a world of difference in air quality and energy efficiency. Plus, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing your bathroom is truly spotless. After all, why leave any corner untouched when you've got Lola Products to make the job easier?

Happy cleaning!

Mattress Mayhem: 8 Reasons Why Flipping Isn’t the Solution (And What You Should Do Instead!)

Mattress Mayhem: 8 Reasons Why Flipping Isn’t the Solution (And What You Should Do Instead!)

Your mattress might be the sanctuary of sweet dreams, but let’s talk about a common myth: flipping your mattress. While the idea of flipping sounds like a quick fix for comfort or wear, it’s time to put this old-school advice to bed. Before you risk a wrestling match with a king-sized mattress, here are eight reasons why flipping isn’t the answer—and how Lola can help you care for your mattress the smart way.

1. Modern Mattresses Aren’t Made for Flipping

Unlike the mattresses of yesteryear, most modern mattresses are built with distinct layers. The supportive base isn’t meant for sleeping, and flipping your mattress could lead to discomfort and decreased durability. Instead, invest in Flexible Dust Mop to clean under your bed and keep your sleeping area fresh without flipping chaos.

2. Risk of Damage

Flipping a mattress designed for single-sided use can damage its structure. Those supportive foam layers or intricate coil systems aren’t made for double duty! Focus on cleaning your mattress instead with the Rubaway Eraser Pad. It’s perfect for tackling stains and maintaining your mattress without breaking a sweat.

3. Dust and Allergens Are the Real Culprits

If your mattress feels less-than-fresh, it’s likely dust and allergens—not your sleeping position—that are the problem. Skip the flip and grab Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloths. These cloths attract and lock in dust, ensuring a cleaner, healthier sleeping environment.

4. Flipping Doesn’t Fix Indentations

Notice dips or indentations? Flipping won’t magically smooth those out. Instead, focus on prevention by vacuuming your mattress regularly and using an Angle Broom to keep surrounding areas dirt-free. This minimizes wear and keeps your mattress fresh for longer.

5. Flipping Is Backbreaking

Let’s be honest: flipping a heavy mattress is a workout nobody asked for. Why risk a sore back when you can focus your energy on cleaning instead? Use the 360 Extender Duster Comparable Starter Kit for an effective, ergonomic solution to dusting the bed frame and surrounding areas.

6. Rotating Is Better Than Flipping

For mattresses that allow it, rotation—turning the mattress 180 degrees—is better than flipping. This ensures even wear without compromising the design. While you’re rotating, use damp Anti-Microbial Clean n' Wipe Cloths to wipe bedposts or frame corners where grime can hide.

7. Cleaning Extends Mattress Life

A clean mattress is a long-lasting mattress! Spot-clean with the Soap Dispenser Dish Wand for targeted stain removal, and finish with a clean and dry Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloths.
