So, you’ve finally got the keys to your new home—congrats! Now comes the fun part: realizing just how messy life can get when there’s no landlord to call for help. But fear not! Veteran homeowners have been spilling their best cleaning secrets, and lucky for you, they’ve already made (and learned from) the mistakes you’re about to make.
We’ve rounded up five of the best cleaning tips shared by seasoned homeowners, along with some top-notch tools from Lola Products to make your life easier.
1. Start with a Deep Clean—Before the Boxes Arrive
New house, new start—so why not begin fresh? Before hauling in your furniture and setting up your dream space, take a day to deep clean. Trust us, you don’t want to discover mysterious sticky spots after you’ve set up your couch.
🔹 Pro Tip: A sturdy Deck Scrub Brush is perfect for tackling floors, patios, and even bathroom tiles.
2. Your Dishwasher Cleans More Than Just Dishes
Surprise! That big box of soapy wonders isn’t just for plates. You can toss in range hood filters, sponges, and even some light fixtures for a quick, thorough clean. Just be sure to check if an item is dishwasher-safe first—melted plastic is a real party pooper.
🔹 Try This: Instead of waiting until your sponge smells suspiciously alive, switch it out regularly with the Scrub Boss™.
3. The Secret Power of White Vinegar & Baking Soda
White vinegar and baking soda: the ultimate dynamic duo. This combo can freshen up drains, dissolve soap scum, and even lift stains from carpets. If you don’t have these in your cleaning stash, are you even an adult?
🔹 Bonus Hack: Use the Pot Brite All Purpose Scrub Sponges to scrub stubborn grime after letting the vinegar and baking soda do their magic.
4. Dust First, Vacuum Second (and Use the Right Tools!)
One rookie mistake? Vacuuming before dusting. That just sends more dust into the air, meaning you’ll have to vacuum twice. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
🔹 Better Way: Use Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth to trap dust before you break out the vacuum. They grab dust like a magnet and are reusable—good for the planet and your wallet.
5. Never Underestimate the Power of a Sticky Mop
Pet hair, crumbs, and whatever that mystery fuzzball in the corner is—meet your match! A sticky mop is a game-changer for quick cleanups, especially on hardwood or tile floors.
🔹 Best Tool for the Job: The Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ w/ extender handle. It works like a giant lint roller for your floors—because let’s be honest, sometimes sweeping just isn’t enough.
Owning a home means keeping it clean, and these tried-and-true tips will keep your place looking fresh with minimal stress. With the right tools (hello, Lola Products!), you’ll be a cleaning pro in no time.
Now, go forth and conquer those dust bunnies! 🧼✨
