Lola Clean Freaks

The couch is one of the most comfortable places to relax yourself. However, it can also become stressing especially when you see it messy and filled with stains. Vacuuming it may be easy especially if you are just eliminating dust, collecting fur or other types of debris.

But how about stains? It is not something which can be sucked up easily as it goes deep within leather and fabric.  Knowing how to clean a couch means knowing how to remove stains. You are free to use the cleaner of your choice meaning you can look for cheaper and kinder to the Earth. But you have to know that the tool you use is very important. It must be effective and efficient to ensure that task will be done.

Here we will be giving you some tips as well as some product recommendations which can help you resolve these couch issues:

Fabric upholstery - Couches with this material are considered scratch-resistant but hard to clean; they are easily stained and will absorb odors such as smoke. It can also be susceptible to dust mite and tend to trap pet hair and dust, so it is not good for allergies.

To clean, we recommend wiping it all over with Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ to trap all unnecessary filth and scrubbing it with our Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cleaning Cloth to remove the stains. You can also use our Cellulose Sponge Cleaning Cloth as a second cloth to absorb moisture and remove soap.

Leather upholstery: Unlike its fabric counterpart, you cannot usually wash leather-covered materials. But don’t worry because these are usually resistant to stains. However, they are prone to scratch and may still get soiled from time to time. In these cases, all you can do is spray the cleaner and wipe it with Lola Wowables™. Since leather couches are durable, they will last long. But through time they will fade and that will require higher maintenance to prevent aging.

Synthetic upholstery: Since this type of material can be damaged by too much heat and agitation, it must be treated extra carefully. What you need is a soft cloth such as our Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth to remove stains. This tool is made up of materials that prevents scratches to surfaces so rest assured your furniture will be taken care of.

Understanding how you must treat your couch based on its composition is key to effectively cleaning and maintaining it. You also need the collective help of tools and cleaning agents that will work effectively on different types of stains.

You also must be consistent with cleaning if you really want to make your couch long-lasting. Try to find a schedule that works best for you and test if you could make it a routine.

These Lola cleaning cloths that you used, can be cleaned and re-washed for re-use on other furniture and other parts of the house. Rest assured that they have the same effectiveness and efficiency even after a tough couch cleaning task. 

Using of brooms in cleaning is still common in many households because it remains to be the tool for the masses with its effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and versatility.

Not everyone can afford their own vacuum and the energy cost that entails its use. So, buying a broom is the perfect alternative. However, having just any kind of broom is not practical.  The key to knowing if a broom is high-quality and effective is to understand its type and purposes for you to know if it will really serve its function.

So, in this article, we will be discussing a particular kind of broom, no other than the Corn Broom. These brooms are intended for dry sweeping and are commonly used for sidewalks, garages, basements, and other areas either indoor or outdoor. Its large sweeping head is also composed of natural fiber and corn bristles making it perfect for large places.

If you are finding it difficult to clean hardwood floors and other rough areas, the corn broom is the right one for you.

An all-natural broom that is eco-friendly and comes with a high gloss resin coated steel handle with swivel hang cap, so it gives you good grip, prevents back ache due to poor posture, and it is also very easy to store.

Unlike other brooms with synthetic poly fibers, rest assured that every bristle of this broom is safe for the environment. We also ensure that they are durable and ready for tough cleaning on different hard surfaces. In fact, cleaning this kind of broom is not difficult at all as well because a splash of cool water on its fibers can do the trick. Yes, you are reading that right! This broom can go wet without deteriorating just like other common brooms.

It is also available on large and extra-large head sizes so you can choose depending on the size of the area where you are planning to use this.

Lola’s corn brooms are made with fan-shaped heads to effectively gather dust and dirt but ours stand out because we made its bristles compact through sewing to make them strong and capable of carrying and moving heavy stones and crumbled leaves.

Unlike what’s being depicted on the media regarding corn brooms, ours are not for witches who loves flying around. But it has the same strength when it comes to combatting different kinds of debris.

We don’t know about you, but for us in Lola, dishwashing is not only about being tough on removing residues but it is also considered as an art of having meticulous and gentle sense of touch to prevent scratches and dents on utensils and kitchenware.

Manufacturers made specific roles for the scourer and sponge making them two separate products doing their different roles. But since we are for innovation, we are changing this to can prove that these two can be combined into one effective product.

Common scourers are rough and are meant for tough stains and grease, but they also often cause scratch to the cookware. Thus, making them last less longer. Meanwhile the usual sponge can get easily overwhelmed by oil and other residues that it often become filthy, making it the perfect home for bacteria and germs.

Do not get us wrong. We do not want you to hate these two products. In fact, we simply want you to appreciate them and value them as essentials. But we want you to realize that choosing the right and high-quality brand when using them is much more important.

In line with this, we want to introduce to you, two of our scouring pads. Lola Wonder Scourer™ Non-Scratch Scouring Pad and Microfiber Cloth Cleaning Pad.

Our Wonder Scourer™ is a knitted flat polypropylene wire cloth wrapped foam sponge.  Its foam sponge is created at its core, so it does not tear or fall apart easily after a few uses just like many other inferior similar products in the market.  It is also super absorbent and will not leave even a bit of scratch on most surfaces, so it is safe and perfect for non-stick and coated cookware. No worries on damaging your favorite pots and pans.

Meanwhile, the Microfiber Cleaning Pad is sponge on one side & nylon net on the other side. It makes cleaning super-fast and easy because you do not need to switch from a sponge to a scourer from time to time because you got everything you need combined into one tool!

It may have the texture and feel of the usual scouring pad but this one is non-abrasive, meaning it leaves no damage on most surfaces compared to the typical scourer. This shows that it is effective, yet it has something that usual cleaning pads don’t have, our care and concern for you and your property. Know that we always have you in mind when we create these products because one of our primary goals is to give you convenience while keeping you and your family safe.

Lola is taking pride on the power and efficiency of our products such as these scouring sponges. They are all-around, meaning you can use them in many different cleaning tasks you have in your home, and most of them including these two are powerful enough not to need any chemicals or cleaning agents to clean surfaces. Just a sprinkle of water before and after using will do! But you can still use your favorite dishwashing liquid if you like!

We are sure that people would give everything just to experience once again the things that they used to love doing outside before when there is no COVID-19 yet. What we are not sure of is whether cleaning is one of the things that they missed doing.

After this crisis is over and everything goes back to normal again, people would also go back to their cleaning routine. This means people with backyards and gardens will be out again often to clean.  It should not be that much of a problem though because it is not only exhausting. It is also fun and enjoyable at times.

Cleaning outside gives you, time to rediscover parts of your home’s surroundings that you do not see as much as you do the interior of your house. It is also a way to feel and appreciate nature. Now, in this article, we will be giving you some tips to help you appreciate and enjoy outdoor cleaning more.

Seize it as an opportunity to spend time with your family and friends

Since social distancing regulations have loosen up a bit already for some places, then you may be able to see your family and friends as much as often again. Maybe you can start catching up through small barbeque afternoons or picnics at your backyard. You can then extend your bonding while sweeping off dried fallen leaves, twigs, stones, or trash at the ground using Lola Corn broom.

Use it as a time to re-invent the outside look of your home

While sweeping outside your home, you also have the time to take some time and try to look at your home in a passerby’s perspective. Now ask yourself, does it look pleasant in the eye or is it awful? We know that the opinion of strangers does not matter that much but if you are the ‘friendly’ type of neighbor, then it might give you some bonus points.

Maybe you can re-design your home by putting some new paint. However, before you do that, you should first sweep the outside walls of your house with Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ to remove web or dirt build-up and prevent impurities.

Give your attention to things that you usually ignore before

HEALTH ISSUES – One of the major and most concerning consequence of a dusty home is higher risks of having health problems due to poor indoor air quality.

Based on several studies, dust is said to be a carrier of genes that are resistance to anti-biotics, this makes microbes and germs stronger and harder to kill.

Are you both concerned of your home and your environment? Often conscious whether your common cleaning tools and chemicals are causing harm to the nature? There is a valid reason why you should worry because if you are not using the right cleaning materials, then you are contributing to the growing problem in our surroundings.

Most cleaning rugs and paper towels are harmful to the environment. Paper towels may only have little carbon footprint, but their factories where they are produced and the trucks that transport them are generating pollution. It has also been claimed to kill “virgin” trees and is slowly depleting the world’s resources on each roll being made. Meanwhile makeshift rugs made from materials such as nylon fabric are hard to decompose. Altogether, they collectively contribute to deforestation, global warming, and an ever-increasing waste problem. Also, the overabundance of greenhouse gases trap additional heat. This trapped heat leads to melting ice caps and rising ocean levels, which cause flooding.

The fight for a cleaner environment is long and hard. We still have a long way to go before we can make a significant change. Each effort is too small so we should keep on taking action and ensure that we are giving all that we can in every step we take.

It’s safe to say that with what’s going around nowadays, the work from home (WFH) setting is the most preferable option right now for many employees especially because physical distancing is a must. But this doesn’t mean there will be no interaction between workers, supervisors, and their bosses.

Video conferencing and meeting via online apps such as zoom are a common practice even before the pandemic but surely, there is an unprecedented increase in its use. This means people will still see each other to discuss their work. This would be weird if done wearing pjs or daily ‘at-home’ clothing.

Unlike regular video calls with our love ones and friend, people have to look neat and presentable during meetings to keep it professional. But this discussion won’t focus on people’s physical appearance but more the background and the setting that are visible to other people on the screen.

Looking for a white or plain-colored wall will be an easy-fix. But that may look boring and it can make people less likely to listen or pay attention when someone’s talking. Having even a little of design may add color and lift the mood especially when talking about important and crucial matters. So here we will be talking about tips on how to organize your background for your next zoom call.

Clean the wall and all hanging decorations

If you are the kind of person that lowkey wants to showcase pictures, paintings, and other embellishments on your wall, at least make sure they will be appealing not only to you but to people that will see it. Not for the purpose of distracting them but just to make sure they wouldn’t be disturbed either.

Having a good background with a clean wall and just the right amount of wall designs may help them feel good and become more willing to lend you their ears. It might even brighten their mood, encourage them to help in brainstorming and become more productive.

A sweep of Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ on your wall will do the trick removing stuck dust, hair, and other debris that may become visible in the call. Keeping the wall clean will also help highlight its color and emphasize the shine of the decorations.

Organize and wipe any furniture or ornaments

Meanwhile, if you pick a table or rack full of decorations as your background, make sure they are organized and free of dust and dirt. You might think that people might not notice but who knows, someone might be too attentive to detail and becomes easily distracted.

With Lola Wowables™, we got you covered. This reusable cleaning cloth is perfect for vases, picture frames, and figurine making sure that they are not covered in dust or grime. It also works for mirrors, glass decorations, and other stuff at your work desk.

Avoid turning your back on a door.

You can look all over the need and see clips of video calls where unsuspecting people, kids, and even pets accidentally barge in while the person is having a conversation. It is surely an embarrassing moment for the people in the call.

To avoid this, we advise you not to turn away your back at a door and use it as your background when joining a group call. This will not only prevent unnecessary distractions but it will also protect the privacy of the other people that might not want to be part of the conversation. We also recommend you to keep your screen at eye level and avoid using the bird’s or worm’s eye view when you’re in a call with your workmates.
