Lola Clean Freaks

Let’s say you just moved into your new house and it’s your first time to leave together as a couple. It would be a huge responsibility because now you are on your own and you have to take care of everything. Don’t worry about unpacking because it is just the start of it all, what you both must think about are the following days, weeks, and months.

Chances are, you still need to develop a cleaning routine together to keep your new home neat, comfy, and presentable. Before you finally adapt and be able to create a regular cleaning pattern and schedule, check out these tips where you can begin:

Start from Top to Bottom

Cleaning randomly and without any organization is a bad idea. It is inefficient and will only exhaust you and make you more reluctant of cleaning your home by yourself next time. The wise thing to do is to start cleaning the highest parts of the room such as the ceiling and the floors. This makes leftover dust fall on the floor. Doing otherwise will only waste your time and effort because when you start from the bottom, it will only get dirty again later on.

What tool can help you reach out dirt, dust, and debris in these high places? Try Lola Rola Sticky Mop™! A new and extraordinary tool with an extendable handle and some sticky cleaning sheets to collect anything that you want to put in the trash. Imagine how fast you and your partner can clean your entire house with a very efficient tool.

If you still have some leftover dust on the floor, then deal with it with our Angle Broom which is designed to reach even the narrowest corners. Keeping up with the tips above will make this a very light task which you can do weekly or depend on if you have some extra time.

Clean One Room at a Time

Do not think that the two of you can clean an entire house (average size) in a day–-At least not thoroughly. Just the thought of it is already tiring enough. So better not pressure yourself.

You are free to schedule when you will deal with your living room, bedroom, and other rooms. This is an efficient strategy to be organized and to avoid being overwhelmed. 

You can start by wiping and dusting furniture along with everything that you put in them. Wowables™ is a multi-purpose cleaning cloth made durable and suitable for different surfaces such as wood, tile, or stainless steel. Meanwhile, you can count on our 360° Duster Extender Set to remove dirt and cobweb on your cabinets and drawers.

Be extra Thorough with your Fridge and Dining Area

You can end the day without touching all other rooms but leaving your dining area and fridge unclean is such a hassle. Soon enough your stomachs will be crumbling and you’ll be rummaging around trying to prepare food. The sight of a mess is unappetizing.

So don’t forget to put your fridge and dining area on your priority list. Make sure you wipe every surface of your dining table and your fridge interior with separate sheets of Cellulose Sponge Cloths. This is treated with anti-microbial agents which hate germs and are designed to diffuse as well as absorb not only moisture but also cleaning solution.

It should be enough after you finish cleaning these two areas, you can unpack your entire kitchen later on.

After all, these and you still have some energy, perhaps you can check your bathroom and sink too. They are essentials too because one way or another, you will have to use them within the day.

Cleaning before completely moving out is not just to show decency and respect for the next people who will be moving in, it is also a way to ensure that you will be getting your rental deposit back in full.

So don’t forget to check if there’s any room still in need of cleaning. Hiring a cleaning service is not necessary to get the job done. All you need are some effective tools and good music and you’re ready to clean your condo or apartment. 

Don’t worry because we are here to assist. This complete apartment move-out cleaning checklist has everything you need to deep-clean your space before moving to a new place. Let’s get cleaning first!

You can use Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ to easily and quickly pick up dust and cobwebs. You’ll have no trouble because this cleaning tool has a long extendable arm and its mop head is armed with easy-to-tear sheets which effectively collect debris.

Remove Dust from Blinds

No need to use wet rugs which will only contaminate blinds even further with germs. Our 360° Duster Extender Set tool is designed to perform much better than traditional feather dusters. It has a microfiber head to reach deep through the window blinds collecting even the smallest loose particles. It also has an extendable handle in case your windows are wide and large and you need to reach out a bit.

Wipe Clean Windows

A window or glass solution is good when cleaning your windows. But without good cloth that you can use when wiping, the tendency is there will be dirt left behind or your windows will be filled with lint or streaks. You can avoid all these with Wowables™ Cleaning Towel. This paper towel alternative is made durable and gentle so it won’t cause even a slight scratch. With this cloth, thoroughly dusting off handles, locks, and between the sliding tracks of your windows will be a piece of cake.

Inspect Lights

Lighting is one essential aspect of any house. Even after your turn of using them, you should still find time to check all lightbulbs and immediately replace any bulbs that have gone out. You must also sanitize light switches. You can easily do so with the help of our Anti-microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloth. This cleaning cloth is treated with agents that prevent the growth of bacteria, making it perfect for common areas such as light switches. You can also use it to clean fixtures as well as the actual lightbulbs.

Clean Walls and Baseboards

Now you can move on with relief knowing there will be no complaints because you did extra to ensure that the place you leave behind can be the perfect ‘home’ for the next tenants.

You don’t always have to renovate to make your home look fresh and new. If you want to make a quick makeover to your place, don’t buy a new set of furniture just yet. Focus on things that you can easily move or replace. That’s where you can start.

Here are some tips that you can do to make your home look brand new:

Replace Curtains with New OnesPutting up curtains in your windows is like putting up makeup on your face. It adds emphasis to your windows and changes the ambiance of your room.

One way to create a fresh look for your house is by replacing your curtains with new colors or designs. Something light is advisable so the natural light will freely go in. If you’re not much of a curtain fan, you can go bare and use other decorations instead.

Keep in mind that the goal is not only to design your windows but also to keep them clean. In doing so, we advise you to invest in Wowables™ Cleaning Towels which you can use effectively to wipe off dirt and dust.

Move your bed into a Different Angle

Your bed is one piece of furniture that you can quickly move around. Except if you had it fixed and locked in position. By putting it on a different side or wall, you create an all-new layout without doing so much.

That will allow you to re-work your room and clean up corners that you weren’t able to clean up before. Angled Broom is perfect to quickly remove dust and other loose particles.

A clean mattress and bedding will add an even fresher look and can make you feel more comfortable too. All of these are possible without doing anything major inside your room.

Bring in New Sofa Pillows

Investing in decorative sofa pillows is cost-friendly and effective in giving a fresher look to your home. There are lots of available colors, patterns, and textures that you can choose from. You can even purchase customized ones that are perfectly matched to your preference.

If you are into a minimalist clean look, you can try neutral-toned pillows. While if you are looking to feel something new, you can consider your plain fabric pillows and exchange them with pillows made of fur or velvet.

What you don’t want is your couch and pillow getting dusty. To prevent this, having our Jumbo Microfiber Cloth by your side is the key.

Install Floating Shelves

An ordinary wall can be transformed into a powerful one with a set of floating shelves. But more than design, you’ll benefit more from its space-saving function because there will be less furniture in your floor space. With these, you can store almost all sorts of things including books, dishes, or your toy collections.

With floating shelves, dust and dirt buildup will be reduced because they can be usually found under pieces of furniture. Now with less furniture on the floor, means your home will look wider and there’s less need to sweep.

Paint walls

With painting, you are free to choose whether you like to change the entire interior look of your home or just some parts of it.

Before making up your mind with the color or shade that you want to use, what you must do first is clean it. We are confident that no other tool can perform the duty of cleaning walls with the same level as Lola Rola Sticky Mop™. With its extendable handle and easy-to-tear mop head, there will be no more bumps and irregularities that will you achieve a fresh attractive look for your walls.

Keeping your place clean and comfortable is always a challenge regardless if it’s your first time living alone or not. There’s no denying either that cleaning is tough many people do not like it. But there’s no escaping it especially if you are home alone. Unless you are willing to spend on cleaning services all your life.

Otherwise, you’ll find these tips useful in dealing with different areas at your home when you are alone:

Maintain Intensive Kitchen Cleaning and Minimized Food Preparation 

Since you’ll be dining alone, it is already given that you’ll only be using a few pieces of utensils and plates. Preparing what you’ll be eating is a different story though. While cooking, you can use lots of cookware pieces. But if you want to be wise, it’s best if you minimize what you’ll be using so you won’t be surprised by the number of dishes you’ll be washing after. To help you further, using Pot Brite™ Scouring Sponge to effectively clean your dishes from grease.

The kitchen is a very critical part of your home because it is where food is prepared. That’s why you must keep it clean at all times. Aside from cleaning dishes, It is also essential to wipe your stove, countertops, kitchen sink, and furniture surfaces. All of these will require specialized cleaning materials such as Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloths. This one is treated with germ-killing properties and designed not to leave scratches, dents, or streaks on surfaces.

Be Thorough when it comes to Your Bathroom

You have a wide range of surfaces that you have to clean around your bathroom. There are lots of things that can also create stains when they build up. These include body spray, soap scum, oil, and body dirt. Over time, you have to clean them thoroughly with a bleaching agent and an effective tool.

For one, we recommend using Cellulose Sponge & Scourer. It’s great not only for wiping clean dirt and stains but also for absorbing moisture.

We also have the Handled Scrubber to conveniently clean tough dirt on crevices and tile gaps. Deck Scrub Brush on the other hand is perfect for a total makeover of your bathroom floor. Just a few sweeps and soap scum build-ups will surely be gone and down on the drain.

Don’t worry if you have a glass bathroom because Wowables™ Cleaning Cloth won’t leave any scratch or streak so you can use it to clean or dry glass or mirrors.

Of course, we cannot forget the toilet and all the notorious stains that may accumulate on it. This is one area of the house that requires treatment with strong cleaning agents to be kept clean and germ-free. Just don’t forget to wear your protective gear before cleaning so you’ll stay safe!

Create a Brief but Regular Living Room Routine

Even if you are only expecting a few guests between long periods, it’s no excuse to neglect your living room because it remains the face of your home. It must be presentable because it will be the first sight of every visitor. We’re sure you don’t want to be embarrassed during surprise visits from your friends or family.

Aside from vacuuming, you can also use Lola’s Sticky Mop to remove dirt and other debris on your walls. It is convenient to use because it has an easy-to-tear sheet that collects the dirt.

Couches can harbor a build-up of dust or pet fur (if you have an animal with you) which will lead to foul odors, to get prevent it, regularly removing dust with our 360° Duster Extender Set is the key. Using mild detergent can also help do the trick.

Moving furniture from time to time is necessary for you to reach areas that are not usually easy to access. Angled Broom will then take charge in taking loose dirt out. Do not forget to clean the windows and door handles as well.

One common problem to many homeowners is space. Not only it limits mobility but it also hinders the capability to design and decorate while affecting the number of furniture and visitors.

It doesn’t have to be much of a worry though, because they are some ways on home to maximize your limited home space and still make the best out of it.

A Clutter of Appliances

Don’t you think your huge flat-screen TV and sound system are taking too much space? If you think there’s nothing you can do, then let us tell you that not all hope is gone.

Setting up an entertainment center can be so space-consuming if you will put everything on your floor. Instead, you can utilize your walls and mount your TV or other appliances. This will save space while offering a classic, clutter-free look.

Remember that a buildup of dust and dirt can take up space too. So sweeping regularly with Lola Angled Broom can help you not only maintain your home’s cleanliness but also free up space that you can use on decorations and other pieces of furniture.

Bulky Storage Pieces

Instead of always having big cabinets, why not go with floating shelves or built-in bookcases to allow yourself to organize without taking up too much floor space. Multifunctional furniture pieces that can serve as both an organization solution and a seat or table are also useful. These are great too if you want to increase storage without compromising on style.

Installing sliding or pocket doors and windows is also considered space-wise instead of using traditional doors which require a certain amount of space for swinging open. The only problem with this modern furniture is that they are more prone to dust and stains which you can easily remove with Wowables™ Cleaning Towel and 360° Extender Duster Set.

Heading towards the kitchen, Magnetic Strips may be handy to save counter space. Using it you can just hang your knives, chopping boards, and other stainless steel utensils. You can also use these to hang your most-used spice jars and potholders.

Additional floating shelves can be installed for storing pots, pans, and other light appliances. Racks with hooks or pegboards on the other hand can be used to hang your coffee mugs.

Crowded Walls

Knit-picking pictures or painting frames on your walls is necessary to find out whether you can bring down some to make your house’s surfaces look less crowded. You can also determine that whether you can use these spaces for a more important purpose.

What you must not forget while doing this task is cleaning your walls with Lola Rola Sticky Mop™. It is an effective tool that will take care of dust and webs.

‘Out of Order’ Closets

Since smaller rooms can only cater to smaller closets, staying organized is a must. As the owner, what you should do is regularly revisit your wardrobe every season and rotate your clothes, making sure there are no unnecessary clutters. Learning new folding techniques which save space is also helpful. But the ultimate tip you must apply is to throw or give away clothing that doesn’t fit you anymore.

Whether you are working or studying right now, we are sure that you already came to the point of being so busy before that you don’t have time anymore to do other things that must be done like cleaning for example.

That’s why when your schedule becomes so hectic, the only option that’s left is to seek help from someone else. This gives relief. However, it often comes with a price.

But what if we tell you that cleaning is possible even just in a minute? There are tasks that you can do so quickly that you’ll be finished before you know it. All you need are cleaning tools that are made for efficient and quick cleaning.

In 2019, up to 350,000 home fires were recorded causing 2,770 civilian deaths and $7.8 billion in direct property damage.

A warming weather is one of the signs of an increasing chance of fire incidents. But aside from that, there are also countless factors that may spark a house fire and many of these are with us inside the home.

Cleaning plays a very important role in preventing fires. Understanding the things to do to lessen the risks will help you save lives; not only your own but also of your family and neighbors. Here are some of our recommended tips:

PROPERLY STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

There are many things at home that can cause damage if they come into contact with an open flame but not all property owners are aware of these things.

Common items such as Rubbing Alcohol and Hand Sanitizer are some of the common flammable materials. Aerosol cans are also on the list. So keeping them away from any heat-related appliances, such as air vents and furnaces is very important.

Gasoline, turpentine, and paint thinner are among the top causes of house fires. It is common knowledge that these substances can easily burst into flames yet thousands of house fires still lead to be caused by them. We should have learned by now that improper storage such as in garages or sheds where they are covered with metal lid is a NO-NO.  Instead, these liquids should be stored in a UL-approved container and placed away from all heat-related appliances, such as a stove or a hot water heater.

Even common cosmetic items like hairspray and shaving cream can combust when placed near large heat sources.

Putting these items into safe drawers away from heat sources and out of children’s reach is the best thing to do.

Also, before using any container, we advise wiping them first with Lola Wowables™ Paper Towels to remove dust, dirt, or other moisture that can trigger a spark which will eventually lead to a bigger fire.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, CORDS, AND WIRES

When plugging electric appliances, it should be a habit to check whether the cords have been frayed or chewed. If you do notice damaged wires, replace them as soon as possible because this is a huge fire hazard.

You can use Jumbo Microfiber Cloth as a wiping tool in your regular switch and wire check-ups. Make sure there are no leaks, paint stains, or other flammable substances nearby.

You should ensure that no rug or furniture are near cord placements because they easily warm up when run into which can lead to igniting a fire. Remove dust and dirt using Lola 360° Extender Duster Comparable Starter Kit is also necessary because these particles can be combustible when they build up.

INSPECT ALL YOUR HEATING SOURCES

Heating sources should be checked out annually by a professional because if they aren’t working properly, there is a big chance that they can cause a fire.

You can find Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ handy when removing anything unnecessary not only in your air filters, space heater and air vents. Take note that a fire can easily start from debris and dust being too close to a heat source so make sure you remove them regularly.
