Lola Clean Freaks

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.

Cleaning can be a refreshing and relaxing as well. Here are some tips to help make your usual cleaning routine a less stressful time of your day:

Declutter – Sometimes, what your mind and body need is for you to eliminate the toxicity. This is the same case when you want your home to feel and look like a better place. To throw away things that have no value or not use is necessary. Freeing space will open opportunities for you to put better decorations that will make your house more welcoming.

Put in some fragrance – A pleasant odor is a good combination with clean surrounding. It relaxes the mind and boosts the happy hormones giving you and the other people living in the house a good and positive mood. This is very helpful especially after a very tiresome work shift or after attending several hours of mind-draining classes at school.

After infusing fragrant oils at home, you can also give your home’s surfaces a good wipe. Treat it as if you are giving your home a spa therapy session. You can count on our Wowables™ to remove stains, dirt, and germs. It is reusable and treated with anti-microbial agents so you don’t have to worry whether your family’s surrounding is really clean because you have this tool to ensure it.

Keeping things in order is also a good and healthy mind practice because it feeds you with positivity that you have a hold on things. Know that you are always free to arrange your home’s decorations based on available colors, patterns, and design. You can even purchase new ones if you feel like it.

You can also make use of fancy looking containers and boxes to properly store your belongings. But of course, as you move things around, you also need a tool to remove the dust off. In this case you might find 360° Extender Duster Set handy. It has an extendable arm that will help you reach between corners and on top of shelves and cabinets in case you also need to deal with cobwebs.

In doing the activities above, expect that you still have to shed some sweat and move a muscle or two. But now that you know how to look things into a better perspective, you can help your mind feel good and you can create a positive and empowering experience out of a common habit.

You’ll find millions if not billions of houses around the globe with their own different styles, sizes, features, and decorations.

If you go into every detail, it will seem that you’ll never find one cleaning formula. But not all cleaning tools are made to clean specific designs of homes. Some are all-around and all-purpose to be used by the general consumers and common folks.

In this article, we will be discussing some tips that are applicable to almost all types of home no matter how big or small, simple or grand they are. We will also be mentioning some cleaning tools that you can use to execute these tips.

Use an All-Around Cleaning tool on Floors

Different homes may have varied floor types. Some include tile, wooden, concrete, etc. Whatever you have at home, dust and dirt are common enemies to all people. This means all these types can all be cleaned using Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ with its easy-to-tear sheet that collects debris in almost all types of surfaces.

You don’t even need to use water with this cleaning tool because it can already pick up and collect dirt for proper disposal.

Aside from making your cleaning less messy, it is also very multi-purpose that you can use it to clean walls, and ceiling because it was built unlike the common mops. Therefore it is usable to remove cob webs and other debris as well.

Use Cleaning Towels together with Disinfectants on Common Surfaces

When we say common surface we mean the areas being touched the most by the people going in and out of the household. It includes door knobs, flush handles, cabinet handles, sofa hand rests, and many more.

Every home has at least one common surface where bacteria and germs may be passed from one person to another.

It’s best to use a disinfectant from time to time to clean these areas. Using an efficient cleaning towel such as Wowables™ also helps a lot in ensuring that nothing harmful or disease-causing microorganism will be left.

This washable and reusable cleaning tool is also best for removing stains and sticky substances from your home’s surfaces without leaving any streak or scratch compared to using a brush.

Dust-off Windows, Doors, and Other Entryways.

You may think that vacuuming one in a while is enough to keep your home clean and free from viruses. But what you don’t know is that some microorganisms are so small that they can’t be sucked in by the vacuum. Instead they will just be blown up in the air and get stuck on other surfaces. Some of these may include entrance and exits such as windows, doors, etc.

Well you don’t have to worry so much because Lola has the 360° Extender Duster Set which you can use on these entry points to remove dirt and dust which may have been brought from outside. This is a way to keep them from filling your home with allergens which can trigger not only allergies but also asthma.

What others consider as trash is a source of income for some.

For years, collecting scraps is seen as a job only for those who have zero options left. On the contrary, it is a decent way of living which offer many opportunities. 

Many business-minded people are into recycling scraps because they see its potential of giving stable flow of cash.

In support, the topic that we will be tackling today is regarding some tips on how to keep your home clean and in order when your source of living revolves around clutter.

Scrap metal

There are easy to found and easy to sell that is why many people treat it as treasure in the scrap business.

You can find these in so many things, but commonly, you will have to spend some time removing them so expect that when collecting them, you will have to pile up different stuff at home.

When disassembling, aside from tools, you need to have a cleaning towel by your side at all times. Not only to keep the metal clean but also to wipe off sweat and dirt that comes in your way.

We can confidently say that Lola Cellulose Sponge Cloths is fit for the job. It is efficient and offers maximum absorbency, perfect after washing the metal parts that you have collected.

You can use it to clean and dry your working space and the tools that you are using. To further clean your working area after working, grab Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ for the surrounding floor and walls.

This mop is like no other because of its easy-to-tear cleaning sheet instead of a bucket making it unnecessary to wash it.

With these tools, we want you to know that there is no need to compromise the cleanliness of your home for your work.

Spare parts

Working parts are commonly found on malfunctioned appliances and gadgets thrown away or sold at a very low price by their owners.

Some are salvaged through repair but for hopeless cases, only parts that can still be used or sold are collected.

Since some spare parts cannot be washed, you need a cleaning towel that will work even without the use of water.

In short, you need our Wowables™; the reusable cleaning towel that is efficient in removing stains without leaving damage or streak on surfaces.

In case there is leaking grease or oil, you can use one Wowables™ as place mat to prevent the spill from staining tables, countertops, or other surfaces at home.

We understand how difficult it is to remove stains on carpets, tiles, and walls but we have got you literally covered with our cleaning cloth.

Recyclable plastic containers

Plastic is considered as the top contributor for waste here on earth. However, people still include it in their daily lives.

This pushed some people including nature defenders to think of ways to minimize the problem with plastic; therefore recycling was introduced.

Our Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloths can help you in removing grease, oil, and other types of liquid inside the containers. These are difficult to remove and can even cause bad odor and bacterial growth.

You can also use it to wipe your sink clean after washing the containers. These are common areas for bacteria to grow and that can make your whole kitchen stink.

Nothing feels better and more inspiring that seeing your home clean while you work.

Did you just moved in to a new flat that has been uninhabited for a while or came back after staying abroad for months due to quarantine?

You are just in time for some Spring Cleaning. For houses that were left untouched for quite some time, it may require lots of effort but with the right strategy and cleaning equipment, nothing is impossible.

Here are some parts of the house where you can start your spring cleaning/home revival!

Windowsills and Window Tracks

These parts are essential as they give way for light and fresh air to get into the entire house. When unchecked for a long time, they are more likely to have a buildup of dust and dirt.

Therefore, part of your spring-cleaning routine will be to wipe them thoroughly with a cleaning cloth such as the Lola Wowables™.  

Instead of using paper towels that easily breaks or makeshift rags that can get dirty easily, our Wowables are more reliable because they are durable, reusable, and treated with anti-microbial agents.

Curtains and Window Blinds.

Even if you are putting some new ones, expect that dusting your curtains and window blinds will be a part of your regular cleaning and your spring cleaning routine because these are where debris are often trapped.

We advise you to use our 360° Duster Extender Kit during times of need. It has dusting fibers that covers all angles and effectively removes harmful dust and allergens.

You do not have to worry about not reaching the entire curtain because this one has an extendable handle that can reach up to 3 feet.

Baseboards, Shoe Molding, and Corners

Cobwebs and dirt buildup are common on corners especially if there is no one cleaning them for a long period.

Now you can put an end to this with the help of Lola Rola Sticky Mop™; the all-around cleaning tool with easy-to-tear sheets that collect dust, web, and any other debris along the way.

You can instantly clean baseboards, shoe molding, and all other corners near your floors without a sweat because of this tool’s long handle and lightweight built.

This one is not only efficient; it also offers a convenient and enjoyable spring-cleaning experience.

Doorknobs, Cabinet Handles, and Light Switches.

These common areas are among the things that you should look out for when moving back into the house.

The spread of contamination is quick and absolute when exposed on these. Therefore, quick action must be done.

Have faith because you can count on our Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe Cloths to treat these areas and free them from disease-causing bacteria.

You may also want to seek help from your chosen reliable cleaning chemicals because not only your health but also of those who will visit the house will be put at risk.

 We should learn to be wiser especially during these times where viruses such as COVID-19, which almost brought the world to its knees, are capable of causing massive outbreak and worldwide pandemic.

There’s something bigger behind dust, dirt, and other microscopic particles which we encounter every day. Thorough understanding about what causes allergies is necessary.

This is in order to be efficient in cleaning and to put a stop to irritation, discomfort, and even pain which may make yourself or your family suffer.

Aside from tobacco smoke which is a major trigger of asthma, there are also a couple of other things that are common in your household and can trigger not only asthma but also allergies.

These include pollen, mold and mildew, animal dander, dust mites, and cockroaches. In this year’s Spring Cleaning, it is time to practice a routine that will be efficient in making your home a safer space with people who are sensitive to allergens.

Here are some cleaning products that we highly recommend in order to achieve this goal:

Lola 360° Extender Duster Set

Window curtains and blinds are some of the spots where allergens are commonly trapped. Washing them regularly may be a good idea but sometimes it just wasn’t enough.

Air drying clothing and curtains outside will pick up pollen and mold so it is recommendable to use the dryer instead after washing.

Also, don’t wash your curtains too often if necessary, instead, use this effective duster to collect dust and dirt from the curtains, blinds or the window frames. It has a extendable handle so you’ll have no problem cleaning the top parts of your windows.

If we listen to what science says, then it is also time to get rid of your drapes or horizontal blinds as they are more likely to trap both dust and allergens. Switch to washable roll shades instead because they are easier to clean and less likely to pick up allergens.

Regular cleaning applies to shower curtains as well. Washing them will prevent the growth of molds which can trigger allergies.

Lola Rola Sticky Mop™

One important scientific fact to note about allergens is that some of them are so small that they can pass right through regular vacuum filters. So instead of collecting them, you are just shooting them up in the air and increases the chance of someone breathing them in.

What you need is an all-around cleaning mop like this one. It’s good for all sorts of surfaces such as vinyl, tile, hardwood, and even carpets. Although, if we are talking about allergens, then rugs and carpets are not advisable for use because they pick up dirt a lot.

Also, if for some reason, you use shampoo to wash them, then it is time to stop because the leftover moisture will just promote mold growth or increase dust mites.

If possible, just get smaller, washable rugs that you can toss into the laundry for easier cleaning.

It’s a good thing that Lola’s Sticky Mop is not only useful in cleaning allergens off the floors but it can also deal with dusts stuck on walls and ceiling fixtures. It has a very long handle and plenty of easy-to-tear cleaning sheets that will make dusting quick and convenient.

Wowables™ Cleaning Towels

This cleaning towel will deal with everything else you have at home. For most parts, you can damp it and use it to trap allergens away from tables, chairs, pieces of furniture, etc.

Since it is treated with anti-microbial agents, rest assured that no mold or bacteria can grow on it. This makes it easier to also clean surfaces.

It is also recommendable to cut the clutter which can trap dust and hide allergens like dust mites and cockroaches. Check the piles of stuff and boxes you have at home and properly dispose everything that are unnecessary to eliminate these allergens.

Make sure that you use fragrance-free products with these tools to avoid triggering allergic reactions.

In addition, keeping pets out of the bedroom would also help a lot in protecting yourself from their dander. Don't ever let pets sleep on the bed if you have pet allergies.

Wearing face masks is even more beneficial than previously thought. We can use it not only to prevent covid transmission when getting out, it is also a good way to protect ourselves or our family members when we are cleaning because all sorts of particles may be floating around the air when we start to move things.

For years, Spring Cleaning was just a usual routine for people to do things that they are not capable of doing all-year round. However, 2021 begged to be different.

After a long and dreadful experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, people learned the hard way to be more cautious and thorough especially when cleaning.

Day by day when continue on battling this deadly virus. We do not know for how long but what’s sure is that we must do something about it.

Here are some tips on turning your common spring-cleaning habit into a virus-killing practice:

Don’t just Wipe Common Surfaces sanitize them instead

Your home is riddled with common areas; from doorknobs, cabinet handles, remote control buttons, etc. This is obviously a reason why the spread of diseases can be quick and severe within the household.

So on this year’s spring cleaning, the usual wiping is not sufficient anymore. Your cleaning routine should sanitize these common areas in order to effectively clean them and stop the spread of disease caused by viruses.

Lola Wowables™ Cleaning Towel is one effective tool that can help you attain this. This reusable pape towel-alternative is treated with anti-microbial agents making sure that no bacteria or germ can grow on it.

For maximum efficiency, you can combine it with the power of your trusted cleaning agent. To make sure that not only 99% but also 100% of disease-causing viruses will be eliminated.

Make Every Entry and Exit A No-Go Zone For Dirt And Bacteria

Since viruses are from the outside, your home’s windows and door corners are where you shall take your stand. It is your primary duty to ensure that those who are entering are bringing nothing harmful inside. 

One way to do this is to use our Anti-microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloths in cleaning the corners of windows and doors. These are where lots of dust, dirt, and viruses are stuck. Wiping off the buildup of dirt during your spring-cleaning routine will help prevent a significant effect to the health of those living inside.

We cannot claim that this totally eliminates the possibility of getting Covid-19, but together with following safety protocols, this cleaning cloth can help make significant and life-saving change.

Make Sure you Deal with Areas out Of Arms Reach

There is also a high possibility that viruses will stick on surfaces that cannot be reached by the human hands. In cleaning these areas, which include narrow corners and high ceiling fixtures, you need something longer and more flexible than a pair of arms.

This is none other than Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ This all-around germ-killing mop is necessary have because its easy-to-tear sheets are capable of collecting dirt, dust, and other microscopic particles, including viruses.

Give Utensils an Extra Rub

Another important measure is to monitor and control the things that get into contact with our mouth. What we are referring to are utensils and other kitchenware. Sometimes it is inevitable for these things to get into contact with other surfaces as well.

So to be sure that no germ is getting into them, thorough washing before and after every use is required. When doing so, we highly recommend the use of our PotBrite™ Scour and Sponge.

We can confidently say that with its two sides, it already has everything you need for dishwashing. All you need to add is some help from your trusted dishwashing soap.

Goodbye bad germs and bacteria, therefore goodbye illnesses!
