Lola Clean Freaks

Cleaning is a tough but fulfilling job. It takes more than strong guts to survive in the industry. There are preparations that are necessary for success such as investing on the right equipment and being knowledgeable on how to use them wisely.

Now more than ever, it was proven by the current circumstances how important hygiene and household cleanliness are. That’s why professions related to cleaning are also being seen as vital. Utility employees are even considered as front liners in the fight against COVID-19.

Going back to our topic, let’s have a brief comparison between working under an agency and being a freelancer in this industry. Under an agency, everything that you will use is commonly provided by the institution or clients that you will be working on. This means you don’t have to worry about looking for supplies. However, this will also mean you won’t have control on the quality of your equipment. On the other hand, if you are a freelancer, you may be required to spend and invest on your own tools. But the good thing is you can make sure you can find the best quality of cleaning equipment that you can afford. This way you are also free to find tools that are compatible to your work.

Here we’ll discuss some of the basic cleaning equipment that you will be needing if you decide to enter the cleaning industry.

Cleaning towel

Aside for convenience, people who are practical may also find it useful to always have a towel or two within arm’s reach when cleaning especially smooth surfaces. Cleaning cloths are not only easy to use but are also very effective in the quick removal of dirt, dust, and stains with or without a cleaning agent.

Having said that, we offer you Lola Wowables™. A reusable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly alternative to the usual paper towel which is 5x stronger and 4x more absorbent.

Cleaning Brush

As much as we want to be gentle when doing things, some tasks such as cleaning require extra force and coarseness. In this case, having a brush can be found useful. If you are into tough cleaning but doesn’t want to hurt your hands, we recommend Lola Handled Scrubber built with an iron style handle to give you comfort and ease while using it.

Sponge and Scourer

Whether you need this or not depends on the nature and scope of your work. If it includes cleaning or dishes, cook wares, or containers, then you may find this necessary to buy. Here we have what we call the Lola Pot Brite™ Scour N' Sponge, a 2-in-1 dishwashing tool that has everything you need for cleaning tough grease and stains.

Broom

As one of the most basic but frequently used cleaning tools, this is a must-have for you as a house/home cleaner especially if you don’t have the budget for a vacuum or if you want to save electricity.

Who needs the conventional broom if you can have the new and improved Lola Angle Broom It is specifically made to reach narrow gaps and spaces so no corner will be left uncleaned.

Mop

Finally, the need for this one along with its effectiveness relies on the type of material that you can find around the area you are cleaning. This is usually advisable on most smooth surfaces. But with the conventional mop, we are usually boxed to just cleaning floors. So, for a change, we present to you our very own version, the Lola Rola Sticky Mop with its adhesive mop head and ergonomic handle. With this you can clean not only floors but also every wall and ceiling that you can reach.

Having a vacuum is a privilege that not everyone of us can enjoy. That’s why for many, dusters are considered as life savers. Unfortunately, not all regular dusters work. For us to fully enjoy a cleaned home, a tool that is durable and effective is required. One that we can always count on for a very long time.

Obviously, we are not here to talk for other brands. All that we can say is that with our Swiffer® 360° Duster Compatible, we guarantee satisfaction and cleanliness all around your home and now we are here to explain to you why.

The Swiffer® 360° Duster Compatible is an all-around refillable duster that has a disposable head and adjustable handle to deeply collect dirt and dust on corners and gaps around your home. It boasts its flexibility in covering different areas and angles when cleaning and its effectiveness when it comes to collecting different allergens. Modesty aside but this one will surely outperform the average feather duster as it is made suitable for all types of home. That’s why it is 100% safe for use on different hard surfaces such as tile and wood.

We also put in a generous amount of versatility as it can also be used on electronic devices such as computers, keyboards, printers, and many more. You can count on its fluffy feathers which gives it gentleness on sensitive surfaces so it will not leave any form of damage or scratch.

Pet lovers will also surely love this cleaning equipment, as this is made perfect for use when picking up fur or any other mess left behind by their beloved pets. No need to get stressed when cleaning after your animal buddy as this tool will help you a lot.

Stressed because of unclean windows and blinds? We got you. This tool is also good in cleaning glass surfaces. So, you don’t have to worry anymore about how you can make windows and mirrors clear and shiny at home.

Now that most of us have all the time in the world to focus on our homes, everyone should grab the opportunity to make our time worthwhile and have a tool that truly works for our home. Why settle for cheap but ineffective feather dusters when there’s one that is efficient and comes in an affordable price?

To complete the package, we designed it to have a hang hole on its handle to make storage and maintenance stress-free. This way you can keep it on secured places where your children and pets won’t be able to get it. It also makes it less likely for you to misplace it or put it on locations where it can be accidentally damaged or destroyed.

More importantly, you don’t have to bother cleaning your dusters head over and over anymore, because our duster’s head is replaceable so you can just dispose it and get a new one when it becomes too dirty.

You see, having Lola’s feather duster is just like having your own vacuum but for a much cheaper price! What else could you ever look for?

Reaching the senior year is not usually where life ends. But one might start to have limited mobility due to illness or as a sign of age taking its toll because of an unhealthy lifestyle back in the younger years. But it doesn’t mean one must completely stop moving and doing his/her daily routine (Except when he/she really is not capable anymore)

There are light cleaning routines that are suitable for the elders especially those who don’t have people that will assist them 24/7 and those who now have brittle bones and limited movement. Check these tips below about how to clean your home while remaining safe now that you are in your golden years:

Lola Wowables™ is a towel that’s made efficient, reusable, and eco-friendly. It is the perfect alternative for the regular paper towel when cleaning, cooking, and doing other tasks. It is designed using durable and delicate material so it won’t easily scratch or damage every surface or furniture that it comes into contact with.

Meanwhile, dusting is an essential task that must be done regularly. However, it poses a risk of causing allergies or triggering respiratory problems especially to people whose immunity are weaker because they are more vulnerable. That’s why if they have no choice but to do it by themselves, it is important to always wear protective equipment such as gloves, face mask, and eye shield to keep themselves safe all the time. We also advise them to use our Swiffer® Duster Compatible which is a refillable tool that’s effective in collecting dirt and dust on crevices and narrow spaces to make sure the job will be done in no time. It is made with a long handle so they don’t have to bend over or tip toe as that may increase their chance of getting into an accident.

Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ has a flexible and sticky head so it can clean hard-to-reach areas, narrow gaps, and crevices. It also has a long handle that will help in reaching highly elevated surfaces such as top of tall furniture, window and door frames, and ceiling.

While in terms of dishwashing, we also didn’t forget to keep in mind the welfare of our grandfathers and grandfathers who will be using our products. Using our Pot Brite™ Scour N' Sponge will save their hands from tough scrubbing because this 2-in-1 dishwashing tool has a sponge and scourer sides that effortlessly removes dirt, oil, and grease.

Traditionally, mothers are the busiest person in a household. But today, distribution of tasks within the family is now being widely practiced. However, majority of the responsibility still falls into the shoulder of the family’s matriarch. As much as we want this culture to end, it would be very difficult as it will require a huge change on the behavior and mindset of many of us.

For now, the best thing that we could do is to help them find ways on how it would be easier for them to do these daily tasks. So here are some tips, on how both mothers and mothers at heart can keep their cleaning effective but less stressing.

IMPROVISE YOUR OWN CLEANING SCHEDULE

For mothers, having cleaning schedule will be vital in staying organized and focused on their most important cleaning goals. Not only will this serve as a guide so they can stick to their priorities and keep track of their progress but also for them to allot time for rest and leisure. In making a cleaning schedule, all that’s needed is to simply list all basic tasks that are aimed to be completed on a weekly basis before assigning them to a certain day of the week. Doing this will save them from cramming and forcing themselves to finish every task in a day. Instead, they can just focus each day on one or two tasks then the rest of the day is theirs to spend.

It’s up to them if they’ll clean their home’s walls, the ceiling, and furniture on different days. As long as they’ll use our Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ which is perfect for removing dust and dirt stuck on different surfaces.

DECLUTTER AND LET GO OF EXCESS BELONGINGS

Whether we admit it or not, one of the major reasons why it is so hard to clean up our homes is commonly due to the pile up of unused belongings. We understand how hard it is to let go of something that you have kept for years but now that they already have no actual purpose anymore, then it’s time to throw away (completely useless), sell or donate (decent) the things that are not useful for your anymore. Just make sure that you have Lola Wowables™ in hand when you start to move these things so you can wipe off the dirt they left behind on your desks, drawers, shelves, and cupboard.

TEAM UP WITH THE KIDS

To mommies out there, there’s nothing wrong if you ask for some help with the other people in your household. This is also another way of getting the job done and making sure it will be accomplished without requiring you to exhaust all of your energy. After all, cleaning is not the only thing that have to do all day. So perhaps you can ask the kids to assist you with simple tasks such as sweeping your living room with Lola Large Angle Broom  or Mopping the dining area with Lola Pro Amazin™ Scrubber Roller Mop or Flexible Dust Mop.

SPEND SOME MINUTES TO TIDY UP EACH EVENING

It would be helpful in making cleaning tasks lighter and easier if you would be practical by dealing with any residual clutter around the house before bed time. It can be as simple as putting away dishes that were left drying on the counter, throwing or keeping away papers laying around, or putting away toys left under the couch.

If you feel that there’s too much stuff around, you can grab a laundry basket so you can pick up anything that doesn’t belong to where they are. You can set up a time limit so you won’t find yourself spending too much time keeping things organized. After tidying up, you can now spend some time to relax for the rest of the evening without being surrounded by an annoying bunch of clutter.

Even if we always feel like doing nothing, there’s really a thing or to that we can’t escape from. This includes cleaning, unless we pay for it or we have someone who will be willing to do it for us. Unfortunately, most of us are don’t have that. Also, paying for your home to be cleaned regularly will be expensive so it would be really practical if you would do it yourself. But don’t worry, because if you are 100% lazybones, here area some tips we gathered to help you out:

Practice Using Liners under Cookware When Preparing Food

Whether you are cutting, mixing, sifting, filtering, or transferring food, it is advisable that you use a material that you can put under your cookware to catch any leak or spill and avoid any unnecessary cleaning. Most of the people who do this trick use plastic or paper towels. But we know a more preferable solution: Lola Wowables™!

That’s right. This reusable cleaning cloth is not only effective when used for wiping different surfaces. It is also made versatile enough that it can now be used for other tasks such as preparing and cooking food. Aside from saving you from additional cleaning caused by fallen ingredients, it also cuts your expenses significantly because unlike plastic and paper, it is washable so it can be used over and over again!

Practice ‘Spot’ Cleaning regularly instead of Scheduling a General one

If you are someone who already feels tired even just with the thought of cleaning your whole house, then we have a tip for you; it’s okay to take your time and clean little by little instead of working on everything at once. It’s understandable if you don’t want to pressure yourself and if you feel that you will be productive if you take it easy. Perhaps you can start with the windows and the walls first. Our Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ is here to lend you a hand in removing dirt and dust from your home’s foundations in no time. After that you can take a break and do something else then start cleaning again, but this time, work on another area of the house such as the floors. Do some sweeping with Lola Angle Broom. Practice this daily and last thing you’ll know; you’re done with your goals!

Avoid Building Up Clutter

Regularly checking your belongings and purging items that are not useful anymore will save you a lot of time and effort instead of hoarding and dealing with a bigger problem in the future. It’s understandable if you are sentimental and wanted to hold on to things but you must also analyze if a certain thing is really worth it to keep. Not only will these piles of unused stuff occupy space but they will also arbor dust and dirt that will give your home an unpleasant smell and may trigger allergies and other diseases!

So, if you are someone who is concerned of your home’s cleanliness and your family’s health, then start looking into corners and hidden containers for things that can be given or thrown away because there are thousands of ways you can use that extra space to make your home lovelier!

Use the right tools when cleaning sensitive surfaces such as Glass

In our efforts to try and find cheap and quick ways to clean the surfaces in our home including glass and mirrors, we unconsciously go into deeper trouble, making our problem even bigger! One good thing about being lazy is if you are using it to think of ways not to quicken cleaning but how you can make your cleaning more EFFECTIVELY. So, when dealing with mirrors or glass, we advise you not to use paper towels as they can leave scratches on glass. Instead, use a sponge such as our Pot Brite™ Non-Scratch Scouring Sponge in one direction on one side of the glass and the opposite direction on the other side so that if you miss a spot, it's then easy to tell which side of the glass it's on. Remember that you have to use the soft side so you won’t damage the glass. But don’t worry because you can still use the scouring side on other surfaces such as in your patio.

In times of virus outbreak, proper hygiene is one of our best weapons. Despite the lockdown imposed by governments around the globe, it is still inevitable for many of us to not go out once even every once in a while, due to the need of buying supplies and other essentials or to go to hospitals and supermarkets to seek essential products and services. That’s why it is important for us to practice proper cleaning measures to assure that we won’t contract the highly-contagious disease which will endanger ourselves and our families.

Here are some items that you have to sanitize and disinfect as you as you get home after fetching supplies or doing other important businesses:

Gadgets

Your phone as well as other electronic devices that you carry with you as you go outside can easily catch different types of germs and bacteria. They are also likely to contribute in spreading diseases due to frequent touching and the lack of proper cleaning.

So, from now on, it is advisable that you do regular cleaning of these gadgets using the appropriate solution partnered with the effective cleaning power of Lola Wowables™. It is also washable and reusable so It is a very affordable cleaning tool perfect for this quarantine season where most of us are struggling with tight-budget.

Accessories

These includes your watch and your other hand jewelries such as rings and bracelets which you also touch. We can include car keys too as we also hold into them frequently when we travel outside to run some errands. It is important to note that viruses which live on air and on other materials through liquid particles can survive for hours and we can easily catch them anywhere as we pass by or as we hold into things that infected people have touched too. You can use Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth because it is made of a durable material that is gentle on surfaces. This means it will not leave any scratch or damage on our precious jewelries.

Clothes and Slippers/Shoes

This may seem too much, but if you really are concerned not only of your well-being but also of the people around you, then it’s better to be safe than sorry. Practice changing clothes after washing yourself then throw your used clothes immediately on a disinfecting solution. We also recommend cleaning your shoes and your leather wallet (if you have one) because it is likely that you have touched it a lot of times when you went outside to buy some groceries.

Door knob and Pathway

As soon as you come back to your property, these are the first common areas that you come into contact with. Let’s say you have enough protective gear so you are safe from getting infected, but this doesn’t mean that you are not carrying any virus with you.

In fact, you can be carrying it through the clothes you wear or your shoes and that makes it very likely for the virus to reach your home starting from here. But you can end that here through proper and thorough cleaning. After getting changed, you can bring a disinfecting solution along with Lola Wowables™ and our Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ to wipe clean your door and your patio, just to make sure that your home will be 100% virus-free.

The kitchen can be described as a paradise within a paradise for many of us. It is where many of us run to seek and prepare something that will satisfy our hunger and quench our thirst.

Most of the food that we consume are stored and cooked here that’s why it is important that we treat with outmost care and respect, and a huge part of this can be shown by maintaining cleanliness at all times.

However, despite the importance that it signifies, still most of the dirtiest areas of the home still can be found in the kitchen. This means many of us are still not responsible with our home and its maintenance.  Many are still unaware or apathetical of the fact that food hygiene and good food safety practices holds the key to preventing the transmission of diseases through food.

So here we will be discussing important kitchen cleaning tips along with some cleaning tool recommendations to make sure our kitchen is safe and hygienic all the time.

Clean Between the Lines

There are many examples of cleaning the wrong way, but today we will discuss a few including one that is frequently practiced by many; getting complacent on making surfaces shiny. What these people are forgetting is that germs and bacteria can find their way on gaps and crevices where they can still survive and thrive. Take note that bacteria grow best in warm, moist, dark places. This highlights the important of also focusing on hidden areas such as in between of tiles, under the sink, cabinet door hinges, etc.

In this battle, Lola Wowables™ is with you. It is the perfect alternative for regular paper towels as it is reusable and made with fast drying technology which prevents the growth of odor causing bacteria. It also has dual purpose – drying out spills (dry top) and cleaning (when damped).

Reach High and Deep Below

Cleaning your kitchen is different from crossing the road. So, don’t just look left and right. You also have to hold your head high and reach for dirt, dust, and web build-up on your ceiling. Also don’t forget about mopping the very floor you are standing on. In doing all these tasks, our Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ is a tool that you can count on. It has a flexible sticky head that effective collects dirt, dust, and hair. It is also designed with a long handle so you don’t have to tip toe or stoop down low when cleaning the ceiling or the floor.

Don’t’ be Dependent on the Use of Chemicals

If you are someone who’s not a fan of using the dishwasher and prefers cleaning the dishes by hand, let us give you some backup. Our Pot Brite™ Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge is here to lend you a hand so you’ll be ready to fight tough stains, leftover oil, and grease! Its dual sides offer absorbency and abrasiveness to clean all sorts of cookware. With this, you won’t need detergent or other strong chemicals anymore to clean your kitchenware as it may only affect the taste of your food!
