Lola Clean Freaks

A clean working environment is essential for people to be more productive. It also lets them unleash their creativity as they are more comfortable with what’s around them. Even now that most are working at home, cleaning our workspace is still a must.

Here are some tips that you should add to your cleaning routine as they may help you to work more comfortably and more effectively:

Always clean up spills and leaks.

Drinking liquids for hydration or to quench thirst is important when working. You access water, juice, or coffee from time to time so expect that there will be spills. If left unattended and not taken care off, these may cause damage or short circuit to your gadgets and other equipment. Use Lola Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloths as it is not only absorbent but also effective in fighting off germs and bacteria that may be attracted to moisture.

Declutter

It’s hard to work when your working environment is crowded and congested. There will be too many distractions. So, make sure to keep all unnecessary things away from you and your working space. Throw away all trash and put your belongings on bins to organize them.

Spot clean after every meal break

Now that you are at your turf, there are a lot of things that you can do more freely and frequently, including eating. This makes your workspace more prone to getting filled with mess. That’s why it is essential to do regular spot cleaning to make sure wastes won’t buildup. Use Lola Wowables™ to wipe food off your table or floor from time to time. This way you can also prevent attracting ants or other insects that may make your working area nastier. 

Clear ways

When you are all busy and focused on your work, you wouldn’t want anything inappropriate to get into your way, especially because you are required to move from time to time; maybe to pee, get some food, or to stretch. Imagine how hassle and frustrating it is when you are rushing and you trip on something. It also poses a risk of getting into an accident if there are so many things all over your floor. Due to this, we recommend using Lola Angle Broom for swift and thorough cleaning of different types of dirt and debris that are lying around.

Tidy up the working area before and after every work day

Having a fresh start at your working day even while at home is essential for you to be productive. Allot some time minutes before your shift to organize your things and clean the surrounding. Since dust and dirt may build up overtime, it is still important for you to clean lightly even if you have already cleaned your working area the day before. You can use Lola Rola Sticky Mop not only on your floor but also on furniture, like chairs, couches, and other surfaces. Meanwhile, cleaning after working on the other hand doesn’t have to be thorough knowing that you probably exhausted most of your energy throughout the day.

Always keep in mind that without a proper cleaning habit, working can still become dreadful even when done at home where comfort is supposed to be at its best.

People are going crazy about what to do amid the COVID-19 outbreak that’s is keeping them locked inside their homes. Though there are various of activities to choose and kill time with, it’s important to focus on what’s essential during these times: Home Cleaning.

We may have been disrupted from doing our usual daily routine by this pandemic, but the good thing is that it has given us time to go back and pay attention on the things that we often set aside because we are too busy with everything that’s going on.

Do you remember the last time you cleaned your patio? Your ceiling? How about the exterior windows? This are just some of the areas that we fail to clean regularly because we don’t have time to spare. So, now is the good time to focus on them. Start by sweeping the patio along with other walkways with Lola Angle Broom, and wipe clean your interior and exterior windows with our Wowables™. Both cleaning tools are designed for tough cleaning. You can even include light fixtures and patio furniture in your cleaning task.

Since you have started with this, might as well do a general cleaning in your kitchen and bathroom. But instead of doing just the usual wiping of surfaces, focus on cleaning out closets, cupboards and the pantry. Using Lola Rola Sticky Mop™, you can thoroughly clean not only the tile but also under the toilet and the sinks too.

For an added fun, maybe you can take some before and after photos before cleaning especially if you are planning to declutter. Check how much have changed after the cleanup. You can even turn it into a vlog content or a TikTok video if you are more confident. You can share it with your friends and colleagues who you will not be able to see due to the lockdown for the sake of social distancing.

Meanwhile, for those who miss hanging out at their favorite coffee shop or working out at the gym, repurposing your room can be a good idea so you can still duplicate the activities that you used to do while staying within the comfort of your home. This may require moving of certain furniture. You can also take this opportunity to clean certain corners and remove dust using Lola Swiffer® Sweeper® Compatible Dry Sweeping Cloth from workout equipment that were hid for a very long time.

These are just of the fun ways of cleaning that you can do while staying safe at home. Instead of just laying on your bed or binge watching all day, why not spend some time working out through cleaning so you can stay fit and ready to be on-the-move once the lockdown is lifted.

Once everything is back-to-normal, you’ll never know when you will have time to clean your home again. So, might as well do it know while you have plenty of it instead of just hoping that soon you will still have extra time every once in a while.

When it comes to cleaning, people always try to think of ways to be practical that sometimes they stoop so low, that what they choose to use is not efficient and effective anymore, but just cheap and that’s all…

Disposable paper towels and makeshift rugs are some of the common cleaning materials that we use. But not because they are abundantly available doesn’t mean they are the best tools to do the job. We just might not know it but we have a better option; a tool that is not just affordable but also effective and reusable! Imagine being able to use your paper towel several times without it wearing out or becoming too dirty. How about a rug that doesn’t harbor germs and other harmful bacteria? Yes, you’ve read it right. This is all possible with Lola’s Wowables® Check out here why you should now throw away your conventional cleaning tools and start stocking up your supply of this effective cleaning tool.

Just like other cleaning tools and pads, Wowables® is versatile and can be used to clean different parts of your house such as your kitchen, bathroom, garage, floors, and windows. But what sets it apart for ordinary paper towels is not just its reusability but its amazing durability and fast-drying technology. That is what allows it to be washed and used again as if it was never used before. It also prevents the growth of odor causing bacteria not like the makeshift rug which is a common source of disease-causing germs.

• Another benefit of using Lola Wowables® is that it doesn’t need to be used along with chemicals and cleaners that are often dangerous to you and your family. In fact, instead of helping, strong cleaners actually just cause damage to your home’s surfaces through time. But no worries because you just have to damp Lola’s Wowables® for more effectivity.

Aside for drying out spills, wiping surfaces, and dust removal, the Wowables® also works in cleaning up paint and it is also safe for dry fresh produce and vegetables, making it useful in food preparation. Plus, it can be used to open jar and container lids.

It is made without a core unlike standard paper towels so it can be a good choice for you if you are someone who’s serious in lessening your generated waste to help the environment. Rest assured that this does not produce lint which can be hard to clean and can trigger allergies.

In short, Lola Wowables® is created for all your cleaning needs. Make your cleaning routine simple and hassle free with this product that you wish have long existed. All you have to do after every use is wash it, rinse it out, and keep it for another day.

Because you made it this far, here’s a bonus tip: if you put it in the dishwasher or in the washing machine and set it on cold cycles, it will be as good as new again so you can use it longer!

As spring continues, people probably have long list of things that they might be doing. Constantly, they will go to work, not only to do their job but also to dust off their desks and clean up their cabinets and computers. Here is a spring-cleaning checklist of things in your office that you have to clean for you to have a fresher workspace this season.

Computer and Keyboard – As you sit in front of the monitor every day, the dirt and dust you carry from the outside builds up on it so you may find it dirty every once in a while. But, there’s nothing to worry about because you can regularly clean your whole computer and all its parts; from its CPU, monitor, keyboard, and mouse using Lola Wowables which can wipe off and clean loose debris. While narrow gaps and crevices in between buttons and keys should be thoroughly cleaned using a vacuum.

Supply drawer – It’s time to throw away all the unnecessary writing utensils that aren’t in use anymore. You also need some drawer dividers so you can sort out and separate paper clips, pens, staples and other office supplies before putting them in areas where they are easily accessible.

Filing cabinet – Whether it's a single drawer or a full cabinet, you should always maintain and keep clean these file cabinets. Check all unnecessary files so you can throw them away and create a clean, organized filing system for all of your important documents. You can also consider color-coding the files for certain tasks, as well. To clean the cabinet generally from dirt and dust, try using a Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth.

Phone – Your desk phone is most likely to be the dirtiest places in your office. So, take a Lola Anti-Microbial Cloth paired with a disinfectant spray and clean off the buttons and receiver. Make sure you do this as often as once every day or two to make sure you kill harmful bacteria that may cause diseases to harm your health.

Papers – Documents should be dealt with appropriately so they won’t just randomly lay around. Make sure you always sort out any miscellaneous pile of papers on your desk. Either they will be shredded or filed away and kept.

Décor – Believe it or not, the design around you may affect your mood. That’s why it is important to refresh the walls of your office every once in a while, by putting up current photos, inspirational quotes and anything else that will help keep you on track and make every space lively and interesting.

Fridge – Spills or spoiled food and condiments left alone for so long can make an unpleasant odor on your fridge. After some time, this may be hard to remove. So, act as soon as you can. Schedule clean out days and post a note on the fridge to notify your co-workers about it. This way, if the day comes and food isn't clearly labeled with a name and date, you can instantly toss it away to keep the interior clean and to free up some space.

Coffeemaker – As one of the dirtiest places in the entire office, this appliance needs extra attention. A thorough wash of both the pot and machine are needed. You can also use Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cloth to wipe it clean on the break room counter where you can also post a note to ask other people to not forget cleaning it regularly.

A workspace that is messy and cluttered adds unnecessary stress to everyone around. That’s why it’s important to stay organized, set weekly and monthly reminders to organize, and clean your desk area. It is not only your responsibility but also of the other employees to keep your office clean.

Arachnophobia has a great impact on people’s lives. Once the fear sinks in, most of a person’s daily activities are affected including his/her performance at work. It also makes a person feel uncomfortable and unsafe in areas which he/she believes could harbor spiders or that has visible signs of their presence, such as webs.

Every time an arachnophobe sees a spider, they may feel hesitant to enter the general vicinity due to the panic attack that comes along with the phobia. So, imagine how traumatic it is whenever a spider-fearing person sees one within his/her own home where he/she is meant to feel safe.

Luckily, there are some effective ways to get rid of spiders in a household. This involves the proper strategy combined with dedication and consistency in cleaning. Check these cleaning tips to make your arachnophobe friends or family feel better and safer at home.

You can start by blocking all entry points, to prevent wild spiders from coming in your house. Holes such as the gap under your main door are their primary entrance. You can use some stacked and crumpled Lola Wowables™ as alternative to seal the gaps or cracks and keep these arachnids outside. This is while making sure that you keep your doors and windows closed as often as you can. Meanwhile, on other bigger holes, Lola Stainless Steel Scourers or Copper Mesh Scourer may work as these polypods won’t find their way through them. They can’t chew on them either. Plus, they also work on other pests such as mice.

Sweeping and mopping the floors is the next thing that you want to do. This is to directly and instantly remove spiders along with their webs and eggs. It is important to destroy spider egg sacs to prevent the emergence of more young spiders. Use Lola Angle broom and Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ side by side to make sure these critters will be gone in a blink of an eye. Also don't forget to dust the corners of every rooms with Lola Swiffer® Sweeper® Compatible Dry Sweeping Cloth to trap dirt, dust and crumbs.

Getting a pet cat may also help. As these four-legged hunters naturally seek out vermin like mice and spiders for snacks. Just be sure you aren't in an area where poisonous spiders are common, since they might make your feline friend sick.

Reduce clutter and organize your things in your closet, garage, basement and attic to keep insects such as these spiders away since they prefer quiet and dark places. Wipe them with Lola Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloth not only to keep away bugs but also to prevent germ growth. Know that spiders commonly stay on places where there is a food source so corners where other insect constantly flutter is attractive to spiders.

Your home’s exterior foundation may also become nest to these vermin. So, move away firewood, stacked items, and debris away from them to help reduce spiders migrating indoors. Cut away or trim shrubs, vines and tree limbs closely connected to the house since they serve as convenient and easy bridge to your structure.

Insecticide sprays can often help deter spiders and other pests from entering homes. But they are not always safe for you, your family and your pets. So, it is also better to have natural alternatives that are free from the use of chemicals.

Thorough regular inspection of corners, and other dark, undisturbed areas within your home for cracks or holes using a bright flashlight, you can locate and determine the extent of spider infestations and prevent it from worsening.

You may not realize it yet but you play an important role to your arachnophobe loved one. Your main responsibility is to give them a safe, stress-free environment as they try to overcome their fears.

Spring is a new beginning for all of us. After being kept at home by the chills of winter, it’s finally time for us to be free and do all the things we missed doing. But it also reminds us of the important tasks such as cleaning which we may be setting aside often. But it is not too late to realize what truly matters. So, we’re here to discuss some of these because it’s finally time to look into them and do something with our routine. Included below are some cleaning tips that will work conveniently for any of you who takes spring cleaning seriously.

Clean your shower curtain and liner

When cleaning the bathroom, commonly, people only focus on the tiles and the tub. So, maybe at the start of spring cleaning, you may want to wash off those shower curtains, too. They should be laundered if possible or replaced if the liner is riddled with mold. You can also wash them with a disinfectant if you want. Majority of shower curtains can be cleaned in a normal gentle cycle of your washing machine, so it won’t be so hard to do it.

Wipe out dirt and dust from your lampshades

Aside from vacuuming, using Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cloth is a good way to make your lampshade clean. You might want to include cleaning all your lampshades at home this spring cleaning, to make sure they will be well lit again, without the dust and dirt buildup getting into the way.

Wash or dry clean your curtains

When was the last time your curtains got a thorough cleaning? This might be a good time to launder or dry clean your curtains when you're doing a top-to-bottom cleaning of your home. This is after the unnoticed dust build up through the years. It might trigger allergies but it also warms up the rooms especially when the sun is well up. 

Scrub your stove

After all the delicious saucy dishes that spilled and splattered around your stove, it is time to freshen it up. Unlike ovens where an automatic cleaning cycle can be run, stoves need some scrubbing and wiping. Lola has a variety of scrubbers you can choose from depending on the type of stove and the severity of stains. Lola Wowables can also be effectively use as a multipurpose cloth because not only can it be used in wiping but also as a pot holder to keep your hands from extreme temperature.

Vacuum and mop under your major appliances and furniture

We may have taken a few swipes at our appliances and furniture at home, but chances are we are only able to clean their main surfaces but not the hidden corners and crevices which might have accumulated lots of dirt and dust already. So, it is essential to constantly check your TV, Fridge, cabinets and drawers. Use our Lola 360° Extender Duster to collect all the dirt on narrow spaces or high areas. Do not forget to wipe the base of your toilet with Lola Antimicrobial Cloth, coupled with a disinfectant spray, as well as wash your shower head and hoses to make sure that only fresh, clean water will flow through them this spring. 

Whether it’s a fully furnished house or an empty space you are putting up for grabs, it is similarly important to do some preparations to make your house attractive for the next buyer especially if you are eyeing to get a good price for it. But worry not because it doesn’t have to be expensive. You don’t have to buy any additional furniture. Instead, you can focus more on cleaning.  Here are some cleaning tips before you put the ‘for sale’ sign:

Sweep and Declutter – Buyers must view the home as spacious and welcoming. But this won’t be possible if you would show it to them filled with all kinds of stuff. So, before revealing it to its future occupants, make sure you clean and empty all major living areas such as countertops, tables, and windowsills. You also have to make sure that they are free from dirt. Use Lola Swiffer® Sweeper Compatible Dry Sweeping Cloth to effectively clean these parts of your house. Also clean the insides of closets, drawers, and cupboards. It is also important to do some sweeping with Lola Angle Broom.

It’s up to you if you will donate or sell your excess stuff and donate it as long as it will be cleared and put off-site. Packing up before hand is not just to make it easier to sell the house, but it also makes moving out faster and more convenient.

De-personalize the House – One effective strategy in selling a house is to make someone envision how great their life would be settling in that house. You have to convince them that it is a place where they can start making wonderful memories. But, with your mark all over the place, it won’t be possible. So, as the seller, you have to make sure that anything that will remind them of any previous life may affect how they see the house. Instead, you must make them feel that this house is something they can own. This can be easily done by removing all your personal items including furniture and family photos.

Repaint Walls to Neutral Tones – a neutral light color allows buyers to imagine what the walls would look like with the color of their choice. So, it will be easier for them to picture themselves living on it. However, dirt and stains become more visible on walls with light colors as time pass by, so regular cleaning is important.  You can remove all sorts of dirt on these walls including webs using the Lola 360° Extender Duster It is also easier to put new paint when the walls are clean and smooth.

Check Out for Possible Source of Foul Odor – Any remaining bad smells or lingering odors from your bathroom or kitchen, can instantly become a major turn-off. This is why it is important to do some deep cleaning instead of just covering it all up with deodorizers. Instead, use some effective soap along with Lola Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloth to scrub the counters, floors, and walls. This is effective in killing molds, germs, and invisible bacteria that causes the stink.

Make Everything Spotless – Even if you have already done some initial cleaning with your house, it is important to clean some more. To make sure it looks good and attractive all of the time. Using Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser Comparable Rubaway™ Eraser Pads By Lola check areas that you might have missed and wipe them thoroughly to remove scuffs and marks. Exert extra effort on the bathroom and make sure the tile, counters, shower, and floors are sparkly clean. You must take note that the key to having a sellable house is to make every part of it perfectly clean all the time.
