Lola Clean Freaks

There are simple household cleaning tools at home that you can utilize and use for greater purpose. Just like the common cleaning sponge that is not as simple as it seems, especially our cleaning sponges that are all made to stand out and be extraordinary. Speaking of sponges, today we will be discussing about ways on how you can use your common cleaning sponge more creatively.

Sponge protective padding – When putting things on boxes, the same sponge that you use when washing the dishes can serve as a good alternative for bubble wrap and tissue paper in protecting valuable or fragile belongings. You don’t also need to crumple papers or find some spare pieces of foam to serve as padding because you can have some of our high-quality and multipurpose sponges for a very cheap price. You can use Pot Brite™ Scour N' Sponge because it is made to provide extra protection to help prevent even the slightest scratches to delicate pieces of glass and porcelain.

Alternative Knee Pads – When cleaning the floor, getting down on your knees has always been torture, giving us intolerable knee pain, sores, and blisters. Using sport kneepads may look weird and is considered as unnecessary cost. Why buy if you can use an alternative at home? What we mean by the alternative is your dishwashing sponge. Aligning the soft part of the sponge to your knees and the abrasive part to the floor can give you protection. Use Pot Brite™ Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges. It is made strong and suitable to carry heavy wait without causing damage to the floor and to your knees.

Clean containers and bottles with narrow openings – Stressed about how to clean your bottles and jars at home because you don’t know what bottle cleaning tool would work? Don’t look any further, just grab your cleaning sponge at home, attach two to a pair of chopsticks and you’ll have your DIY bottle cleaner! To achieve more desirable results, we recommend the Pot Brite™ All Purpose Scrub Sponges, the cleaning tool designed with the efficiency and durability required for all types of cleaning tasks.

For fur remover – For animal lovers, pet fur is a common problem. Buying a pet hair remover can be expensive. Just grab a sponge and use its rough surface to pick up fur and hair by rubbing it over furniture or clothing. We greatly believe that our Cellulose Sponge and Scourer has the right texture and composition to remove fur. If you really want an instant and lasting solution, just purchase Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ which has an adhesive rolling mop head that collects fur, dirt and dust.

Utensil Cleaner – Even with all its versatility and flexibility, sponges still works best in dishwashing. Plates and bowls area a piece of cake. Utensils however, are a different story. Cleaning them requires intricacy. But you’ll have no problem with the Scrub N' Wipe Boss because unlike the common sponge, it is made with a slit specifically added for cleaning utensils. You just have to slide them in and out until it’s all clean.

If you think of the typical mop, you would not have the slightest idea that it can be transformed into an all-around cleaning tool but we have some good news for you.

For collectors, every cleaning is literally a ‘make it or break it’ moment for their collection, whereas mistakes are costly so they need to be extremely cautious in their every move. The cleaning process varies depending on the materials used in making the item.

Here, we will narrow down our discussion to cleaning antique wood, antique metal and general collectible items along with some product recommendations that will ensure the preservation of their quality:

Antique Wood

Our first tip is to avoid using water as it can easily get into the wood grain or between wood veneers that can lead to different issues such as swelling, buckling, and separation of the wood. Also, avoid using products that require diluting with a lot of water or any high-liquid cleaning solution to prevent any irreversible effect to the quality of your antiques.

Use only soft 100% cotton cloth such as Lola’s All Purpose cloth and carefully wipe the furniture in circular motions so you will not leave any damage. Also, avoid harmful or intense chemicals for cleaning. Instead, you can use solutions such as mineral spirits to treat antique wood furniture.

Meanwhile, our super absorbent Cellulose Sponge Cloth is perfect for cleaning and drying glasses and mirrors on the furniture. They ensure no moisture will be left and that the glass will not have any streaks or stains.

Antique Metal

Rust is the main problem of antique metal collectors. This means soft cloth and cleaning solution will not work. Instead, you have to look for a better tool to deal it. Something with an abrasive surface such as our Wonder Scourer™ Non Scratch Scouring Pad that you can use to brush off the rust without leaving scratches to the metal. Just be careful not to use it on polished surfaces to prevent scratching it.

You can also try our Lola Wowables™ in applying an appropriate cleaning solution, wiping clean the metal right after brushing off the rust, and wiping the metal dry/making sure there is no more solution left on it.

Collectibles Items

People usually collect several things. It may vary from toys, coins, comic books, stamps and many more. These items are kept commonly because of two reasons; either high monetary or sentimental value.

There is a general rule whereas seldom do these items need to be cleaned with water. Either because of what they are made of or because it may affect their quality. So avoid using it unless you do not mind them having lesser or zero monetary value.

We encounter spills and stains almost daily in our life and within our households. It happens when we are cleaning, eating, decorating the house, and doing other activities that puts us near fluids and liquid materials.

For first-time car owners, the additional cost that comes with it can be surprising. They must understand that aside from accessories and repair, they also have to spend on cleaning; not only the outside but also the inside. The usual way of cleaning inside a car is with a vacuum. It is for the regular removal of hair, fur, and dust stuck inside.  However, not because you had the ability to purchase the car doesn’t always mean you are also capable of buying a vacuum and paying for additional charges that comes through your electric bill. You can still be practical even with a car… No, we mean ESPECIALLY with a car.

Today we will be discussing about practical tips on how to clean your car without using a vacuum. Now, get ready to take notes because you will probably need these recommendations:

Use a Cleaning towel – areas that you usually touch such as the steering wheel, dashboard, cup-holders, buttons, and door handles, should be cleaned thoroughly because they can easily harbor and spread germs and bacteria. They are also more likely to get dirt and stains because they get into contact with your hands, which also gets into contact with countless number of things. Lola Wowables™ is one of the tools that you must grab.

Get your hands into an all-around cleaning mop – For a quick and easy removal of dust and dirt, you need something that’s not a vacuum but works like one. A cleaning mop with a sticky head is best to clean the roof, the floor, the under-seats, and the trunk/luggage compartment. These are areas that are beyond arm’s reach so you might find it difficult to clean them with a common, short-handled brush. We recommend Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ for this job; engineered with a long and durable handle, it is capable of reaching deep places and narrow gaps. It can even be used on your vehicle carpets. It also has a cleaning sheet that is sticky and capable of collecting small and even microscopic dirt. You can also tear it when it gets filled with dust and dirt. Meanwhile, refills can be purchased separately.

Always keep a brush and a dust pan close to you – For bigger debris or tougher dirt, you might need to level up your cleaning with a combination of a brush and a dust pan to collect and properly dispose them. You can count on our Dust Pan & Brush Set - Clip On for pieces of trash, balls of hair, crumbled paper, etc. Make sure you also have a garbage bag with you that has enough capacity to have everything that you will get inside the car.

So, it is still a must to practice all sorts of safety measures to remain healthy. One of these measures is having a clean and safe environment. Here are some tips and recommendations that will keep you and your family safe while you are at home.

Use protective gear for routine cleaning and disinfection – When cleaning your home, wearing of cleaning gloves, mask, and eye guard are essential to protect your eyes, nose, and mouth that may serve as entryway of disease-causing germs and viruses.

Keep a separate room and bathroom (If possible) for people that are sick – During outbreaks, home quarantine is a considerable option especially when hospitals and other medical facilities can no longer accommodate the massive number of patients. When at home, an ill individual must be isolated from other healthy family members unless proven that his/her illness cannot be passed. Otherwise, a separate room and bathroom (if space allows) must be prepared to reduce the exposure and the contact between the patient and other the healthy people. You must also clean these facilities used by the infected individual with disinfectant regularly. Use protective gear when doing so. You can also count on our Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ for debris and stains on walls and floors. It also has cleaning sheets that you can tear and dispose instantly afterwards.

This also applies on other clothing materials such as towels, linens, and other items. Thoroughly clean them with Lola Scrub brush to remove all debris including dirt and dust. You should also disinfect laundry hampers to make sure there’s no live virus left.

Have proper sanitation in food preparation – Food plays a crucial part in spreading viruses since we consume it through ingestion, germs and bacteria that can make us sick may come along. It is important to properly wash and sanitize your hands before you handle food to prevent contamination. Also make sure that you have a cleaning cloth such as Lola Anti-microbial Clean N' Wipe™ cloths by your side to wipe countertops, cooking tools, or your hands.
