Lola Clean Freaks

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.

Aside from being extra careful, we also have to be prepare for the cleanup because accidents do happen inevitably.  During these times, an absorbent material such as cleaning towel is what we need. However, it can’t be JUST ANY cleaning towel. It must be effective and appropriate for the surface and the spill you will be cleaning.

Here are some of our cleaning cloth products together with a guide on how you can deal with spills using them:

Lola Anti-Microbial Clean N’ Wipe™ Cloth – If you are trying to clean-off spilled soup or juice on your table or sink, we think that this is what you need. This odor resistant cleaning cloth is treated with antimicrobial agents that prevents the growth of most bacteria in it. So rest assured that it can stay effective for a longer

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.

COVID-19 vaccines are on their way. But do not forget that we are still at risk of contracting the disease while waiting to get vaccinated and even after a few days of taking the shot. 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. Frequent cleaning of touched surfaces such as Tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks is necessary. For these surfaces, you can use Lola Wowables™ together with household disinfectants against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

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.    

Wash items (if possible) – After every trip outdoors, you must change your clothes and wash them to kill the viruses that you have brought with you. 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.

Practice proper waste disposal – Before throwing anything in the trash, make sure you have a bag that won’t leak or spill the garbage. Use protective gear when removing garbage bags, and handling and disposing of trash. Use Lola Handled Scrubber Brush to disinfect and clean garbage cans and bins and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.

Knowing how to clean your surrounding is vital especially when you are not at home. Let’s say you are out on a trip by yourself and you decide to stay at an inn, hotel, or lodge. You should take note that aside from housekeeping, you must also have a cleaning routine of your own. This is to put your things in order at all times, to ensure that you won’t be surrounded or covered in filth or mess, and prevents you from being sick due to lack of proper hygiene and sanitation.

Here are some cleaning practices that you must do along with some product recommendations to make sure you are effectively cleaning.

Avoid wiping with your hands – Since disease-causing bacteria and viruses can easily spread on different surfaces, using your hands to wipe clean surfaces can put you at risk of getting sick. It also does not ensure that the surface is already clean, meaning it still can contaminate other things that it gets contact with. Therefore, out tip is to use a sanitized cleaning cloth treated with anti-microbial agents to clean the top of furniture such as table, countertop, etc. It can also be used if you want to dry your belongings such as your phone. We recommend our very own Lola Wowables™

Dust the Pillows and Bed – Aside from dust and dirt, there is also microscopic mites and insects still lurking within the sheets and other pieces of furniture around you. Therefore, it is important that you have 360° Extender Duster Set with you when going out on trips. You can easily use it together with its extendable head to dust off your bed, windows, and even furniture.

That is why cleaning them is necessary before going out and after arriving at your destination. If you want a handy cleaning tool that’s effective on leather and other types of footwear, you can count on our Eco Clean™ Bamboo Scrub Brush which is not only eco-friendly but also durable and effective.

Pick-up Dust, Food Crumbles and other Debris – When you go out or dine somewhere public, it is proper etiquette to clean just before you go. Unless you paid someone else to do it. Otherwise, you have to clean for other people’s sake or to prevent attracting insects that may bite you or carry diseases that can get you infected. Our Dust Pan And Brush Set – Clip On is a tool perfectly made to collect crumbles and other debris such as dust, stones, and even fur or hair!
