Here are some cleaning tips that according to Feng Shui can also bring good fortune straight into your door.

This makes our homes more expansive, vibrant, and energetic. Metaphorically, clean windows wake us up to see the world around us with the most color, clarity, and precision.

Declutter and Clear Space as Much as Possible

Feng Shui says our environment especially at home retains the energetic imprint of those that inhabit the spaces. So, it is always recommendable to spend some time burning off the old energy to welcome fresh and new chi. Spraying essential oils with water is one way to do this. But it is also important to be organized on our things. Throw away those that are not useful anymore as they motivate stagnancy. Also make sure that everything is free of dirt which attracts negative energy. Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ is a useful tool to make sure no dirt will remain on hidden corners.

Hang a Clean Mirror

For small living rooms, mirrors are said to have the capability to bring expansion by making it look and feel bigger. It is important that it is clear and owners are advised to be mindful of what the mirror is reflecting, as it doubles the energy of whatever it sees. So, it is a must to have a mirror large and clear enough for you to see your entire head, shoulders, and chest line to ensure you capture your aura. Make sure that it is always crystal-clear using Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth.

Make Way for Some Light

People who do manual labor usually work using a lot of different things meaning they also deal with some mess depending on what they do. For many of them, using makeshift rugs as cleaning cloths may seem enough to clean after themselves and their surroundings.  That’s understandable because it’s just cheap and easy to make. But they aren’t always effective in cleaning.

Their jobs are already tough and difficult and their own ways. So, cleaning should not be as stressful anymore for these skillful and passionate workers. Let’s discuss here some blue-collar jobs and affordable Lola cleaning cloth products that they may find very useful while on duty.

Let’s began with Carpenters who typically work with wood and other materials, such as fiberglass, to create and repair structures. Most of the time, they usually measure and cut different sorts of materials. They get exposed, they produce some mess, and they get themselves all sweaty. Hence, they may find Lola All Purpose Cloth useful.

On the other hand, Mechanics deal with grease, diesel, oil and grime almost every day. Thus, they can use Lola Anti-Microbial Clean N' Wipe to clean the surfaces and insides of vehicles, motors and machines that they are working on. 

While sculptor and pot makers who do their masterpiece out of wood, marble or clay, may find their hands often dirty. Knowing how important precision is for them, they must have a cleaning cloth that will give them strong and stable grip on their tools. Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth will help a lot in that case. It can be used on their tools as well as on their finished products so it won’t pick up dirt. With it, they don’t have to use any chemicals anymore that may only damage their equipment.

But that wouldn’t be so hard because Lola Cellulose Sponge Cloths are here to save the day. The Lola Swiffer® Sweeper® Compatible Dry Sweeping Cloth can be attached to a mop and used to clean tiles and floors in case of leak while the sponge cloths are great to wipe pipes.

Lola Cheesecloth can be used by itself or damp with a little baking soda for polishing. It just may return pots and pans to their original shine.

Many people are investing on make ups to make themselves look good. They think that this is the only thing they need to make a good photo.

But one will soon realize how hard it can be to concentrate and give your best to your work when everything around you is a mess. We can’t deny that success is indeed messy at times but after every step, there should be some cleaning.

Hard work will eventually pay off no matter the struggle. But it’s still better and more comforting to work with a clean environment and relax afterwards knowing that your surrounding is neat and there’s nothing for you to worry about.

The first thing that you have to do after moving into your new home except celebrating is to put everything in order which means there would be a lot of cleaning before you can finally settle comfortably in your new abode. This is something that most of us may experience but many of us are also unaware and often frustrated on where to begin.

To keep it simple, this process doesn’t have to be so complicated. However, it depends on the size of your new home, the number of furniture and belongings, and the arrangement that you wanted to make. 

Now, the tendency is after putting everything down from your previous home, the place is filled with piles and boxes. Just seeing all that will make everything feel stressful.

Worry not, because here we’ll help you with some cleaning tips that you may find useful in making your new place unlike any other.

First things first, put every box on the part of the house where their contents belong. For example, the boxes containing kitchen and cooking wares obviously should be brought directly to the kitchen while the clothes and mattresses should head straight to the bedroom. The point of this is to organize the cleaning process itself whereas you can clean your home area by area. It easier that way because you already have everything that you need to put there so there’s lesser chance of misplacing your things unless they are randomly put in your box.

Next thing you have to do is to make sure nothing has brought in dirt or dust from your previous home or from the transport vehicle. If you see boxes or crates that are dirty, you can either take them out first to remove the dust or take out its content first before putting the containers outside far from your home so they won’t spread the dirt which would only add extra work. You can use Lola Rola Sticky Mop to conveniently and quickly pick up all the dirt and prevent them from building up. 

Now it’s time to sweep and mop the floor, wipe the tables and the countertops. Lola also have Angle Brooms and mops such as the Light and Easy™ Super Cloth Mop and Flexible Dust Mop which you can use to shine your floor. Dusty countertops? No problem! Lola Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth attracts dirt and dust like a magnet.

After making sure that all surfaces are already neat, it’s now time to organize your furniture and put them where you want them to be permanently placed. Assuming that you finish all of these before the day ends, you can then give yourself some time to set up some design based on your preference.

The last thing that you would want to do is to fix the bed and put on some sheets or at least set it up for you to have a comfortable rest on your first day.

Take note that it is not mandatory to have all of these done on the first day. For some it may less than a day while for some it may take a couple of days. But, it’s still all up to you as well as on the number of help you have. As long as there’s progress on the hours you spent going around your new house, then your first day is worth it. 

Love is truly in the air, but so is dirt and dust especially if you are not doing enough cleaning in your home. This means bacteria can also easily grow and fester on walls, ceiling and floor, immediately turning your home from being filled with warmth into a house of horror. What a bad way to spend the month of February.

If home is really where the heart is, hence, it’s important that we devote ourselves in making it a wonderful place. So, here are some cleaning tips for your very own home:

Make Sure Everything Is Fresh

From the sheets, to your kitchen and cleaning supplies, it would be so good to have everything new. However, this does not mean you have to spend and impulse buy new things because simply having clean and usable equipment is enough to keep you from doing your daily routine; cleaning, preparing food, going to work, etc.

Our curtains, pillowcases, and bedsheets at home pick up a lot of dust and dirt from the outside when the windows are open or when we lay down instantly right after coming from the outside. Therefore, it is important to have them replaced or cleaned regularly.  That won’t be so hard especially using Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ which is effective against dust stuck at the edge of curtains while the Wowables can be used on wiping stains or brushing off dirt from pillow sheets in case you don’t want to change them yet. 

If you have flowers on vases at home, regularly replacing its water is important too, to avoid insects such as mosquitoes from reproducing and contaminating the water.

Bring in Some New Plants

Nothing can feel as good as being able to breath into clean and fresh air, proving that having plants inside the home is not only a fresh for the sight but also for our whole well-being. Thus, for an added freshness, why don’t you buy some new indoor plants or plant them yourself if possible. If you already have some, constantly check if there’s plants that have dried up and cut it to keep the plant fresh making your living room brighter.

Fill Every Room with Some New Cool Scents

Always clean and refill your air humidifier, try experimenting by adding some new scent to bring a fresher and cooler feeling within your room. You can also use some scent spray or scented candles for relaxation. Scented insect repellents are also available for some pleasant-smelling pest killing.

Re-Organize Furniture and Free Up Some Space.

Space is important to breath and to move around. Donate or throw away stuff that are not useful for you anymore. Clean corners and walls using the Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ which is highly effective when used to remove dust on furniture and high walls. Meanwhile, Lola Angle Broom is handy to sweep clean the floor after you have moved things around. 

Bring Out Framed Family Pictures

Family pictures bring lots of memories. They are good for display as they make us reminisce the good times. So constantly wipe them with Lola Cellulose Sponge Cloth aka "Swedish Cloths" and avoid getting them from wet so the developed photo or printed image won’t tear off or get destroyed.

Valentine’s season would surely become much sweeter and better if you have a clean home; whether you are spending this day with your family, friends, or pet, it is always better when you have a fresh surrounding where you can freely do all the things that you love.

Nothing is enjoyable as bringing home a new puppy. However, it’s not all about the cuteness because it also bears a responsibility that is almost as heavy as having your own child. Taking care of a young dog could be messy and it can easily get out of hand if you don’t give it enough attention. There’s a couple of things that you have to keep in mind now that you will be having a new member of the family; a high-maintenance one.

The first thing you should remember is the fact that your new buddy is a furry one, meaning you have to deal with the shedding of fur. This could be tough if you have a huge home and many furniture, carpet and pillows. Though your puppy may not be able to wander around that much yet, but the air is enough to carry the fur around. This is why it’s important to equip yourself with tools like Lola Rola Sticky Mop to help you collect and dispose of all the fur that works "like a vacuum without a cord" which may be harmful for those with allergies.

Next thing you have to worry about is your puppy’s potty training. You have to understand that it is not always immediate and you can’t force it on your puppy. So sometimes you have to accept and deal with small accidents as they are normal to all baby dogs. Just make sure that you have paddings and Anti Microbial Clean N' Wipe™ Cloths that you can use to clean after your dog’s mess. .

Also, as soon as they complete their vaccine, your puppy is now ready to explore the outside world and expect that on every trip outside, they may be carrying dirt with them inside your home. So, you have to do something about it. Make sure to clean their feet using Jumbo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth or brush their fur a little bit to remove any foreign objects or unnecessary things that can be unpleasant inside.

Ticks, fleas and other insects are very harmful to your pet. Failing to keep your puppy from these would give way to a lot of problems including diseases and even death. Know how you can prevent your young dog form having them as well as how you cure them in case. Better consult professionals such as a veterinarian on what to do and what products to use. More importantly, it's best to make sure that the surrounding is clean, so no pests can enter and hide within your home.

The safety and welfare of your furry friend depends on you. So, doing all these things is important to help in the growth of your puppy. It will also help keep the surrounding clean and well-maintained not only for your pet but also for you and your family.
