Q: Why would I Need A Cleaning Service?

A: You probably go through your house everyday and straighten up. Ask yourself these simple questions: Did I clean the dust and cobwebs from behind the bookcase? Did I wipe the dust off the baseboards and molding? Probably not, because most homeowners don’t think about those things when they do a regular cleaning. To a good cleaning company these things are part of their regular routine. So if you hire a cleaning company, you can rest assure that these spots and many others will be cleaned. Here at Kwik Kleen, we offer many schedules to fit your cleaning needs whether it be once a month (recommended) or once a year (this can be costly), we will work with you to keep your house clean. Not to mention a clean house is a healthy house.

A: Glass shower doors will sparkle if cleaned with white vinegar once a week.

A: Lemon oil furniture polish will remove water spots on metal frames around shower doors and enclosures.

A: Wiping up spills immediately and cleaning stovetop after each use tends to prevent grease splatters from getting baked on the next time the stove gets heated up when cooking. Baked on grease can be a particular challenge on gas stovetops where pilot lights continue to keep the surface warm and bake on splatters around burners. For quick clean up after cooking, use nonabrasive cleaner or glass cleaner. Proceed with caution if using cream type cleaners because some have tiny abrasive particles in them that can scratch surfaces.

The key to using cleaning products is to give them time to do their job. Degreasers, especially, need time to dissolve grease. There are many degreaser cleaning products available as well as appliance cleaners and polishes. The orange concentrate cleaner is used industrially for degreasing machinery and concrete. It can be used full strength or diluted for other cleaning projects around the house.

Allow degreaser to set 15 minutes before wiping. If scrubbie is used, it should be plastic, as well as any scrapers used. Repeat until all residue has been removed. Avoid use of abrasive cleaners and scrubbies. Always apply cleaner to stovetop with cleaning rag. A wet rag saturated with cleaner that is placed on top of more stubborn spots and left to set will tend to loosen baked on spills.

A: If you are reformed smoker or just moved into a residence that was owned by a smoker, you want to get rid of that smell and those nasty yellow stains from the walls. First let’s work on removing those stains from the wall. When it gets humid outside those stains not only looking ugly but they emit a low level of odor. The cheapest way to remove those stains is to use vinegar. Just add one cup of white vinegar to cups of warm water, then add a scoop of baking soda – this will fizz but it will be easy on your paint. This process is also very time consuming, so make sure this is a project you are ready to tackle. Cleaning your walls with this mixture does not guarantee that the stains will come off. It might take more than one cleaning to accomplish your goal. Even if you hire a cleaning service to do this task for you they still might not get it done with one cleaning. Which leads us to the second step: repaint your walls. Now to remove the smell from the air: Set small bowls of vinegar, pine-scented cleaner or activated charcoal around the room. If your home has young children or pets, place the bowls well out of reach. Close off the room overnight.

A: Urine smell in a bathroom is possible if only because we urinate in our bathrooms. However, to save the day I would suggest a box of soda bicarbonate in extremely hot water in every drain. Fill up everything and let her go! Worked for me when nothing else helped.

A: For quick clean-ups, clean with equal parts of water and household ammonia.
You may also try club soda. It cleans and polishes at the same time.
You can wax large appliances with car wax to make them shine and to remove small scratches.
Instead of using commercial waxes, shine with rubbing alcohol.

A: Carpet wear is mostly caused by dirt (generally unseen because it gets down in the fibers). When walked upon, the dirt granules, no matter how fine, rub against the carpet fibers, causing them to fray.
By vacuuming your carpet every day, you are ensuring a long life for your carpet, not to mention it's aesthetically pleasing!

A: Fill a small bowl with a 50-50 mixture of water and white vinegar, then set it in the oven and turn the oven on high for 5 minutes. When the mixture boils, it will remove stubborn smells inside the vents and loosen food particles on the oven walls.
Wipe down the oven walls with a clean sponge.

A: Spiders are where they are because there is food. If you remove all webs, but the food remains then spiders will move back into the area. While the spider population is lowered the other insects will increase in their population. Lots of spiders in an area mean lots of food in the area. It would probably be better to learn to make peace with the spiders as they are helping keep the bug population down.
1. Use a stick to remove the web. The size of the stick depends on the size of the crevices. For example, if you were cleaning a bicycle, use a small twig or chopstick. For the ceiling corners, use a broom.
2. Wrap the stick with something to grab the web more efficiently. Duct tape works well with brooms and such if wrapped with the sticky side facing out. Toilet paper works adequately for twigs and smaller devices. Small pine branches with lots of needles work very well.
3. Grab with the stick. Simply use the stick to grab all of the webs from a comfortable distance.
4. Throw the stick away or, if it is a broom, rinse it with a hose when you have finished to get the webs off.

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect Missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three Technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL' When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It is now shinier than it has ever been before.
