Cleaning your home will prolong its shelf life

Every area, surfaces, furniture and belongings in our homes, offices, supermarkets, etc have specific cleaning equipment, tools and detergent appropriate for their cleaning, to protect them from damage and prolong their shelf life. This is mainly dependent on the material that they were made from. It could be from glass, leather, wood, ceramic, concrete, fabric, etc.

In this article, you are going to learn of the different and appropriate cleaning approach for cleaning your surfaces and properties, depending on the materials they are made of.

1. Glass furniture and surfaces

Cleaning of glass surfaces, for instance, your glass windows or glass doors may seem like an easy task, until you clean and clean and those cloudy lines or streaks refuse to go away. That could be because of hard water or because you are not doing it right. If you want to have your glass surface shining without having to clean repeatedly, then you should use the right cleaning tools and procedures. When it comes to the piece of clothing to be used, not just any piece of cloth should be used. Microfiber or some wood rags are best for cleaning glassware’s and surfaces without leaving any smudge. When it comes to the water and chemicals, then you should use soft water, ammonia or vinegar, emphasis on the ‘or’. They are also already made spray bottles for cleaning glass surfaces, leaving them glossy and sparkly, when used in the right way.

2. Ceramic surfaces

Surfaces made of ceramic could be your tiled floors, your kitchen countertops or even the walls. To clean these surfaces thoroughly, a good number of cleaning tools and manpower is needed, since it covers a large area of the building. The right chemicals and detergents should be used in the right amount, to leave your tiles, tops and walls shining without any smudge. And as well, to protect these surfaces, because some chemicals and detergents damage them, thereby reducing the shelf life. Cleaning ceramic surfaces can be time consuming and energy sapping, especially if it is just a recently completed building. In this case, these surfaces are smeared with spill overs from previous works, like dry concrete or paint, and they don’t come off easily. So if you want to save your time, energy, if you want your ceramic surfaces sparkly and looking ageless, then you should consider hiring experts from a company that offers cleaning services.

3. Wooden surfaces

Anything made from wood, like your tables, chairs, bed frames, etc, is prone to easy damage, if it is not properly maintained and cared for. And this care and maintenance starts with the cleaning procedure applied. The right cleaning tools and agents should be used to clean wooden surfaces to leave them polished and as new. Coarse fabrics or tools like brushes should not be used to clean wooden surfaces. Harsh detergents or chemicals wear wooden surfaces out. It is also important to note that when the surface gets saturated with water, it decreases the shelf life as water rots wood. To clean your wooden surfaces while protecting them, you should call for the service of professional cleaners that would use the right cleaning agents and procedures.

4. Concrete/Screed surfaces

Keeping the floors and walls of a building made of concrete and screed clean requires expertise, as the walls might already be painted, and sometimes these walls get stained by dirty footprints and handprints. The right types of cleaning materials should be used to clean these surfaces, to protect the original appearance of the painted surfaces. Using the wrong tools will leave them faded and dull. Cleaning concrete and screed surfaces require mild detergents and chemicals.

5. Fabrics

You might be looking around your home now and wondering which one of the surfaces is made of fabric. Well, it is not necessarily a surface, it is the curtains and drapes for window coverings, rugs for floor coverings, couch coverings, etc, that we are talking about. These coverings take a while before they are cleaned, so it is important that they are cleaned thoroughly and with so much expertise whenever the time comes. These fabrics are made from different types of fabric materials and should be cleaned with the right tools and detergent to avoid colour bleeding, pulling of threads and lint.

6. Bottom line
