General Door Cleaning. First of all gather all tools and materials necessary for the job. This would include:
Wipe the top of the door frames to remove dust. Then using a rag, wipe all around the frame of the door. You may wipe the entire surface of a varnished wood door with oil soap using a soft rag. Wipe the door in the direction of the grain. Buff the door to remove excess soap and to dry the surface. Use a sponge to apply an all-purpose cleaner to painted doors. Wipe it dry with a soft clean rag. Use the all-purpose cleaner on the door knobs or handle. Wipe well to remove dirt and then dry. If your door has brass fixtures, use a good brass cleaner. Follow manufacturer's instructions. If your door has a glass inset or window, use a glass cleaner to make it sparkle. Do inside and out. Finish by spraying or wiping the door knob with a sanitizer (antibacterial product). 3. Cleaning of Painted Doors. With a rag dipped in soapy water, wipe all around the edges of the door beginning at the top. Use a scrub brush dipped in your cleaning solution for especially tough spots. Sponge off the cleaning solution with clean warm water. Wipe door dry using a soft, clean, highly absorbent towel. 4. Cleaning of Sliding Glass Doors.
Using the multi-purpose cleaner, spray the whole frame of the door, one section at a time. Rub to loosen soil and wipe it off as you go. Then clean the glass, inside and out. Going back to the tracks, spray a heavy coat of multi-purpose cleaner into the track and allow to set for a moment or two to let the dirt loosen. Travel an old toothbrush or the small brush and really get in the groove, running it up and down the track to dislodge dried up dirt. Wrap a cleaning rag around your fingers to get into the tight track and soak up the dirty solution and particles. You may have to stuff the rag into the track and run it back and forth a few times until it really looks clean. When you are satisfied, finish up with a quick spray of sliding track lubricant.
First, you need to get a sponge that has the scrubber on one side. Using your favourite window cleaner solution apply the cleaner onto the scrubber and scrub the outside glass. After the surface feels smooth to the touch, rinse well. Hand dry, using a soft absorbent towel. Remember, it's better to choose a windless, cloudy day for this task because sunlight and warm breezes dries the solution too quickly and you'll end up with a lot of streaks.
Take care not to get any cleansers or solvents on the wood. Wipe clean using a dry, clean, lint-free towel or cloth. Then clean the glass as mentioned above.
Do not use abrasives. Do not scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. If your cladding becomes dull, you can use a quality car cleaner and wax to restore the shine. Tile Cleaning Tips!! 1. Welcome to our Tile Cleaning Tips Page. There are different types of tiles. These are:
Tiles are used in different parts of the house. On the floors, walls, bathrooms etc, even on parts of the outside of the house and they also have lots of commercial uses. We will start with Ceramic tiles as these are widely popular in the household. Cleaning of the other types of tiles will be brought to you as we develop this site further. So without further ado let me give you our Tile Cleaning Tips! 2. Cleaning Ceramic Tiles. Before you start cleaning. Test it with a small amount of water. If the surface darkens, it absorbs water and needs to be sealed. Generally, cementitious grouts require sealing while specialty grouts like epoxy and furans do not. If the grout darkens with water, it needs a sealer. 4. Everyday Cleaning. Tile maintenance should progress from the least invasive to the extreme. Never start off with the most drastic solution to solve a cleaning situation. All tiles regardless of type should be cleaned regularly with water. Immediately wipe up spills and messes. By cleaning ceramic tiles daily with plain water (or pH balanced cleaners and soap less detergents) and drying them thoroughly with a clean towel or cloth, you will avoid any mold, mildew dirt and grime build up that will collect on it's surface. 5. Grout Cleaning. Grout holds ceramic tiles together. It is a type of glue, or actually cement and sand combined with acrylics and silicon. Grout, especially unsealed grout will collect dirt and grime and will stain easily. If your grout has stained or discoloured and the ceramic tile is dull, first of all agitate grout joints with a soft bristled brush to loosen debris. Then make a solution of 1/4 cup of mild detergent with 1 gallon of water. Take your sponge with the cleaning solution, and carefully scrub and clean the areas that are stained and dull. Thoroughly rinse, dry with a cotton towel or cleaning rag, and polish cleaned areas. 6. Heavy duty Grout Cleaning. Acidic cleaners will eventually erode the grout in the joint, making cleaning and maintenance more and more problematic. This is especially true if using acidic cleaners on sanded grout installations. This is due to the tendency of the acids to eat away the smaller aggregates first leaving the larger stain attracting aggregates in their place. An attempt should be made to solve the cleaning problem with high quality pH balanced cleaners. These can include non-staining household scouring powders or poultices manufactured for this purpose. Be sure to agitate the cleaners again with a soft bristled brush to loosen stubborn grime. A good practice is to allow the cleaner to rest on the surface for a while to take advantage of the cleaners maximum potential. If the results are not acceptable, high alkaline cleaners are the next step. These cleaners are recognized by their names like: "heavy duty" or "deep clean." On large areas, it is perfectly acceptable to use commercial buffing machines to clean tile and grout. The important consideration is the type of cleaner and the thorough rinse following the deep cleaning. If the result are not satisfactory using the PH balanced cleaners, it may be necessary to use a acidic solution to solve a particular problem. Sulfamic and phosphoric acids are the safest and most used acids used in solving tile and grout cleaning problems. These two acids have very specific mixing and application recommendations that must be followed to the letter. Regardless, thoroughly rinse the cleaned area, dry, and polish. Following an intense deep cleaning, especially if an acid was used, a good practice is to reseal the affected grout areas. Furniture Cleaning Tips!! 1. Welcome to our Furniture Cleaning Tips Page.
