Top 5 essential house cleaning tools and gadgets - Black & Decker

The corporations of different cities like Bangalore and Delhi are trying to get the city cleaned up in time for the festival season. Diwali is nearly around the corner, and as we are all getting set to do an intensive spring cleaning of our homes in preparation, let’s stop and consider if we have all the essential cleaning tools that we would need. Here are some reasons, along with some useful cleaning tips:

Vacuum cleaner: This is one of the first cleaning gadgets you should invest in. Depending on the space you need to clean, you can decide on the type of vacuum cleaner you might need. There is a range of them available, from upright and heavy duty ones, to lighter and battery operated ones.

Steam mop: While a normal mop can also be quite efficient, there is nothing like a steam mop to clean the floors along with killing harmful bacteria. All this can be achieved with no harmful or strong smelling additives, and depending on the mop you will also get some intelligence built into it that helps you in making cleaning choices.

Dusting needs: Dusting can seem like an overwhelming task if you don’t have the right tools for it. With an efficient dusting cloth such as a microfiber one, as well as dusting mitts kept at convenient locations, you will find it a much easier task. This is one activity that needs to be scheduled regularly and not just for spring-cleaning times like this.

Wiping cloths: Surfaces like kitchen slabs or tabletops need stronger cleaning which is only achieved by good scrubbing pads. These also tend to start smelling very soon due to food waste cleaning, so make sure they are washed regularly an kept ready for whenever necessary.

 Multipurpose brushes: Cleaning tiles or the carpets, each needs a slightly different type of brush, so make sure to keep a set of them handy before entering into any elaborate cleaning exercise. Don’t forget to clean them after you’re done, and store them in an airy place once dry.

At Black & Decker, we try our best to anticipate all your cleaning needs and provide a range of gadgets and appliances for this task. Please see our website for more details:

How to make your home visitor-ready in half an hour- Black & Decker

It is great to hear news like this, where locals and tourists work together to keep the area clean. When it comes to our homes however, you mostly need to do most of the house cleaning by yourself. It may have happened even to the best housekeepers, that you hear about a friend or a business associate dropping in at short notice, and you need to get things looking squeaky clean in a short period of time. Here are some cleaning tips by which you can achieve a lot in just half an hour:

Identify the zones: The first task is to look around and figure out which areas are the ones causing the space to look cluttered or messy. One of the biggest culprits may be that coffee or center table which gathers magazines and newspapers that can turn into piles very soon.

Take 5 minutes at a time: Attack each problem area, taking not more than 5 minutes for each of them. You will be surprised once clutter like magazines is put away how much easier it is to identify what really needs to be done. The center table can look as good as new with just a good wipe once the paper clutter has been cleared up.

                                                 

Quick dusting and vacuuming:For surfaces with a lot of dust, make sure to do a final wipe. Then, use a handheld vacuum cleaner and clean all the areas like sofas and blinds where dust may have got accumulated and cannot be cleaned by wiping. Try to fit in a quick carpet cleaning too if possible.

Final step – mop floors: This needs to be done at the very end so that any dust that might have fallen onto the floor while cleaning the other surfaces can now be taken care of. Using an apparatus such as steam mop can make this task a lot faster, as the entire floor can be cleaned in just a few effective swipes.
