🔶 *Toothbrushes- a "small but mighty" recyclable cleaning tool!*


In view of the pandemic and as we seek ways to re-organize life as it is known, we may need to practice more DIY. Yes! Professional companies like- www.cleaningnmore.com.ng, are here to proffer excellent cleaning and disinfecting services to you, but as job losses seem to be at an alarming rate, it may be advisable to cut costs.

As we re-organize and increasingly practice  DIY,  a way to cut costs will be to reuse and recycle certain items in our home space.
The toothbrush is one of such easily reusable tool. It can go from being of one's personal hygiene kit to a very versatile home cleaning tool.

So... It's simple. Just take out your toothbrush that has served you well within the cycle of 3 months.

Next thing to do is boil water. Once boiled, carefully pour water in a bowl suitable  for hot  water then dip your toothbrush in it for about 10minutes.
Once time  is up, you could pick toothbrush with a tweezer or just drain out most of the water, allow leftover to cool then handpick your brush.  Voila! You have a sterilized brush ready to clean your nooks and crannies-  window panes, sink edges, bathtub edges, grout and so on.

According to the https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.apartmenttherapy.com, you can take it a step further and alter  your toothbrush for easier cleaning by bending the plastic to your desired shape once picked from the hot boiling water. Or you could also use a lighter to warm and soften the plastic where you want to bend it.

The bend of your tooth brush is just simply for  ergonomics  as you try to reach further and scrub  out deeper crannies in your home.
Now do you see, how useful your toothbrush can be.🤩🤩

It not only helps to achieve more detailed cleaning, It is cost effective and pro-sustainable development goals (specifically UN SDG 12 goals).

🙂Share with us! Has this been useful? Have you ever reused or recycled your toothbrush?  What was the process? What was the outcome?

Bebugs...(Yikes!)

Are you aware that bed bugs (climex lectularis) and the 'tropical bed bugs' (climex hemipterus) can infest any type of human living quarters and may not only be found in housing and short duration accomodation such as hostels and hotels, but also in cinemas, buses/trucks, police cells and holding areas. These organisms are attracted by exhaled carbondioxide (CO2) and body heat and not just by dirt. They feed on blood, not waste, so in short the cleanliness of their environment has an effect on the control of bedbugsz but does not eradicate them... Be informed!

Sweep. Dust. Mop [S. D. M]

In cleaning there are many fundamentals that form our operations and enable efficiencies across board and effective productivity.Even in this Artificial intelligence era, those fundamentals can't be disregarded. Looking closely at fundamentals, we find that there are some generic and some tweaked to fit the innovativeness of the cleaning operator concerned. As a company, we have embraced the fundamentals of sweep, dust and mop as one of those that we use daily. Ofcourse we know that it may not be the case 0.09% of times within our operations yet it is more the case than not... Especially as we operate predominantly, for now, within the Tropics, when we get to a cleaning site, our cleaning operatives are encouraged to engage-always bearing in mind one of our essential fundamentals to sweep then dust then mop [99.99% of the times]. Ofcourse, we keep seeking ways to grow and improve upon our operations and so are to tweak fundamentals... As our Chief P. says, "where we are isn...

Cleaning It All...

When you are standing in a room and wondering where to begin . . . start from the top. Sounds basic, but it is a fool proof trick to cleaning well. When we are cleaning/dusting/scrubbing/etc we should always start with the top. Dust the tops of your window sills first then do the windows and finish up with the bottom or window ledge. Why? you may ask. As you clean, the dirt and dust particles are floating around and tend to float downward. So if we start from the top you will have to opportunity to 'grab' them all and get rid of them. Things to remember about Top Down Cleaning: 1) When cleaning a large space do all of the dusting first: A) Ceiling Fans and corner cob webs B) Tops of window blinds, blinds and window sills C) Tops of all other flat surfaces in room. 2) After vacuuming/cleaning furniture THEN vacuum/mop the floor 3) As you finish cleaning, put away the products you use. By the time you are finished the entire room will be done and you won...
