๐Ÿ”ถ *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.๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

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

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...

Series 2 - Historical exploration of our main cleaning materials

The mop is another very essential cleaning tool that is needed significantly to capture residual dust on floor surfaces after a round of sweeping and an initial dust trapping/capturing with the dust rag or napkin or duster(different terms , meaning same thing). The mop is said to be categorised into two types- wet mop and dry mop. The wet mop is known to require the involvement of a solvent (liquid) solution - consisting of ๐Ÿ’ง water and a detergent or other cleaning reagent for effective cleaning and dust absorption. Through the process of thorough rinsing or washing if very soiled and proper drying, one is able to maintain the wet mop. The wet mop head is made of mostly cloth materials or sponge material and its body frame consists of the stick handle- wooden or metallic in nature. On the other hand, the dry mop- characterized by the flat head of strings connected by a swivel (which enables a more flexible motion and reach to areas with limited access than the wet mop) It ...

It is all in the hands and eyes...

It is all in the hands and eyes! As always the very foundation of a thing is important in ensuring growth  with very strong rootedness thus ensuring far-reaching outcomes.  As a company that values detail we believe that cleaning must be executed with the mindfulness that the hands and eyes have a most significant role to play in effecting detail. We always say that what we do is important but how we do what we do is even more important.  Therefore, with  the value of detail underscoring our cleaning practices, the mindful and skillful use of ones hands guided by the eyes will yield a most satisfactory cleaning experience.This is not to say that any disability found in the hands or eyes means one would not clean effectively. No! This age of Artificial Intelligence begs to defer; yet through the conscious use of our eyes and hands, we will yield better cleaning manually or mechanically.
