CLEANING TIP FOR THE DAY!

One of the most commonly used items in a house is one of the most dirtiest and a high traffic germ collector. Light Switches & Door K***s! They get so much action and hold onto so much dirt and germs. It's great to wash your hands but don't forget what your hands are going to touch next.

There are several ways to combat these dirt and germ spots. You should do this once a week or a least once every two weeks.

1) Use a disinfectant wipe and wipe away the dirt and germs.

2) Use a mixture of 1 part Bleach with 9 parts water. Spray a cleaning cloth and use the cloth to wipe down the door k***s and lights switches in your home.

3) Use a vinegar and cleaning cloth to wipe down these germ and dirt collecting areas.

**Remember to only spray the cloths and do not spray directly onto the light switch or door k**b.**

For cleaning disinfecting wipes; Lysol makes a nice brand that we have used in the past.

A nice cleaning vinegar we use at Bubbles & Elbow Grease is the Allen's Cleaning Vinegar. It can be purchased at AG Foods Unity. There are several other businesses in North Battleford and in Saskatoon that also carry this particular product.

Happy Cleaning from all of us at Bubbles & Elbow Grease!!

As a cleaner; I get asked advice on different products we use; type of equipment we work with and even how to take care of a difficult stain or odor. Here is one recent problem that I was approached with and some solutions that might help that I have used in the past.

SMELLY WASHING MACHINE OR LAUNDRY AREA

First thing to do is some basic trouble shooting.

1) Check the rubber seal to make sure there isn't any debris or water. (this is for front load machines.) Using a gentle cloth and a bit of bleach you can easily take care of this.
2) Check the cache tray to make sure there is no excess water or guck. (this is for front load machines.) Easily fixed by draining and wiping out with cloth and bleach.
3) The odor may not even actually be from the machine. It could be coming from the drainage hose. The water can collect causing a build up and creating mold. Again; a very easy fix. Pour 1 cup of bleach down drainage hose. Let is sit for 11 - 24 hours. Then run your machine on a spin cycle.

If you have tried these steps and the odor is still present; it is now time to address your washing machine. Here are 3 methods that I have tried that have worked.

1) Run one cycle through as a small load or rinse cycle with 1-2 cups bleach. Then repeat a second cycle using 2 cups vinegar; 1/4 cup baking soda & 1/4 cup water mixed together again; on a smaller load or rinse setting.
2) Use 3 cups of vinegar (*you can also add 1 cup lemon juice) and run washing machine on the longest cycle you have on your machine.
3) Run regular cycle with 1 cup vinegar with 1/2 cup baking soda.

Once your machine is up and smelling beautiful; I recommend the Affresh washing machine cleaning tabs. I use these frequently and this helps combat odors before they start and help with extending your washing machine life. They can be purchased in most grocery stores and other box style store.

Hope this helps! Keep watch for more usefully tips and recommendations.
