One expert cleaning company on TikTok has shared some foolproof professional tips and tricks that help to make your home look brand new with minimal effort
For some, house cleaning is a satisfying and relaxing way to spend a few hours. The rise of social media has seen countless ‘cleanfluencers’ like Mrs Hinch sharing their tips online and helping people out with their home and cleaning dilemmas.
However, for others, it’s a thankless task, with many people wishing they had their own Mrs Hinch at home 24/7 to tackle the chores.
But we can learn a lot from professional cleaners on social media, even if we can’t afford to hire one. One expert from Rockstar Cleaning Crew took to TikTok to share some crucial advice that all homeowners should know if they want a clean and tidy home.
Captioning the TikTok video ‘How to clean like a professional’, the cleaning company demonstrated some simple yet valuable hacks that you can easily try out at home – and they apparently work wonders.
Thousands of people have liked and shared the informative video, with many others tagging their mates in the comments to make them aware of the tips. The clip starts with one of the cleaners heading into a house, armed with buckets of products, ready to tackle the job at hand.
How to clean your home like a pro
Clean from high to low
The first tip, which is loved by professionals, is always clean from high to low. This works for any room and any situation – the higher up you start, the more debris will fall to the ground, which you can then wipe, mop or vacuum up with ease.
This will also help to save you time, as you won’t have to go over any jobs twice.
Master the bathroom
The second tip involves everyone’s least favourite room to clean – the bathroom. The cleaner explained that once you’ve finished scrubbing the toilet, always hang the brush between the seat and the lid, allowing it to drip-dry over the water and minimise any mould.
Also in the loo, if you’re after a streak-free shine on your shower glass, you should actually give the glass cleaner a miss. There’s another combination that reportedly works even better – washing up liquid and rinse aid, which can be used to scrub glass and make it look brand new again.
And you should always do this on both sides of the glass and not just one, for the best results.
Avoid mopping mistake
Lastly, if you’ve got wooden floors at home, you’ll know that keeping them clean can be a nightmare. But according to the pro, you should never use boiling water when mopping, and instead opt for warm water from the tap.
This is because boiling water can create steam which damages wooden surfaces and even increases the risk of mould, which nobody wants to deal with.
