Preparing for moving day is more than just packing; that cleaning to do too! Here are some tricks to help make the process go more smoothly.
It's recommended to make a spot test prior to using any of the next tips.
Some of the most common scuffs and stains can be removed with everyday household items. Scuff marks on wood can be removed with a pencil eraser. You can remove wax from carpets, floors or curtains by using an absorbent cloth and a hot iron on a low setting"the wax should stick to the cloth and peel away easily.
Ink and crayon may be taken out with a toothpaste from rough floors. To take away stain you have to distribute toothpaste, wait an hour and then scrub with a towel.
The most important thing to remember when washing walls is to start at the bottom, to avoid streaks. For textured walls, a nylon sock wont leave lint behind. Always test for colour-fastness before applying cleaners. Paint spatters can be removed from most woodwork by gently rubbing them with brass cleaner. Lime scale, dried toothpaste and soap scum can be treated with an oxygen-based cleaning powder. These Oxi type cleaners can be found in almost any supermarket. Follow the directions on the package.
What about unpleasant smells? Baking soda to the rescue! Set it in the fridge or spread it all over the flooring. You should notice a noticeable difference after 24 hours. Stains can be as well removed with an activated charcoal or some vanilla extract.
Finally, never mix cleaning products; many contain ammonia or bleach, and when combined the fumes are deadly. Care should be taken when cleaning any area that has been previously treated with a different solution, because not only are some mixtures deadly, but others can react with one another and cause staining.
