Whenever you want to use the bathtub, it is better to start by filling up the bottom of the bathtub with cool water before filling it up with hot water. This will avoid condensation and will be safer for kids.

Stains could be easily removed from porcelain bathtub and sink by:

Mixing hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar.
Daub this mixture over the stain and slowly scrub the stain with damp cloth.

Some of these general cleaning tips might be useful to ensure your house clean and fresh.

1. Only clean the dirty spots

To save time, energy and money, clean only the dirty spots. Sometimes it will even lengthen your stuffs’ life. For example, if you clean the carpet too often, it will make the carpet looks worn faster.

2. Clean up the mess

Unnecessary ornaments tend to be dusty easily. Only use the ornaments you really like. Store the rest in the storeroom. You could rotate them every now and then if you prefer. Just think how much time you can save by not dusting and washing them every week.

Sophie’s House Cleaning Company Customer Comments

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your cleaning staff who came to spring clean my house yesterday were absolute godsends. They surpassed all my expectations, at such a good price too. I will now consider having them come over once or twice a year (maybe more often!). It’s lovely to be able to just concentrate on the kids now, and not have to worry about all the housework (for a while anyway! )….please pass my thanks on to your cleaners, they were terrific.
