Karcher Provides Christmas Cleaning Tips

Christmas is looming, with only several weeks to get your home spotless before guests arrive! Global cleaning experts, Karcher, have a few tips for those wanting to get their homes spic and span. When it comes to thorough cleaning, allow enough time and decide in advance what you want clean. Save time by cleaning in a systematic way.

Ideally you should focus on one room at a time. Generally, things are cleaned from top to bottom in the following order: first dust off all surfaces such as cupboards, tables, windowsills and plants. The second step is to vacuum upholstery and furniture. Leave your floor cleaning until last.

Your oven may be left neglected throughout the year, but Christmas sees it become the centre of attention. Grease and encrusted food residues in the oven often require time-consuming scrubbing. Steam cleaners offer a chemical-free alternative to oven cleaning. The powerful combination of pressure and heat dissolves dirt, and a round brush removes even stubborn encrustations without damaging the surface. The dissolved dirt can then be removed with a cloth. Another advantage is that only water is required for steam cleaning, meaning that detergents can be left in the cupboard.

Following the cooler months, cleaning windows is recommended so the sun can find its way into your home. Ensure no liquid stays on the glass after cleaning, since this can result in unsightly smears. Fast, streak-free results can also be achieved with a Window Vac. This lightweight and efficient hand-held machine cleans windows in a flash and the dirty water ends up in the tank rather than on the floor, thanks to the handy suction function.

A Kiwi Christmas is often enjoyed outside so make sure your outdoor furniture is clean using water and dishwashing detergent in order to remove dirt and dust. Save time and energy with a Karcher water blaster. The additional use of a detergent that has a gentle effect on the surface is also recommended.
