The Team at 1800 CLEANERS - Sydney cleaners

Sydney cleaners: how to choose the best option

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Podcasts, Sydney lifestyle /by

Finding a solid work team of Sydney cleaners to entrust with the cleaning and maintenance of your home can take a long time. Sometimes it can take years of fruitless searching until we find the right one that satisfies our needs. But if we can’t, we must take a deeper look and often confront our own expectations. The vibrant city of Sydney offers a wide variety of cleaning services, and indeed, there’s one that will meet your needs. The question is, what is a fair criteria to help choose them?

 

The most common reasons for having yet to establish a lasting relationship with a cleaning company are as follows;

  • The quality of cleaning services is inconsistent, and the performance of different and constantly changing workers may vary significantly. The cleaners’ training process is critical to achieving the same level of work and avoiding this type of inconsistency when providing the service. The well-being of the cleaners is even more crucial in ensuring a long-term placement and a years-long cleaning relationship.
  • Some of the most common customer complaints involve cleaners who arrive late, do not appear on the day of service, and perform tasks too quickly and carelessly.
  • Another complaint is that they use mops and cleaning equipment from one house to another throughout the day, causing cross-contamination and hygiene issues.
  • Although the quality of the cleaning company may be excellent, due to its lack of online exposure through reviews and word of mouth, its visibility makes it difficult to find online. So always ask friends and neighbours for recommendations. Some of the best cleaning companies have the smallest online marketing budgets.
  • Pricing is one of the factors that helps us a lot to define the quality of a company, albeit imperfectly. The balance between the quality of the service provided and the price can vary significantly depending on the company. Hence, search for those offering a guarantee based on a set and defined service list. The company may offer services at a low price, but its quality differs from the optimal one we seek. Sadly, it’s hard to achieve high quality at a low price – period.
  • Lack of communication or misunderstandings between the client and the staff about the tasks to be performed, special requests, or expectations can be a determining factor in being disappointed with the services of a cleaning company in Sydney. So, always work from a list that catalogues your expectations precisely.

With 1800 CLEANER, we have long provided cleaning services to discerning Sydney clients. We would like to share with you the secrets we have learned over the last 35 years about choosing the ideal cleaning company in Sydney that meets your requirements.

Assess your cleaning needs

  • Define what type of cleaning services best suit your needs. At 1800 CLEANER, we provide a wide and complete variety of services, including spring cleaning, end-of-lease cleaning, builder’s cleaning, regular cleaning, window cleaning, and carpet cleaning, among others; we also offer custom cleaning according to your particular needs. The key is the job list. We only ever clean with one.
  • What size and type of house do you live in? Each home is particular, and each environment may require special attention according to its use.
  • How often do you need a cleaner to visit? Some homes require an excellent annual deep clean, while others with a more active rhythm require a regular cleaning service. The critical thing to consider is how to eliminate the fine particle dust that traditional cleaning approaches tend to circulate rather than remove.
  • If environmental impact is essential, choose a cleaning company that works with eco-friendly products and practices.
  • Spend the time to research reliable cleaning companies.

Choose the right Sydney cleaner for your home

Finding a Sydney cleaning company that meets all the job requirements takes work, and we recommend you:

  • Read Google reviews and consult local forums and groups that can provide true opinions from authentic and unbiased clients. Be wary of bot reviews and always search for their worst reviews first, as they are bound to be true ones.
  • Experience is essential: companies with extensive experience in the field will guarantee a more efficient and precise service.
  • View the cleaning company’s insurance documentation to ensure that you’re covered in the case of damage or accidents during the cleaning service.

Pricing and customer service

  • Communication is fundamental when acquiring a cleaning service. A big issue is when clients expect cleaners to “intuit” their needs. Like a good marriage, we need to define precisely what we expect. Customer service should be easy to reach, straightforward and willing to resolve any questions or concerns. However, avoid creating urgency with last-minute requests, which are bound to fail, add stress and aggravation to the relationship, and initiate the alienation process. Always communicate from a settled position with space for the cleaners to respond in a considered and non-rushed fashion
  • Ensure that the company provides transparent prices according to the type of service you purchase through a detailed and transparent job list and written quote. Remember that the cheapest options will only sometimes work out, provided you have low expectations. Lofty intentions are great, but it’s the quality and consistency of the service experience that counts.

Why choose 1800 CLEANER as your Sydney cleaning company for excellence?

Like everything, quality and customer service excellence require consistent and determined improvement over time. So, the time spent in business is another key indicator. At 1800 CLEANER, we work hard to always keep our brilliant cleaners with the highest level of training and ability to perform service efficiently and reliably. We are fortunate to have a solid team with considerable experience we can trust. Our boss works side by side with us to provide a service that goes beyond conventional cleaning standards. As a company, we strive every day to ensure that our clients are properly cared for, as our online reviews attest.

We are a company with more than 35 years of experience in the field. We have the best equipment to clean your indoor environment rigorously, complemented by a strictly trained team to deliver spectacular service and an energetically healthy and clean environment.

At 1800 CLEANER, we do not clean houses conventionally. We take care of your health through non-toxic products and are committed to reducing 97% of the micro-dust found in your environment. In this way, we contribute to increasing the quality of the air you breathe inside your home, obtaining notable results and distinguishing ourselves from traditional cleaning companies.

Conclusion

Working for 1800 CLEANER gives me excellent security to have the safest and highest-quality equipment to carry out my tasks. Cleaning houses every week increases my efficiency and experience in meeting the demands of my wonderful clients. I love the feeling that they entrust their homes to my hands to make them a space that is enjoyable, welcoming, and renewed every time I visit them.

At the end of the day, our home is our refuge from the outside world. Few things are more wonderful than arriving after an active day to a clean, tidy place, which transmits the relaxation and repose we seek.

I strongly recommend that you try our services: from the first approach through our exceptional customer service to the day we enter your home, you will be happy having chosen our service.

Spring cleaning service

Get ready for spring: Sydney’s premier non-toxic spring clean service

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Podcasts, Sydney lifestyle /by

With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to consider and pre-book one of our magnificent, non-toxic spring cleaning services. An annual spring clean will benefit your home and health and give you peace of mind.

Along with dust removal, one of the primary benefits of an annual spring clean is the opportunity to declutter and organise your living space. Over a year, unnecessary items accumulate, and your home can feel stagnant. By undertaking a thorough spring clean, you can rid your home of dust and clutter, creating a more open, welcoming environment for you and your family to enjoy.

A deep clean also contributes to a healthier living environment. Dust, allergens, and other pollutants can build up in our homes over time, negatively impacting indoor air quality and potentially exacerbating allergies, respiratory issues and general disease. Professional cleaning services can target these hidden contaminants, ensuring that your home is a haven of cleanliness and hygiene.

Furthermore, a spring clean can revitalise the appearance of your home, making it a more pleasant and inviting place to spend time and, thereby, positively impacting your mood. From sparkling windows to gleaming floors, a comprehensive clean can renew your living space’s “feel appeal” and target unseen areas, helping you enjoy your home even more.

Delegating cleaning and purification tasks when hiring cleaning services is a valuable option for people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, low interest, lack of motivation and fatigue. It can be a highly positive life decision since it radically changes and purifies a house’s energy, relieving you from the burden of these tasks.

What differentiates 1800 CLEANER spring cleans?

Our non-toxic spring cleans

When you choose 1800 CLEANER for your annual spring clean in Sydney, you’re not just getting a cleaner home; you’re also getting rid of the airborne micro-dust and air pollution traditional cleaners leave behind.

Our professional expertise, advanced equipment, scientifically developed methods, and eco-friendly cleaning products ensure exceptional results that may be difficult to achieve through DIY efforts. This gives you confidence in the cleanliness and hygiene of your home and peace of mind that you’re in good hands.

With over thirty-five years of experience in the cleaning industry, our founder, Michael Sweet, has developed two spring cleans to suit your needs and budget. His expertise and commitment to providing high-quality cleaning services ensure that when you choose 1800 CLEANER, you select a trusted and experienced partner for your annual spring clean.

1800 CLEANER 21-Point Spring Clean

Our founder developed the comprehensive 21-Point Spring clean to assist families who have a loved one suffering from dust and associated allergy symptoms, including asthma, eczema, hay fever, dust mite allergy, and other related conditions. Our spring cleaning services involve the removal of fine dust, pollens, mould spores and microscopic irritants down to 30 microns in size – particles as small as 1/30th the circumference of a human hair are captured and evicted from our customers’ homes.

We remove up to 97% of these particles with antibacterial air filters, HEPA equipment and an ioniser working in unison with a professional cleaning team using a scientific method and safe all-natural cleaning products. 

1800 CLEANER Mini-Spring clean

1800 CLEANER has also developed the Mini-Spring clean to remove fine dust particles in the house for customers on a budget. HEPA filters, an ioniser, and antibacterial filters work in unison with professional Spring cleaners for the entire clean. It involves comprehensive dusting, wiping, vacuuming, and mopping of the whole house, with particular attention given to the kitchen and bathrooms. This Mini-Spring clean creates a good base from which future cleaning efforts become more efficient and effective, with the vast majority of the microscopic dust particles extracted and countless dust mites evicted. From such a clean base and absent the “dust-drop” effect, the house stays cleaner for longer and remains easier to maintain.

 

The “dust drop effect”

The ‘dust drop effect’ is a concept coined by 1800 CLEANER that refers to dust’s tendency to circulate, float, accumulate and eventually settle in living spaces over time.

This phenomenon occurs as microscopic dust particles settle on various surfaces, including floors, furniture, and shelves, leading to a continuous cycle of dust accumulation. As a result, regular cleaning becomes increasingly challenging, and dust can contribute to poor indoor air quality and potential health issues. By understanding and addressing this effect, we aim to provide a more effective and long-lasting cleaning solution for your home.

1800 CLEANER understands the impact of the ‘dust drop effect’ on home cleanliness and hygiene. By employing scientific methods and advanced cleaning techniques, they aim to disrupt this cycle by targeting and removing fine dust particles, pollen, and other irritants, thereby creating a clean base from which future cleaning efforts become more efficient and effective.

This approach not only helps maintain a cleaner living environment for an extended period but also contributes to improved indoor air quality and the overall well-being of the occupants, giving you a sense of security about the effectiveness of our process.

Our additional services to add to your spring clean

Additional services offered by 1800 CLEANER go beyond standard cleaning and provide specialised attention to specific areas of your home, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning experience.

Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning is a service offered by 1800 CLEANER to maintain a clean and healthy indoor environment. Over time, carpets can accumulate dust, dirt, and allergens, impacting the overall hygiene of your living space. The professional carpet cleaning services provided by 1800 CLEANER utilise advanced equipment and proven techniques to effectively remove embedded dirt and stains, resulting in fresh and revitalised carpets. By availing of this service, you can extend the lifespan of your carpets and contribute to a healthier indoor environment for your family.

Window cleaning

Window cleaning is another essential component of 1800 CLEANER’s additional services. Clean windows not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also allow more natural light to enter, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere. 1800 CLEANER’s window cleaning services ensure streak-free and spotless windows, offering a clear view of the outside world while maximising the influx of natural light into your living spaces.

In essence, 1800 CLEANER’s additional services cater to specific cleaning needs within your home, providing specialised solutions to ensure a comprehensive and meticulous cleaning result. Whether it’s carpet cleaning, window cleaning, or oven cleaning, these services not only enhance the cleanliness and hygiene of your home but also contribute to its overall appearance and comfort. 1800 CLEANER has tailored its additional services to maintain a clean, healthy, and inviting living environment for you and your family.

We would love to help you with your spring cleaning needs

Hiring a professional cleaning service saves time and energy, enabling you to focus on other aspects of your life while knowing that your home is in capable hands. You’ll sleep and feel better, which can also contribute to an upward spiral in other areas of your life.

Every change of season is an excellent opportunity for renewal, a fresh start and rejuvenation. Harmonise with the cycles of the seasons, grow some new abundance and treat yourself to the spring clean of your dreams.

Toxic mould at homes

Mould at home: why it appears and how to get rid of it

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle /by

The humidity and mould inside a house can harm the health of the people living there. In this article, we will discuss the reasons for mould and moisture’s appearance, their adverse effects, and essential tips to combat their presence and harmful effects effectively.

Part of our job is to remove black stains that often appear in tile joints, bathroom wall and ceiling corners, glass surfaces, cracks, and other areas prone to accumulating these marks. Remember that mould is a common organic organism that is ubiquitous in nature. And so we can never entirely eliminate it. But we can manage its harmful effects.

Mould at home and the human immune system

The little microscopic mould spores affect our health and, in great numbers, overwhelm our immune systems. Our goal is not to obsessively eliminate every blemish in our homes that could be mould but to ensure we don’t have excessive amounts that can overwhelm our immune systems. It’s not really about complete mould eradication but rather mould management.

How is mould produced?

Many studies related to the subject try to clarify the reason for the appearance of mould inside houses. Among the most important are:

– Construction failures and poor-quality construction materials

– Home maintenance, broken amenities

– Inadequate ventilation and heating equipment

– Poor indoor air quality

– Behavior of the occupants inside the homes

– Climatic factors such as rain and humidity

– Rising damp

– Underground river systems

– Excessive rain

– Lack of direct sunlight

The high humidity in the Australian environment leads to excess condensation, which often results in the spread of mould. This is particularly common in bathrooms and on glass surfaces. We usually underestimate the potential health risks associated with mould. Out of sight is not out of the body, sadly, when it comes to microscopic and hence unseen toxins – both natural and inorganic. And these things we can’t see, in this case, microscopic mould spores, can harm us.

Australian houses are highly vulnerable to relative humidity for various reasons.

• Lack of natural ventilation in basements and ceilings.

• Opening windows to cool rooms on warm, humid days.

• Buildings not adequately sealed or mechanically ventilated.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, many people spent more time indoors, leading to a more sedentary indoor lifestyle. As such, the quality of the indoor air is more crucial than ever.

Adverse health effects

Australia has one of the highest rates of asthma in the world, with one in nine Australians experiencing asthma symptoms. It has been proven that factors such as humidity, mould, dust mites, and poor indoor air quality can significantly impact health, leading to respiratory issues, allergies, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rhino-conjunctivitis and other diseases in children and adults. Additionally, these factors can also contribute to depressive symptoms, sadness, and pain. Even more subtle but painful occurrences like headaches, fatigue, itchy eyes and runny noses can result from mould.

How to manage house mould

We acknowledge that climatic, structural, and mechanical factors are key determinants for spreading mould and dust mites at home, but the residents play a crucial role in preventing their proliferation. Diligent and mindful cleaning significantly reduces the presence of mould in homes. But special attention must be given to ensuring your vacuum cleaner can catch these tiny spores through its filter system, meaning a HEPA-grade vacuum cleaner at the least.

Below, we provide some tips for you to consider and implement when dealing with this issue in various areas:

– Regularly clean all areas of the home by vacuuming (HEPA grade), dusting, washing, and wiping exposed areas, with special attention given to bathrooms and kitchens.

– Use natural cleaning products and avoid bleach, as it does not directly kill all germs, allowing them to reappear. Also, the toxins in certain products can be as harmful as and even worse than the organic toxins we are trying to combat.

– Ensure sufficient light by opening curtains and blinds to let sunlight in.

– Keep the exhaust fan on in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements to eliminate steam.

– Use moisture absorbers in basements, closets, or areas without proper ventilation.

– Always keep your windows and cupboards clean and dry.

Keep in mind that leaks in pipes, especially in closed spaces, indoor plants that require regular watering, and fish tanks, can contribute to mould growth.

1800 CLEANER is a company that specializes in treating and eliminating mould in homes. Our highly trained team, equipped with special tools, is ready to help you combat mould in your home. Don’t hesitate to contact us to transform your home into a mould-free environment, allowing you to live in a pleasant and healthy space. To live your life to the fullest.

What are the benefits of deep cleaning?

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle /by

This article aims to inform homeowners about the benefits of deep cleaning for a healthier living environment and a more orderly and peaceful life.

Conducting a deep clean at least once a year is vitally important for the health of your home and mental well-being. A house that looks orderly and clean, with everything in its place, creates a nice image. However, all that glitters is not gold, and the surface appearance is not always what counts. Hidden dust can frustrate future cleaning efforts and make the home’s health and general vibe harder to live with.

Deep cleaning goes beyond conventional superficial surface cleaning. The ultimate objective is to eliminate fine dust particles and, in this way, transform your home into a dust-free environment. This approach generates multiple benefits for your health. Among them:

An imminent improvement in the quality of the air you breathe.

It is notable and palpable that our clients experience a feeling of freshness and renewal every time they enter their homes. This phenomenon is most pronounced after a deep cleaning service performed by 1800 CLEANER. We clean air conditioning filters, move furniture, and use ladders to remove hidden dust. This unseen dust hides in the most difficult-to-access spaces and leaks out. Our team follows a scientific method and an extensive cleaning approach, synchronised with the help of negative ions and HEPA Air Filters throughout the day. This approach allows us to remove up to 97% of micro-dust particles down to 30 microns in size. This is infinitesimally small and captures the excess of micro-particles, pollutants, allergens and irritants that bombard our immune systems in our homes and can exacerbate and even cause health issues.

Reduction of the spread of allergens and irritability.

Let’s consider a typical scenario: the dust we encounter daily is contaminated with dust mite fecal particles and cast skins. Insufficient hygiene and living with too much dust can lead to severe allergy symptoms, such as asthma, sneezing, and watery eyes. However, a professionally executed deep clean can eliminate a significant portion of this harmful dust, improving air quality and reducing these health issues. Imagine waking up without sneezing fits or being able to breathe easier due to cleaner air. These are the tangible benefits of deep cleaning.

A well done deep cleaning generates multiple benefits for your health.

Prevents the appearance and spread of mould.

Deep cleaning reduces moisture and organic matter that can contribute to the growth of mould and mildew and also draws more mould spores out of the environment. Addressing these issues regularly can prevent potential health hazards and maintain a healthier living environment.

Contributes to the order and revitalisation of spaces.

Through decluttering, environments are transformed into minimalist spaces with more potential for use and walkability. It also eases the mind to live in an orderly, clear space. The problem with clutter is that it allows dust to congregate, generates large clouds of indoor dust, and blocks spaces. After deep cleaning, the environment is transformed into an enjoyable, livable, fresh, and inviting space.

Enhanced mental well-being.

This is the aspect we are most passionate about. We want to underline the significant role deep cleaning can play in enhancing our quality of life. A well-organised home helps to ward off feelings of depression, distraction, and lethargy, and aids in establishing focus and improving concentration. Refreshed and rejuvenated spaces contribute to enhancing the quality of our activities within our home. The feeling of tranquillity and relaxation is unparalleled when the environment is conducive to good health, with transparent and open spaces in good, clean conditions.

Our service is backed by a team of highly trained professionals adept at delivering spectacular results using advanced and scientific cleaning methods and a cleaning process that took over 35 years to perfect. These are not empty promises but iron-clad guarantees. The team at 1800 CLEANER know how to transform your home into a clean, refreshed, and easy-to-maintain space through a deep spring clean with micro-dust extraction. We only use non-toxic products and the latest equipment to eliminate 97% of the dust surrounding you, leaving your home healthier and far more supportive of an orderly, peaceful and joyous life.

How to live dust-free in Sydney

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle /by

Do you ever think about dust? What about air pollution? Living in a busy and vibrant city like Sydney, we sometimes neglect other aspects of our daily lives that are important to improving our quality of life, like having a healthy, dust-free home. When we think about air pollution, we rarely consider the indoor air pollution in the area where we spend most of our lives – our homes.

At 1800 CLEANER, when we talk about dust-free cleaning challenges, we refer to small habits of order and cleanliness that can transform our quality of life. We primarily focus on your indoor air quality and your dream of living in a dust-free house.

1800 CLEANER understands the problem of how hard it is to remove fine particle dust well. Further, we know how to tackle those spaces in our homes that we may not pay enough attention to when cleaning ourselves. Therefore, these dirty corners become spaces that accumulate dust, clutter, and stagnant energy. After a considerable amount of time without cleaning and tidying these spaces, micro-biotoxins can accumulate and begin to cause damage to our health. This article details the adverse effects on our health if we live in an unhealthy environment.

Top five dust-free cleaning challenges we must overcome to keep our homes impeccable all year round:

High-traffic areas

The busiest spaces in houses, such as entrances, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms, can collect significant amounts of dust, hair, and other particles that we bring in from the outside and the dust we can generate ourselves.

Our advice is to always try to keep these spaces tidy and clear, carry out regular dusting at least once a week, and vacuum to avoid the accumulation of hair, dust, and other particles that may settle there. Accept that much of the dust will float with traditional cleaning approaches. Therefore, consider closing all windows and doors and letting the dust settle before collecting it with a damp microfibre cloth. Then, after this, commence your cleaning routine.

Furniture

The furniture we have at home can provide challenges to our cleaning efforts. Under and behind furniture creates spaces that are very susceptible to the accumulation of dust. Places we use to store our clothes and shoes or those that we do not use regularly but serve as storage to store things that do not accompany us in everyday life present separate challenges. In a nutshell, the more stuff we have, the more places the dust can hide. So open and easy-to-clean spaces are essential.

Pay close attention to these spaces. Let’s always try to keep them organised in the most minimalist way possible and pay special attention to the high surfaces that are difficult to reach above, below and behind. Remember that the more minimalistic the spaces we live in, the better our ability to clean them regularly. With regular dusting and a microfiber cloth moistened with non-toxic cleaning products, we can reduce the accumulation of dust.

dust-free living

The challenges to living dust-free in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs by 1800 CLEANER

Mould and mildew in humid areas

Damp areas in the home, such as bathrooms and basements, especially if they do not have proper ventilation, are prone to mould and mildew growth. If we can’t achieve access to ventilation, let’s keep those areas as orderly as possible without excessive clutter accumulation. A dehumidifier can help extract excess air moisture, denuding these biotoxins of their sustenance and inhibiting their growth. Let’s pay special attention to regular cleaning with eco-friendly products.

Clutter accumulation

Keeping our belongings in order and in the right place is essential. The accumulation of objects and belongings on surfaces is not a good idea since, in this way, we tend to accumulate dust on them. These surfaces quickly turn ugly, and we avoid cleaning them well. And so the dream of a dust-free house further eludes us.

They end up generating a breeding ground for germs and micro-nasties that contribute to affecting our health. Let’s pay close attention to unnecessary objects like decorations and picture frames and ensure you can get behind the TVs and tidy router cables, dusting behind and under the furniture. These items make us hesitant to clean thoroughly, and there’s no point in having excessive decorations if they’re dirty and untidy. It defeats the purpose.

As a top dust-free cleaning challenge, let’s always try to have a house that is as minimalist as possible. Let’s reorganise the spaces and keep the things that are not helpful now in boxes. We can then archive them in a cool and safe place outside of the home. If this is impossible, put them in clear plastic stackable clutter boxes. These can then be stacked against a wall for easy moving and cleaning behind and above. In this way, we can have better control and clean more comfortably with the help of a duster, damp microfiber cloths and HEPA-grade vacuum.

Rugs and carpets cleaning

Many homes tend to have carpeted rooms. The use of rugs in rooms is also widespread. Our dust-free cleaning challenge promotes the idea that in bedrooms, try first to avoid having an excess of furniture pieces so they become inaccessible to be cleaned underneath and behind since, in general, these are the areas that accumulate the most hair, dirt, and dust. Let’s vacuum regularly in all corners of the room, under and behind the furniture and beds. We can move rugs, air them outside and vacuum them regularly.

Adopting these small, manageable habits can help with the unique challenges of cleaning at home. 1800 CLEANER is a residential cleaning company that has developed a distinctive and specialised cleaning technique with dedicated and trained cleaners and state-of-the-art cleaning equipment that captures more physical debris and airborne dust, dramatically reducing microscopic contaminant levels in your home and workplace.

Maintain a spotless home with the help of Sydney’s leading cleaning company

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle, Uncategorised /by

In today’s busy world, keeping a clean and healthy home can be tough. We’re all juggling work, family, and social life, which means house cleaning often gets pushed aside.

Having a clean home is more than just about looking good. It’s a key part of staying healthy and feeling at peace. Your home is where you make memories, relax, and feel safe.

The importance of using Sydney house cleaning services

The significance of professional cleaning extends far beyond mere aesthetic appeal; it is vital for maintaining both physical health and mental well-being. Homes are prone to the accumulation of dust, allergens, and bacteria, which can have detrimental effects on health, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions. Professional cleaning services offer a comprehensive approach to home cleanliness, addressing these concerns effectively.

  •  Health and Comfort

Professional cleaners go beyond surface-level tidiness. They employ deep cleaning techniques that target and eliminate harmful allergens and bacteria. This thorough cleaning is essential for creating a healthier living environment, particularly beneficial for homes with young children, elderly inhabitants, or people with sensitive health conditions.

  • Psychological Benefits

A clean and organised home environment has a profound impact on mental health. Clutter and disorder can contribute to stress and anxiety. In contrast, a professionally cleaned and well-maintained space promotes a sense of order and tranquillity, fostering a more peaceful and stress-free living environment.

  • Time-Saving and Efficiency

In today’s fast-paced world, time is a valuable resource. Professional cleaning saves significant time and effort that might otherwise be spent on cleaning tasks. With specialised skills and equipment, professional cleaners achieve more thorough and efficient cleaning results, freeing up personal time for work, leisure, and family activities.

Man dusting providing domestic house cleaning in Sydney

Dusty places at home worth paying attention to

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle, Uncategorised /by

Our home is our refuge, our temple. It is where we sleep, eat, love, wash, and share with our friends, and for many these days, where we work. But we need to realize that a significant amount of hidden dust is found in hidden places that we generally don’t see or pay much attention to. And that dust “leaks out” into the living environment, causing a host of issues. Dust is harmful to our general health and mental well-being. Only expert dust-focused cleaners like 1800 CLEANER list and focus on those spots we must consider when cleaning this hidden dust that cannot be readily seen. You can fix your dusty home by paying attention to the list we outline below.

  • Clean your Airconditioning filters

Air conditioners are generally hung on the walls; we must always remember to clean them and the dust that accumulates above and inside of them. This dust is impossible to detect from ground level. But the most important thing to consider is that the filters inside them are the number one dust collectors in your home, and it is essential to keep them clean and clean them regularly. They are metaphorically the lungs of your home.

  • Clean and dust ceiling fans

One of the most significant dust accumulators is the ceiling fans. With the help of the ladder, let’s clean each of its fins well. Remember that if you’ve never cleaned them, using the duster is not enough: using a damp microfiber cloth and a multipurpose product to remove the gunk stuck to their edges is key. Warm water and a scourer work best for really stubborn stains.

  • Clean and dust lamp shades

With a damp microfiber cloth and a multipurpose product, let’s clean our lamp shades well to keep them dust-free. Start with dusting, lightly at first, then progress to a proper moist microfibre wipedown.

  • Clean and dust bookshelves

Our libraries are an accumulation of books and objects stored for ages. How to clean away this annoying dust? Also, clean the sides, top, and back of your bookshelves with a damp microfiber cloth – this one is time-consuming but oh-so-satisfying.

  • Remove the dust from your frames: all of them

The frames of artwork, windows, beds, and doors are great dust receivers and go unnoticed. After using our duster, with a damp cloth, let’s clean that old dust that remains stuck on these intricate landing surfaces. They will look much brighter and more beautiful.

  • Skirting boards.

Skirting boards are permanent dust collectors and are a major eyesore in a dusty home. Let’s use our dusters regularly to keep them clean and intermittently a deeper clean with a damp microfiber cloth.

  • Make sure to clean the dust under your bed

Sometimes, we use the space under our beds to store boxes, suitcases, or anything we like but rarely use. Considering that our room is a space for daily use, this space becomes the perfect place to accumulate lint and dust. The problem is that it accumulates in significant quantities under there, and we don’t see it. Really go after this dust as it lives so close to where you sleep and is harmful to your health. Use your duster to agitate that hidden dust and then, with your HEPA vacuum, remove it from your sight and sinuses.

  • Carpets and rugs

Our dusty home gets dustier even quicker if we have a pet. Use your vacuum regularly and vacuum your carpet from end to end, especially in corners and edges, which are the areas where the most significant dust deposits occur. And go in two different directions to agitate the pile.

  • Top of the fridge

Some surfaces are difficult to reach, and the space where we put dishes and other kitchen objects is crucial – above the fridge. Get on a chair and clean the top of your fridge with a damp microfiber cloth and a multipurpose product. Clean the sides and underneath with your duster, shaking the dust and then collecting it with your vacuum.

  • Indoor plants

We love plants; they give life to any space where we place them, but remember that their leaves (full of pores), huge ones, are dust receptors. With a damp cloth, let’s clean its upper and lower parts.

  • Clean your blinds and curtains.

When you shake your curtains, you will be impressed by how much dust they accumulate. Please do this weekly to avoid dust accumulation on its entire surface. If, instead, we use blinds, we use our duster and then clean the dust with a microfiber cloth on all our blinds and their frames.

The tips described are a great help, but remember that a specialized dust cleaner with the proper equipment will know how to solve this issue most efficiently. Enjoy your dust-free life.

COVID-19 cleaning tips from the experts

Cleaning tips during COVID-19

As a cleaning company, we have witnessed an increase in customers requesting help with cleaning advice due to the coronavirus. We can help some customers directly by providing a cleaning service for their needs; others are simply seeking guidance in these unprecedented times.

The first thing to say is that whilst ensuring your living environment is pristine and healthy is prudent, we live in a world of germs and bacteria, and it is impossible to live without them. In fact, modern man has evolved to be his and her magnificent self because of the microscopic arms race we have faced from time immemorial, even before we crawled out of the primordial swamp. We have grown strong as a species not by avoiding danger entirely but by learning to deal with and live with it. Our immune systems are our most potent defence against microscopic invaders of all types, including the virus that has the world so enthralled at this unprecedented time – Covid 19.

The advice that follows will help keep your home and work environment clean and healthy. We also give you some thoughts on how to protect your immune system so that if the virus does come your way, you’re in the best shape to deal with it. Indeed, prevention is better than cure, so let’s start here.

Cleaning for Covid-19

If you use a professional cleaning service, the first thing to consider is avoiding cross-contamination. That means you need to ensure your cleaners bring fresh cloths and cleaning materials into your home every time they clean. You do not want them using the same mop on your kitchen floors as they used on the neighbours’ bathroom tiles. Those shaggy mops are the worst. The same goes for the cleaning cloths they use. Some services use the same microfibre cleaning cloths all day long from one client’s home to the next, and you need to use an eagle eye to watch out for this.

De-cluttering and Organising Cleaning Service Sydney

No need to complicate things. Keep it simple.

What’s the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?

Cleaning means physically removing germs (viruses and bacteria), grime, dirt, body fats, etc., from surfaces. This involves using a detergent and water solution. Typically, you would be using a surfactant that breaks up grease and oil with water. It is far preferable to use a non-toxic product, such as a quality citrus-acid-based product like the one we use, ecoLove. This process will largely remove the germs and bacteria in this gunk.

Disinfecting means using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. If you are cleaning yourself, the first move is to get everything clean of surface grease and grime. This means using a surface detergent-based cleaning product (as described above) to cut down and break up oil and grease. Then, when you have the surface in good condition, you can use a disinfectant.

Disinfectants kill germs, but it is not always possible to remove every germ.

The former (surfactant) can be toxin-free, but in most cases, the disinfectant will contain alcohol, bleach, and/or quaternary compounds. It’s important to dilute these products as per the instructions and to wear a face mask and gloves when using them. We also advise washing the surface again with clean water and wiping it dry to ensure you don’t leave excessive toxins behind. Make certain to wash your hands thoroughly after use as well.

What should I be disinfecting?

Any surfaces that are touched frequently should be disinfected. These will include tabletops, door handles, light switches, desktops, keyboards, TV remotes, kitchen surfaces, kitchen handles, etc. Any surfaces that visually look particularly soiled should be cleaned first and disinfected second. Those things that multiple people use should be paid close attention to, such as EFTPOS machines, shopping trolleys, toilet door handles, etc. Additionally, surfaces should be dry-wiped, including when you mop the floors. Excessive water will spread germs and viruses through water droplets and be a slip-and-fall hazard. We use flat, replaceable microfibre mop heads to achieve this. We always dry the floor with a fresh, dry microfibre mop head after it has been washed with warm water.

How our bodies can fight Covid-19

Cleaners with good energy are a boon, and once you’ve found one, treat them well

Numerous factors impact our immune system, and we should look deeply into these and understand the power of our bodies to protect our beings. The first thing is to acknowledge the role of fear and to avoid it. Truly, there is nothing to fear but the fear of fear itself. Unfortunately, the media pumps up the fear to sell more advertising. It’s a good idea to be conscious of this and to work on ways to counter it. One idea is to try to be aware of the increased levels of anxiety you experience when watching certain programmes on TV and maybe try to avoid these.

Above, we outlined how to clean your house. For specific cleaning techniques, you can view the videos on our youtube channel: www.youtube.com/1800cleaner.com.au/and read the specific articles provided on our site as well. Hopefully, you’ll leave with more than just cleaning knowledge and advice.

As our company celebrates its 38,000th odd clean, one of the most remarkable things we have witnessed throughout this time is how rarely our cleaners get sick. Daily exposure to all the indoor nasties that live in our clients’ homes seems to increase the power of our cleaners’ immune systems, specifically their antibodies, which rise to the challenge. We appreciate the importance of cleaning during this plandemic but want to assure people that everything will be alright. Your body is an amazing and miraculous marvel. Just as we do everything we can each flu season to avoid the cold and flu, we should also take precautions here. Mankind has survived all types of things throughout our long, meandering history, and in the context of these current times, this latest epoch is something we can handle.

How big is the Coronavirus?

When it comes to the coronavirus specifically, this is what the Encyclopaedia Brittanica has to teach us;

Most viruses vary in diameter from 20 nanometres (nm; 0.0000008 inch) to 250–400 nm; the largest, however, measure about 500 nm in diameter and are about 700–1,000 nm long. Only the largest and most complex viruses can be seen under the light microscope at the highest resolution.

To say that these things are tiny is an understatement. This particular virus is purported to be anywhere from 60 to 140nm in size. That’s intensely small, so completely avoiding such a tiny thing with a face mask is not possible. A mask will offer protection from direct contact with water droplets carrying any virus. It’s reasonable to expect that these commonly used masks won’t stop the penetration of such a small virus once it is airborne.

Our experiences with face masks

Our cleaners have used these masks for years whenever we clean excessively dusty homes to avoid the thick clouds of dust and pollutants we disturb from entering our systems. They work for this goal mainly, but we still feel the effects of the really tiny particles that make their way past the masks when we clean. Sometimes, we can feel the effects for hours afterwards as our bodies expel the inhaled nasties. With a big healthy meal and a good night’s sleep, we usually are fighting fit again the next morning. Our cleaners are exposed to more contaminants regularly than the average person. As a result, our immune systems are perpetually ready for action.

The best thing the average householder can do is to keep their home clean and dust-free and to specifically disinfect common touch-points in the home and learn everything there is to know about supporting your immune system. You need a plan to deal with the dust, and the articles here will help: https://1800cleaner.com.au/how-covid-can-hurt-us/

Simple steps to boost our immune system

Mother001

Always look on the bright side of life, get a good night’s sleep and take good care of yourself

High temperatures and particularly ultraviolet light seem useful in killing the virus.

Get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. These also boost our immune systems. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fresh water. Try to avoid anything negative or of a scary nature. The fear can have a negative impact on our stress hormone levels, our ability to sleep and again on our immune systems. It seems lots of hugs are good for boosting our immune systems, but use your discretion with that. We advocate for the removal of excessive dust from your home. We also believe that using negative ions can positively impact your health, so getting an ioniser and antibacterial air filter is a good idea. Regular washing of our hands has always been and will always be a great idea.

Always look for the silver lining

Boosting the immune system is not rocket science. It is actually timeless logic that our grandparents and forebears often lived instinctively by. Hopefully, they tried to teach us this wisdom before this modern age of mass media consumption. Go to bed nice and early. Exercise, even just a little each day. Eat good food. Drink water. Avoid sugar and alcohol. Take a bath if you can. Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for caring for. Choose to be around positive people and energies, and avoid negative energies.

De-clutter to make your house a haven. Some things are outside of our control, and some things we can control. Let’s focus our energy on only those things we can control, and chief amongst them are cleaning and our immune systems.
