Here are the materials you'll need:


Cleaning the Living Room (15 minutes)

Step 1: Start by tidying up the room, and removing any wrappers, leftover items, and cups. 

Step 2:  For cleaning surfaces, use Surgical Spirit applied with a cloth. Spray the Surgical Spirit evenly on dusty areas, including cabinets and bookshelves, using a bottle with a trigger spray attachment.

Step 3:  To clean the floor or carpet, mix equal parts of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) and hot water for sealed wood, tile, laminate, or linoleum floors. Mop the floors with this solution, there is no need to rinse. The Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) acts as a mild disinfectant and leaves a pleasant shine. Use Talcum Powder to freshen up carpets. Sprinkle it over the carpet and allow it to infuse for 15 minutes before hoovering.

Step 4:  For sparkling windows and glass, use window and glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the surface and wipe it away immediately with a cloth for streak-free results.

Step 5:  Once the living room is tidy, create a sense of freshness by spraying air freshener evenly throughout the room.

 

Cleaning the Kitchen (15 minutes)

Step 1: Put away pots and utensils in drawers and ensure that surfaces are clear.

Step 2: Spray Surgical Spirit on the kitchen surfaces evenly and wipe with a cloth.

Step 3: For the sink and tap, use Isopropanol Alcohol 70%. Dry with a cloth.

Step 4: For streak-free windows, use window and glass cleaner. Spray it onto the surface and wipe with a cloth.

Step 5: To unclog drains, use a combination of Acetic Acid 6% and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate). Pour a liberal amount of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) into the drain, followed by Acetic Acid 6%. The reaction between these chemicals will create bubbles. Finish by pouring hot water down the drain. Repeat the process if needed.

Step 6: For stoves and vent fans, clean using a mixture of Distilled Water and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) applied with a cloth.

Step 6: Finish by spraying air freshener.

 

Cleaning the Bathroom (15 minutes)

Step 1: Begin by tidying up the bathroom, and putting toothbrushes, toothpaste, and makeup products away in jars, cabinets, or bags.

Step 2: Spray Surgical Spirit on the bathroom surfaces evenly and wipe with a cloth.

Step 3: For streak-free windows, use window and glass cleaner. Spray it onto the surface and wipe with a cloth.

Step 4: To disinfect the bath, toilet, and sink, dilute Sodium Hypochlorite 14% with three parts water and apply it as you would with normal bleach. Wear protective clothing and perform a patch test before using it.

To fully disinfect and sanitise the toilet, in the toilet bowl soak a cup of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) for an hour, then pour a cup of Acetic Acid 6% and leave it for five minutes. Flush the toilet. If needed, scrub the toilet with a toilet brush.

Step 5: To unclog drains, use a combination of Acetic Acid 6% and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate). Pour a liberal amount of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) into the drain, followed by Acetic Acid 6%. The reaction between these chemicals will create bubbles. Finish by pouring hot water down the drain. Repeat the process if needed.

Step 6: Add a final touch by spraying air freshener.

 

Cleaning the Bedroom (15 minutes)

Step 1: Make the bed and put away cups, plates, and items that take up space, such as books, magazines, and clothes.

Step 2: Spray Surgical Spirit on the bedroom surfaces evenly and wipe with a cloth.

Step 3: For streak-free windows, use our window and glass cleaner. Spray it onto the surface and wipe it with a cloth.

Step 4: To freshen up the wardrobe, place a small amount of Talcum Powder in a jar or dish and keep it in the wardrobe. The powder will help remove moisture and prevent a musty smell.

Step 5: For floor cleaning, follow the same procedure mentioned in the living room section, depending on the floor type.

Step 6: Finish by spraying air freshener.
