The house had previously been let. The tenants had disappeared in the middle of the night owing several months rent. Rather than re-let the property the owner decided to put it on the market. 12 weeks later and after 50+ viewings not a single offer had come in. The agent finally convinced the seller to get the property cleaned up, its only defect!
This is when we, Sparkle Cleaning Services were called in. Judging by what we found in the house the previous tenant had been something of a regular drinker! Much of it was still sticking to the kitchen floor! Also they were firm favourites of fried food as the cooker hob was caked in a thick layer of grease that had overflowed onto the floor and mixed with the beer! All the window frames had a nice line in mould growing on them, and most of the rooms had become an absolute haven for spiders. The bathroom was unmentionable just leave it at disgusting.
So our cleaning service team arrived on a Saturday morning 7.30am, 12 bin liners, two vacuum cleaner bags, 2 litres of descaler, 1 litre of oven cleaner, 1.5 litres of heavy duty degreaser, 3 litres of general purpose cleaner (with bactericidal agents) and 50 + cleaning clothes later we were putting the finishing touches to the property (11.15) when the estate agency arrived with a potential purchaser for a viewing.
By 12.30 apparently the sale of the property had been agreed upon for the full asking price. So the £140 was a very worthwhile investment!
Now very few houses put on the market are in that category but most could benefit from a good deep clean and who wants to do that before moving out?
Jobs For House Cleaning
Like any other cleaning solutions, organic cleaning products are made to purposely wipe out the dirt and grimes of everyday life. Stains, dust and molds are just few of these nuisances. Sometimes they stick to your clothing, equipments and other items without you even knowing how it happened.
If unnoticed or ignored, these things can encourage harmful bacterial growth which can lead to illnesses and diseases. It's at this time when cleaning products start to play a very important house role. However, not so fast in picking just any product as most of the conventional and claimed effective cleaning solutions are actually hazardous to humans and the envrionment.
Instead of making sure that your family and the planet are indeed safe, the use of un-verified cleaning solution can put them at a great health risk. With strong chemicals as active ingredients, these products can truly eliminate bacteria and germs. But then, their effects extend negatively way beyond this.
After the application or use, the chemicals within these solutions can still stay on items and surfaces as they cannot be easily dissolved. Even the disposal of them can lead to the release of added pollutants to the environment. The greater risk is that they can get inside your body by mixing with water and air which can result to serious medical conditions. Not to mention, these products cost some considerable amount of money.

This means that you must get rid of every bathroom's usual problem – molds. You can make use of vinegar as your organic cleaning product. Directly spray it on the mold then let it stay for 30 minutes to one hour. The acidity of the vinegar will kill the molds and will stop the growth of the new ones.
- Rust remover – Metal as the primary source of rust is present in almost every house part. This means that rust can develop almost anywhere. However, you can avoid further rust damage if you can immediately treat it. And what better and safer way to do it than to produce and use your own green cleaning product.
