Yes . We can use a good broom with bristles. But it should be used where it should be. If the bathroom floor is rough and rugged surfaces there will be accumulatin of even mass and the floor becomes slippery if proper wash is not taken up regularly or at least once in 2 days.

If the floor is having polished tiles with nice shining then the…

I am facing the greatest problem with the bathroom cleaning. I used baking soda and vinegar for cleaning the bathroom floor. But, the result is nil.

The bathroom is having polished tiles on the floor as well as on the walls attached. They are having light greenish in color. Small dark spots also will be looking awkward. I used bleaching powder…[Read more]

Oh…a very nice and useful information I got soon after joining this group. Thanks for the suggestion. There are many spiders in my house. I have been thinking of removing them all. I just brought a broom and postponed my activity for tomorrow as today happens to be Friday. Do you know, we do not do such things on Fridays and Tuesdays in India. I…[Read more]

Fortunately, I no longer find spiders at home for many years now. When I was a child I always saw spiders,and I was so afraid to see them .When I became big, I saw some, but then we keep our home clean using Zonrox , other times spray Quick . If I see spider this time, I surely kill it. I do not like to see its appearance especially if it is black…[Read more]

I could relate on this situation when I was still working as a custodian of a big Church in our country. Every day I had to report to the Church to inspect the building, to keep it clean and everything is in order. As a part of my duty to maintain the Church inside and outside its perimeter, I had to remove those things that posed as eye sore. And…[Read more]

I’m not sure where you live but I have heard if you plant peppermint around the area you are trying to keep free from spiders. You can also take a spray bottle and add some peppermint oil to it along with some water and spray the area you are having to deal with. You should also make sure the grass is cut short and there is no overhanging bushes…[Read more]

I have had a few geckos get into my house a few times. I was told to place mothballs around the windows and door entrances. They don’t like the smell of them. This will also help keep snakes away also. Geckos are also scared of egg shells.

This site here gives a few other suggestions on how to keep these unwanted pests at…[Read more]

I try to declutter my house at least twice a year. I try to do it more than that but it depends on my laziness. I will get rid of things that I know we no longer need. I think it’s about time to do some more decluttering soon. I am hoping to move to a smaller house the first of the new year.

@Dawnwriter  I also want to get a steam mop. I have heard great things about the Shark steam mop but I am uncertain of which kind to get. 

I hate the floors I have. My landlord decided to go cheap with the floors in my house and chose linoleum throughout the house. In every single room. So I think a steam mop would come in handy. In the b…[Read more]

I have a very  small kitchen. It’s so very small that my clothes dryer is right next to my stove. I hate when my mom washes her clothes because she does not clean the dryer or the washing machine after every use. Since we have animals, dog/cat hair gets all over my stove and I hate that. So I am constantly cleaning the kitchen behind her.

I use…[Read more]
