Best Cleaning Tips in Sterling, VA

Clean the Exhaust Fan

If the grille on your bathroom exhaust fan is clogged with dust, try a trick that’s faster and more effective than vacuuming. Here’s how to clean a bathroom fan: Turn on the fan and blast out the dust with “canned air.” The fan will blow the dust outside. This works on the return air grilles of your central heating/cooling system too. Run the system so that the return airflow will carry the dust to the filter. You’ll find canned air at home centers and hardware stores, usually in the electrical supplies aisle.

Pet hair removal from carpets and upholstery

You may try a pet rake or a tape roller wrapped around your hand and slowly strokes along the carpet to remove the hair. Or a vacuum with a brush roll can be used for this purpose.

Old Stains

Old and dry stains are sometimes impossible to be removed. But you may try it with bacteria/enzyme digester where the bacteria may produce enough ammonia that it helps to break down the stain. You will need to neutralize the spot after the digester is there for about 4-5 hours. Mix solution contains vinegar and warm water and rinse the area with the solution.

Clean Furniture Fabric

Go through the house and strip and remake beds; neaten any pillows or furniture blankets. Brush furniture surfaces with a vacuum extension as needed.
