WHY IS UPHOLSTERY CLEANING ESSENTIAL?

why is upholstery cleaning essential?

From waking up in the morning to sleeping at night, we are in constant contact with our furniture. From sitting on a sofa sipping some afternoon tea to dining on the dinner table with family and friends, in one way or another we are regularly using our furniture for some activity in our home. As such, it is very important to keep your upholstery clean.

Below, we have listed some of the reasons why it is important to keep your upholstery clean:

INCREASES THE LIFE OF YOUR FURNITURE:-

Due to the weather in our region, Dubai, our furniture is constantly exposed to humidity and dust that tends to compromise our furniture’s integrity i.e. increases wear and tear of our furniture. A regularly cleaned/well-maintained furniture will help improve the shelf life of our furniture, which can in turn help in saving the cost of replacing or fixing a damaged sofa.

BETTER HEALTH:-

While eating some snacks, we might drop some food bits in the corner of a sofa without realizing it. This can lead to some fungal growth if left unattended. Harmful bacteria can also buildup in your mattress as we shed dead skin cells while sleeping, these cells can then seep through into the pores of the mattress. Both, these bacterial and fungal growth, are harmful to us as they can cause skin, breathing and other health complications. It is essential to regularly clean your furniture to avoid any potential health hazards.

APPEARANCE:-

No matter how clean your home is, stains on your sofa and/or carpet can ruin the presentation of your home. By hiring professionals to clean your furniture, you can restore your furniture to its original looks and in the process make your space look clean and beautiful!

ELIMINATE BAD SMELL:-

Humidity can cause mold and germs to buildup that can then lead to foul smell in the furniture which if ignored can lead to foul smell in the whole room. Steam cleaning and shampooing your upholstery can get rid of the germs and mold and give your furniture that fresh smell! We recommend you to clean your furniture every 6 months to make sure there is no mold build up.

WHY WATER TANK CLEANING IS IMPORTANT?

why is it essential to get your water tank cleaned?

We all know the importance of clean and hygienic water. Be it for drinking, washing, agriculture, or any other purpose, water is the life of all the living beings here. While it is true that water replenishes us, removes toxins from the body, and helps us in uncountable ways, but at the same time, a lot of diseases are also caused if one consumes water in its impure form.

A water reservoir, at all times, is prone to germs and bacteria. It is essential to keep the water reservoir clean so that safe and healthy water is ensured at all times. Following are the benefits of water tank cleaning:

WATER TANK IS THE OPTIMUM MEDIA FOR GERM GROWTH:-

It is a fact that water is the best platform for germs and bacteria to grow and multiply. Water from a dirty water tank can cause various kinds of diseases like dysentery, cholera, gastro, and several other illnesses that may be fatal too. If the water tank is not cleaned frequently, they can get polluted very easily, thus making the water unsafe for consumption.

GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN & HAIR:-

Clean water is not only essential for your internal organs but also for your external self as well. When you take a shower, your skin absorbs all the chemicals that it is exposed to. Any harmful chemical or substance in the water can cause irritation or permanent damage to your skin & hair.

NO MORE FOUL SMELL IN THE WATER:-

The dirty water tank may cause the water in your tap to smell bad. The foul smell is an indicator that your water is polluted, and the tank needs cleaning. If you are facing a similar situation, call a professional water tank cleaning company in Dubai right away!

WATER FILTER MAY NOT GUARANTEE 100% CLEANLINESS:-

Despite using water filtration units, you may not be able to eliminate 100% of all germs and bacteria found in your water tank. Therefore, it is essential to get your water tank cleaned from the inside by professionals at least twice every year.

DIRT CAN ADD UP IF NOT CLEANED REGULARLY:-

The water tank can catch dirt very easily due to the humidity. Regular cleaning o the water tank prevents the buildup of dirt and impurities, which can cause harm to you and your family. It also decreases the risk of building up of sediments and silt and reduces the risk of tank corrosion & damage to the structure.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR MARBLE COUNTERTOP

how to maintain your marble countertop

Delicious food requires lots of spices and concoctions to prepare. After the food, all we are left with are dirty utensils and a dirty countertop! While a dishwasher easily cleans away your dirty utensils, cleaning a stain off the marble countertop is not that easy!

Marble is a risky stone, and we do not suggest to clean your marble at home with at-home tips and tricks, as it can put a stain on your marble forever. We can’t use an all-purpose cleaner, or vinegar, lemon juice, or baking soda either, to clean the countertop. Therefore, we highly recommended getting your marble countertop clean & polished by professionals only.

The best way to preserve your marble at home is by cleaning it with just water and a piece of cloth. You cannot add in harsh cleaners, or lemon or baking soda to add shine to it or remove any stains. This could add to the damage done to your marble. However, it is recommended to get your marble clean by any professional marble polishing company in Dubai.

Buffing is a crystallization process, which increases the life of the marble. It brings a mirror-like shine to the marble because of the chemicals that we use.

MARBLE FLOOR SEALING:-

It is the last step, in which all the work and the shine is sealed on to the marble. It prevents the marble from any damage, cracks, or chips in the future. It also seals any open pores on the marble surface and prevents water penetration into the marble. It is essential to apply a sealant and get it resealed at least once every year.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR AC UNITS AND DUCT CLEANING DURING THE WINTERS?

These can lead to many allergies and serious illnesses. Therefore, it is always recommended to get your AC ducts cleaned by professionals every once in a while.

AC COIL CLEANING:

An indoor AC coil is the main element that gives out cold air into your room. You need to make sure to clean them regularly to avoid any cooling issues later on.

Tips and Tricks to Home Sanitization

TIPS AND TRICKS TO HOME SANITIZATION

2020 is very different from all the years that we have seen in the past. Working became work from home; school is no more about blackboard and recess time, but online classes and assignments. Travelling has been limited from one room to another.

While we are staying at home, why don’t we take the appropriate preventive measures to keep individuals safe? Here are a few tips and tricks to home sanitization which you can use to keep yourself and your family safe!

Wash your hands

Your hands are most of the time prone to be attacked by germs and bacteria. Studies suggest that washing your hands for 20 seconds can remove all the germs and bacteria that are likely to be present on your hands.

Apart from normal cleaning with water and soap, you can also use sanitizers or wipes to clean your hand.

Sanitize your clothes

As much as your hands are likely to attract germs, your clothes may also be a breeding ground for them. You should wash and sanitize your clothes separately every time you walk in the home from outside.

Sanitize your gadgets and other electronic appliances and machines

Our daily life revolves around gadgets. We use cell phones, watch TV, switch on lights, and fans, and so much more on a regular basis! A recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phone! That is 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats!

Fret not! You can kill these bacteria by just using a tiny drop of sanitizer and tissue paper! Put a drop of sanitizer on your cell phone, TV remote, car keys, or any other gadget, and wipe it off and clean it with a tissue paper!

Clean every surface

Bacteria stay alive on steel and other hard surfaces for more than 24 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the surfaces with a disinfectant every day. Disinfecting wipes can be used to clean door handles, bathroom countertops, sink and shower faucets, toilet flushers, and more, killing 99.9 percent of germs that can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours.

Call PRIMO for deep cleaning and Disinfection.

The easier and the most effective tip are to call Primo Cleaning and Maintenance Services for their home sanitization and deep cleaning services! They use various techniques like fogging, steam cleaning, and usage to DHA approved chemicals to clean your home. They disinfect your washroom, kitchen, living room, and clean your AC duct in the most efficient manner!

Cleaning the bathtub like a pro

CLEANING THE BATHTUB LIKE A PRO

Have you ever wondered what that slimy grey build up on your bathtub or your tiles is? That icky grayish stuff is nothing but soap scum.

Essentially soap scum is a mix of your body oils, dead skin cells, soap residue, hard water mineral deposits, etc. awful accumulating over time, and this is the most difficult part to clean in a bathtub. So do you know the best way to clean the bathtub? Read on to know more.

The better and effective way of cleaning the bathtub is to know your product, your tools, and the technique before starting any sort of cleaning.

There are 2 major types of tubs- acrylic and porcelain. How do you know what type of bathtub do you have?

It’s very easy to test this. Just go to the side of the tub and tap it with your fingernails. If you get a metallic sound then its porcelain and if it sounds plastic then it’s acrylic.

The stain is easy to scratch due to its soft and plastic-like nature, so we need to be gentle. While the porcelain bathtub is more durable – so you can use heavy-duty products & tools. Use gentle products like baking soda and very gentle soaps and detergents on pigment tubs.

Before beginning the cleaning process for your bathtub here are a few things to be taken care:

– Test in a hidden area by applying a little baking soda and scrubbing with a damp cloth or scrubbing with the cleaning solution.

– Clear in and around the bathtub of any products or toys.

– Keep all your material handy.

Run your hand around the whole bathtub once. This will give you an idea as to where it is smooth and where it is rough and gritty.

Where soap scum is. Pour a little vinegar on a microfiber cloth and rub it in the area if you have only minor areas to work on. But if you have a lot more grime then scrub it with a non-scratch blue on blue scotch Brita scrub.

If the grime is tough spray a mixture of equal parts of water and vinegar with 2 tablespoons of dish soap. Let this mixture sit on the grime for a few minutes and then get in and scrub it out.

Remember to not pour water/rinse until you have finished the cleaning process of the bathtub. Rinse the dirty bathtub with water only after you have finished cleaning and are satisfied. Always start from the top of the tub to the bottom and also around the drain. Also do not forget to clean the outside of the bathtub as well.

Remind to always wet your sponge and clean in an ‘S’ pattern working your way from back to forth, top to the bottom. In the end, clean dry with an ultra-plush microfiber cloth which is super absorbent to get rid of any excess moisture. Finish off by wiping off the exterior with the same cloth.

Wiping off the excess moisture will help to make the bathtub shiny. This is the best way to clean a bathtub.

Now your bathtub is all clean and shiny all you need to do next is just pour in some Epsom salts and essential oils and relax in the bath and in case if you find all this cleaning to be a hassle then call us at primo and we will take care of your bathtub cleaning needs.

Quick Hacks for Messy Kitchens

QUICK HACKS FOR MESSY KITCHENS

We all love eating yummy food but dread the cleaning after. From the chopping boards to the messy kitchen counters. Here are a few tips and tricks to clean your messy kitchen accessories so that they remain sparkling clean throughout.

Wooden Chopping board:

The best way to clean and sanitize your wooden chopping board is with lemon + salt. Sprinkle salt all over the wooden chopping board. Squeeze out the juice of half a lemon and get in there and give the board a good tequila style scrub with the lemon. Rinse and let dry.

Made the yummy smoothie or the super sticky dressing. This hack will get all the grime out in a jiffy.

Blender Jars:

Give the blender jar a quick rinse. Add 2 ml of dish washing liquid into the jar. Fill one-third of the jar with water.

Place the lid on and blend. Discard the soapy water and give it a final rinse. Voilà!

If your whole kitchen is sparkling but your kitchen sink is dirty then you do not have a clean kitchen. Kitchen Sinks are the breeding grounds of bacteria.

It is also the place where bad smell may come from. Cleaning the kitchen sink is the most important aspect of kitchen cleaning.

The most important thing to keep the kitchen sink clean is to not leave any dishes longer than necessary. Kind of obvious isn’t it. It may not be practical to clean every dish immediately after use but it is very important. As most of the kitchen sinks nowadays are Stainless steel we will talk about cleaning them only.

Kitchen Sinks:

Stainless steel sinks can be cleaned with just dish soap or kitchen cleaning and water but in case you have a few stains to remove- sprinkle baking soda all over the sink, let it sit for a few minutes and scrub.

Rinse with warm water. In case of hard stains, brown spots, or marks around the sink strainer and drain you can mix the baking soda with dish soap, leave it for a few moments and scrub with a brush. In case if you want to deodorize or unclog your sink just put a whole lot of baking soda into the drain and leave for an hour. Heat 3 cups of white vinegar and dump it down the sink and your sink will stink no more unclogging in the process.

This is one of the best ways to cleaning and deodorize your kitchen sink while being eco-friendly.

We hope these handy tips and tricks would help you to keep your kitchen clean and sparkling as Quick Hacks for Messy Kitchens!!
