Cleaning your house is a big job. There are things that need to be done every day and things that can be tackled less often. Most people have some routines and ways that they keep their home cleaned but some of these ways might not be the best ways.
 
House cleaning is not always the most fun thing to do so Nadia’s House Cleaning has prepared some fun facts about cleaning that may help you get in a better mood when you are ready to clean yourself or inspire you to call us for professional house cleaning in the Greater Boston area!
Brass Doorknobs – Did you know that after about eight hours that a brass doorknob disinfects itself automatically? Brass doorknobs used to be used more often and it could have been for good reasons. Many bacteria are transferred when someone touches a doorknob that has already been exposed to it. In the 1890’s it was discovered that the ions in brass are actually toxic to living organisms like bacteria. After about the eight hour mark your brass doorknob is clean as can be.
Play Doh – We have all heard that some people use weird things to clean with, but did you know that play doh was originally manufactured to clean wall paper. A grocery line asked for a cleaner in 1933 to help clean the walls of soot. McVicker developed a putty that was used to roll up and wipe across the wall to remove the soot. After newer vinyl wallpaper came around and could be cleaned with water and soap, people started to recognize that this putty was fun for kids to play with as well.
Student Janitors – Did you know that many Japanese schools do not have janitors on their staff. The school has the children stay and do daily cleaning chores as part of the day. It makes many students re-think about marking up their school and making a mess when they are the ones who will have to clean it later!
Hoovering – This is another way to say vacuuming. One of the first professional vacuums that were sold throughout the United Kingdom was called a Hoover. This brand became so popular that people throughout the country starting calling vacuuming “hoovering”. So have you hoovered today?
