Recently, Xiaomei collected "Year-end Cleaning Tips" on other platforms .

Received a lot of valuable experience from my girlfriends,

Of course, there are also some insights that resonate with people.

Some girlfriends found old diaries,

Perhaps it is a lingering memory of youth,

Seeing the two crossed out lines, I really want to know what they are...

--@是淑啊PST

Another friend found something she thought was lost during the cleaning.

When I found it again, it was a "surprise"!

Last year before the Lunar New Year, I cleaned my room and put all my headphones in a headphone bag. I never saw the bag again for the rest of the year. Recently, I cleaned my room again before the Lunar New Year, and the bag suddenly appeared again. I'm so happy. --@登春爱懒羊羊

But Xiaomei still discovered a "different" experience!

My daughter's favorite celebrity posters adorn the walls of our living room. Last year, during a housecleaning, I tore down the posters to put up new ones! The moment the posters were ripped off, a ton of red-faced Mao Zedong notes fell out—a full 10,000 yuan! I figured I hadn't hidden any money, and there was no way my daughter could have that much. Sure enough, after questioning them, I learned it was my husband who had hidden it! I'm impressed with myself for even finding this! --@初秋的雪

What? This is a fantastic way to clean up at the end of the year!

Xiaomei really wants to ask this husband:

It's time for another big cleaning, are you ready?

As the saying goes: Sweep the house on the 24th .

The New Year's bell has rung,

Have you already started cleaning your house?

The living room floor is covered with dust, and the corners are full of dirt.

Greasy kitchen, messy bedroom...

(OMG, I've felt the despair deeply)

today,

Xiaomei presents you with the "Spring Festival Dust Removal Plan - Living Room" .

I hope this will help every girlfriend who has a cleaning plan.

Well...of course I also hope to help you discover the secret money your husband hides!

(Friendly reminder: If you really find something you shouldn’t find,

Don’t forget, we should be harmonious and make money during the holidays!)

Door and window cleaning

0 1 Glass Doors and Windows

To clean glass doors and windows, you can first use a soft, clean rag to wipe off the dust on the glass or mirror in a certain order. If there are stains on the glass, wipe it with a rag dipped in clean water, and then wipe it dry with a dry rag.

Of course, if the stains are difficult to remove, you can use glass cleaner to wipe them and gently scrape them off with a glass scraper, but be careful not to scratch the mirror surface with the blade.

Xiaomei Tips

Required tools: glass scraper, scraper, telescopic pole, towel, glass cleaner, etc.;

Note: Be careful to prevent the metal part of the glass from scratching the glass.

0 2 Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are generally made of four main materials: metal, hard plastic, bamboo, and solid wood. Here, I'll focus on solid wood blinds and explain how to clean them.

Because solid wood Venetian blinds cannot be soaked in water, they are prone to cracking and warping. Therefore, it's best to be careful when cleaning them. First, rotate the blinds to close them. Use a duster to remove dust from the surface. After cleaning one side, rotate the blades to the other side. Next, gently wipe the surface of the blades with a dry cloth.

Xiaomei Tips

Required tools: dry rag, wet rag, detergent, duster;

Note: Be aware of the corrosion of wooden blinds by cleaning agents.

0 3 Screen Window

If the screen window can be removed and washed, try to remove it and wash it.

After removing the screen window, you can stick old newspaper on one side of the screen window , then use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the dirt or spray it with a small spray bottle , and finally wipe it with a dry rag to keep the screen window clean.

If you cannot remove it, you can cover the mouth of the vacuum cleaner with a torn old stocking, dip it in water and clean it, and the dust will be sucked away silently.

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: old newspapers, vacuum cleaner, worn-out socks, detergent;

Note: Be careful not to use a dry brush or a dry rag to wipe, otherwise dust will fly all over the room.

Wooden floor cleaning

Ordinary tile floors are easy to clean and don't require any special attention. Therefore, Xiaomei will focus on cleaning wooden floors.

Because wooden floors are particularly sensitive to moisture, it's best to first sweep the floor with a dry broom to remove any dust. Then, use a well-wrung mop or rag to mop. If there are greasy, difficult-to-clean stains, simply wipe them with a rag dampened with detergent.

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: mop, rag, broom, cleaning agent;

Note: Do not use sandpaper to polish, as that will damage the wooden floor; do not mop the floor with a very wet mop, as it may cause the floor to crack.

Carpet Cleaning

Carpets can easily attract fine dust and stains such as animal hair, making them difficult to clean.

First, vacuum the surface, and continue vacuuming regularly. For stains on the carpet's surface or deep within, add detergent or vinegar and wait 15 minutes before proceeding. Once the stain has dried, vacuum or rag it again.

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: vacuum cleaner, rags, detergent, vinegar;

Note: A lemon and salt combination can also clean minor stains; if using vinegar as a cleaner, be careful not to use too much, as this can cause mold growth .

Wooden furniture cleaning

The cleaning methods for wooden furniture are similar to those for wooden floors. First, use a dry cloth or duster to remove surface dust. Then, use a dry cloth dampened with warm water to further wipe.

If you have tough stains on your furniture, try a lemon and salt combination—it might work wonders. Halve a lemon, dip it in a small amount of salt, and use the lemon and salt to clean the stain. Afterward, wipe with a dry cloth.

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: rag, duster, lemon, salt;

Note: Pay attention to scratches on the surface of wooden furniture. If scratches appear, you can use a combination of olive oil + apple cider vinegar , wipe the scratches repeatedly, and it will soon be as bright and clean as new.

Sofa cleaning

0 1 Leather Sofa

For leather sofas, you should first understand the type of leather and use professional sofa cleaners and conditioners. But Xiaomei will tell you something different: a small trick can make your leather sofa as shiny as new.

Beat an egg and save the egg white. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of egg white and repeatedly rub the creases of your leather sofa for 2-5 minutes. Then, use a soft toothbrush to clean the creases. Soon, those annoying stains will be gone!

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: towels, rags, toothbrushes, egg whites, professional sofa cleaners and maintainers;

Note: Allow the leather to dry naturally and avoid direct heat or sunlight.

0 2 Fabric Sofa

To clean a fabric sofa, you can first pat it with a dry towel to remove the dust, and then wipe the fabric surface with a wet towel. Of course, if you have a vacuum cleaner at home, the dust removal effect will be better.

If there are stains on the surface of the sofa, you can use a clean cloth dipped in water or a special sofa cleaner to wipe from the outside to the inside until the stains are removed. However, do not use a large amount of water to scrub it, so as to prevent water from seeping into the inner layer of the sofa, causing the internal frame of the sofa to become damp and deformed, and it is also easy to breed mold.

Xiaomei Tips

Tools needed: rags, vacuum cleaner, cleaning agents;

Note: Need to dry naturally.
