Amidst the current scenario, sanitisation has become the norm and the necessity. It applies to all surfaces we regularly come in contact with. As we enter the house or a room, the first surface we interact with is the floor. Keeping the flooring spic and span is extremely crucial as it is highly prone to dirt and stains.
As we wade through the pandemic situation, it is advisable that we maintain basic home hygiene along with personal hygiene. It isn’t simply about sprucing up the house, but getting rid of superfluous clutter, swabbing the floors, and dusting the furniture. And the most important aspect, albeit often overlooked, is a thorough cleaning of the tiles.
Without the house help at home, here are some tips to maintain a clean and healthy home.
Keep the floor gleaming
- Some swear by old home remedies like vinegar, mild acid solution, or bleaching powder—not really the best products to use on delicate surfaces. These will most likely end up damaging the finish of the tiles and stripping them off their shine. Avoid harsh chemicals to remove stains or dirt, the best way to keep the tiles gleaming is to use the right cleaning agent.
- Using a product like Roff Cera Clean can help as it has been specially designed to clean tiles and ceramic wares such as wash basins. Its pH is well balanced to remove those tough stains of hard water and paint. It will keep your floor looking fresh and ensure its durability for years to come.
Clean act! (Bathroom and Kitchen tiles)
- Bathrooms and kitchens are by far the most utilitarian and functional rooms in the house. Also, being the wettest areas, they are most likely to collect grime and mold. Cleaning bathroom and kitchen tiles can be rather cumbersome and time consuming. Tough stains in these areas can be easily removed using Roff Cera Clean without decolouring the tiles and maintaining its beauty.
Other surfaces
- Clean the door knobs, switch boards, remote controls, etc. with a disinfectant.
- Recent research indicates that carpets in the bedroom hold twice the bacteria compared to the living room floor, and ten times that of a gym floor. Thorough cleaning is the need of the hour.
