			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every household has at least one bathroom and or shower room. These  are used every day and sometimes many times during the course of a day.  All members of the family use them and very few will clean up after  themselves consequently they can very quickly become horror zones. This  is often the area that nobody likes to clean but should be cleared and  cleaned on a regular basis. How regular depends on how many individuals  are in the household if there are many then it should be done every day.  as this is a task we hate doing this clearing and cleaning is often  superficial. As a result all bathrooms should be deep cleaned also on a  regular basis, say at least once per month but it can be more frequent  again depending upon how frequently it is used and by whom.</p>
<p>The  more frequent the deep cleaning is the more you can keep on top of the  build up of grime and dirt and the quicker and easier the cleaning  becomes each time until it reaches a point where it becomes normal  routine. That way you will always be able to take a pride in your  bathrooms and never get caught out by that unexpected visitor. By and  large we are often judged as individuals by the cleanliness or otherwise  of our bathrooms or toilet areas which are open to visitors.</p>
<p>You  will of course have your normal cleaning routine and areas that are  cleaned on a normal basis this you will continue to adhere to but below  you will find additional information which will assist you in this deep  cleaning process. They are in addition to your normal cleaning and do  not supplant it.</p>
<p>Many of us live in locations where our water  supply consists of very hard water. Hard water produces two problems.  One is that more soap has to be used to produce the lather which then  generates more scum deposits and the second is the problem of limescale.  The calcium carbonate will quickly settle out of the water wherever it  becomes stationary even for a second or two consequently it is found  covering shower screens, the bases of taps, the ends of the taps and  shower heads, streaking the wall tiles and quickly building up as a ring  in the toilet bowl at the interface of the water and air. All of this  build up makes your bathroom look uncared for and slightly dirty. To  remove it you require an acid based cleaner. The general bathroom and  shower cleaners will not shift it. You require a dedicated limescale  remover product of which there are some on the market for the consumer.  Do not use a multi-purpose cleaner which also happens to remove  limescale it will take much longer and require more effort on your part  to get it off. Purchase one where that is its sole function as cleaning  will be much easier and quicker.</p>
<p>If you get any condensation  within your bathroom which is a normal part of using it then you can be  guaranteed that the limescale will have coated every single surface even  where you cannot see it. It will not just be in those high build up  areas like taps and shower screens where it is eminently visible, it  will be everywhere. Therefore using your dedicated product which is  probably in a spray bottle spray all the surfaces making them thoroughly  wet and then leave for a minute or two before wiping off with a clean  dry cloth. Where the limescale has built up to become highly visible  such as around the base of the taps then it is a good idea to get an old  toothbrush to use as a scrubber. Where there has been considerable  build up then your product no matter how good will not be able to remove  it. In this situation you require something such as a flat headed  screwdriver which you can use to carefully chip off the limescale. When  doing this be very careful not to scratch the ceramic or metal surface.  You may have to use this method in the toilet bowl if you have a visible  ring. Ensure that on the metal surfaces the product is rinsed off as it  can strip the chrome from chrome plated fittings and will easily damage  brass fittings. It is wise not to use these strong products on any  brass, gold plated or cast iron fittings.</p>
<p>Discoloured Grout  between tiles can spoil the appearance of a clean bathroom and once it  becomes discoloured it is very difficult to remove by general cleaning.  There are some innovative products on the market such as touch-up paint  pens that can transform the look of discoloured grout. However for  general cleaning you can use household bleach to whiten yellowed grout  by applying to a soft cloth, dabbing onto the grout, scrub with an old  toothbrush and then rinse off completely. The same goes for acid  cleaners; bleach and acid solutions are caustic and can degrade the  grout and other surfaces, so make sure that you rinse thoroughly after  treatment. It should go without saying that you should always wear  protective gloves and in particular if you are cleaning high level  areas, you should wear goggles. Never mix bleach as the result can be  highly toxic fumes.</p>
<p>A major problem that many bathrooms have,  especially those which suffer from excessive condensation is the growth  of mould or mildew along the grout lines and sealant areas. Supermarkets  sell a variety of products which will do the job quite effectively and  if you choose this method then simply follow the instructions on the  bottle. However if you wish to save some money then you can very easily  make up your own mixture. All you need is a clean and empty spray bottle  and some bleach. Mix the bleach with water in the ratio of three parts  hot water to one part bleach. This is then sprayed onto the affected  areas until they are thoroughly soaked and then go and have a cup of  coffee whilst it does its work. After about 20 minutes wash off with  plenty of water and dry the area using clean dry cloths. Some stubborn  areas may require you to agitate your mixture. Again you can use the old  toothbrush to do this but do be careful of splashes so protect yourself  appropriately.</p>
<p>For those of us who do not have a separate shower  unit but have the shower over the bath then invariably we have some sort  of shower curtain. More often than not this is of a plastic material  which will over time discolour and maybe subject to some mildew growth  also. To remedy these problems you can simply spray the curtain  thoroughly soaking it with your bleach mixture and leaving it before  rinsing it off using the shower unit. Alternatively put some water and  bleach into the bath and immerse the shower curtain in this. This is a  more effective method if the curtain is in need of more serious  attention. 30 minutes soaking should be long enough to restore it to  like new. Don&#8217;t forget to thoroughly rinse the curtain before rehanging.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Renovation of the house was commonly done in many households. All the walls were painted, the furniture replaced and the basic room layout was changed. But previously no one bothered about the bathrooms. People used to clean it up regularly but no one really put emphasis on renovating it. But trends have changed and an article in a recent business week edition says that an unprecedented shift has occurred in the renovation market. The choice of people has changed. Instead of spending a fortune on getting modern kitchens or beautifying other parts of the house, their choice is now focused on remodeling their bathrooms. The number of people who would like to embellish their private space (bathroom) has increased multifold. The idea of a bathroom has changed drastically; it is no more a quiet and cold room, it has an entirely different meaning in the consumer&#8217;s minds. Its a luxurious space for one to pamper oneself.</p>
<p>Understanding the changing trend, a wide variety of products have come up offering the consumer a motley of choices. With this change, as there are sufficient products available, very different and creative bathroom designs have been coming up. These designs vary from being simple to very ornate. Bathroom renovation has grown to a separate level and is an industry in itself today. But caution must be exercised while renovating your bathroom. It doesn&#8217;t involve just getting a new sink, toilet and a bath. It involves maintaining a theme, choosing the right products, using the right colors and a lot more. It is more like an art where the colors, angles and styles create a synergy and give your bathroom a very new and luxurious ambiance.<br /><a name='more'></a></p>
<p>When you begin refurbishing your bathroom, one of the very first things you need to change would be the sink. You might not be aware, but the sink endures a lot of abuse. Every day lots of chemicals are poured in making it lose its luster. There need not be an injury to your sink to change it. If it&#8217;s been there for too long, then it&#8217;s definitely time to change it. Just have a look at the catalogue of the various sinks available today. You&#8217;d be surprised to see the variety of colors and textures used in making such a common bathroom vanity. So you can very easily choose one that suits your bathroom and bring it home. For that overall bathroom design, you could choose from many styles starting from the very tradition style to the most modern style. You could also choose to be different by choosing a really creative theme for your bathroom.</p>
<p>And when you change something in your bathroom, just make sure that it gets in with the other things in the bathroom. Just imagine the horrible embarrassment you would have to undergo when your friends point out the great difference between the newly purchased sink and the remaining things in your bathroom. So make sure you make a wise choice and do an overall refurbishing at a time and within no time you would be lost having a decadent bath in your new luxurious bathroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">Spring cleaning is the toughest cleaning job during a year. While some of you wish to hire professional services, most of you have to do it by your own hands. For a house that is so big for cleaning, it is impossible to clean every place and corner thoroughly. You need to focus on your cleaning on certain areas. </p>
<p>This first thing to focus on is stain removal. The places that are with most stains should be your kitchen and bathroom. The high traffic and usage of the kitchen and bathroom make them prone to stain accumulation. </p>
<p>Whenever you clean your kitchen, you should start off with your rangehood and hob. With just a glance, you will notice that there is a layer of grease covering the rangehood and hob. To ease your cleaning work a bit, you can place a plastic wrap over the oil collector of the rangehood. As most of the oil is trapped by the plastic wrap, you can clean your rangehood more efficiently. <br /><a name='more'></a></p>
<p>People usually turn the rangehood off before their cleaning. In fact, you can turn it on. Then spray the rangehood cleaner onto the fan. When the fan is spinning, the resulted centrifugal force helps soften and remove the grease. When you turn the rangehood off, you just need to do a little wipe clean. </p>
<p>Bathroom is another focus for your spring cleaning. Bathroom is very humid which facilitates the growth of spots and mold. You have to pay special attention whining cleaning the floor, toilet bowl and bathtub. Water alone is insufficient to clean the bathroom properly. You may need to buy specific bathroom cleaners, stain removers and sanitizers. </p>
<p>For living room and bedroom, focus of cleaning should be put on windows, carpet, floor, sofa and curtain. It is because these are the most eye-catching things in your living room and bedroom. As for certain materials of upholstery, dry cleaning is required. You may need to plan ahead the cleaning schedule so it does not hinder your spring cleaning. </p>
<p>Cleaning is not just removing the visible dirt from your house. You should also take the chance to organize everything in your house in a systemic way. Also, be ready to throw away unnecessary items. These unnecessary items may have stayed in your house for years. That means, they have taken up your precious space for many years as well. Clearing of such items helps you to get a larger space to fit your furniture. </p>
<p>To give a new look to your house, you have to decorate it after proper cleaning. Apply your creativity to decorate your house by adding different colors and small decorations. Creativity plays an important role for adding colors and freshness to your house. One best way to change the atmosphere of your house is to re-paint your wall with a different color. </p>
<p>A simple rule to remember is a warm color gives you a warm feeling while a cold color gives you a fresh feeling. To play safe, you can always choose white. </p></div>
