Of course, you don't need to tackle your ceiling every year. Often, it is sufficient to simply run a cobweb brush over the corners occasionally. However, certain ceilings, such as those in the kitchen and living room, need attention every two to three years. After all, these ceilings can become greasy or dirty due to soot or nicotine. You can, of course, choose to repaint your ceiling, but washing it is often much simpler!
Types of ceilings
The way you clean your ceilings depends on the type of ceiling. Is it a painted ceiling? Does it have wooden beams? Is the ceiling made of synthetic material, and so on. Today we are giving you some general cleaning products, but do double-check if the solution is suitable for your specific ceiling. (If necessary, try it out in a corner with just a very small amount of product.)
Dishwashing detergents
An overview of dishwashing liquids that generally work. You might even have a few at home already:
• Warm water with a handful of soda granules. First dissolve the soda in hot water and then add lukewarm water.
• Water with cleaning vinegar
• Water with a splash of ammonia. Make sure the rooms are well ventilated in this case, though. After all, ammonia can make you gasp for breath.
• Dettol
• Water with some bleach or Javel added.
• Water with a little washing powder in it.
Tips:
• Don't just pour everything together: use soapy water. Otherwise, you might get chemical reactions.
• For stubborn stains, you can use pure ammonia or pure cleaning vinegar.
• Let the mixture soak in for a while and then go over everything with cold water.
Techniques
Of course, you can go over all the ceilings with a rag and a stepladder, but usually that is not only a time-consuming task, it can also be very strenuous. Before you know it, you end up with a stiff neck or a sore back. Moreover, the work involves risks. Floor mops are safer and easier. You dip a mop or cloth into your soapy water, wring it out briefly, and attach it to the floor mop. This allows you to easily clean your ceilings. Naturally, a floor mop can only offer relief if you have a smooth ceiling without relief or beams. Always wring out your mop or cloth well enough; after all, you don't want the soapy water to get in your eyes!
Your family member would like to hire a cleaner, but is unable to apply for service vouchers. Your neighbor wants to switch to electronic service vouchers, but is not comfortable using a computer. These are all situations where it is easier if someone else handles the application. But can I order service vouchers for someone else? Cleaning agency Easy Life explains!
