Have you ever noticed the build-up of grime and gunk on your handrails? After consistent use and being touched daily, the oils, dead skin cells, and other dirt from our hands can give the handrails a dingy, dirty look. It’s possible that we don’t notice the state of our handrails, either—that is, not until our […]
Clean Your Picture Frames Like a Pro
With autumn and winter well on its way, some of us might be searching for projects or chores to keep us busy (and cosy) inside our homes. Why not do a little bit of seasonal cleaning? Seasonal cleaning is a great task for those times when chilly, brisk temperatures keep us in doors. And it’s […]

Cleaning With Detail
We’ve shared many times about the importance of cleaning. It’s something we’re enthusiastic about. A clean home helps us keep peace of mind, and continually cleaning makes it easier to keep up with the chores. It’s good for our health, and it’s even helpful in reducing our allergies. Cleaning is important. Sometimes, however, cleaning well […]
Five Habits to Keeping a Tidy Home
There are days where we recognise there is only so much cleaning we can actually do. We can clean our house from top to bottom, thoroughly, but we still feel as if it’s not enough—but what more can we do? A home can be perfectly clean, and yet be highly unorganised. The two are not […]

There’s no end to the extra upkeep and those extra touches that we can use to up our cleaning game. So, what about lightbulbs? They can definitely […]
Avoiding Unsafe Cleaning Habits
After the outbreak of COIVD-19, keeping our homes sanitary and clean has been high on the priority list for many of us. In early March, cleaning products flew off the shelf, and it seemed as if everyone everywhere was keenly aware of the need to keep our homes sanitised and clean. But in the rush […]
Cleaner Kitchen Countertops
Our kitchen countertops are something we clean multiple times a day. With how often we prepare meals in there, it’s an important step to keep everything (especially on kitchen counter tops) sanitary. Sometimes, no matter how frequently or how often we wipe down the counter tops, after we’ve used them, it seems as if there […]
Pro-tips for Hard to Scrub Spots
Here at Maid to Shine, we talk quite a bit about the importance of wiping down furniture and other things around our homes to get up grime and built on dust. We all know it’s not always possible to dust to get things clean. Hand wiping is a great method to have handy. But sometimes […]
When Dusting Isn’t Enough
Dusting, as a part of our regular cleaning habit, is a good practice, but dusting only maintains objects. It isn’t meant to deep clean, and day-to-day dusting doesn’t work up the dust that has settled down into the grooves and surface of your household items.
