Cleaning Tips That Spark Joy

Some of us may have applied the tips from Marie Kondo of throwing away things that do not spark joy. How about the stains and gunk that now surfaced after the clutter has been cleared?

Let our cleaning experts – ONE15 housekeepers who take care of our hotel rooms, share with you a few tips & tricks to keep your house fresh and sparkling 5-star clean.

1. Air out the room

• Before cleaning, open the windows and any balcony doors. This will allow ventilation and help bring fresh air into the room, and stops the smell of any cleaning chemicals from lingering.

2. Keep the dust away

• Dust all surfaces, starting from the top and working your way down towards the floor. Make sure to dust all areas, including those which are hard to reach! Some examples are window blinds, ceiling fans and light fixtures, under the bed.
• To better aid your cleaning, invest in a thin microfiber duster that can slide underneath appliances. For a DIY fix, try wrapping a microfiber cloth around the end of a yardstick or broom and secure it with a rubber band. Slide the yardstick under the appliance to collect all of the dust!

3. Clean and sanitize

• Wipe down all hard surfaces and don’t forget to sanitise high contact areas/ items such as light switches, door handles, remote control and telephones. TV screens may also get dusty, and we recommend to wipe them with a dry cloth.

4. Vacuum furniture and upholstery

• Vacuum the furniture using an attachment to remove dust and dirt to make the room cleaner. Curtains can also be vacuumed using an attachment to remove dust.

5. Putting the shine back on sinks and bathtubs

• Put the shine back in your porcelain sink and bathtub by scrubbing them with full-strength white vinegar and rinsing with clean, cold water. To remove hard-water stains from your bathtub, pour 3 cups of white vinegar in and fill the tub up with hot water until it covers the stains. Let it soak for four hours. The stains should scrub off easily after that.

After applying these tips, step into a room that is as instagrammable as our Monte Carlo Suites!
