Singapore’s humid weather can make it difficult to keep your home clean without the right cleaning tools. With high humidity, dust accumulation, and the occasional pest problem, having the right tools ensures a hygienic and comfortable living space.
Whether you are in a flat or landed house, MopSquads essential cleaning tools will make your home cleaning easier!
For Everyday Easy Cleaning
These are the tools that will help you the most in your day-to-day cleaning around the house. A vacuum cleaner, preferably one with a HEPA filter. These are great for keeping dust and allergens at bay. HEPA filters are known to trap small particles so once it is vacuumed up, they won’t be flying around your home anymore.
Microfiber cloths are great at trapping dirt! Without having to use too many cleaning agents or liquids they can easily wipe down any surface you want. Whether it’s wiping down tables or glasses and mirrors a microfiber cloth won’t leave any streak residue.
A mop or even a steam mop are cleaning tools that once you’ve had them, you can’t live without! They keep floors germ-free and spotless and are great at cleaning up spilt liquids. For non-liquid cleanups, a broom and dustpan are the quickest solutions. They pick up all the dust and dirt in one full sweep.
Squeegees are often overlooked as a home cleaning tool- and they shouldn’t! Because squeegees will leave all your surfaces streak-free. If a microfiber cloth is still leaving streaks then a squeegee will solve this issue for you.
For A Spotless Kitchen
To get rid of the tough grime and built-up food, use scouring pads or a rough sponge with hot water and dish soap. This will break down the oils and grime to make it easier to scrub it off with the scouring pad.
If your home is heavy on stainless steel appliances, investing in a good stainless steel cleaner will transform them. The cleaner will leave your appliances looking brand new and polished. Make sure to get a natural food-safe option to make sure you’re not consuming any unwanted chemicals.
For A Sparkling Bathroom
Your bathroom should have separate cleaning tools that are not used in the rest of the house. The tools that are used in the bathroom can carry bacteria that shouldn’t be spread to other rooms.
Keep a toilet brush and shower squeegee in each bathroom! You don’t want to carry around your toilet brush and walk around your living room or kitchen. Store them under your bathroom sink to keep them out of sight and create a well-organized bathroom.
Due to Singapore’s humid conditions, mould could be living in your bathroom as we speak. Keep a mould remover under the bathroom sink just in case there are ever signs of mould. Follow the instructions on the mould remover to use it efficiently.
To prevent any future mould from growing, make sure the bathroom is well-ventilated. Leave the door and windows open after the shower until the bathroom is fully dried before closing. Investing in a dehumidifier in your home can also help to curb this issue.
For A Squeaky Clean Floor
Keep an all-purpose cleaner in the home to quickly get rid of any stains that may appear. Any stains that appear on your table, couch or floor. Combine this with your mop to keep your floor fresh and clean.
If you have wooden flooring, a wood polish can help not only polish but also protect your floor from any scratches or marks. A wood polish makes it easier to remove any scratch marks from moving furniture. Just grab a cloth and use a mix of dish soap and warm water to wipe those marks away!
If you have a carpet in your home, it’s most likely harbouring thousands of bacteria and germs. A cloth steamer and vacuum will be your best friend when it comes to cleaning your carpet at home. The steam will loosen up all the grime and dirt while the vacuum sucks it out of your carpet.
Carpet cleaning should be done at least once a year to keep your home free from allergens and dust. Hire a professional carpet cleaning company to help you out if you’re not ready to invest in big purchases like a cloth steamer and vacuum.
For The Singaporean Climate
The humid Singaporean climate calls for special humidity-regulating tools. Such as dehumidifiers or air purifiers. These tools keep your air quality high and reduce humidity in moisture in your home- decreasing the risk of mould.
The climate also causes your home to have pests like mosquitos and flies from time to time. Consider some natural pest control sprays to relax and feel comfortable without pests flying around your home. Try scented candles that have essential oils like citronella or lemon eucalyptus as they have been proven to deter mosquitos.
