HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

CLEANING TIPS

1. The Magic of White Vinegar: 

Did you know that white vinegar is your best ally for cleaning? Use it to disinfect surfaces, clean glass, and eliminate odors. And don't worry, your house won't smell like a salad! 

2. Team Cleaning: 

Turn cleaning into a family activity. Divide the tasks, put on some music, and offer a small reward at the end. Team cleaning is faster and more fun!

3. Baking Soda Trick:

For those tough stains on carpets or sofas, try a mixture of baking soda and water. Let it sit and then vacuum. It's like having a magic wand for stains. 

4. Weekly Planning: 

Keep your house always clean by assigning specific tasks to each day of the week. There's nothing like a bit of organization to avoid chaos!


INTERIOR PAINTING TIPS:

1. Preparation is Key: 

Before you start painting, make sure to cover furniture and floors with tarps or plastic. A bit of preparation will save you a lot of cleanup time afterward.

2. Choosing the Color: 

Choose light colors to make small spaces appear larger. Neutral tones are always a safe bet for a calm and cozy environment.

3. Proper Tools:

Invest in good brushes and rollers. Quality tools make a big difference in the final finish and can make the job much easier.

4. Color Testing:

Before committing to a color, paint a small section of the wall. Observe how it changes with natural light throughout the day.

You don't want to realize after painting the entire room that the color isn't what you imagined!

5. Layered Painting:

Apply paint in thin layers. It's better to apply two or three light coats than one thick one. This will prevent the paint from peeling or dripping.

6. Breaks and Ventilation:

Remember to take breaks and ventilate the room well while painting. This will help you avoid dizziness and also allow the paint to dry properly.


Painting, Home Therapy:

"Painting a room is like therapy for your home. And the best part is, at the end, you not only feel better, but your house also looks amazing."
