Do you have carpet in your home?

Do you have pets?

Need an easier way to clean up pet hair, dust balls under furniture that sits on carpet?

Try using a microfiber mop with a dry pad to roll up hair and dust into a ball for easier pickup with your vacuum cleaner.

Microfiber mops also work great on all solid flooring. Using a microfiber mop makes dusting your floors easier, with it’s sturdy aluminum telescoping handle. It’s long reach will help you dust under couches and beds with ease. Got pets that shed, you need a microfiber mop to quickly and easily pick up the pet hair. When the pad fills up, just remove and shake it outside, replace and continue dusting.

Them microfiber pads are reusable and washable, saving you money over buying replaceable towels for Swifter or Pledge dusters. Need to damp mop – just wet the pad and wash your floors!

The mop is also very useful for dusting down walls, with it’s sturdy  6 ft reach handle.

Are you trying to be more “green”? It is the in thing these days, especially with the worldwide meeting going on in Copenhagen.

We can all improve on the ways we do things. Using less paper towels, will result in less wood products being used and trees being cut down. Trees are however a renewable source, they just take years to grow.

Using microfiber hand towels, microfiber dish cloths and cleaning cloths can help you be more green. They are washable, which makes them reusable. Microfiber is known to remove over 99% of bacteria off of a hard surface with just water. They will not only save you on chemical cleaners but on paper toweling as well.

So if you are looking to buy someone, something “green”this year, buy them microfiber products. Microfiber is available in many different products now, from dish cloths, hand towels, dish towels, microfiber mops and dustere, microfiber bath towels, spa towels, facial cloths, window cleaning towels, auto detailing towels, cloth diapers, pet and sport products.

If you are looking for other types of green products: check out “Let”s Go Green”. They have everything 50% off with this code: 50off till the end of the year. They carry water bottles, biodegradable garbage bags, composters, biodegradable disposable plates, bowls, glasses, office supplies and many more items. I really like my water bottle I got from them, so I got some for my kids and grandchilds for Christmas. I also have gotten the garbage bags for our use and for our church’s use. This is really a good deal, stock up and save.

Do you owe, run or work in a restaurant or bar, or even at a resort?

Then you should try microfiber cleaning cloths, they will save you time and help you clean more efficiently.

Someone spilled a drink, soak it up with  a microfiber cloth.

How about wiping off the bar or cleaning up tables, do it faster with microfiber.

How about those windows or floors? Clean them faster with a microfiber all purpose cloth or as with the floors – a microfiber mop.

With all the flu’s and colds going around – help keep your counters, chairs, door knobs etc. free of bacteria by wiping with a microfiber cloth and spraying them with PureGreen24, a 24 hour natural disinfectant.

Got ceiling fans – clean them with our new microfiber high dusting wand.

Microfiber will help you reduce the amount of cleaning chemicals you buy and are exposed too. Help to make your place of business a “green” business by using microfiber!

Is cleaning your blinds not one of your favorite jobs?

Well cleaning them with a damp microfiber all purpose cloth will help you get that job done quicker and more efficiently. The microfiber picks up the dirt instead of just smearing it around. You will have to use fewer strokes to get them clean.

Yesterday, my husband and I went and washed windows & doors, cleaned blinds, cleaned fans, refrigerator at our church. It was quick work to let the blinds down, turn them so they were flat one way, wipe them off, turn them the other way and wipe off the back side.

My husband used our new microfiber high duster to wipe off the fan blades. It works wonderfully for getting under appliances and removing cobwebs in the corners.

He then used the microfiber mop to wash some of the higher windows that were difficult to reach standing on the floor or ground outside. He just wet the mop pad and wiped down the stained glass windows. The mop comes with 2 mop pads, you could wash with one and dry with the other. Or if you can spray the windows, then wipe with a dry pad. The all purpose cloths will also “stick” to the Velcro on the mop head.

Both the mop and the high duster come with 6 ft extension handles. This allows you to get to both the high and low places.

An easier way to clean the refrigerator is to use a microfiber dish cloth, just dampen it in hot water and wipe out all the areas of the refrigerator. At home, I don’t always remove all the items. If a rack is dirty I just use a damp microfiber dish cloth to wipe it off.

You can clean all these items without using chemical cleaners, all you need is a bucket of hot water.

Struggle no more! Cleaning is easier, faster and more efficient when cleaning with microfiber cloths, towels, mitts or mops. Microfiber grabs the dirt, pulling it into the cloth – out of your way.

Do you hate dusting like me?

Since I started cleaning my house with microfiber, I need to dust less often; this is because I have less dust being stirred up and onto my furniture and shelves.

“Sweeping” my laminate floors with a microfiber mop helps to pick up even the fine dust particles, leaving your floor and air cleaner. A microfiber mop will work well on any hard surface floor. After I “sweep” my floors with a dry mop pad, I just wet the pad and mop up any dirt spots. The mop leaves little water on the floor, thereby it dries faster too.

One of my customers stated she loved her mop for cleaning up pet hair. She had all hard surface floors and dogs. She loved it for picking up all the hair left by her dogs, it really helped her to clean up her floors faster and easier.

Got windows to wash, do it with a microfiber cloth. Wet one in hot water and wash, using another to dry with. Windows will be cleaner because you aren’t using a petroleum based window cleaner, that can cause smearing and leave a film behind to attract dirt. I have found I can wash my windows allot faster using a microfiber cloth, since I don’t have to keep redoing to get rid of streaks and smudges.

Do you love stainless steel appliances but hate cleaning them? Wash them with a microfiber dish cloth. Just wash and walk away, it couldn’t be easier!

Do you have pets that shed? Ugh, pet hair is everywhere! A great way to clean it up, is to use a microfiber mop. The unique attracting ability of a microfiber mop picks the hair up on the mop, leaving your floor clean.

After you have “swept” a section or pad is getting full,  just clean off the mop pad by shaking or scrapping it off into a waste basket and continue sweeping. It is amazing what that pad will pick up. One of my customers told me she has dogs and scatter rugs. She just picks up the rugs and damp mops her floors with a microfiber mop; she said it was a great way to clean her floors.

We have both have found that since we have been cleaning with a microfiber mop we don’t have to dust as often. The mop picks up the fine dust and dirt, instead of just pushing it around. You get less airborne particles that land then on your furniture. And who isn’t for dusting less!!

Today, March 20th is the first day of spring! Hurrah!

But it doesn’t feel like it, had a little snow flurries this morning, 37 degrees this afternoon with the wind blowing. But the snow is pretty much all disapperared in our yard, and the flowers will soon be coming to life!

So now comes the time to spring clean your home and yard. Think Green! when beginning to clean! Cleaning with microfiber cloths, towels and mops 
will save you time and energy. With its unique dirt grabbing ability, let “the cloths do the work for you”. Use them to wash your windows faster and more efficiently, helping you to perform that task with greater ease.

Enjoy cleaning up your yards and waiting for the flowers to bloom, some of you might already have flowers blooming, but here in northern Wisconsin, we are just finally getting rid of the snow.

So here are some ideas you can do to help lower your carbon footprint in your office.

In this article are lots of ideas on “greening your office”: http://ecopreneurist.com/2008/04/11/10-business-practices-that-reduce-your-footprint/

Some other ideas are:

1. Recycle your used office paper
2. Reuse your office paper, especially if you have a home office and you have only printed on one side
3. Recycle your used ink and toner cartridges
4. Clean your office without using chemical by cleaning with microfiber cleaning cloths and mops
5. Turn off computers and other office equipment when finished for the night or when leaving for the day
6. Install energy efficient windows in your office, for more natural light
7. Use fluorescent lighting over incandescent

No more sweeping and sweeping when using a microfiber dust mop. Microfiber picks up even the fine dust in one sweep. Pestered by pet hair, clean it up with a microfiber dry mop.

Do enjoy baking? How about all that flour, sugar etc. that seems to find its way out of your bowls onto the floor? Sweep it up quickly with a microfiber mop.

Do you farm, then you need a microfiber mop. They help to keep, all that barn dirt & lime that gets dragged into the house, under control.

How about you moms with young children? Get a cleaner floor with microfiber. Using microfiber helps to greatly reduce the amount of bacteria found on a hard surface, being a floor or counter top.

Microfiber mops do a better job than a broom, no more vacuuming needed after dusting with a microfiber mop; and no more dusting sheets to buy with a microfiber mop! Their head is reusable, just wash in regular laundry, dry and you’re ready to go again.

Arise ladies! No more scrubbing that floor on your hands and knees. Let the microfiber’s scrubbing ability do the work for you!

Microfiber mops are great for cleaning all sorts of hard surface floors like:

• Hardwoods
• Linoleum
• Laminates
• Marble
• Slate
• Ceramic Tile
• Tile

If it has a solid surface it can be cleaned with a microfiber mop.

No chemicals are needed when cleaning/wet mopping a floor with a microfiber mop. Just wet the “head” in a bucket of warm/hot water, reattach it to the mop frame and mop away. Mopping with microfiber cleans a floor better than a string or sponge mop, and it helps to eliminate those sour smelling mops.

Using a microfiber mop is green cleaning! No chemicals here!

Some microfiber mops come with separate heads – a dusting head, dry head for sweeping the floor and a “wet” head. Others are more versatile, sweep and mop with the same head.

I like to sweep my floors with  a dry one, and then just dampen it to catch all those spots that need an extra touch. I wet the head in my sink, and wipe up those spills and dirty spots. The floor dries faster too, when damp mopped with microfiber, so you can be walking on it sooner. That way you will have less tracking across your freshly mopped floor!

Need to “catch” a cobweb or two off your walls and ceilings; take your microfiber mop after them!
