Not only is it hygenic to maintain a clean computer, but you could also prevent so many illnesses that could occur due to the germs lying in the machines.

It could also add years to the life of your computers and telephones, as not cleaning it could lead to it getting damaged.

Jonathon Millman, chief technology officer for Hooplah Interactive says:
“Your computer could fry if you don’t keep it clean.”

According to Microsoft at home, this is because when dust clogs the vents behind your computer, your CPU heats up—and heat is the biggest cause of component failure in computers.

But, don’t just go and get your nearest polish or cleaning products!! You need to be careful what use on your electrical equipment beacuse it can be damaged with the wrong products.

If you are not sure what to use, Total Clean Services Ltd offers bespoke computer and telephone equipment cleaning, for more information please contact us.

Office Cleaning LondonIf you are buried deep under pile of files and wasting time searching for papers, and so cluttered that your office cleaning staff cannot get passed that pile to deliver a really good office cleaning service, then your office furniture will probably be covered with layer of dust. You probably feel embarrassed when a client comes to visit you. It is said that a cluttered office is the sign of an unorganized, cluttered mind and this leaves a bad impression on clients.

A dusty and disorganised office affects your health as well. You and your colleagues can attract allergies to dust and become run down as you feel stressed when you cannot find particular file; this wastes valuable time. Here are some easy and practical tips to unclutter your work space to enable cleaning staff to clean your office effectively and offer you and your staff to work smarter.

Organize your office space

First, organize the office file cabinets and drawers. Try not to duplicate files for everyone but keep a common area for storage. Archive as many files as required. Neatly and clearly label files according to a system chosen by you. You can label drawers according to their content. After that you and all staff should be able to find all files easily when you need them and return them to their designated place.

Prioritize work every morning. It will help you focus on the task at hand.

Keep your equipment hygienic

Your desk can be the playground for germs. You and others can easily catch flu or other nasty diseases from things like phones or computer which other people also touch or use.  You can use special cleaning cloths for phones and keyboards and monitors, make sure you use for correct one for each piece of equipment Do not spray directly over the electronic goods.

 
So these are the things you should deal with personally. Other areas, like floors, windows, cabinets, kitchen and bathroom will need special attention of a professional cleaning company like Total Clean , especially if you are in London and surrounding areas.

With the sunny weather actually arriving in the UK this summer, it is time to get your home clean and ready for the many barbecues and evenings spent outside.

Cleaning Windows

Each summer, you should clean your outside windows and screens.

Always use a broom to remove spider webs and dirt before using water. Be careful of possible bee, wasp, or hornet nests.

Driveway and Deck Cleaning

The start of summer is a great time to do these once-a-year cleaning jobs. Our first tip is to not use a power washer! They are very dangerous to you, and can destroy your deck and driveway.

For outdoor decks, you can use a diluted mixture of TSP or deck cleaner, and then use a push broom or stiff brush to scrub the deck clean. Be sure to rinse well.

Grease stains can be treated with kitty litter or dry cement left to absorb the stain and then swept away.

Luggage Cleaning

It is the time for summer holidays, so chances are you’ll be dusting of your old suitcase and bags, with this you will probably notice how dirty it has gotten since you used it last year.

So here are some tips on how to clean your luggage without ruining it. Firstly, clean the outside with a diluted mild cleanser (leather should be cleaned with a commercial leather cleaner).

If the inside has developed a musty smell, clean it with a vinegar-water solution. Then let it air dry for several days.

After your holiday and before putting the luggage away for storage, toss a fabric softener dryer sheet into the closed bag, especially if you don’t use the luggage often to keep it fresh.

So now you’re set with our cleaning tips you can get your house prepared. But if you have a larger invironment that needs cleaning like an office, Total Clean Services could be just the company you are looking for.
