Cooking savoury treats for guests, getting all decked up in festive clothes, decorating our homes to reflect the mood and of course the smile on every face. We all wish for everything to be perfect during the festivities. To ensure that everything goes well, today we bring to you some useful tips to freshen up your home, give your guests a warm welcome and create an unforgettable experience for all your friends and family. Clean up your home The first step to decorating your home is to get it organised. To prepare for the festive season you should spend an entire day going through each room, arranging and cleaning it as you go along. This allows you to take stock of every room individually and note down the things that require your attention. Start with the kitchen – clean out your oven, refrigerator, cabinets, sink and even wipe dow...

Most of us have wardrobes filled with unused clothes. While these clothes might have been dear to us some years ago, it is now time to be rid of them for good, instead of allowing them to take up space in your cupboard. Today we bring to you simple ways to responsibly get rid of old clothes to make way for new ones. Sell them Most people don’t even consider selling clothes they own but don’t wear. Clothes from your closet that you can sell, include old jeans that don’t fit, the new top you never wore, that dress you thought was cute but cannot stand now and any other clothes that you will no longer wear. Send these clothes to the  dry-cleaners  and get them professionally cleaned before putting them up for sale. You can sell your clothes online on sites like ebay or Instagram or you can hold a boutique sale at home and allow neighbours, and friends to buy them from you. Donate them Another way to responsibly do away with old clothes is by donating th...

Home is where we all feel safe and secure. And yet, even at home there is an invisible danger that we forget about – germs and bacteria. Here are some cleaning tips from your favourite  online dry-cleaners  to keep the germs, bacteria and viruses away from home. Toxic carpeting Carpeting is a fixture at home that tends to get forgotten as it fades into the background. As time passes, your carpet attracts and retains greasy residue, dirt, soil, bacteria, mold and even unhealthy toxins lurking in the air. You should wash your carpet regularly with the help of dry-cleaning and  carpet cleaning services  such as Spin N Press. This applies doubly so if you have children or pets at home. Another good tip is to replace the carpet entirely every 3-5 years to avoid germ build-up over a long period of time. Tidy up Unclean surfaces that are touched often are a hotbed for viruses if left unchecked. To take care of these viruses simply do routine cleaning...

Green dry cleaning or eco-friendly dry cleaning is dry cleaning without the chemical perchloroethylene. While this chemical is a great cleaning agent, it has numerous side effects.  The effects caused by perchloroethylene in humans are troubled breathing, kidney dysfunction, headaches, dizziness and even increased cancer risk. Most  dry cleaners  still use ‘perc’ as it is an effective solvent when it comes to cleaning clothes. An eco-friendly dry cleaner is one that uses alternative dry cleaning methods instead of relying on ‘perc.’ How to identify an eco-friendly dry cleaner To understand how to identify an eco-friendly dry cleaner we need to better understand the dry-cleaning process. Dry-cleaning does not have to be exclusively done by chemical solvents. Popular alternatives are wet cleaning, liquid carbon dioxide cleaning, silicone-based solvents and DF-2000 Hydrocarbon solvents. To identify eco-friendly dry cleaners you need to look at ...
