There is an old saying that goes, “You can’t eat the elephant, one bite at a time”. It is true with house cleaning. We say one big bite at a time.

The good news is it is no big ask, we can eat the elephant and in one day we can clean our home. But it takes a bit of courage. The root problem of time is feeling that your home is not clean. But if you follow a few simple rules we will want to make your home sparkling clean in no time.

Way to Clean House Fast and Easy

Cleaning Schidule

The first thing is you should develop a schedule. Make a list of the rooms that you are going to clean and see how long it takes each. Tell yourself that if you do it one day, it will leave you with somewhere to work on on another day.

Remember, it is a tough reality that we are never going to be able to clean house quicker than we do it. This is because we are humans with no natural super healing factor. So when we feel motivated to clean, we should make sure our schedule makes room for it.

If you think of your rooms it is easy to put the easy items down like a bed, make the bed, wash the bed every time, deal with the bathrooms, and clean the bathroom.

Bedrooms are pretty easy, just sweep and mop. But if there is a carpet than you should steam the places that are in the hard reach, carpeted of course, offering debits of being stop pedup.

Another Simple Way

Another really simple item with keeping your house clean is to clean your mirrors and windows. While you clean your refrigerator of children papers that you have thrown they can eventually end up as a breeding ground, a place where bacteria would work to breed and spread to the rest of your home. Also if you do not have some way to clean your refrigerator it would be a good idea to have that, wipe or spray with glass cleaner.

A safe and non toxic cleaner that will last for a long time and make a nice shine.

Kitchen can be a hassle because of the place where some of things can be quite dirty. But if you know how to stay on top of it you will have it clean the fast time that you want. Your empties are a place that needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. They are after all where you prepare food, so you want them to be clean.

But also you do not want to keep the place a mess, make cleaning so much of your task because it is easier to clean up after yourself than it is to clean up a big clean job which you started some time ago.

The bathroom is also a place which needs to be kept clean. The first thing is all those hair products, your curlers and the other beauty products and the tooth paste. If you throw these into the trash bin, do not under any means throw them out in the trash. Keep the products and keep the bottles that can, and put the bottles that have empty prints on the bathroom where you can get them.

Final Words

Other areas of the bathroom that should look clean and tidy are the toothbrushes the soap dispenser and the bathroom door. While you clean these, also dust them.

This is what a clean house is all about, a clean home can be completely cleaned up in one day if you try and do it.

How to Paint with a Roller? This is a common question asked by home owners and DIY’ers as they try to do some painting. Many have heard of spray painting, but typically DIY’ers shy away from this method seeing the possibility of painting with a roller less than excellent when compared to what they know about using a spray tool, usually the pros.

Painting with a paint roller

It is better than many other methods, once you understand what you are doing. Many people think of burnishing the wall, where you would use a roller, but this is a totally different way of painting with a paint roller. How you would slightly rake around the wall with a roller, raking what is painted on.

How would you apply the combination of applying a roller, applying flat and then painting with a brush, is easier than you think and once you start practicing with the technique, you will be surprised at just how much better it makes you feel. With the right equipment, you will be able to paint the walls in your home in no time.

The first rollers were not too expensive, so you could buy a couple of them for your home and see how they would work for you. Buy the highest quality paint that you can afford as it will last longer and look better also. The roller/painter combination tool can be found at most large DIY stores and with a bit of online research, you can find many sites online for high quality tools with some accessories.

For heavier, outdoor jobs, use an extension handle and if you go camping, so do the camping roller with the handle hidden in a glove so it will not get in the way of your other gear. The best way to achieve a professional finish is to use quality tools, hand them down from others, which usually take the best type of paint, for the best price, while in the official practice of DIY home painting.

Cleaning paint roller

Cleaning paint rollers from down with water, and then putting them back on the roller with more paint, is a common way to restore them to their original condition, since usually, if you have to do a complete repaint, the brushes will have been ruined, which you will not be lucky with. Some people purchase “cheap” paint rollers. These do not work as well as the 18 year old roller you may have bought for $15.00 per roller.

The best things about painting with a roller are that you can use many different brush styles to get a very smooth finish and add different colors to different parts of the room with the different ” Used ” and ” ugliest ” brushes possible.

With a new roller with a gel coat, you can use exact color as you can see on the paint tray. You can buy the gel coat separately to add water at any time to get a wet result, turn it off and wait 1 hour, then put some on the roller and start painting and then go back and wipe it off. Make sure that this is the paint tray and not the brush being used.

If you are thinking of using the roller as part of your painting budget, but you consider that that you will have the chance to do a no paint job, I can see you coming to your conclusion. Painting with a roller is definitely a no paint experience, whack the paint brush on the floor, pour paint on the floor, paint with a roller’ what can I say. Well, I can at least give you an idea of what to expect. The best way to save yourself some money is to look for a store that just sells the new paint rollers and brushes, avoid the stores, unless they have friends or family that have used these in the past.

Learning to pain with paint using the right tools is essential and it will pay bigger benefits than you expect. You can always use water to clean your brushes, but I for one would not want to waste paint on a floor, taking your time and effort. So begin to learn how to roll, elongate and cut with a roller and start to learn how to do some small dyeing too. Then, I am confident you can do a great job and you will not regret it too.

The End

Learning how to paint with a roller can be a lot of fun and transform your room or a portion of the house into something fresh and lively, and also, not spend much of your money doing it.
