Students living in
hostel detest cleaning! Think of a bachelor living pod, you immediately picture
untidy rooms with unorganized stuff. Most students are pre-occupied with their
studies to bother about their room while
the rest are just too lazy!
We have a
few tips that would make cleaning a lot simpler, dedicated to the smart yet
lazy students.
Cleaning the Carpet
Do you
have a pet? Is your roommate losing a
lot of hair? Dust and hair are a pain to remove from the carpet. The
straightforward solution of using a vacuum cleaner poses the threat of the
cleaner being clogged! Worst-case scenario you could even damage your vacuum
cleaner.
Housing Corner Tip – Use a squeegee! It works! The hair and dust
balls are easier to remove with a squeegee which costs much less than a new
vacuum cleaner.
Removing stains
Carpets and drapes are prone to stains in a bachelor pad. A
party or a movie night is bound to leave marks of awesomeness all over the
place! Long hours of washing is not going to be of any use and dry cleaners or carpet cleaners are
too costly to be a frequent solution.
Housing Corner Tip – Try baking soda. Spread it on the stain and
let it cure overnight. Vacuum later to see the magic!
Smart Duster
Dust is
easy to remove – almost any cloth or material can be used to clean dust.
However, most dusters unsettle the dust and cause allergies. Tailor-made
dusters for this purpose are costly and also cannot be reused all the time.
Some people use tissues or toilet paper which leave fibers behind.
Housing Corner Tip – Use old regular whites or a coffee filter
as a duster. These capture dust without dispersing and are cheaper!
