Hi there and welcome to another part of this "cleaning my son's room" episode.
Basically we started with sort of organizing all his clothes, sorting out
his wardrobe. We have cleaned the mirrors now and today I'm going to clean the
walls. On another day I'm going to get to the blinds and the fan and that will be
the next time I need to redo his floors and stuff like that. In my life, it is just
like yours, I'm busy. My house is not perfectly clean all the time. I'm a
working mum and so things get done as they get done and sometimes that happens
in multiple stages. But anyway one of the best things that I've got, and you may
have seen some of my videos before on flat mops. Flat mops are awesome when it
comes to cleaning walls and ceilings and difficult to reach places. So what I've
got down here is just this bucket of detergent and water. I just used that
bucket actually when I made this previous video of when I cleaned the the
mirrors so I can reuse this. It's still clean so I'm... I'm just wetting this
sponge (not a spong actually - it's a microfiber pad) for the flat mop and I'm squeezing it out quite well as well. Now my son
actually turned his bed around. He likes to do that from time to time... oh I can
just see that that paintings a bit crooked but anyway we'll fix that up so
what you can't may be able to see is these dark lines across across his wall
there when his bed head used to be and he was touching the walls and things
like that. Now I've painted most of the walls in
this house so I can tell you when you've been the person to go around and paint
your whole house you want to make sure you try and keep
paint and the walls in good condition. The other thing is something that people
often neglect when they're cleaning. They forget to look at the walls and cleaning
the walls yet it makes such a difference when you do do it. Now this method is
really quick. I've just got a little bit of organic multipurpose spray here
and I'm just going to spray the area that needs to be cleaned I then have
this flat mop here now I bought this one not so long ago from Bunnings and I
quite like this actually. I'll show you. I think it cost about $35 Australian so
but the good thing about it is that it's double-sided so you can clean with
using one area and if that side gets too too dirty you can actually just flop it
over. The other thing is, sometimes when you're cleaning with the flat mop
it will sometimes sort of clip back anyway so you've got a lot more
protection. You don't have any sort of plasticy bits or edge bits that might
potentially damage a wall or a ceiling or anything like that. So I do like this.
It's a good idea. The other thing is of course it's got an extension handle so
you can use it to reach places and I could have even used that too to get to
the tops of cleaning the mirrors if I didn't have that other little device
that I had. But anyway watch me and you'll see how quick this is.
So I pretty much in that one one wash has gotten all the marks off
that wall. I'm actually going to just rinse out my little thing (the microfibre pad) and give it
another go over ... but I actually I don't know whether you could
see in the video but I can easily get the skirting boards on top of the
skirting boards and over the skirting boards with this. Actually I
will just keep going so I can show you that I can then also get to places like
this
Oops. Now you're always going to get plenty of marks around where the light
switches are
You can even use it to clean doors and things like that. So as you can see that
only took a couple of minutes and I've cleaned quite a considerable part of the
walls. I need to move his bed out of the way so that I can get to the other parts
and you know it's it's quick. It's really good. These flat mops, if you don't have
one you really need to go and buy one because they are so useful and they're
really good at getting in underneath furniture and things like that because
they're so so slim. Okay they're also good to like to use if you've got
highly polished wooden floors where you might want to mop and clean the floors
and then run over them with a dry flat mop just to get all the moisture off
them so that they don't dry with any watermarks and they've got a really nice
finish on them. So yes they're very, very useful and I highly recommend it. So
thank you for watching and keep an eye out for the next part of cleaning
this room. Exciting stuff isn't it? Have a good day.
