All about dry cleaning
Wet cleaning allows you to keep the room clean. But at the same time it must be preceded by dry processing. Only in this case can a good and high-quality result be achieved. Today we will analyze what kind of tools and devices will be needed to carry out this cleaning, how to properly perform it.
What it is?
Dry cleaning is considered an intermediate method, in which order is established without unnecessary energy consumption and without water.
With such processing of premises, as a rule, they vacuum, remove surface dirt with a dry soft cloth, ventilate the rooms in the house.
But many contaminants simply cannot be removed without the use of water. In addition, some of the dust will not remain on the soft rag, it will begin to scatter in the air, which will require dry cleaning much more often. Sometimes such treatments are performed daily.
When dry cleaning, proceed as follows.
- Remove dust from horizontal surfaces, lighting equipment, books, decorative items, heating radiators (it is better to do this with special napkins and brooms). Products intended for such cleaning are capable of attracting and retaining dust well.
- Remove dust from upholstered furniture, curtains, textiles. If possible, some things can be ventilated outdoors.
- Vacuum floors and carpets.
In addition, dry cleaning can also involve putting things in their places, putting things in order in a sleeping place, in closets, on a desktop, as well as taking out the trash and airing the room.
Inventory and means
To carry out such a cleaning, it is worth preparing everything you need in advance.First of all, you should purchase brushes, a mop, a vacuum cleaner, as well as special sweeping devices. All dust and cobwebs can be easily removed from wall coverings with a mop, vacuum cleaner or brush.
Prefabricated mops may be the best option. They make it easy to replace, if necessary, individual structural elements.
But at the same time, you will need to separately select a suitable nozzle. Most often, durable plastic platforms are used, equipped with soft microfiber that will not scratch the material.
Often in hardware stores, you can find whole sets designed for this cleaning. Such kits already include all the necessary products. It will be quite difficult to clean large areas with such devices, therefore in such cases it is better to use a vacuum cleaner or a special sweeping device.
Devices that do not imply a cleaning function are intended only for dry cleaning of the room. Inside these machines are bags or containers that collect all dust and dirt.
Models of vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning of premises can be bag and bagless. The first option is supplied with disposable and reusable bags. Trash bags are usually made of durable materials with micro-holes to trap even the finest dirt. In this case, dust and debris will settle on the inner surface of the bags.
Bagless models are supplied with plastic containers for collecting dust. If necessary, the compartment can be easily pulled out and fixed back. Garbage enters the container, and the air passes through the filtration system and is sent to the outside.
After each cleaning, it is necessary to shake out the entire contents of the container in the trash bin, and thoroughly rinse the compartment with water and dry it.
When choosing such a unit, it is imperative to make sure of the quality of the filtration system.
