Protect Your Skin While Cleaning

Cleaning is hard work. Now that the warm weather is here to stay, have you settled back into your routine? If you have, have you noticed anything… Off? How about with your skin? The chemicals and cleaners we use to keep our homes spotless can be pretty hard on our bodies. After all, they’re hard on grime and mineral buildup, too. So if you’re using cleaning products regularly – And you should be – You should take steps to protect your skin when you do. This article will cover three ways to protect your skin as you keep your home sanitary and clean.

First Step

Ventilate! Run the vent and open a window if you’re cleaning the bathroom. Get a cross breeze going if you can and ensure adequate airflow. Many chemicals are irritating the longer you’re exposed to them. Some chemical vapors are enough to irritate your skin, such as bleach vapor. Next, grab a pair of latex, rubber, or vinyl gloves. Whatever glove you prefer will be better than no gloves at all.

It would help if you were careful not to let your hands get too wet when cleaning, too. Water getting into your gloves is no good. Your wet skin can cause the epidermis to tighten and constrict, causing familiar wrinkles… But also straining the bonds between your skin cells. The cleaning products you use can also damage your body’s natural oils. This can leave you with dry, cracking skin.

Stay Hydrated

When people get to cleaning, it can seem like nothing else matters. Supermoms and housemakers of all kinds are known for their great work ethic, after all. If you get swept up in the cleaning spirit, be sure you remember to drink water as you go. Please wash your hands (and dry them!) and sip from a water bottle as you clean. Water helps your skin stay elastic and firm rather than thin and tight.

It would be best if you also moisturized after cleaning or any time you use hot water. The heat makes your skin porous, which can lead to it drying out. When your skin is in this state, it rapidly absorbs moisture. As a result, more water will sweep out your skin’s natural oils and lubrications, leaving it dryer than when you started. A lotion with Aloe Vera can help prevent this.

Try Natural Cleaners

You don’t always need harsh cleaners to get the job done. Distilled white vinegar is great at general cleaning, and mixing it with baking soda can create a powerful compound. Rub this compound onto surfaces, and then rinse clean and pat dry. You can mix bicarbonate soda with lemon juice to create an acidic cleaner that works great on metals but is gentle on your skin. Our website has more great homemade cleaning tips. You can make a surprising amount of things with what you have available at home. Frequently, it works better than what you get at the store, too.

Dani Fresh Maids is hands down the best cleaning service I’ve come across after going through a few over the last 5 years. Three ladies showed up on time at 8 am sharp. Professional clothing, masks, and plenty of cleaning supplies. I appreciated the little things that were cleaned that I never thought about. I loved the little touch of the button stamp on the creased toilet paper. My home never looked so good. I am very impressed and I highly recommend their service. 10 stars

Monique

V-E-R-Y professional and E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y thorough! If I could give the owner Ellen more stars, I certainly would do so. Ellen and her crew arrived as scheduled for the deep clean service. Upon their arrival and witnessing the professional and courteous manner in which Ellen directed her personnel, I knew right off Chosen Sani Fresh Maids would make my house sparkle but the end result was even better than I anticipated. They cleaned every square inch of my house, baseboards, blinds,cabinets,nasty,dead bugs on window sills,grime caught between tiles, giant dust bunnies,smudged windows, 4 tedious French doors completed with a zillion tiny window panes and EVEN THE INSIDE OF THE TRASHCANS… I was so impressed that I hired her company for a regular monthly service. Hat’s off to Ellen and her crew at Chosen Sani Fresh Maids and a big, HUGE.. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Natalie

They perform excellent service and very detailed cleaning. I would recommend others to try their service. Both take pride in what they do to please their customer.
