Ways To Wash Your Car – Which Is Best?

Whether or not your car is your pride and joy or just a means to get from A to B, it needs to be well looked after. Looking after your car ranges from regular services to regular cleans, inside and out.

In today’s world we all want things fast – next day shipping, click and collect groceries, drive through car wash. Fast is convenient but is fast always best?

There are so many options when it comes to cleaning your car, you could do it yourself or you can have it washed – which method is best? Doing it yourself, drive through car wash or having a trained Jim’s Car Detailer come to your home or office to clean your car inside and out? Let’s look into it.

Mobile Car Detailing

Having an experienced car detailer means all the hard to reach, out of sight places are cleaned
Your car is cleaned inside and out while you sit back and relax (or work!)
You can be assured the highest quality products and equipment are being used on your car
Having a professional detailer will cost more than a simple car wash
You are protected by the Jim’s 100% satisfaction guarantee and liability insurance
Mobile car detailing offers more than just a car clean – cut & polish, headlight restoration, leather protection, light scratch/scuff removal. Just ask us how

Doing It yourself

It will take a considerable amount of time
You need to ensure you have all the right products on hand
You will be able to work hard to get all the build up grime and dirt

Drive through car wash

These machines are designed to run through a sequence and may miss parts of your car
Although they are designed to be gentle these machines can damage your paint work – where available use touchless car washes
Your car may be left with water marks as these machines have set drying times meaning you could leave with a car not fully dry
As these machines can not “see” the dirt on your car you may be left with spots and dirt still visible
These machines offer convenience and speed

So you’ve weighed up the pros and the cons of how to clean your car – what did you decide? A spotless car inside and out while you’re at work or sitting at home? Hours of hard working cleaning both the inside and outside? Or a quick drive through car wash that leaves the outside of your car mostly clean?

Things You Don’t Clean But You Should

Things You Don’t Clean But You Should

We all do our best at keeping our home tidy and germ free – but dirt and grime have a habit of getting into places we don’t think to clean. Here are a few spots I bet you haven’t cleaned in god knows when…

Dish Racks

To ensure your dishes are truly clean, you should make sure your dish rack isn’t transferring old food or germs onto your newly clean dishes! Tip:

Avoid letting water pool in the drip tray if you have one as it is a breeding ground for bacteria.
Washing your dish rack with hot and soapy water weekly will ensure your clean dishes stay clean!

Remote

Think about how many hands touch your remote and how many things those hands have touched that day… Gross we know. Studies have shown remotes can carry more bacteria than a toilet seat… Okay you get the picture, we’ll stop now. Tip:

Wipe down your remote with an antibacterial wipe at the end of the day or at least once or twice a week.

Bath Tub Toys

When we think bath time we think clean right? But if we take a minute to think of how many times bath toys sit in bathwater time and time again you can imagine how many germs would be living on them. Tip:

Wash all your toys in a mesh bag and throw them into the washing machine on a cold cycle.

Your Phone

Your phone goes everywhere with you and anything your hands come in contract with is more than likely going to go all over your phone. Now if the germs from your hands transfer back and forth it’s not too big of a deal as we are constantly washing our hands, however, we also hold our phones to our faces multiple times a day and this is where it gets gross… Tip:

A quick wipe with a microfibre cloth and disinfectant or a disinfected wipe at the end of each day.

Yoga Mats

Yoga has many benefits to your health however, your current germ infested yoga mat may be hindering it. Think how much sweat, dust and dirt gets transferred from the floor that your mat comes in constant contact with… Tip:

A spray with disinfectant and a rub down with a cloth or paper towel at the end of each session will help you reach new heights with your health.

Adopting these small habits will only take up a small part of your day but will do wonders for your health.

Calcium Build up on Shower Screens

By Mia Piotrowski | Uncategorised | No Comments

Calcium Build up and Lime Scale

Have you ever noticed the white, hard to remove stains on your shower screens and doors? Lime Scale or calcium is what causes the white build up that occurs on your shower screens/doors and around your taps. or in simpler terms it’s the annoying stuff that nothing seem to be able to get rid of!

What is calcium build up or lime scale?

When water evaporates from glass, it leaves behind minerals such as calcium and magnesium resulting in white spots or residue. Depending on where you live will depend on the severity of calcium/lime scale build up you experience. For example, northern parts of Australia experience a higher percentage of minerals in their water compared to those in southern parts of Australia resulting in more regular and serve build up.

Is it harmful?

No – Lime scale or calcium build up is not harmful to your health, but it does decrease the attractiveness of your shower (and nobody wants to get clean in a dirty shower). However, lime scale and calcium build up is problematic for other reasons; these dried up minerals give residues of soap something extra to stick to, causing the build-up of soap scum to occur much faster, and we all know how menacing soap scum is.

How do you get rid of it?

While you could use chemicals to remove the white spots, in many cases, the natural products you have at home do an even better job! Home solutions such as vinegar, lemon juice and water can be highly successful in removing these stains and even better they aren’t damaging to your health like many chemical products.

Use a spray bottle with your mixture of lemon juice and vinegar, spray generously on effected areas and leave for 15 minutes.
Wash off with a microfibre cloth and water.
For tough stains repeat process and scrub sports with an old tooth brush after 15 minutes of soaking.

For some, this tedious task is not high on their priority list – if this is you feel free to call Jim’s Cleaning for us to take away your stress and leave you with squeaky clean shower screens/window/taps %%PHONE_NUMBER%% or Request A Free Quote Online 24/7
