Cleaning tips for the home – simple tricks for a clean and comfortable home

A well-cleaned home does not require more hours of cleaning, but better habits. When you take a preventive approach and use the right products, both everyday cleaning and deep cleaning become much easier.

Everyday cleaning – small efforts that make a difference

By dealing with the worst of it right away, you prevent dirt and buildup from accumulating:

- Wipe kitchen counters and the stove after cooking.

- Quickly wipe down the sink and mirrors in the bathroom.

- Vacuum or sweep the areas that receive the most wear, even if it is only for a few minutes.

Tip: Our starter kit contains soap spray for "every room"; using separate, designated cleaning products for the kitchen, bathroom, and other rooms not only reduces the risk of cross-contamination but also makes daily cleaning easier.

If there is a bottle of bathroom soap in the bathroom, it is quick and easy to wipe down the bathroom porcelain while you are already there. If everything is kept in a cleaning cupboard elsewhere in the home, it is easy for cleaning to pile up into a major project.


Deep cleaning – when it is time to go deeper. During weekly cleaning or more extensive cleaning sessions, it pays to work systematically:

- Kitchen: Clean the stove, sink, and kitchen cabinet doors where grease easily sticks.
Tips: Take out the rubbish every day, empty the dishwasher, and make it a habit never to leave dishes in the sink when you go to bed. A clean countertop and an empty rubbish bin are a very good start to the day.

- Bathrooms: Keep on top of soap residue and limescale to prevent buildup. Use limescale remover regularly on shower walls and other areas where needed. Leave it to work for about 20 minutes, then remove it with the coarse side of a sponge.

- Floors: Adapt cleaning to the material – wood, tile, and stone benefit from fatty soap. Plastic and other synthetic materials require only a very small amount of soap.

Natural cleaning that works

Soapa is a tried-and-tested cleaning product that works throughout much of the home – from floors to kitchens and bathrooms. It cleans effectively, is gentle on surfaces, you, the climate, and the environment, and is ideally used as part of a more sustainable cleaning routine.

Always “maxing out” with strong chemicals that require extra ventilation, gloves, etc. (be sure to read the fine print on the back of your cleaning products) is unnecessary! 
Chemicals can be great, but they should be used where they are really needed. If a simple cleaning problem can be solved in a simple way, that is preferable.
