Practical cleaning tips

What we write about here

• Kitchen — oven, extractor hood, fridge, tiles and joints, smells.
• Furniture and textiles — sofa, mattress, carpet, wine, coffee and grease stains.
• Windows and balconies — streaks, mosquito screens, sills, washing in winter.
• Bathroom — limescale, tile joints, taps, mould.
• Organising the cleaning — how often, how long it takes, what maintenance cleaning means and how to work out the price yourself.

How these differ from the blog

Here you get short answers to practical "how to" questions: step by step, with real timings and no promise that one miracle product replaces the work. The blog carries longer pieces about the service, prices, Kyiv districts and how our work is organised.

Every tip ends with an honest boundary: when the job really is faster and cheaper to do yourself, and when it is not. In the second case there is a link to the relevant service, without any pressure.

Where these tips come from

From bookings. We have cleaned in Kyiv since 2016, and most of what is here is what our cleaners do every day: the order to work through a room, what actually shifts old grease, why dust returns the day after a renovation. Where something cannot be removed at all, we say so.
