Bicycles

Bicycles may be as easy as cleaning your car maybe even easier. It all depends on how dirty your bicycle is. mountain bikes and road bikes use about the same techniques when it comes to cleaning them. Except mountain bikes are most likely to be more dirty.

Many bikes can be easily washed with hose. For more serious stains use a brush and a bit of dish soap to scrub off dirt or stains.

Blankets

Blankets can be easily put in the washer machine with other blankets and put in the dryer. Too have extra care hand wash them and let them air dry. When it comes to hand washing you could use the regular detergent you use to machine- wash them.

Blinds

No matter what your blinds are made of you should always dust them as the first step of your cleaning. After you have dusted your blinds you want to go over it with a vacuum with a brush attachment.
