How to Take Revenge on Your Landlord


If you're living on rent, and your landlord is mean and rude to you, then why don't you take revenge on him/her when your tenancy period is over? There are lots of interesting tricks which you can use against him. And don't worry about your security deposit because you'll be long gone with your money when your host realises what you've done.

When I'm saying to take revenge on your mean and greedy landlord, I don't mean to beat him, or to destroy his property. This won't be in your favour at all, and you might even go to jail. The revenge I'm talking about is quite smart and won't cost you anything. Here is a trick, which I learned during my career as an end of tenancy cleaning London specialist:

You need a shrimp, fish, or some other sea inhabitant. Clean the whole place, if you want you can hire a professional to freshen it up. It has to be absolutely spotless � no stains, no dirt, nothing suspicious. Hide the fish/shrimp in some kitchen cabinet or somewhere else, so that it can't be seen. You must leave the surprise right before you meet your host to receive your security deposit. He will check the place, you will move out, but the surprise will remain there until his next visit. It will start staling and smelling bad, and the whole place will be filled up with a terrible stench. Your landlord will have to use the services of move out cleaners London and will be charged as guilty for that.

You can find various other ways to take revenge on your landlord on the Internet, but I advise that you don't trust them all. Some of the ideas there, as to paint everything in the rented property in black, might send you in jail, and you probably don't want that.

The Best Airline Snacks

The recent economic hardship that has engulfed much of the developed world has also taken its toll on the airline industry.
Not only that airfares have gone up do to sky high fuel prices and increased insurance and maintenance costs but the passenger menu has also been the subject of some serious cuts. If one thought the shrinking of seats so that more passengers can be crammed on board was bad enough, then what can one say about the diminishing amount of food being served on flights these days, water has always been scarce on long flights so leave it out of the matter for now. The overall trend is that the current state of air travel is nowhere near the golden age of flying, not even what it was fifteen years ago but much worse and unappealing.

To be served a decent meal on an airplane was a regular thing back in the day, and one didn�t have to be business class passenger to get some normal food. Nowadays food and snacks also appear to have fallen on hard times, their small amount or their total lack on some flights can leave people with a really bad impression of the airline in general. Luckily, some industries are still firmly on the ground and are keeping up the good work, once you return home you can put this to the test and call for some domestic cleaners in Bexley is serviced seven days a week so your home can be cleaned right after you touch-down at your own convenience. 

Local companies offer a wide range of quality house cleaners Havering residents have taken full advantage of quality and affordable service range. If you are looking to spot an airline which still cares for its passengers and tries to do its best by them, you will have to do some serious looking but in general British Airways show some good manners and serve plenty of snacks on all their flights. Jetblue also seem to be on the right track along with Singapore Airlines. Air France has good breakfast as well.

How Often Should You Get Professional Carpet Cleaning?

Can you imagine your living room without the warm and cosy carpet you placed in the middle? It looks very different and this feeling of warmness and home is missing. Would you take the risk to lose your carpet only because you haven't cleaned it often enough so to preserve it? We bet you wouldn't and probably the very thought of this makes you ask yourself the question how often to get professional carpet cleaning.

Before we answer your question, we need to know several important facts about your house and residents. The state of your carpet depends on many factors such as the traffic it receives, whether you have cat or dog, or even baby in the house, etc. Once you have in mind those little details, you will be able to give yourself the answer of the question.

Pets and Small Children in the House

In case you have small children or pets, you need to take care of the carpets more often. The same refers to smokers living there. The carpet cleaning is obligatory at least twice a year because the pets' hair and smoke can get deeper in the fabrics the time passes by. The longer you wait, the harder it is. They are not only ruining the fabric but may cause serious health problems such as asthma or allergy. So how often to get professional carpet cleaning in order to avoid this? The answer is at least once every six months.

Living on Your Own

Carpet cleaning can occur rarely in this case. Again it is important to think of the traffic your carpets receive as you may live on your own but invite guests (and throw parties as well) every day. Steam cleaning once a year is more than enough to remove all of the dirt that get stuck in the fibres. And how often to get professional carpet cleaning if you call your friends quite often? Not more than twice a year and only if you call them that often as three or four times a week.

It is important not to forget that the professional cleaning is something different than the regular carpet cleaning you have to do by yourself on a regular basis. No matter how hard your cleaners try, they won't be able to remove all the dust your carpet has collected for six months. So, vacuum the rug regularly and everything will be fine.

How to Deal With Difficult Tenants


If you have ever let a property, you have probably had to deal with difficult tenants at least once in your life. It is very unpleasant to have job with stupid and bad-mannered people, but sometimes one doesn't have any other choice.

Here are some tips on how to deal with difficult tenants:
  • If your renter doesn't want to clean your property in the end of his/her tenancy period, or to hire a move out cleaning London specialist to do it, keep his/her rental deposit. You have the right to do that, and he/she has signed for that in your rental contract.
  • If your tenant refuses to move out before his/her deadline, call the police. The law is always on the side of the property owner in such situations.
  • If your occupant makes too much noise, and gives you trouble with your neighbours, ask him/her to stop. And if he/she doesn't, ask him/her to move out.
  • Make surprise visits to the property, if you don't trust your renter. This way he/she won't know when you're going there, and will always behave.

If you want to avoid the situation with the difficult tenant, then don't hire random people. Always make an interview with all of the potential candidates, so to get an idea of their personalities and characters. Don't let your place to anyone too tempered, or to anyone who has bad manners. Such people will cause you trouble.

It doesn't matter what renter you will find, always take a rental deposit in the beginning of his/her tenancy. This way you won't have to pay for the services of end of tenancy cleaners London or for any reparations with your money.

Good luck finding the perfect tenant.

How to Clean Exploded Eggs in the Microwave



If you have never tried to boil or cook an egg in the microwave here are some tips to prevent you from having to clean up the mess afterwards, since they tend to explode if you stick a whole egg inside the oven.


The reason for the exploding part is fairly obvious, for those who have passed the fifth grade, but still � the microwaves heat things from inside out. More importantly, they heat faster things that have more water molecules. The egg shell has few to none water in it, but the insides � the yolk, has quite a lot. This will cause the inside to heat up rapidly, expand and explode, cracking the shell. You will have a huge mess in the microwave, an the smell will be even worse.

Cooking eggs in the oven is possible, but you have to know a few rules. Alas you will have some serious oven cleaning to do on your hands. Never put a whole egg in the oven is the basic one, and I have just explained above the �why� part. Now, when preparing omelettes and scrambled eggs in the microwave � yes, it is possible � you have to break the yolks surface, before you begin cooking. If you don't it will still explode, causing devastation all around it. Cooking eggs in the microwave is done on the highest possible temperature setting, for a little less than 2 minutes, depending on the condition you want them in.

If, however, you have already done a mistake, and have a gutted egg inside your oven, here is what oven cleaners Kidlington advise you to do. Take a damp sponge with a few drop of dish soap on it, and a bowl of warm water, and wipe the egg remains off the microwave walls, ceiling, floor and the door. You should remove the rotating plate from inside and put it in the dishwasher while you do so, or you can wash it by hand afterwards. Once the remains are gone, put the dish back in and fill a heat proofed cup with about 10-15 ml of white vinegar. Put the microwave on a medium setting and heat the vinegar for a few minutes, making it boil. The evaporating vinegar will deodorize the microwave and remove most, if not all of the odours from the vault.

How to remove stains from velvet upholstery

1. Try to remove as much liquid from the upholstery as possible. If the spill is on a cushion or other removable piece, shake to remove excess.
2. Gently soak up any additional liquid from the surface of the fabric, using a dry absorbent cloth. Be very careful not to add too much pressure, as you might push the moisture further into the velvet.
3. Mix a small amount of warm water and a few drops of dish washing detergent in a bowl. Cover the bowl and shake the mixture to create suds. Using a soft cloth, apply the suds to the stain, taking great care not to over wet the fabric. Continue to dab the stain lightly until stain is lifted. If this process doesn't remove the stain, use a dry cleaning solvent.
4. Follow the directions on the dry cleaning solvent packaging for mixing instructions. Apply a small amount of solution on a cloth and dab into the stain in the same manner as the suds mixture.
5. Allow fabric air dry. If you wish to speed up the drying process, use a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer on low heat and hold about five inches from the fabric. Keep the dryer moving so you do not damage the fabric.
6. Use a steamer if the velvet has lost lustre during the cleaning process. Move the steamer nozzle across velvet at a moderate pace going with the nap.
7. After the velvet is completely dry, brush it in the direction of the nap, using a soft bristled hair brush or velvet brush.

How to clean baby spit-up from a couch

1. Fill a small bowl with hot water and a good squirt of Palmolive dish soap. Mix it up so that you have soapy hot water.
2. Identify the stains on your couch. Start with the biggest and most obvious baby spit-up stains. Getting those out of the way will dramatically improve the overall appearance of your couch.
3. Dip your old toothbrush in the soapy water and then dab the stain. Continue to do this until your stain is good and wet. Then start scrubbing with your toothbrush.
4. After you've scrubbed the spot and it looks like most of the spit up is gone, take your dish towel and dry the spot - this will also help pick up any loose debris from the area.
5. Repeat on all of your spit-up stains.
