April 2025 Cleaning Tips & Guides

April was a busy month for Dandy Fox. We tackled everything from green‑friendly cleaners to the nitty‑gritty of end‑of‑tenancy chores. Whether you’re moving out, fighting post‑construction dust, or just looking for a safer detergent, you’ll find a quick fix in our roundup.

Eco‑Friendly Hacks & Sustainable Products

Going green doesn’t mean sacrificing power. Our piece on the "Most Hygienic Thing to Wash With" broke down natural cleaners that kill germs without harming skin or the planet. We compared tea‑tree oil, baking soda, and a few plant‑based detergents, giving you a clear “use‑this” list.

We also highlighted the top eco‑friendly laundry detergents of 2025. The guide explains why plant‑based formulas beat harsh chemicals and how biodegradable packaging helps reduce waste. If you’ve ever wondered if a detergent is truly green, the article points out the three ingredients to watch.

For those who love a DIY approach, the "Why Baking Soda and Vinegar Are Your Mattress's Best Friends" post showed how a simple sprinkle and spray can neutralise odours and freshen fabric. No pricey sprays needed – just pantry staples and a bit of elbow grease.

Tenancy, Deep‑Clean & Pressure‑Washing Solutions

Moving out? Our "Is Limescale Fair Wear and Tear?" guide spells out what landlords expect and which tricks keep you from losing your deposit. We walk through quick descaling hacks that work on taps, showers, and even hidden pipe areas.

Baseboards often get overlooked. In the "Does Molly Maid Clean Baseboards?" article we revealed what professional crews actually include, plus a handful of cheap tools to give those dusty ledges a shine yourself.

Construction dust can take over a home fast. The "How to Remove Dust from Air After Construction" post shares three practical methods: a high‑efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum, wet‑mopping techniques, and a simple DIY air‑purifier using a box fan and a furnace filter. Follow the steps and you’ll breathe easier without splurging on expensive equipment.

Pressure washing questions popped up a lot. We answered them with two straight‑to‑the‑point guides. "How Much PSI Is Needed to Pressure Wash a Driveway?" breaks down the sweet spot for removing oil stains without cracking concrete, while "Is 2000 PSI Enough to Clean a Concrete Slab?" explains nozzle choices and surface‑type tweaks that get the job done safely.

Finally, for window lovers, the "Best Formula for Cleaning Windows" article compares a classic vinegar‑water mix with a commercial streak‑free solution, telling you exactly which one to grab for a spotless view.
