Cleaning 101: Cleaning a Flooded Household

By -
I love it when it rains as less dirt and dust gets in and home cleaning for me is much easier. The cool and fresh wind is also refreshing. The rain helps me to conserve water as I do not have to water my plants and can save on electric consumption too. However, there are also cons that the rainy days can bring.

The dilemma and burden of cleaning areas of homes soaked in floodwater is one of the extraordinary situations that most Filipinos tackle during the monsoon season. When too much heavy rains fall, floodwater arises, soaking vehicles and homes in most areas around the Metro.



Inundation is contaminated with different disease-causing germs, exposing every family member to various host of infections thus, tough cleaning is needed. To name some of the water-borne diseases we can get from the dirty floodwater are diarrhea, flu, and the deadly leptospirosis. Proper cleaning and sanitation is required to get rid and control the spread of such infections. 




Upon floodwater subsided immediately start to clear out the mud and other dirt left. Start from top to bottom. Clean soaked areas and surfaces first with soap and water – walls, floors, kitchen counters and other inundated areas. Yet, make sure to turn off the main electrical switch before doing so.

Sort out things and stuffs which can still be usable and discard those which can pose health hazards to your family.

According to health professionals, soap and water is not enough to clean household areas and surfaces, especially your food counters, kitchen and eating utensils.  It is best recommended to wash and sanitize them with a disinfectant solution.

Moreover, we can get rid of mold and mildew which can cause bronchial diseases and allergies to harbor under the sinks and cabinets affected by flood waters through sanitizing with a deodorizing and disinfectant solution.

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
