— when it’s raining outside

Masterlist.

I know it’s been a while, but I’m falling back in love with this Bakugou specifically.

Warnings: none.

Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x f!reader.

Word Count: 1.1k.

Regardless of Pro-Hero Dynamight being one of the most successful fire quirk users in Japan, his agency isn’t exempt from Health and Safety. Some may argue that his team are far more strict compared to the likes of Shouto’s building which is only a few blocks away, and it’s definitely not because the Number Two Hero almost set fire to an entire floor when testing out new grenade designs.

But since that incident, there have been consistent fire drills weekly to ensure that the building and its staff are protected. Along with new fire safety robots that have been deployed to ensure that each individual makes it out safely.

“Another dumb fuckin’ tick box exercise.” Bakugou would always say, and he was probably right. The Pro-Hero alone could probably rescue each person trapped inside the building if something did happen, but it’s always good to be precautious right?

Or so you would say, until the fire alarms were blaring on a particularly bleary Monday while you were trying to unjam the photocopier. Groaning at the abrasive noise as you debated running back to your desk for your coat (and coffee) before being forced out of the warmth of the agency into the torrential downpour outside.

“Do not panic! We are here for your safety.” You scrunched your nose at the voice that was arguably worse than the alarm as you turned to face the fire Marshall robots which were now skimming the floor. The red flashing lights swirling angrily as the computerised smile on the machine that was surely there to calm you did the exact opposite.

“Stop. In case of emergency do not take the elevator.” The robot continued to blare. The designated fire drills always happened on a Friday afternoon (conveniently when Dynamight left for his evening patrol), so you wondered whether this may be a real incident as you made your way towards the stairs.

You had further to go compared to anyone else, working on the top floor alone with Dynamight so the lower you descended you began to see other employees— some lucky enough to be carrying coats and umbrellas as you followed them further. The noise from the alarm echoed in the hall as it mixed with the chatter, wondering what had happened and if they were safe. But at that moment you were more irritated that you’d be going outside in nothing but a thin cotton shirt and trousers.

The cold was bitter as you finally made it to the bottom floor of the sky scraper, thankful you wouldn’t have to ascend them after as you stepped into the heavy rain. Wrapping your arms around yourself to try and provide some comfort as you tried to look for any space under the shelter surrounding the building. The majority which was already taken by the employees that worked on the lower floors, huddled together and squeezed under umbrellas to shield themselves from the wet. Although, there were plenty like you who had not been fortunate enough to grab something on their way down and were just as exposed to the elements.

Resigning to defeat you huddled as close to a neighbouring building as you could, thankful it at least shielded you enough from the wild tunnel Dynamight’s Agency created to prevent being pelted with rain.

But it was still freezing.

Shimmying from toe to toe as you tried to keep yourself warm, watching as Backdraft turned up with the local fire service to scout the building.

“What’s goin’ on?” You heard a voice behind you as you turned to face your boss standing there, gym bag slung over his shoulder and a black hoodie pulled over his messy blond spikes.

“Shouldn’t you be saving us from the fire?” You laughed.

“Shut up, dumbass.” He scoffed, before his voice softened, “Where’s your coat?”

“In there.” You nodded towards his agency as he shook his head.

“Why didn’t you grab it?”

“Those stupid robots wouldn’t let me,” You pouted, now so wet you could no longer feel the rain dampening your skin.

Bakugou’s lip curled into the faintest hint of a smile at this, unbothered about the rain as he dumped his gym bag to the ground in favour of reaching back to tug his hoodie up and over his head. The movement pulled his black shirt up along with it, and you shamelessly ogled the exposed skin as you followed the wispy hairs of his happy trail disappear beneath black sweatpants. The hem of his boxers peeking out from under them as you felt a heat rise to your cheeks and flurry through you all the way down between your thighs.

Turning your head just in time as he pulled his shirt back down over his stomach before holding the hoodie out to you, pushing it into your side.

“What are you doing?” You looked down at the hoodie before glancing up at him.

“Put it on.” He replied bluntly.

“But you’ll get wet—”

“Put it on.” He ignored your objection, reaching up to ruffle his messy hair as the rain now began to dampen it.

“Thank you.” You murmured, instantly feeling the relief as you tugged it over your head.

The heat that radiated from Bakugou’s body now encapsulating you as you pulled your arms through the sleeves, burying your nose in the fabric as you inhaled the scent of him. A mixture of sweat and cologne as you almost forgot that you were standing outside in the pouring rain. No longer in a rush to get back inside the warm building as you let yourself be surrounded by him.

“Is it a drill?” You asked as he pulled his phone out of his pocket to begin calling a number.

“No idea.” He rasped while holding it up to his ear.

You tried to listen in on the conversation but the mixture of wind, chatter and the alarms in the distance made it difficult to decipher what was being said on the other line.

“It’s a false alarm.” Bakugou scoffed as he hung up, “Someone triggered the alarm in the canteen.”

“See what happens when you’re not around,” You smiled to yourself as Bakugou pushed his wet spikes back, exposing his forehead as he smirked back, “All hell breaks loose.”

“Yeah, can’t leave you alone for five fuckin’ minutes, can I?” He scoffed.

When you were finally let back inside the building, you offered to take Bakugou’s hoodie home to wash it before giving it back to him but he wouldn’t allow it. Telling you it was just an old hoodie and it didn’t matter— but the real reason he wanted to take it back like it was because after wearing it outside the scent of your perfume still lingered on the fabric.

Face of the Moon Chapter 3 excerpt: Home

Somewhere before the city but after the farmlands, before the honking horns and busy nightlife but after the endless fields of grass and cattle, before the sky scrapers where the wealthy look down on the homeless from their offices and their lofts on the very top floor but after the hills that stretch out into mountains if you look far enough, is a row of abandoned industrial buildings.  They squat in no man’s land as though the people building them knew, they knew how much of an eyesore they’d be so they planted them separate from the city but close enough for a commute.  They knew, way back in those very first years when people began factory work, became assembly lines, were treated worse than the machines that later took their places; they knew back then that someday these buildings would fail.  They’d be taken over by the land after they poisoned it.  After they dumped enough refuse in the water to destroy the surrounding wetlands, after they replaced lushness of nature with concrete pillars, after they’d chased away the wildlife with the noise and the dirty air, that the very nature they destroyed would reclaim.  Once these buildings served their purpose, the signs warning of chemicals and condemnation scared off the homeless but stirred the fire of curiosity inside trailer park kids who knew there was nothing seeped into the grass and mud surrounding the building that could possibly be more dangerous than the chemicals already in our drinking water, than the meth lab next door, than the dealer coming round, than the mother passed out with the lit cig in her hand, than the toxins of our everyday reality.  No, there was nothing there that could destroy us anymore than life already had.  

It’s there, next to the hazardous waste signs stripped of their yellows and blacks through the years, metal full of bullet holes.  It’s there past the door hanging by one hinge that screams when you push it open.  It’s there beyond the broken squares of concrete where the grass and weeds have pushed the earth into the cracks and made it look like a tiny earthquake has shuddered the spine of the ground beneath.  It’s there with glass shards from windows and broken bottles, rusty filing cabinets and machinery long dead, splintered wood and bent nails scattered on the floor, crumbling cement and rotten floor boards.  It’s there that we make a home.  

The safest home any of us has ever known.

🏠 oz!

Oz lives in a apartment building on the first floor, the outside is a pretty unassuming building that sits in the shadows of the sky scraper apartment buildings around it.

Oz's neighbors are rather quiet and shy, after all whenever one of Oz's friends comes around they are no where to be seen.

Oz's apartment itself is a cozy and messy space, it is full of warm lighting and light woods for the floors and walls which are aged with the occasional holes where things like mice could get in.

The living room is full of merch for the different things of media Oz enjoys along with a royal shit ton of pillows and blankets on basically every form of seating, his tables around the room always are full of clutter of random things. Sometimes even the seating has clutter on it ranging from unfinished projects for hobbies Oz has picked up to board game boxs that he wants to try with his friends.

His kitchen is very very cramped and also cluttered with seemingly random kitchen appliances ranging from a ice cream machine to a rice cooker despite not having any rice in this apartment.

The bathroom is also pretty small but is probably one of the least cluttered spaces, the bathtube that sits across from the toilet & sink has no soap set up in it or anything else other than a untouched rubber duck. The sink does have soap and a towel and there is always fresh toilet paper for guests.

Oz's bedroom is actually very sparse for many of the intrests he shows, it's wood and paints are darker than the rest of the space, a cooler white used for the sheets than the rest of the apartment. As for what is in the room, it's mostly abstract art, statues with forms that always seem slightly different when you look at them, paintings of streaky colors that look... Strangely like some random moment in one's life.

Really only thing out of place in this bedroom is a small framed photo on the bed stand of PLAYER CHARACTER, the band he is in with his best friends.

SEXTRANCE Rave at Church of Fun LA

Blogpost about attending a rave in LA hosted by dismissyourself. Seeing some of my favorite acts and a wicked cool night with Tess.

I bought tickets for the Sextrance 3D Rave at the Church of fun some weeks prior, Tess and I had worked ourselves into a fever pitch with excitement. We would be seeing a huge line up from the collective Dismiss Yourself. You can find their website at the following link: here. Dismiss yourself is a music collective curating some of the most aggressive and experimental electronic music out right now. The roster for this evening included Purity Filter, Sienna Sleep, Exodius, to name a few.

I got off work a little early and headed over to our apartment where Tess was already decked out in her Rave wear. She was wearing a Neon Iridescent Bikini Top, made out of that hyperreflective material that reflects light all crazy and atop of that a BDSM Harness that I had got for her. Her make up was crazy and she had what must have been a half a bottle of glitter on her face, making her look like a cybernetic goddess. I opted to contrast her look by dressing in all black and wearing my Machine Girl Hoody. I looked like a Ninja, while she looked like an LSD Princess. She was towering around in her Pink heels spraying fixative on her make up when I walked into our Apartment.

We got together a little Rave Go Bag Together. In it was our supplies for the rave. Elixirs and concoctions. Potions and the like. Neon liquids in little bottles for our consumption. We had plenty of Gummys, some candy, Soda and Soft Drinks, plus a couple shots of Vodka. Extra Clothes and some party favors.

We drove up as the sun was setting and were blasting hardcore trance and gabber music on the ride up: [2022] Exodia - Valkyria - YouTube

The night swallowed us whole as we raced up to Los Angeles. The Skyline over took us as the lights of the Sky Scrapers towered over us. We got to the church of fun and the show was already underway. We showed our reservations and got into the main dance hall.

The Projector had us in a first person shooter of some kind, while the trance music pounded our chest hollow. We let the elixir over take us as we began to move to the pounding electronic grooves drill harder and harder into the night. The lights and music a swirl of beauty entering your Soni spherical body one set after another.

As Tess and I walked through the grand doors of the Church of Fun, a wave of excitement washed over us. The once holy sanctuary had been transformed into a pulsating techno paradise, with glowing neon lights illuminating the altar and the sound of thumping beats filling the air.

We made our way through the crowd, taking in the sights and sounds of the rave. The walls were adorned with holographic projections of swirling first person shooter graphics, while the walls were lined with LED lights that pulsed in time with the music. We could see cyberpunk-clad ravers dancing wildly, their bodies a blur of motion as they lost themselves in the rhythm.

As we reached the dance floor, Tess and I couldn't resist the pull of the music any longer. We let ourselves get swept up in the energy of the crowd, our bodies moving in a frenetic glitch set to the beat. The music was like a drug, coursing through our veins and igniting every fiber of our being.

With every passing moment, the techno symphony grew more and more intense, the lights and visuals becoming more and more mesmerizing. As the night wore on, Tess and I were lost in a techno trance, lost in the beauty of the moment.

As the sets died down so did we. We got out of there a hot and sweaty mess. Tess' make up was runny and she looked like she had been ravaged by a technological beast and yet still as gorgeous as ever. We wound down the night at astro burgers. Catching our breath over some burgers and fries. We ate inside the neon lit chromed out diner, the paper wrapped around our burgers crinkling while we ravenously ate, covered in sweat and joking about. We finished up and drove home to have a few drinks watch a movie and pass out.

Birmingham Expert Details the Restoration of Neglected Quarry Tiled Floors in Bournville

A customer had recently moved into a property in Bournville and discovered an original Quarry tiled floor in the living room, hallway and a couple of quirky tiled areas upstairs. After searching on the internet for some inspiration, they came across my previous work and got in touch. Period floors like these are very popular and so they were keen to have the Quarry tiles restored.

I went over the property to survey the floor and made notes of all the floors and problems including the removal of self-levelling screed in the living room. This is often used to level tiled floors prior to the installation of another covering such as Vinyl or Carpet. It can be difficult to remove but it can be done. Another issue that would need to be dealt with was carpet glue and paint stains which I found in the hallway.

I worked out a detailed plan for the restoration work and was able to use this to create a quote for the work. Keen to have the floors restored my quote was accepted and a date set for the work to start.

Cleaning a Quarry Tiled Living Room Floor

The first day was spent removing an area of levelling screed from the living room along with a couple of repairs to the tiles. This literally has to be scrapped off the tiles by hand to remove the bulk of the screed. The whole floor was then cleaned with a strong dilution of Tile Doctor Remove & Go scrubbed in with a 120-grit carbide pad fitted to a weighted buffer machine. The resultant slurry was then extracted with a wet and dry vacuum.

The next step was to give the floor an acid rinse using Tile Doctor Grout Clean-up which is ideal for breaking down cement residues. It was let to soak into the floor for ten minutes before being scrubbed. For this the coarse 120-grit pad was switched for a finer 240-grit carbide pad. The floor was rinsed with water and extracted again to remove the slurry.

After inspecting the floor, I was pleased to see that marks imprinted onto the tiles by the previous floor covering had been removed and the tiles were looking so much cleaner. Happy with my work the tiles were left to dry off overnight with the aid of a couple of air movers.

The next day I tackled the Quarry tiled hallway which was stained with carpet glue. The started with a steamer to loosen up year’s old adhesive and bitumen along with a scraper to remove dried paint. The hallway tiles along with a couple of tiled hearths upstairs were then cleaned using the same process as the living room.

After an hour or so of drying the tiles, I applied a coat of Tile Doctor Stone Oil to all the floors and left them to dry for twenty minutes before towelling off the excess. The tiles were then left to dry off completely overnight. Stone oil is the first step in the sealing process and adds colour, texture, and generally improves the condition of the Quarry tiles after years of neglect.

Sealing a Quarry Tiled Living Room Floor

On the last day I applied a coat of Tile Doctor X-Tra Seal to all the tiles to seal them. This sealer is an impregnator that soaks into the Quarry tile, occupying its pores and thereby preventing dirt from residing there. The tiles were

This sealer will ensure that dirt remains on the surface where is can be easily cleaned away. Another benefit of the sealer is it further improves the colour of the tiles and being fully breathable it will allow moisture still in the floor to rise through and evaporate at the surface.

Once complete all the tiled floors looked so much cleaner and colourful, additionally the new sealer gave all the Quarry tiles a consistent appearance throughout the property.

My customer was very happy with the results and before leaving I took time to discuss aftercare cleaning and left them with a complimentary bottle of Tile Doctor pH neutral Tile Cleaner. This is a mild but effective tile cleaning product that won’t impact the sealer which can be the issue with the stronger products you find in supermarkets.

Effective Things To Keep In Mind While Buying Brooms From Suppliers

Professional sweepers efficiently complete the cleaning duties that are often completed at home or on a modest scale with a dustpan and broom. Since they are long-lasting cleaning equipment meant to be used on a wide surface, they are made to be fast, sweeping, and collecting a lot of dirt in one sitting.

Furthermore, professional equipment is typically constructed with more robust materials, making it appropriate for years of heavy usage or in very unclean conditions, in contrast to machines intended for amateur use. Every commercial setting makes extensive use of these cleaning devices. Manufacturers have historically been compelled to develop ever-more comprehensive and high-performance broom making machines in response to the challenges of the manufacturing sector, which include extremely demanding work environments. Cleaning procedures in homes and businesses are made easier by automatic floor cleaners and their derivatives.

Large Brooms for Open Areas

Wide faces on push brooms provide effective sweeping. They move garbage straight ahead, stacking it up as it passes, clearing a large area. Similar in design, a push-to-center broom features sides on the sweep face that are slightly slanted. Hence, this helps to keep the broom going forward by forcing dirt and particles into its core. For tasks like cleaning warehouse aisles, these brooms work best when sweeping large rows in a single pass.

Precision Brooms for Tight Places:

Compared to push brooms, angle brooms have smaller heads and bristles that are cut at an angle, creating a point on one side. Its pointed end slides easily into tight spaces like corners and edges. Angle brooms and lobby brooms are around the same size. They are frequently used with dustpans that have lengthy handles.

Versatile Brooms for Everyday Use

The industrial broom production is a corn broom. Instead of being attached to a block, their lengthy bristle bundles are sewn into place. With a maximum width of 84 inches, they provide the broadest broom face. At baseball games, these specialist brooms are most frequently used to groom the infield. Originally designed to remove ice from railroad switches, this type of broom can also be used to chip frozen patches off outdoor walkways thanks to its scraper.

 Common Factors in Choosing a Floor Cleaning Machine

  When you come to choose the right broom machine you need to consider the basic broom machine features. As a result, it helps to provide a try with the best machine.

Size:

The size of the floor cleaning machine impacts cleaning effectiveness and uptime. Tank capacity and cleaning width are crucial variables in this context. Selecting a size appropriate for your website's size can increase efficiency.

 Usability:

The machine's mobility and the control panel's clarity are related to ease of use. Prior to usage, the machine should be inspected and its usability evaluated.

Batteries:

Continuous run time and recharge time are crucial factors when selecting a cordless model. Additionally, the battery should be simple to replace, and having a spare battery should be taken into account.

Cost High:

Automatic floor scrubbers are typically more costly. However, it is crucial to select a model within your budget. By weighing budget and performance, choose the best choice.

 Floor Conditions:

A variety of techniques, including brush and pad cleaning, are available to the floor cleaner. Selecting a model that fits the floor of your site and your cleaning needs is crucial.

 Maintenance:

 Before making a purchase, it's crucial to find out about maintenance services. A support system for consumables in the event that the machine malfunctions should also be in place.

Source of Power:

Typically, automatic floor scrubbers come in corded or cordless models powered by an electrical outlet. Automatic floor cleaners come in various versions appropriate for various uses. Before making a purchase, it is crucial to assess the best model and comprehend how it will be used at the cleaning location. First, ask the manufacturer what kind of site and cycle you plan to use the machine for, as well as your budget.

Conclusion: Originally designed for industrial use, the top-performing devices quickly found employment in retail or other professions. As is typically the case with industrial cleaning equipment in general, we now refer to professional sweepers or industrial sweepers as though they were interchangeable. As long as the automated broom production is made to last and produce high-quality results, compact sweepers are also increasingly being referred to as "industrial," even if the term is sometimes used to highlight larger size and performance.

Shot blaster troubleshooting 

Shot blasters are designed to clean and profile a concrete surface in a single step, making them a popular choice with contractors during floor preparation. While versatile, these machines can seem like a three-year-old throwing a tantrum if the users are unsure of how to handle them, says Dave Bigham, director of global training a surface preparation expert National Flooring Equipment. Here, Bigham offers some solutions to common problems contractors run into when using shot blasters.

Shot blasters propel small round steel media, like small metal BBs, at the floor’s surface, hitting the floor before rebounding upwards. They are ideal for removing existing coatings while simultaneously preparing the surface for a new coating, such as an epoxy. These machines are built for effective preparation, but in my experience, there are a handful of issues that contractors commonly run into on-site that can be avoided with preparation. 

On-site issues

The most common problem contractors experience when using a shot blaster on-site is equipment ‘dropping shot’ or ‘puking’.  This happens when shot rebounds erratically and remains lying on the surface instead of being drawn back up into the hopper, creating a barrier to removing the coating. This often occurs on soft surfaces like glue, or uneven surfaces, like very rough or tined concrete, so contractors should consider using other tools on these coverings, like scrapers or grinders.

Shot blasters also work best when travelling forwards and in a straight line. Attempting to drive a self-propelled machine through curves, or reverse, could result in dropped shot. Instead, contractors can use an up and down pattern, always moving away from the vacuum to protect the power cable, leaving the turning points until the end.

Regular maintenance of machine parts, like the blast wheel, is also essential to maintain proper function. Unlike some machinery, contractors can conduct shot blaster maintenance on-site because complete disassembly is not usually required. Although they can initially seem complicated, contractors can tension belts and change blast wheels and liners on the job, minimising downtime.

Shot blasters don’t suck 

A shot blaster needs sufficient dust collection to operate correctly and the bigger the tool’s footprint, the higher spec of the required dust collector. If a dust collector is too small for the job, has dirty filters, or needs maintenance, it will be difficult to vacuum the space. Any dust left on the surface requires additional labour to clean up, or it could cycle through the machine and cause wear and tear by abrading the interior surfaces.

Furthermore, any dust recirculating through the blaster can require the machine to work harder, and this increased power load can cause a site’s circuit breakers to trip, disrupting work elsewhere. Dust collector maintenance and using separate power supplies with separate breakers for the shot blaster and the dust collector can help prevent tripping.

Feel the power

Naturally, bigger shot blasters require more power, and the size of the job will dictate the most appropriate shot blaster. For example, small, 110V blasters can cover around 400 square meters an hour, while large machines running on 480V three-phase power can cover 30,000 square meters an hour. 

Contractors should choose the machine most suited to the job and ensure the correct power supply is available before starting work. A machine being fed insufficient power will either work improperly or not at all. For instance, a self-propelled machine might move, but the blast wheel probably won’t start firing shot. Contractors should also consider what power cord they use. A longer cord might make it easier to navigate the site but it may also slow down the machine — using the supplied cord could improve machine efficiency.

Just like with toddlers, while they may seem complicated and finickity at first, taking the time to understand what makes a shot blaster tick can make a contractor’s life much easier. 

For help getting the most out of your shot blaster, if you run into problems, or if you just haven’t used it in a while, you can always contact National Flooring Equipment.

Steam Cleaners - A Guide to Choosing the Best for Your Home

Steam cleaners have become an essential tool for deep cleaning in many homes. With their super-heated dry steam, these machines can sanitize surfaces, remove stains, eliminate odors, and kill dust mites. 

When shopping for a steam cleaner, you'll want to consider your needs and choose the best model for your budget. In this guide, we'll explore the different types of domestic steam cleaners, and their key features, and provide recommendations to help you pick the perfect one for your household.

What Are Steam Cleaners?

Steam cleaners, also called steam cleaning machines or vapor steam cleaners, use very hot steam to clean. They heat water to temperatures above 200°F inside an internal boiler and turn it into steam. This steam then exits through a handheld nozzle or attachment. 

The super-heated dry steam sanitizes surfaces and penetrates crevices to dissolve and lift away dirt, grease, and grime. Because no chemicals are used, steam cleaning is an eco-friendly cleaning method. It's also highly effective at eliminating allergens like dust mites.

Benefits of Steam Cleaners

There are many benefits that make steam cleaners a smart choice for home cleaning:

Sanitizing - The hot steam kills up to 99.99% of germs and bacteria without chemicals. Great for disinfecting kitchens, bathrooms, kids' items, and more.

Removing Stains - Steam cleaners can blast away tough stains like coffee, wine, grease, etc. from upholstery, carpets, tile grout, and other surfaces.

Eliminating Odors - Steam vapor naturally deodorizes by killing odor-causing bacteria. A great solution for pet odors.

Reducing Allergens - Steam removes dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens from upholstery, carpeting, mattresses, and fabrics.

Chemical-Free - No need for harsh cleaning chemicals that can irritate eyes and skin. Steam is a healthier, more natural cleaning method.

Eco-Friendly - Most steam cleaners use very little water and energy. No chemicals end up being flushed down drains or polluting the environment.

Types of Steam Cleaners

There are a few different types of steam cleaners to choose from:

Handheld Steam Cleaners 

Compact and lightweight, these are meant for spot cleaning and smaller tasks. Great for sanitizing countertops, sinks, showers, appliances, windows, mirrors, and more. More portable than other types.

Canister Steam Cleaners

Canisters have a large water tank attached to a hose and accessories. The tank contains the boiler. Very effective for cleaning floors, upholstery, cabinets, tiles, and many other surfaces throughout the home.

Upright Steam Cleaners 

These function similarly to a traditional upright vacuum cleaner but with steam cleaning power. Uprights allow you to steam mop hard floors and steam clean carpets. Convenient for whole-room cleaning.

Steam Cleaner Features to Look For

When comparing different steam cleaner models, keep these key features in mind:

Dry steam - Dry steam vapor is best for household cleaning. Wet steam can leave behind moisture.

Powerful steam - Models that produce hotter steam clean better. Look for pressure of at least 50 psi.

Large tank capacity - Choose a larger water tank so you can steam clean for longer periods before having to refill.

Accessories - Look for accessories like floor heads, brushes, scrapers, and more for versatility.

Easy to use - Pick a model with an intuitive control panel and attachments that connect and disconnect easily.

Warranty - Opt for a longer warranty period to protect your investment in the cleaner.

Get the Most Out of Your Steam Cleaner

Follow these tips to use your new steam cleaner most effectively:

Always read the instruction manual first and follow directions for setup, operation, and maintenance. 

Fill the water tank with distilled water which will prolong the boiler's lifespan.

Start by steam cleaning a small test spot before tackling a large area.

Wipe surfaces dry after steaming to prevent water spots.

Drain and rinse the water tank after each use.

Descale the boiler monthly following the manufacturer’s directions.

Use the right attachments for each cleaning task.

Take care of delicate surfaces like natural stone.

Give the cleaner time to fully heat up before cleaning.

With the right steam cleaner, you can tackle dirt, stains, allergens, and odors in a healthier, chemical-free way. Refer to our recommendations and keep these tips in mind, and you'll find the perfect steam cleaning machine for your household.

XINC Waterproof Decoration Strategy：Which areas of home decoration need to be waterproof and leak proof?

Which areas of home decoration need to be waterproof and leak proof?

1. Shower area The bathroom is an area with a lot of water, and waterproof construction should be done well. But how high is the waterproof layer in the bathroom? Many homeowners eagerly add waterproofing to the waterproof layer in the shower area, but are afraid of leaving hidden seepage. In fact, as long as the shower area is 180 centimeters high, it can prevent water from seeping into the wall.

2. Washing machine area Waterproofing in the washing machine area is often overlooked. Check if the faucet connection to the washing machine is secure to prevent water from falling off. Check if the floor drain of the washing machine is blocked to prevent overflow and running water caused by poor drainage. 3. Air conditioning area Check if the air conditioning holes on the exterior wall have a certain inclination angle, otherwise it may cause rainwater to flow back. If there are electrical appliances, calligraphy, painting, furniture, and other items that are afraid of water under the air conditioning, it will cause damage. 4. Sliding window area The waterproofing company said that sliding windows also require waterproofing construction. Generally, there should be drainage holes on the track of the bottom window frame of sliding windows. But as time goes by, the drainage hole is easily blocked by dust, leaves, and other debris, causing the water in the bottom window frame to be unable to be discharged, leading to backflow. Therefore, the bottom of the window should be regularly cleaned to maintain smooth drainage.

What are the waterproof materials for home decoration?

1. XINC Waterproof Flexible mortar The ratio of lotion mortar to lotion mortar is 533604, which is elastic. Even if the base course is deformed and cracked, the waterproof effect will not be affected. Most of it is used to face water surfaces such as walls and bottoms, but not to face water surfaces such as the top.

2. XINC Waterproof Hard mortar Also called rigid mortar, the ratio of lotion to mortar is 1333604. After multiple presses, the coating does not require treatment and can be directly tiled for convenience. The solidified stumbling cement is eye-catching and will not pack water, resulting in excellent waterproof effect on the back surface.

3. XINC Waterproof Polyurethane For indoor and outdoor use, the brush is very thick, about 3mm, and has a elasticity of over 300%. Any cracking of the substrate will not cause it to crack, therefore it has a waterproof effect. The polyurethane is gel like and very thick, so it requires great efforts to use the scraper in the construction process.

4. XINC Waterproof Roll material Waterproof companies say that most of the waterproof coatings on the market are water-soluble materials, whether water-soluble or oil-soluble. As long as they have passed relevant national environmental certification, such as China Environmental Labeling Certification or CTC Product Environmental Quality Certification, these materials are environmentally reliable.

5. XINC Waterproof Acrylic waterproof coating The waterproof company said that the acrylate waterproof material is made of pure acrylate copolymer or pure propionate lotion, with appropriate high-quality fillers and additives. It belongs to a single component waterproof coating of synthetic resin. It is a water-soluble coating that can be diluted with water. After conjunctiva, it has great elasticity and ductility, significant waterproof effect, and moderate price.

Easy Methods to Screed Concrete

Screeding concrete is a fundamental step in the construction process that ensures a smooth and level surface for various projects, such as driveways, sidewalks, and floors. Properly screeding concrete is crucial for achieving structural integrity and a professional finish. While it might seem like a challenging task, there are three easy methods that can help you achieve excellent results without requiring advanced skills or specialized tools.

In this article, we will explore these simple and straightforward ways to screed concrete effectively.

The Traditional Method

The most common way to screed concrete is the traditional method. This method involves scraping manually with a hand screed. The concrete needs to be repeatedly scraped to bring the cement slurry to the surface. The traditional method can be challenging as it completely relies on the person’s experience and skill to achieve a leveled finish. Additionally, it requires a lot of physical effort and is time-consuming. Despite some of these disadvantages, the traditional method remains popular due to its low cost and simple process.

Easy Methods to Screed Concrete

Since the traditional method can be physically demanding and time-consuming, it is often not recommended for larger projects. Listed below are some more easy and efficient methods that save manpower and increase efficiency. These methods are suitable for larger projects and achieve a high-quality result.

1} Power screed

A power screed is a mechanized tool revolutionizing concrete work. This innovative tool eliminates much of the manual labor involved in traditional methods, allowing for faster and more precise results. This tool can be operated by vibrating the screed over the concrete. Unlike the manual method, here the operator can simply stand and move the machine on the surface. From sidewalks to floors, this technology streamlines construction, enhances efficiency, and delivers a smooth, flawless finish, making it an indispensable asset for modern concrete projects.

2} Laser Screed

A laser screed is cutting-edge technology in concrete construction. It employs a laser-guided system to achieve unparalleled precision in leveling and finishing concrete surfaces. The machine can be operated automatically and does not require any manual intervention. The laser signals are used to control the scraper, thereby providing accuracy and precise leveling. The laser screed machine can reach a leveling area of more than 2500 sq m.

Ideal for large-scale projects such as warehouses and industrial floors, the laser screed guarantees exceptional flatness and quality, setting new standards for efficiency and excellence in concrete work. The only limitation is that the laser screed is used for larger projects and is found unsuitable for small concrete works.

3} Super Screed Concrete

Super screed concrete is a state-of-the-art material engineered to revolutionize surface leveling. Its innovative blend incorporates self-leveling technology, allowing it to effortlessly create impeccably smooth and even surfaces. The super screed contains a fuselage of 1.3 meters, which makes it easy to transport from one construction site to another. The super screed contains a replaceable flat head, making it versatile for different types of leveling work.

The lightweight and compact design make it particularly useful in hard-to-reach and tight spaces. With the super screed, there is minimal manpower usage, and formwork does not need to be set up on the construction site. This feature reduces the risk of injuries on the construction site. Super screed is a game-changer for projects demanding superior precision, such as flooring and pavements.

4} Roller Screed

Roller screeds are arguably the most popular choice of screed due to their versatility, minimal crew requirement, and cost effectiveness in the long run. The are powered by a motor of some type on one end and have a tube screed that rotates leveling the concrete. Forms are needed, but roller screeds are capable of tackling small and large pours, as well as curbs, and some manufacturers have center pivots handy in circular pours. Gas and electric are the most popular power options for these, but there are hydraulic systems as well.

Conclusion

Screeding concrete is an essential skill for anyone involved in construction or DIY projects. By utilizing these three easy methods—traditional hand screeding, vibrating screed, and roller screed���you can achieve a smooth and level concrete surface with relative ease. Remember to always start with a properly prepared base and check the levelness throughout the process to ensure the best results. Whether you're working on a small patio or a large industrial floor, mastering these screeding techniques will contribute to the success and quality of your concrete projects.

7 Tips to Clean Sheepskin Rugs

Sheepskin is an extremely delicate material, so it is crucial that you treat it with great care when caring for a sheepskin rug. A typical sheepskin product features natural suede pelt on one side and wool fibres on the other, each reacting differently when exposed to different washing methods. To avoid damage to your sheepskin and keep its beauty, always follow its washing instructions; in most cases a gentle hand-wash with cool water is the ideal method; machine washing, harsh chemicals and hot water may harm its pelt and lanolin, stiffening its structure and diminishing its beauty over time.

Regular vacuuming of your rug will help eliminate dirt and dust that has collected over time, as well as any trapped odours. A plain hose or crevice tool works better here; using a brush head attachment could damage fibres by pulling them. Shaking it outdoors periodically will also refresh its look by clearing away dust and debris accumulated between fibers as well as help re-tangle any knots or kinks that have formed.

Spills and stains must be addressed as soon as they occur to prevent permanent staining from taking hold. In the case of liquid spills, use a clean cloth to blot up as much liquid as possible with one swipe, while solid spills should be scraped off using spoon edge scraper or scraping tool. For oily stains diluted laundry detergent in cold water should be applied directly onto affected area before using another clean cloth to blot and rinse until all oily spots have vanished completely.

If your sheepskin is particularly dirty or has stubborn stains, you can use cold water in either the bath or basin to wash it. Avoid hot water as this may cause the pelt and leather to shrink or become brittle and could harm a shearing in particular. Before placing it into the water, give it a good hard brushing with a wire pet brush to rid any tangles and reduce matting.

Once the rug has been washed and rinsed, it should be placed in a warm, airy environment to dry without direct sunlight. Be wary not to allow too much dampness as this will encourage black mould growth on its hide or fleece material; furthermore do not leave in moist environments such as bathrooms or on damp floors within your house - otherwise mold growth will occur quickly!

Sheepskin does not appreciate being exposed to extreme temperatures, and should be stored away from radiators or placed on a cool shelf that does not drought. Too much exposure to direct sunlight will fade its colors and dry out its pelt and suede; regular brushing with wide tooth metal rug brushes such as those used on dogs will help ensure that it remains soft and shiny.
