Pre-Celebrations

Before the Hari Raya Celebrations begin, Muslim families go through a month-long practice of abstinence. This often includes fasting during the month of Ramadan.

During this period, make sure you and your family stay healthy with these simple tips:

Consume a balanced diet during Suhur and Iftar to ensure you get the proper nourishment.
Ensure you get sufficient rest. Go to bed early to ensure you wake up with adequate time for Suhur.
Monitor yourself with Terraillon Tensio Wrist. Track your blood pressure and heart rate anywhere with this portable monitor.

Home Preparation

Spring cleaning is one of the biggest challenges everyone faces. To ensure you don’t miss out on any area, categorize the tasks and complete them bit by bit to make them more achievable.

Before you begin, make sure you have all the cleaning supplies such as microfiber cloth, sponges, mops, and toilet brush on hand.

Keep your bathroom looking fresh

Perform a deep clean to remove dirt, grime and all traces of residue such as limescale, mould and soap scum.
Conduct a thorough wipe down on all the bathroom fixtures
Lastly, sanitize the bathroom with an anti-bacterial solution.

Gear up for company in the living room

Do your floors feel sticky even though you just mopped them? If yes is your answer, you might be using the wrong type of cleaner.
Use a specialized cleaner to cater to different types of flooring.
Here’s our recommendation on cleaners for each different type of flooring:

Update your living room with new textiles. Give those curtains and carpets a good wash, so they smell and look good for your guest.
