- Use the right cleaner for the job. For instance, if you have hardened deposits, an abrasive cleaner is the way to go, and cleaners with bleach are ideal for sanitizing.
- Clean fixtures and the rim of the sink with an all purpose cleaner. Use a clean cloth for buffing.
- Spray the bathtub with an all purpose cleaner and let it sit while you clean the rest of the bathroom first. This helps to dissolve soap scum and oil.
- Utilize an abrasive scrubbing pad to remove rings on the tub and use a tile brush to scrub grout.
- Use a detachable shower head to rinse the cleaner off the tub. If you don’t have one, you can purchase an inexpensive one that attaches to your bathtub tap.

Cleaning your pooch in our dog wash station at our pet-friendly apartments in San Mateo sure beats breaking your back over your tub or spending gas and time running Fido to expensive dog groomers . Plus it’s another way to share quality time with your pet.
Here are a few canine cleaning tips to keep your pet in great shape.
- Brushing their coats and then cleaning both the ears and teeth before bathing removes surface dirt and debris from the fur, delicate ear canals and gums.
- Next, wet your pet down with lukewarm water from head to toe with the sprayer. Then apply shampoo to the head first, proceeding down the body and tail, massaging the shampoo into the fur as you go. Tackle the underside and legs last.
- Try to pick a warm day so drying your dog’s fur isn’t an issue, but do apply a conditioner and blow dry if your dog has a very long, thick coat.
- Finish off with another good brushing to give the coat extra shine.
Our luxury pet-friendly apartments in San Mateo offer a bark park too plus easy access to local trails and parks. Contact us today to schedule a tour.

At some point we become fed up with nondescript, boring rooms and want something more to come home to. Some people change this over time, adding bits and pieces from trips and special moments to their home decor while others embark on a frenzy of buying, renovating and redoing all in one weekend.
Whatever your style, here are some apartment decorating tips that may come in handy.
- Jazz up those bare walls and bring some warmth into the various rooms in your apartment with a few well placed pieces of art. Photos in interesting frames, flea market finds or a favorite reproduction print all work well.
- Don’t just stick with the lighting that comes with your apartment. Add interest and variety to your apartment decor with additional floor, ceiling or table lamps.
- Specialized window treatments in apartments create additional privacy and reduce sunlight and nighttime glare as well as add interest with colorful patterns and textures.
- Create texture and interest in a room with a potted plant, nubby throw, or fluffy pillows.
These apartment decorating tips are just one way our San Mateo apartments caters to our residents. Contact us today to learn more about our luxurious community.
