The irony is that everyone wants a clean house but hates to clean the house. Are you also in the same boat? If yes, then you can either hire residential cleaning services or follow some quick easy tips to get a consistently clean house.
Some of the best cleaner and house helpers have shared their top tips for homeowners to keep their homes regularly clean. Stay tuned till the end to find out.
1. On your cleaning day, clean everything, do not skip!
When we say clean everything on your cleaning day, it literally means everything including your kitchen appliances, fans, windows, shelves, under the bed areas, and the carpets. Whenever you dist or clean anything at a height, the dirt and debris tend to accumulate on the floor and furniture.
So make sure that during your cleaning, you go from top to bottom rather than the other way round otherwise you will end up making everything dirty again.
2. Follow the same cleaning movement technique throughout
Regardless of what you choose to clean your house with whether it is simple water spray, cleaning liquid, or a disinfectant, remember to follow the same movement technique throughout the house.
Let’s say, you are cleaning your TV console in a circular motion, you cannot start cleaning from left to right in the middle. You have to follow a consistent technique. Otherwise, the surface will get unnecessary marks that will be visible under lighting.
Usually, it is not wise to clean in circular motions because it does not remove the layer of dust effectively and ends up making even more mess.
3. Do not forget to clean your cleaning tools and equipment
When you are done cleaning the house, do not think that it is the end of the job. There is more. You must clean all the mops, dust off your vacuum cleaner, brushes, tubs, etc.
If you skip this step, then you will end up making your house dirty again next time when you pick the same tools to clean your house.
4. Bring baking soda into your cleaning techniques
Believe it or not, baking soda has been used for centuries to clean multiple things. If you wish to get rid of those stubborn stains on your stove or kitchen utensils, then use baking soda. Such stains are hard to remove even with the most effective dishwashing soaps.
You can even use baking soda to remove stains from the rugs and carpets that are otherwise too difficult to get rid of. Pour some baking soda in powdered form over the stain and wipe clean with a wet cloth. Take some baking soda and create a paste using white vinegar and lemon juice. Apply this paste onto your utensils and stains, then scrub the stains using a dishwashing brush. You will find everything crystal clean after this.
5. Allow the cleaning liquids to soak onto the surface before wiping them
Following this easy tip will bring significant improvements to your cleaning routine. Simply try it out.
When we are short of time, we tend to quickly wipe off the surface before the cleaning liquids have had a chance to perform. This will simply make things tougher instead of easier.
So, make sure whatever cleaning liquids or disinfectants you are using, soak onto the surface for at least three to four minutes before you wipe it off.
6. Finish cleaning with a dry cloth instead of a wet one
When you are done cleaning and disinfecting all the surfaces and floors of your home, do not leave them like that. Keep a separate dry cloth and dab it onto the wet surface so that any additional liquid gets absorbed.
You can also leave the surfaces to dry on their own but this can leave cleaning marks that may be visible under bright light. Dry cloth soaks the excess liquid without leaving any marks on the surface.
On the day you are cleaning the entire house, make sure you keep three to four different dry cloth pieces for every area of the house. Never make the mistake of using a single dry cloth to dab clean all the surfaces.
