Deep Cleaning Tips for Your Home after the Cold Months

Start the warmer months fresh by applying deep cleaning tips to your home. Deep cleaning prevents illnesses, reduces stress, and boosts your mood. Most importantly, tidiness helps you avoid accidents at home.

Deep cleaning requires decluttering, cleaning, and disinfection of items, surfaces, and hard-to-reach areas.

Here are some practical deep-cleaning tips for your home after the cold months.

Deep Cleaning Tips for your Home

Arm Yourself With Protective Cleaning Equipment

Protection is your first line of defense. Wear proper cleaning equipment such as gloves, an apron, goggles, and a mask. These protect your eyes, skin, nose, and mouth from contaminants and irritants. Ensure that you dispose of the cleaning equipment or wash it every after use.

Clean First, Then Disinfect

Clean bathroom surfaces, kitchen counters, and table tops using a microfiber cloth with white vinegar or warm water. After cleaning, disinfect by soaking a clean cloth with a detergent and wipe on areas to remove grime. It’s also important to disinfect regularly, especially on high-touch surfaces like doorknobs. Shared devices also need regular cleaning. Dust off dirt and remove particles by brushing, then clean with a microfiber cloth sprayed with a cleaning solution.

Leave Shoes At The Door

Shoes introduce all kinds of bacteria. Skip wearing shoes inside and leave them outdoors. Spray the surface that touches the ground with alcohol and clean the soles regularly.

Steam Clean Furniture and Floors

Steam cleaning is environmentally friendly because it does not use chemicals. It is also a safer, cleaner method for cleaning kids’ and pets’ items. Steam cleaning helps get rid of dust, mites, and mold. Aside from safe cleaning, it’s a cost-effective tool since it does not involve using a lot of cleaning supplies. Steam cleaning is ideal for cars, sofas, mattresses, and hard-to-clean furniture. Steam cleaners are also suitable for tiles and fabric.

Vacuum Dirt/Dust

Aside from steam cleaning, good old vacuum cleaners remove dust and particles not visible to the naked eye. An excellent tip for effective vacuuming is empty the canister first, then start the vacuum. This method keeps allergens away when done regularly.

Clear Roof, Gutters, and Corners From Debris

Cleaning your roof, gutters, and the corners of your home allows better airflow and regulates the temperature inside your home. It can also allow light and heat to enter quickly, leaving you with a naturally lit and warmer home.
