5 Effective House Cleaning Tips

The truth is that everyone wants a clean home, however, the cleaning has always been a hassle. Many sometimes don't even know what to do nor how to start.

'Do I start with the kitchen or bedroom?' Or 'do I just start with the bathroom instead?'

From recent questionnaires with some professional cleaners, we've seen that we can start anywhere. But the answer lies in the 'how'. 'How do I go about it?'

However, Professional house cleaners recommend to us 'task cleaning'

TASK CLEANING: this type of cleaning involves finishing one task in every area of a house before moving to the next one. It could be dusting in every room at once or wiping down the surfaces in every room. Including your bathrooms and kitchen.

This has been proven to be very efficient by professional house cleaners.

Some people prefer zone cleaning which involves cleaning one area of a house first, before moving to the next.

This method wastes time as one could spend three hours cleaning one area. So it is up to you to either clean the whole house for four hours or clean just the bedroom for three hours.

With that being settled, we've found five effective house cleaning tips for you.

1) DUST AND CLEAN SURFACES AND FURNITURE:

Start by cleaning the top surfaces in the house, dust those areas so you don't miss anything. It is advised to start with the high areas so you don't clean dirt unto already cleaned lower surfaces.

Dust with a brush and wipe the counters with disinfectants and a microfibre towel. Clean the light fixtures, furniture, air vents, shelves, picture frames, window sills, and anywhere dust could settle should be wiped down. Never forget to wipe places that fingers touch too, such as door handles to everything, to your rooms, cabinets, ovens, and microwaves. People tend to forget these places as they hold germs the most.

2) CLEAN DIRTY FABRICS AND LINEN: 

Remember to wash the curtains and clean the window blinds. Strip the beds of their linen and wash them too.

Do the laundry. Dirty linen piled anywhere in the room or basement already has a dirty and disheveled look to it, so throw those into the washer.

Clean the pillows and blankets. Vacuum clean the chairs with a vacuum and brush to eliminate hidden dirt in tight corners. 

Neatly fold all clean laundry and put them into the right places. Clean laundry scattered around the room also has a way of giving your home a disheveled look.

3) CLEAN WINDOWS, MIRRORS, AND GLASS SURFACES:

It is advised to start with the mirrors around the house, they are sometimes the first to be forgotten. Clean and disinfect the mirrors, and every glass surface in and around your home, including your kitchen and bathroom windows, glass tables, and stools. And this should be done with a microfiber towel because of how soft it is and also microfibres don't leave scratches behind.

4) VACUUM AND CLEAN THE FLOORS:

Start by vacuuming the bedroom floors then mopping them with disinfectants. Then you can proceed to vacuum down the stairs, all the way to your living room and dining areas, to your kitchen, and then your bathrooms. Don't leave anything unturned and never clean around things. Vacuum and Clean under and behind movable furniture, remember to do the same in the bedrooms and kitchen. Vacuum and Clean behind those kitchen cabinets, behind the oven and grills, behind bed frames and dressers. Vacuum and clean thoroughly.

5) CLEAN KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS: 

After all other cleaning is done, these areas will need extra attention.

Wash and clean those kitchen sinks, clean the ovens, grills, and microwave.

Wash and disinfect the bathtubs and toilets, clean and disinfect the tiled wall areas in the bathroom.

Throw out the trash, clean and disinfect those trash cans, leave no stone unturned.

When all of these are done, one sure way to always keep your home clean is by constantly dusting and cleaning your house regularly to avoid back-breaking chores when you decide to do a deep cleaning.
