As temperatures plummet, you spend more time indoors. In these situations, it pays to ensure your home is clean and cozy so you, and your family members, can enjoy time indoors. With this in mind, let’s take a look at some ways to keep your home clean in winter from Kenwood home cleaners Blue Ribbon Cleaning Services.
Vacuum Furniture
Vacuum your furniture, including the underside. Remember to vacuum the bottoms of upholstered chairs and couches to prevent the build-up of dust and other debris. When vacuuming upholstery, be careful not to press too hard on the fabric.
Thoroughly Wash and Disinfect Trash Bins
Unclean trash bins are a breeding ground for disease-causing germs. Clean the insides of your trash bins with a garden hose. Use a regular beach or a mixture (50/50) of undiluted hydrogen peroxide or vinegar and water to disinfect your trash bins.
Let the disinfectant solution sit for an hour. After an hour, scrub the insides with a stiff bristle brush to get rid of any residue. Rinse your trash bins.
De-clutter
Get rid of stuff you no longer use or need. Throw away foodstuff that has been sitting in your pantry for a while. Donate old magazines, books, clothes, and other items that you no longer use. Get rid of old newspapers and documents. Organize your closets.
Leave Dirt Outside Your Home
Shoes are carriers of dirt, dust, and germs. To keep your indoors clean and healthy:
- Impose a no-shoe policy in your home
- Place a shoe rack in an area (near the entryway) where your guests can leave their shoes
- Install carpets outside entryways
- Clean carpets regularly to get rid of dirt build-up
Clean Your Windows
Dirty windows can block natural light from getting in. Clean the insides and outsides of your windows with a non-toxic solution cleaning solution of ¼ teaspoon eco-friendly dish detergent and two cups of water. To avoid streaking, use a microfiber cloth to wipe the glass.
