Summer can be a challenging time to maintain a clean house. Many families spend a considerable amount of time outside, playing their favorite games in summer. When family members return home from outside after a fun-filled day, their footwear can track dirt, dust and debris into the home.
If you, like many other homeowners, struggle to keep a clean home in summer, you have come to the right place. To help homeowners like you, we have built an easy-to-follow summer house cleaning checklist. Take a look.
Keep Your Kitchen Clean
The lip-smacking delicacies that you prepare in your kitchen do not just enamor your family members, visitors and neighbors, but also attract pests. To keep them at bay, maintain a clean kitchen.
Clean your kitchen every day after preparing a meal. Use an all-purpose cleaner to get rid of dirt and stains on your stovetop and countertop. Regularly clean kitchen appliances such as your refrigerator, oven, and microwave.
Clean the inside and outside of your cabinets and drawers with a wet rag. To prevent dirt buildup, scrub the kitchen sink and faucets with a sponge or clean cloth. To get rid of and prevent odors, clean your garbage disposal every two weeks with ice and lemon.
Regularly Clean Your Exterior
If you, like many other Petaluma homeowners, enjoy spending time in your exterior in summer, include regular exterior cleaning in your house cleaning checklist.
Clean your patio with a pressure washer. This will help prevent mold and gunk buildup.
Regularly clean any trash receptacles and remove debris such as leaves and twigs. Trim branches and mow grass. Periodically vacuum your patio furniture or clean it with microfiber cloth. After you have got rid of built-up dirt, wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
Give Your Bathroom a Deep Clean
The bathrooms in a home are more humid than any other room. Increased humidity levels in summer can cause odors and promote the growth of disease-causing germs and mildew.
Make regular bathroom cleaning a top priority. Thoroughly scrub the toilet seat and remove stains before they get deeply ingrained. Apply a mixture of baking soda, water, and liquid soap to your sink and bathtub. Scrub the surfaces with a cloth or sponge.
Clean the bathroom drain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. To get rid of dirt buildup on grout, apply a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to it. To remove any limescale deposits on showerheads and faucets, clean them with white vinegar.
