10 Smart Steps to a Cleaner Home
Cleaning your home does not have to feel chaotic and never-ending. Consider these 10 smart steps to a cleaner home:
- Make a cleaning schedule: Set aside specific days or times for cleaning different areas of your home. This helps keep you on track and ensures that nothing is overlooked.
- Declutter: Before you start cleaning, take some time to declutter the space. Remove any unnecessary items that are taking up space, and organize what's left.
- Dust first: Start by dusting all surfaces, including furniture, shelves, and window sills. Use a microfiber cloth or a duster that traps dust to avoid spreading it around.
- Vacuum and mop: After dusting, vacuum the floors and carpets to pick up any remaining dirt and debris. Then, mop hard floors with a cleaning solution to remove any grime.
- Clean the bathroom: Scrub the toilet, sink, and bathtub or shower with a disinfectant cleaner. Use a brush or sponge to get into hard-to-reach areas and remove any stains.
- Clean the kitchen: Clean the countertops, stovetop, and sink with a disinfectant cleaner. Wipe down appliances, cabinets, and drawers with a damp cloth.
- Wash bedding and towels: Clean bed sheets, pillowcases, and towels in the washing machine using a hot water cycle to kill germs and bacteria.
- Don't forget the windows: Use a glass cleaner and a squeegee to clean the windows inside and out.
- Use natural cleaning products: Consider using natural cleaning products, such as vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice, which are effective and safe for the environment.
- Get help: If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a professional cleaning service to help you keep your home clean and organized.
