Cleaning and maintaining fresh environment in your home is one of the most important routines you should develop and stick to. Cleaning ensures that your rooms are healthy and allergen free, they don’t develop mold and mildew and they provide you with the best conditions for relaxing, resting and overall ‘feeling at home’. And who doesn’t want to have such good conditions in their house?
One very important thing that should be mentioned is that cleaning alone is just one thing to consider. Using the right products and effective professional cleaning services is just as important, as many of them don’t always care for your interests, environment instead the profits. Carefully choose your equipment and go for eco-friendly products to complement your cleaning routine. This is the safest way to guarantee you are not only sanitizing your room, but also not putting yourself at risk in the process. When you hire a professional cleaning company, make sure they use such products as well.
Back to the main question – how often should you clean your rooms to ensure they are well maintained and looked after? There is no universal answer to that question, because there are a lot of factors at play that will determine exactly how much and how often you will have to see to this chore. It all depends on the purpose of a room and how often you use it. With that in mind, there are 3 main categories of cleaning:
- Daily – includes activities you should do every single day. Naturally, this means rooms like the bathroom and kitchen should be looked after on a daily basis. Washing dishes and cleaning the table and countertops in the kitchen requires everyday attention. Trash should be collected and removed every day too, to ensure it doesn’t develop bacteria and spread unpleasant odor. The same goes for pets litter boxes. Laundry is also something that may have to be done every day, if you have a big family.
- Weekly – the kitchen should receive some special attention every week. You should wipe the counters and doors, mop the floor and clean the surface and inside of appliances, as well as scour the sink. Bathrooms should be cleaned with spray cleaners, while heavy-duty disinfectant should be used on the toilet bowl. Floors in the house should be vacuumed and freed of dust. The latter is a cause for many health problems and should be cleaned whenever possible. This includes furniture surfaces, as well as bed linens.
- Monthly – windows cleaning is one example of a monthly chore. You don’t necessarily have to use detergent, just lint-free cloth and water. Same goes for mirror glasses. Give some of your appliances a check and clean them – especially the fridge and stove. Sanitize your trash area.
This is just an example of cleaning services that your home will need, but as it was already mentioned, it will all depend on your activity within certain rooms. If you cannot find the time to perform these cleaning routines regularly, do consider professional cleaning companies, which will make your home healthy and comfortable.
