The feeling of space and independence that a home provides is undoubtedly unmatched, but not without its price! In fact, the larger your property, the more difficult it is to maintain. Got lost trying to clean your house? Look no further, Wecasa has gathered the best tips for you.
Tips for cleaning your house:
Used to your cute old apartment, you will certainly get lost in a house. And when it’s time for the big clean, you’ll definitely miss your old T3. But if you have the right guidelines, we reassure you, cleaning a house is not that complicated.
Here are a few tips before you get started:
Manage your time well: The larger and more spacious your house is, the more time it will take to clean it. So don’t put pressure on yourself by trying to complete everything in one day. Instead, opt for the schedule that suits you best, by spreading the cleaning over the weekend for example.
Compartmentalize the house: A checklist, in this case, will certainly not be too much. In addition to better organizing your household tasks, a checklist will give you a feeling of accomplishment and motivate you for what comes next.
Involve family members: Cleaning is always more fun with others! Put on some good music, assign everyone a task and get on with it!
Prepare the materials: It is always best to start cleaning in the morning. So, to avoid wasting time, prepare all the necessary materials the day before, namely:
Clean the bathroom and toilets:
Unlike an apartment , a house can have several bathrooms. But don’t panic. First start by spraying the toilets with an anti-limescale product and let it act. During this time, clear surfaces and put away cosmetic products. A clean, empty space is always easier to clean.
If you regularly clean your appliances ( oven , oven hood, dishwasher , refrigerator, etc.), cleaning the kitchen will not take you more than an hour. Use a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda to degrease surfaces and clean the joints of your tiles or to clean the filter of your dishwasher . For the work surface, pass half a lemon over the surface to disinfect it and perfume it naturally.
Clean windows and walls:
Cleaning your windows may seem optional, but clean windows will let more light into your home. How to proceed ? It’s simple, get some crumpled newspaper and a spray of white vinegar and lemon juice. The result is impressive!
Clean the stairs:
For your stairs, dampen a micro-fiber cloth with lukewarm water and wipe over the entire surface. If traces persist, you can use dishwashing liquid poured onto the soft part of a sponge. Make circular movements then wipe everything.
Cleaning a tiled or carpeted floor requires organization, a steam cleaner is the best tool for deep cleaning floors.
Clean up the garden:
For the garden, first start by carrying out an inventory. Know that calling on a professional is sometimes inevitable, especially if you don’t have a green thumb. But here are some tips for routine cleaning:
If you have a lot of plants, using an insecticide may be necessary to prevent small critters.
The more plants you have, the more attention and time your garden will require. Call on the services of a professional to get the best gardening advice.
