The Ultimate Guide To Cleaning Your Home

While the idea of living in a clean and neatly organized home feels like heaven, it is often highly challenging to be able to make this dream come true on a daily basis. However, this can be done with the help of a deep cleaning session. But then again, the trouble with a deep cleaning session is that it is not as easy as it might seem. What's more, there are tons of nook and crannies in your home that might be out of your focus, leaving you with a house that might look clean on the surface but would have tons of gunk in weird/hidden spots. This is where we come into play. Down below is an elaborate guide to help you with your deep cleaning journey.

Cleaning Agents and Supplies Required

The best part about any deep cleaning process is that you can get the job done with the items in your pantry. What you will need is baking soda, white vinegar, a scrubbing brush, rubber gloves, baking soda, dish soap, microfiber cleaning cloth, glass cleaner, a vacuum with attachments, and mop.

Making Homemade Products

Once you have our glass cleaners and agents ready, all you need is to make some of these products, and you'll be good to go. To make the first mixture, start by mixing baking soda with water to create a paste. Make sure that the water you add is minimum so that the paste is not very runny.

The second mixture you can curate is the vinegar/water combo. For this, you will need to add one to one ratio of water and vinegar to a spray bottle. If you would like to make it fancier, add a couple of drops so f essential oil for aroma.

Deep Cleaning the House Room-by-Room

The best way to deep clean a house is by going through it one room at a time. This is so that you can give an equal amount of attention to each area.

Living Room

Kickstart by cleaning the process with the living that usually has the most amount of traffic. Start by wiping down different surfaces of the room. For this, you can aim for the glass cleaner or combos along with a microfiber cloth to clean tables and glasses. Make sure to clean each and every corner of your consoles, shelves, and furniture. Once that is done, you can now aim to clean the furniture cushions. Zip-off the cushion covers and throw them in the laundry. Vacuum the couches and sofas for dirt. Next, wash and dry your cushions, and put them back on. Spread a newspaper or any cloth over the furniture. Now, step on a ladder and clean the ceiling fans. Once the dust falls down, move it all over to the floor and top it off with vacuuming and mopping the floor.

Bedroom

Your bedroom is your sanctity, which is why we focus on deep bedroom cleaning. Start with the bed cleaning. Dust down the bed, including the foot and the head portions. Dust off the windowsills, clean the glass with a glass cleaner and dush the shelves as well as lamps. Now, take your vacuum and run it under the bed, the dressers, and even the cupboard. Your goal should be to declutter as well. Chuck out anything that isn't necessary. Then, move on to the linens. Your line is the hub for dead skin, hair, and even crumbs if you happen to indulge in some snacks while binging in bed. Change the linens and iron the sheets if you like. Once the linen job is done, reorganize your space, get rid of clutter, and put the things where they belong. Top it all off with sweeping and mopping the floors with a vacuum or a broom.

Bathroom

Whenever you start cleaning, take a moment to eliminate the clutter. Toss out the garbage, put everything in its proper place, and keep dirty clothes in the hamper, not on the floor.  Check to see whether trash cans and drawers have been cleared and that your dirty clothes are in a basket instead of on the ground. White vinegar can clear water stains and soap scum on the doors by heating it and topping it up every 30 minutes. After that, use a non-scratch cloth sprayed with baking soda to scrub the surface. Use glycerine soap and a scraper to keep the showers spotless for longer. When it comes to cleaning such a large and bulky object as a vinyl shower curtain or liner, the gentle setting in your washer is the best option. Before cleaning, detach the metal hooks and allow them to air dry. In the future, you can also consider adding a fan to the bathroom to help keep fungus at bay.

Kitchen

Remove everything you don't see yourself using in the next 3-4 weeks. Open the cupboard and start disposing of, duplicates and damaged cooking utensils. Fill a nearby bathtub with lukewarm water and dish soap and use it to wash the dishes. The griddle, oven pans, pots and grills, silverware box from the washer, and the compartments from the fridge will all be soaked. Cabinet doors and handles should be wiped off as well as framing and edges. Keep in mind the top of the fridge and the ventilation cover when cleaning. When cleaning your microwave and fridge, use a small suction pump of the vacuum to remove any flakes of food that have fallen down. Before putting in a new garbage bag, remove the old one and wipe and sanitize the bin. Clean the floor with a broom or mop, depending on what kind of surface you have.

Frequency of Cleaning

Microwaves, linens, dusting, and bathrooms should be cleaned every week or even frequently to ensure a sanitized placer. It is also advised to disinfect the different areas with high traffic and ones that are high-touch areas to reduce the number of germs and bacteria present.

This is why 365 Cleaning Services provides you the option to focus on other chores as we take over the grunt work.
