Tips for Everyday Cleaning of Your Home
The essential daily cleaning helps us to cut off scrubbing and scouring to a great extent while cleaning in the future. It also comes with the advantage of keeping your space free from harmful germs and bacteria, which can be a threat to our general health.
Clean the Dirty Dishes
You can always skip pre-rinsing as today’s machines and detergents make it unnecessary. It saves you a lot of time as well as resources. Enzymes in the dishwasher work wonders when they can attach themselves to the food particles.
Clean Your Coffee Maker
Start with washing the removable parts of your coffee maker using warm soapy water. You can also choose to stick dishwasher-safe parts in the machine. Also, make sure that you wipe down the warming plates to avoid spilling.
Sanitize the Sinks
Eraser-type sponges can be used to remove the stains and marks on the sinks easily. Follow this step by sanitizing the area by plugging the drain of the sink, and filling the basin with warm water and a spoon of bleach. Rinse the sink off after letting it sit for five minutes.
Tips for Weekly Cleaning of Your Home
There are numerous benefits to weekly house cleaning. To make it all easier, tackle one job a day since this will keep you away from the feeling of doing everything all at once. For instance, devote different days to different tasks such as cleaning the kitchen, bring out the vacuum, changing sheets, and so on.
Tips for Monthly Cleaning of Your Home
The best way to make monthly cleaning at your space easy is to schedule the tasks for different days and delegating the jobs to your partner. Who doesn’t feel better when their work is shared at the end of the day?
Clean Your Washing Machine
You can use a special washer cleaner cycle on newer models of washing machines or specialty cleaners and run them on a gentle cycle.
Clean Vacuum
Change the bag of your vacuum cleaner when it is three-quarters full for strong suction, and replace the filter when it becomes torn or dirty.
Wash the Dishwasher
Fill a large glass measuring cup with two cups of vinegar and place it on the top rack of the dishwasher to descale your machine. Follow this by running the dishwasher without using detergent.
Tips for Cleaning Your Home Every Three to Six Months
Clean Inside of Oven
Clean the loose bits of food inside the oven with a damp sponge. You can then use the self-cleaning function of the oven to remove burnt-on dirt. Make sure that you wash the racks in the sink using warm water and a heavy-duty scrub sponge.
