Cleaning your home on a regular basis can be a difficult task. Prioritising the work is one way to make your cleaning schedule easier. There are household tasks that need to be done either daily, weekly or monthly. By creating a comprehensive cleaning schedule for your house, you will be able to improve your efficiency and focus on other important tasks in your home.
Here are five simple cleaning tasks that can be scheduled for every month:
1. Wash the walls
Walls can get dirty quite easily, especially if you have kids or pets. Sticky fingerprints, scuff marks, mud splatters, pen drawings and dust patches can all be inflicted upon the walls by children and animals. Walls can also be home to unwanted bacteria that are unsafe for your family. Even though it seems like a big task, it is important to wipe down the walls once a month to keep your home looking new and hygienic.
2. Clean under the couch
There is often a large build-up of dirt and dust underneath the chairs and couches. This can be unhealthy to anyone in your home that suffers from allergies and asthma. Vacuuming under the couch needs to be done every week, but if you have pets you may want to vacuum more regularly to remove fur. The couch can also be cleaned while doing this by vacuuming underneath the cushions and inside the creases to minimise dust in your home.
3. Clean the washing machine
You may think that a washing machine cleans itself while it washes your clothes. However, if you do not clean your washing machine on a monthly basis, it can leave your clothes with stains and dirt. You can prevent any damage to your clothes and ensure that your washer will function properly by rinsing the filters and scrubbing the inside of the drum. Use eco-friendly cleaning products to ensure that no harmful chemicals are left behind on your clothes.
4. Clean the fridge
A clean fridge and deep freeze is the best way to keep your home healthy and tidy. When you decide to clean out your fridge, do so before you go shopping or when it is rubbish collection day. This will help you to reduce the number of items that need to be put back into the fridge and will mean that discarded food doesn’t rot inside your dustbin for days on end. While cleaning your fridge, wipe down the top of it to remove any dust and oily grime.
5. Clean the corners of your house
Whether it’s the floors or ceilings, the corners of your home are often forgotten about but these little crevices can gather dust and cobwebs. Your ceilings must also be dusted along with the skirting boards, at least once a month. A vacuum also works well to remove cobwebs and dirt in the corners of your rooms.
Cleaning the small parts of your home can make the biggest difference in appearance and hygiene. Create a monthly schedule of these five tips and feel free to add more. If you find yourself overwhelmed with the amount of cleaning to do in your home, feel free to contact a professional who will ensure that your home is absolutely spotless.
