As a renter or homeowner, it’s important to be proud of the upkeep of your home, whether that be in the occasional renovation or simply getting some cleaning and tidying done. When it comes to cleaning, you’ll likely have a number of go-to areas that you’re aware require constant hygienic maintenance, like the porcelain in your bathroom, the areas in which you prepare food, and your bed sheets. But in the rush of a spring clean, you’ll often overlook areas that could use a spruce; here are some of those unexpected areas.
Cupboards
Inside your food cupboards may lurk decades-old tins of soup, leaking sauce bottles, and other sticky substances that you never quite get to the bottom of in your quest to keep a clean and tidy home. It’s one of those rarely seen areas of your home that nonetheless requires a clean once in a while. Remove the contents of your cupboards and reorganize them – throwing away out of date products – and give the surfaces a thorough wipe-down before replacing the items, removing any sticky patches or leak stains.
Carpets
Carpets go through a lot in a home, and it’s largely because you see them every day that their slow descent into an off-color can go unnoticed for so long. Adding your carpets into your larger cleaning regime will mean you prevent your carpet’s decline into murkiness; using mytechnicare.com and their carpet-cleaning expertise is quick, cheap and easy, and you’ll almost certainly be stunned by the difference a bright, clean carpet can make on the overall appearance of a room, lifting it into a more comfortable and clean aesthetic.
Upholstery
Exactly the same goes for your upholstery and especially those comfy seats that you relax in after work with a snack and a beverage. Used every day in a relaxed and therefore occasionally clumsy capacity, they’ll have picked up all sorts of stains and spills over the months and giving them a complete once-over will establish a nice even finish on the fabric that you rest each night. Don’t forget any cushions and pillows in your home too, which will look by far the brighter and more attractive once given a clean – they take the brunt of your relaxation stains, even if their patterns or fabric hides the damage.
Dust Traps
Dusting is firmly in the once-a-week cleaning regime as surfaces, shelves, and mantlepieces quickly gather dust in a home that’s thriving with activity. Dust can cause sneezing and other respiratory problems and is best removed regularly and thoroughly, so it’s therefore important to not only clean the superficial, cosmetic dust from surfaces visible to those who visit your home, but also all those dust traps that accumulate piles of the stuff silently out of sight. Think behind the television, across skirting boards, and along any surface that’s partially obscured by objects.
Bear in mind these tips so that your cleaning regime is consistently ridding your home of even the more hidden forms of dust, dirt, and grime that you may have before overlooked.
