5 Spring Cleaning Tips during COVID-19
Spring has arrived! We can feel the temperature rising, see the flowers bloom, and hear the birds chirping. What a great opportunity to indulge in a spring cleaning adventure. We find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic which means spring cleaning will not only get rid of dust mites and mold spores but also help protect us against viruses and bacteria. This alone should be plenty of motivation to set about spring cleaning your home. We want to make this process easier for you by providing you with 5 tips for spring cleaning during COVID-19.
Traditionally spring cleaning includes chores like:
– Window cleaning
– Carpet cleaning
– Dusting
– Polishing
– Waxing
As you complete these tasks be sure to keep our tips in mind to ensure a clean and disinfected home. With the outbreak of COVID-19 disinfecting surfaces has become as important as cleaning surfaces. Check out where to focus your disinfection efforts in our article “Disinfecting Your Home or Workplace“ .
- DON’T DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE
Trying to do all your spring cleaning at once will quickly leave you overwhelmed which is why we encourage you to break it up into manageable sections. We recommend dividing your home into areas, choose to do room by room or surface by surface. You decide what works best for you and your home and do it.
- POLISH BRASS & STAINLESS STEEL
Do you remember the shine of your new kitchen appliances? You can easily polish your brass and stainless steel appliances for that sparkling look. Start by cleaning your stainless steel with a soft cloth to remove dirt and dust. Next, you can use a microfiber towel soaked in olive oil to buff the steel. Buff again with a dry cloth to ensure you get the sparkling look.
- GET WIPING
Cleaning our windows is not something that comes to mind often. Now is the perfect time to do some window cleaning since we find ourselves spending more time inside. Try to clean both the inside and outside of your windows. While you’re at it why not wash the drapes and wipe down the blinds? Might as well enjoy the view!
- DEEP CLEAN YOUR CARPETS
Although most of us try to vacuum our carpets often, they still accumulate a lot of dirt and dust. It is very important that you do a deep clean on your carpets often. We offer carpet cleaning services . Our professional cleaning process profoundly penetrates all sides of the carpet fiber to remove sticky and oily soil safely. Between deep cleans, you can keep your carpet clean by vacuuming underneath furniture, inside closets, and under beds.
- DECLUTTER WHILE DUSTING
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to declutter while dusting. We suggest you use a plastic container, and as you move around your home dusting fill it up with things that are no longer of use to you. A decluttered home often appears cleaner than a cluttered home. When you dust remember to empty all shelves and dust thoroughly, dust ceiling fans and the tops of windows and moldings. Most important remember to disinfect surfaces as you dust and rearrange.
We hope you find joy in a freshly spring-cleaned home. If you need professional cleaning services, feel free to contact us.
