A clean home represents a haven from the world. With the importance of hygiene highlighted in the past years, we all strive for excellence in that field. With all the daily chores piling up, it may seem like keeping a clean home is an impossible task to keep your home nice and clean. But in reality, you are only a couple of steps away so let’s get started!
1. Consistency
Day in and day out. Most people dread cleaning as they have a vision of mountains of dirty clothes, neglected rooms and a never-ending list of chores. A key to your healthy home starts with regular cleaning. This can be achieved by doing one room each day, or designating one or two days per week for general cleaning. Whatever your choice may be, don’t deviate from the schedule, and you will see how easy it is to clean.
2. Step by step
When you are facing a large list, the most important item to take care of first is the biggest one on it. After you’ve done what seems the biggest step, everything else will seem trivial. Doing any chore or task is better than letting them pile up.
3. Declutter
A clean house is a reflection of a clear mind. Order, organization, and neatness are all pillars on which you can build your clean home. Mental health or good health, in general, are all the by-products of a clean home and vice versa. Achieving a clean home starts by acknowledging that you may have a bit too much crammed in. Each room has its necessary elements, and when you cram too much into one, they suffocate each other. Getting rid of obvious and unnecessary items will make it easier to clean any room. The fewer items you have crammed in, the fewer items you have to clean and for dirt to fall on.
4. Small items matter a lot
You are not alone in your quest for a clean home. Besides the obvious tools and products that can help you, about which we will talk in a second, some appliances can help with the overall hygiene of any room. An elegant and discrete air freshener in your living room keeps the atmosphere of cleaners and freshens for a prolonged period. Having a quality and pro washroom hand dryer at your bathroom door keeps your hygiene up long after you’ve left the bathroom. Each of your rooms can have that one special appliance that keeps the hygiene levels up.
5. Tools for the job
No craft can is possible without the proper tools for the job, and you can ask any craftsman about it. The craft at hand here is making your home clean, and you should use any means you can. We advise you to go with natural and family-friendly products that protect your health, don’t exhume toxic chemicals, and are safe for usage.
Couple that with a good quality vacuum, clean mop, microfiber cloth, and dry towels, and you are good to go. Anything besides the bare necessities is only a plus that will make your job even easier, but we advise moderation in all. Going for a top-of-the-line cleaning appliance is needlessly expensive, as many middle-tier products do the job just as well. You are trying to clean up your home, not your banking account.
6. Call the pros
We all need a helping hand from time to time. If the job still seems impossible or overwhelming, you can always invite a friend over to help you. Or you can do some googling and find the best cleaning services nearby. The time you get and the energy you can save are worth more than you will pay them.
7. Cook, clean, and repeat
When you cook, always clean up during the process and immediately after. Rince dishes and stuff the dishwasher. Put plates and utensils away the moment they are clean. Don’t leave leaves hanging around but freeze or dispose of them. Your kitchen needs to always be clean, and doing these small steps makes it so at all times.
8. Vacuum&mop
The simplest answer is always the best one. Vacuuming is only half the battle when you are cleaning your apartment. After vacuuming, where you will remove the largest bits of dirt and whatnot, you can now freely mop up, take care of any slate flooring stains and add that fresh scent and shine to your home. Keep your mop next to the vacuum, and you will never forget this important addition.
The quest for your clean home starts now and with a single swipe. Once you clean up one room, the results spill over to the adjacent one, and further. Soon your clean home will become an addiction and standard you cannot live with, and you will wonder how you ever managed to live in filth. With a clean home, you will always have something to look forward to when coming back!
