They say that cleanliness is next to Godliness. We understand the sentiment. While we don’t expect angels to come on high with trumpets because you cleaned your kitchen, you can expect to feel a sense of accomplishment and ease in your new home. Clutter and grime can make you feel depressed and agitated, so it’s imperative that you deep clean your home at least once a month. We’re here to help you do that. Check out our tips for giving your home the deep cleaning it needs below.
Plan and Prep
Planning and prepping are among the best ways to make spring and deep cleaning easy. You should know what kind of supplies you need, what rooms you want to tackle first, and even which parts of the room will make the most impact when you clean them so you can feel a sense of accomplishment before you finish. The deep cleaning process may take some time, depending on how the rooms are set up and what you need to get done. Schedule which rooms you’ll tackle on specific days and get to work!
Declutter Before You Deep Clean
This is a huge tip for giving your home the deep cleaning it needs. There’s nothing worse than stumbling over boxes and children’s toys strewn all over the floor when you’re trying to clean your baseboards or rearrange your furniture. Relocate or get rid of things you don’t need right away. Tidy up anything that doesn’t belong in the room you’re cleaning. If you need to, put things in different rooms so you don’t have to worry about them. Think of decluttering as the preliminary step to deep cleaning. Clutter obstructs the things you’re trying to clean, so ensure you move things out of the way ahead of time.
Start High, Go Low
Tackle the hard-to-reach places in each room first. Start with the ceiling-to-ceiling trim, fixtures, walls, and, finally, baseboards. Use microfiber cloths since they’re excellent at catching dust and grime. You can use long-hand dusters to get hard-to-reach places and clean your wooden furniture with wood cleaner. Ensure the chemicals you use aren’t too harsh on these surfaces. As long as you take everything we said into account, you should have a clean home in no time!
