Having – and keeping – a clean home is crucial if you want to be physically and mentally as fit as possible; it definitely has an impact on you when your home is dirty or messy.
And although regular cleaning is a good thing, and it’s great to get into a routine, you’ll also need to do some deep cleaning so you can tackle the hidden dirt and grime that accumulate overtime.
The good news is that you don’t have to deep clean everything every day, but there are a few places in the house that you’ll definitely need to factor into your routine and deep cleaning them every few months. Here are some to think about.
Windows
Windows can easily be overlooked when it comes to deep cleaning, but they actually play a crucial role in your home’s overall appearance, and they can even make a difference when it comes to air quality, so they can affect your health too. The fact is that dust, dirt, and general grime inside and outside can reduce the amount of natural light that comes into your home, making it gloomy, and because it happens gradually over time, you might not even realize.
Cleaning your windows inside isn’t such a tough job, although it will take some effort to do it well, but tackling the outside can be a lot more difficult, especially if it’s on a higher floor. If you’re finding it tricky, hiring experts to do your window cleaning for you is the best thing you can do.
Bathroom And Kitchen
Bathrooms and kitchens are high-traffic areas and they can get a lot dirtier than other rooms in your home just because of what they’re used for. So of course, that means these rooms need to be on your to-do list when it comes to deep cleaning.
Rather than just a quick wipe over to make things look clean, you’ll need to get right down into all the nooks and crannies, like the tiles and grout, all the fixtures like taps and showerheads, as well as handles, the shower curtain (something that’s often missed), and the toilet, which might not be a pleasant job, but will definitely need to be done – and don’t forget to clean under the rim and around the base to get it all cleaned.
Carpets
It’s easy to assume that your carpets are clean if they look clean and if you’ve run the vacuum cleaner over them every day (or even almost every day, which is what most people do because life is short and we don’t want to be vacuuming all the time!), but the truth is that the fibers can easily get lots of dirt and germs stuck to them, and a simple vacuum clean isn’t going to get them all up and gone.
If you want to clean your carpets properly, you can hire an industrial cleaner to do it, and you might want to try a wet vacuum as well, especially if there are stains that you can’t get rid of any other way. Steam cleaning is another good way to clean your carpets because the steam can penetrate right into the fibers and kill the bacteria that might be living there.
