Happy New Year from all of us here at House Cleaning Columbia. If you’ve put ‘I’m gonna take more care of my home’ at the top of your list for things to do in 2019, Here are our suggestions for how you can achieve this…
Rotas
We’re bigger believers in the power of the list and making every member of your household contribute to the cleaning—yup, even the kids! List all the jobs and how often they should be carried out and who’s going to do them. For younger children, jobs shouldn’t involve anything risky such as cleaning toilets where strong chemicals can be involved, but tidying up toys isn’t dangerous.
Small but often, says House Cleaning Columbia
There are jobs you can do daily that contribute to a cleaner home and are made easier if you do them often. They include washing up immediately after meals while plates, pots and pans are still warm and the food hasn’t a chance to dry on. Cleaning the shower daily with a squeegee stops soap scum and mold building up. Hanging up towels properly after use helps them dry out so you don’t need to wash them as often. Putting everything in place before you go to bed means you come down to a tidy home.
Weekly chores
Vacuum your carpets weekly, although House Cleaning Columbia believes you need to do this more often if you have pets. Santize the toilet with cleaning products once a week, and use a brush so you can get in to all the nooks and crannies. Change the bed linen once a week for hygiene and wash at a warmer temperature to kill off dust mites.
Monthly jobs
Disinfect the trash cans thoroughly. Ice, salt and halved lemons make brilliant natural cleaners, the ice and salt working together to get rid of mess or goo, and the lemons freshening up the smell. Clean out the fridge, emptying out all the food and wiping down the surfaces. Again, lemon mixed with baking soda is a fabulous cleaning option which will also rid the fridge of any nasty odors. Wash the glass plates in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before returning.
