Does it seem to you that certain friends or neighbors achieve the miraculous—a clean house whenever you step inside?
Some people seem to have a talent for it. Just as others manage the opposite. We often joke that we have a spouse/partner/child who makes a room messy just by walking in. (Or maybe we refer to ourselves!) But ‘naturally’ clean, tidy folks follow rules, as we at House cleaning Falls Church HQ have noticed through the years…
House cleaning Falls Church rules
Here’s what they do:
Clean up as they go. Particularly in the kitchen. Women often complain their husband will use every pot, pan and kitchen implement whenever he creates his culinary masterpiece. If you wash up and put away as you go along, life becomes 100 percent easier. It is also safer.
Have a place for everything. Coats and shoes? At the front door or porch. Paperwork? Neatly filed away in a drawer upstairs. Keys? In a purpose-built cabin or a chic china dish near the door. The added bonus here is that you can find something quickly and easily too.
Take their shoes off. Yup, removing outdoor shoes when you enter a home is the number one best way not to bring in dirt. And as we at house cleaning Falls Church have said before, this cleaning trick has another knock-on effect. Your carpets will last longer. In summer, if you are barefoot you get to strengthen the feet muscles too.
Nifty storage tricks
They are clever with storage. Boxes under beds, over the door storage hangers in wardrobes for underwear or shoes. Neat wicker baskets in the bathroom to hold towels and toiletries.
They declutter regularly. Any household cleaning expert will tell you. Getting rid of what you do not need or love is a cleaning must-have. An easy way to start is to place a bag in your hallway. Resolve to put something in it every day that you mean to dispose of—whether that is in the bin or to a charity shop. Make sure that bag is emptied every week and carry on.
They keep surfaces smooth. Tidy away paperwork from desks. Do not allow appliances to sit out on kitchen counters and put away all cutlery, crockery and implements. That way, those surfaces look better and are easier to wipe down.
They hire expert help. Well, of course we are going to say that! Yes, the final secret of an eternally clean home is… ta-dah! House cleaning Falls Church expert services in the DC Metro area.
