Deep Cleaning Your House

Deep cleaning of your home safeguards you from diseases and allergens. The dirt we don't see on the surface poses the highest risk to your health. This is why it's best to squeeze time or get professional cleaners at least once or twice a month to deep clean all the nooks and crannies of your home.

Here's how to undertake deep cleaning in your house.

Clear Out the Clutter

Decluttering should be the first step, as it helps ease the work of moving things around. Evaluating and prioritizing your belongings by order of need and usage is best. Thus, start by eliminating what you don't need or haven't used in a while. 

You would be surprised by how many things you have in your home that you could easily go without. You could donate what you don't need or throw it away in the trash. Eliminating clutter makes your house more spacious and cleaner.

Vacuuming

Vacuuming helps in getting rid of dust that has accumulated over time. You could vacuum your couch, carpets, floors, and even mattresses. This also helps in getting rid of dust mites that might have accumulated. Moreover, it also helps safeguard from existing or new respiratory problems that may arise from breathing accumulated dust.

Deep Cleaning Your Floors

If you have tile or wood floors, you could dust your floors and use wood cleaning agents or ceramic floor detergents. For ceramic floors, you could use tile cleaners with acids that help clean the grout and return it to its original colour. Do this for the whole house. 

Cleaning Your Living Room

Your living room is probably the most visited part of your house, so it must be sparkly clean. The first step is by vacuuming and dusting your couch and carpets. Remove the cushion covers if you can and wash them. 

Wipe down all surfaces while not forgetting to move the furniture and appliances like the TV, home theatre, and even the radiator to get dirt hiding below and behind them.

Washing of Linens, Clothes, and Bedding

Remove all your dirty linens, curtains, bedding duvet, pillows, and pillowcases for the bedrooms, and load them in your washer. This not only helps create space by not having a full laundry bin but also helps get rid of the dirt and pests that might have stuck on dirty clothes and linens.

Deep clean them by using hot water and bleach if the need arises to get rid of harmful bacteria and stains that they might have on them. 

Sort Your Laundry

After they are all clean and dry, you might opt to iron fold and sort them in your closet by any order you prefer. This is either by clothing colour or the seasonality of wearing them. Sorting helps when choosing what clothes to wear as it saves time. You could fit back your curtains and make your bed after you're done.

Deep Cleaning the Kitchen

This is where a lot of dirt might be hiding. The first step is cleaning out unused food in the fridge or pantry. Clean your fridge by removing all inserts and cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Move appliances like the fridge and stove if they are movable, and use a mop wash behind them. 

After you are done, clean all dirty utensils and the dishwasher, microwave, and oven, as most people forget. Finally, organise and clean all worktops and cupboards. Ensure you get the tops of the cupboards as grease and dirt tend to stick on them; since they are out of sight, they are usually out of mind.

Cleaning the Bathroom

Clear out all dirty rugs and towels and clean them. Use toilet cleaning agents on the bowl, brush and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before flushing. After you are done, do the same for the sink and the countertops. 

Make sure to clean your floors by mopping deep and brushing them to eliminate dirt and scum that might make you slip and fall.
