It’s a great feeling to have your house professionally cleaned, but unfortunately it does not last forever. Luckily, with some simple tricks, you can keep your home shining bright in between routine professional maid service cleanings.
Keep Clutter to a Minimum
Nothing ruins the sense of calm and peace in a clean home like clutter. Strive to keep clutter at bay throughout your home, especially in relaxing areas of your home like your bedroom. In addition, the more clutter in your home, the harder it will be for you to keep up on routine cleaning between cleaning visits. For tips on clutter control, read more here.
Take Off your Shoes
Think about everywhere you stepped today – do you want that brought into your home? Probably not! Keep your floors looking clean and fresh, and keep outdoor allergens, dirt, and bacteria out of your home. Always take off your shoes inside!
Air Out your Bathroom
A warm and moist bathroom is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. To keep your bathroom looking consistently fresh, keep the vent on, windows open, and leave the shower door or curtain open for 30 minutes after showering. Make sure to squeegee or wipe down the shower walls after each shower use. This will help prevent mold, mildew, and soap scum buildup in your bathroom.
Vacuum Pet Fur
Pet fur can buildup fast – and while your professional cleaning service will vacuum it up, to keep things in a good state, you should strive to vacuum it a couple times a week. Not only your floors, but your furniture too. This will help keep your home in a much cleaner state.
Active Kitchen Cleanup
Develop an “active kitchen cleanup” routine, which will help to prevent kitchen buildup. As food spills and splatters while cooking, clean it up immediately before it becomes a hardened on stain. Do your dishes or load your dishwasher as you cook – there is nothing worse than a disaster kitchen to tackle AFTER eating your well earned meal. Follow these tips to help keep your kitchen in top shape.
Taking care of these simple steps will work wonders to keep your home in better shape between professional cleaning appointments!
