Our Top 8 Everyday Cleaning Tips
Making cleaning that little bit easier.
01
Clear the clutter
Clear away any rubbish or clutter before you start to clean. This will ensure that you can clean productively without the need for clearing away clutter at the same time. This leaves a clear pathway ready to clean.
03
Start from the top & work your way to the bottom
Always start dusting, wiping and cleaning up high and work your way down, sweeping, hoovering and mopping up the dirt from the floors last. This will ensure that you are not missing any dirt of the floors and stops the spread of dust ect settling on surfaces that may have already been cleaned. Don't forget to sweep/hoover before mopping the floors.
02
Gather all your cleaning tools in a caddy
Make sure that you have everything you need before you start cleaning organised in a cleaning caddy. This will ensure that you are not spending most of your time looking for products and tools that you will need.
This helps you to clean more productively and efficiently.
04
Don't forget to clean your cleaning tools regularly
After all, you can't clean something with equipment and tools that are dirty. Put your tools in a disinfectant solution after each use, making them ship, shape and shiny to use again next time.
05
Don't be so hard on yourself
Remember there are some tasks that don't need to be completed each week. These include waxing furniture, washing rugs and carpets and cleaning internal windows. Inspect these and use your own judgement.
07
Take extra time on bath tubs, showers, sinks & toilets
Spray cleaner/disinfectant on these areas and leave it for a few minutes so that the cleaner has time to dissolve the dirt and any stains. Always clean the toilets last to avoid spreading germs around to other areas.
06
Disinfect work tops & surface areas
Wipe down all surface, from work tops, appliances, cabinets, door handles, light switches and TV remotes, particularly the ones that may deliver germs to people's hands and faces. This can be done using a general disinfectant solution.
08
Lastly... Make cleaning a family activity
Cleaning can be a team effort to take the pressure of just one person after that hectic week at work and everything else that comes with day to life. Set a schedule and a time in advance, assigning tasks to each person. Working together can also add some fun to the cleaning (Yes we said it...cleaning can be fun!) Your home will be sparkling in no time.
