A simple home that is spotlessly clean is always more pleasing than a palatial one that is dusty and unkempt. Many of us tend to postpone cleaning till we’re just a day away from a Diwali or a Christmas. While this cleaning is important, it is even more critical that you keep your house clean at all times. Regular cleaning includes something as simple as making your bed to a more rigorous process of cleaning the fan.

Here are some pointers to keep in mind for your regular cleaning sessions!

Don’t forget those oft-forgotten corners

Under the bed and behind the sofa are some spots we all tend to miss in our regular cleaning sessions. Behind curtains and doors are also similar spots that accumulates dust. Just because they don’t catch our immediate attention, don’t ignore them for too long.

Degrease kitchen cabinets

Kitchen cabinets accumulate a pile of grease from regular use. While we might wipe the cabinets regularly, to remove those tough oil stains, you need a little more than that regular wiping. Use cleaners specifically made to remove these stubborn grease marks.

Sanitise your sink

Our kitchen sinks sees a lot of bacteria on a daily basis. Other than just the quick rinsing we might do by the end of the day, sinks require a thorough cleaning at least once a week. Use a powerful anti-bacterial cleanser for this purpose.

Dust the less used

The curios in the cupboard, the photos on the wall and the frame of that table lamp are all objects that might accumulate dust due to lack of use. These pieces, kept for their aesthetic beauty loses their charm if not maintained well.

Declutter and dispose

Cluttered homes offer various avenues for dust to accumulate and are difficult to clean. Regularly declutter and dispose old and unused things. As a rule, give away clothes that are unused for more than a year. Check the expiry of perishable items and dispose the ones that has crossed the expiry. But following regularly, the house would be less cluttered and easier to maintain.

Clean your sofa

Many of us tend to neglect the dust and dirt that can settle between the creases of your sofa. Regular cleaning not only keeps the sofa as good as new, it also improves the longevity of the piece. The process of cleaning differs with the upholstery used on the sofa. Get the help of a professional while dealing with this delicate piece.

If cleaning your house is getting the better of you, hire a professional cleaning service to do the job for you. For an enviably spotless home, do a thorough cleaning at least once a month.  As this involves more rigorous processes beyond our regular sessions, it is advisable to handover this task to a trusted residential cleaning professional!
