Time Tidbits: Housecleaning Tips

Housecleaning seems like a burden for many. While this may be true, but if you let the mess accumulate in your house, then the burden becomes overwhelming, and now you feel doubly helpless. So, when the dirt is manageable enough to clean, and the clutter is less enough to not mount over your head and numb you, grab a broom or turn on the vacuum cleaner before you house starts giving a feeling of a godown or a garage.

If you don’t have the time to clean your house, or you don’t want to feel like a laborer, then you may hire house cleaning services for this purpose. Whichever way you do, make a point to keep it spick and span. A dirty and dull house makes a rich man’s mansion look like a hut. So, if you don’t want to let your guests speak ill about your grand apartment or don’t want to evade them for further visits, then keep your house sparkling clean and beautiful.

If you are someone who loves to have frequent parties and have a large number of friends who make regular visits to your house, you can’t afford to have a messy house. If you have left your house unattended for months together and want to clean and revamp it immediately for an upcoming event, take the help of residential property management services if you aren’t a pro at doing it yourself.

1.    Alcohol-based cleanser is the best thing to use for rubbing floors, walls, kitchen surfaces, table tops, and other corners. Use an antiseptic or an alcohol-based cleanser, put few drops into water, and sponge all these surfaces thoroughly.

2.    Clean mirrors using specialized mirror cleaning solutions. These surfaces are sensitive and easily attract dusty, grime, and grease. Gently rub glass and mirror surfaces in your house and clean them daily. Nobody likes to watch their images through such dirty mirrors.

3.    Cob webs and stubborn dirt are best cleaned using electronic equipment like a vacuum cleaner. Manual cleaning using brooms isn’t effective for such dirt.

4.    Keep electronic equipment in the best condition. Never let water or other fluids drip or spill on them. If they have, clean them immediately else these are liable to damage and produce sparks. Never let water or sunlight be near such equipment. Care for these and save yourself from undue accidents.

5.    Pest control is a very crucial step for keeping your house clean. With an effective insecticide spray or other measures, keep pests away. I am sure nobody likes cockroaches crawling on the floors, lizards sneaking on the walls, or bedbugs sucking your blood and disturbing your sleep at night.
