A recent study indicated that most homeowners prefer not to clean their respective houses, for the simple reason that they despise this task above all else. Sure, cleaning one’s home sounds like a hard job, isn’t it? But then again, it is your home and if you are not keen on handling it on your own, you can always call in the professionals. But for those of you, keen to handle the house cleaning on your own, here are a few tips that should enable you to clean your entire house, quickly and efficiently, without much of a fuss. Make sure you take notes, as you review the tips listed below,
Cleaning the house
One can almost imagine the groans emanating from most homeowners, but if you are determined to clean your home quickly and efficiently, then you need to read this. If you are under the assumption that you need to dust, sweep and mop each room, one at a time – you are never going to get it done, and certainly not on the same day. Whether you are planning to clean your whole home or just planning to handle cleaning leather sofa, you would still need a plan on how to go about it. For starters, you may want to make sure you have adequate cleaning supplies, one or two clean mops, cleaning detergents, wipe cloths or rags to wipe the floor dry after the wet mop, and handy detergents. Just remember, that you would still require a detailed strategy on how to handle the whole cleaning process, from top to bottom.
Clean the clutter
Since you have started to clean your home, it is always a good idea to start with the clutter you would have accumulated. Sure, you may think that your home is already clean, but you would be surprised at what turns up when you do an objective assessment. For example, do you have any clutter, any items that you no longer require but just happen to be taking space in your basement? Then, that’s the prime example of clutter. And the same goes for all the members of your household, from your teenage son to your husband. Ask them to get rid of the clutter or you would; give them an ultimatum. Make sure you repeat the assessment after all the unwanted, useless, never-used stuff had all been thrown out. Once that’s done, you can go ahead with the actual cleanup.
Dusting
Before you take that duster in your hand, make sure that you are wearing a simple mask over your face. Wearing one prevents you from inhaling any dust particles as it tends to cause sneezing. And wear old clothes; now you can move from the bottom to the top attic or the other way about. But make sure that all the fans are switched off and make sure that you dust all the areas, and even the hard-to-reach areas such as the top of the cupboard, back of the TV set, and even under the sofa. Once it is complete, you should have managed to gather a fair amount of dust; this is your cue to go to the next step and that’s vacuuming.
Vacuum the house
One of the neat things about utilizing a vacuum cleaner to clean the home is that it manages to get this done rather quickly. All you need is a vacuum cleaner with a powerful motor and additional accessories and you should be able to sweep up all the dust in no time at all. Just make sure that you use the vacuum cleaner on the leather sofa, under the covers, and even under it. And the same process is to be repeated at other areas of your home, with the result that your home should remain dust-free. Do keep in mind that you can also use your vacuum cleaner and a broomstick to clean the ceilings as well.
These are some of the essential quick house cleaning tips that you would need to implement, at the earliest.
