A Comfortable Stay

Posted on: 21 August 2020

Your house is going to need to be cleaned from time to time, but you may not know how often to clean some of the areas of your home. If you aren't sure how often to clean, you can hire a professional cleaning service to do the work for you instead, or you can tackle these things on your own. Read on for helpful tips to help you know how often you should clean some of the areas of your home.

Daily

Each and every day, there are things around your home that need to be cleaned and picked up. Clean your counters daily, after every meal. Wipe down all food surfaces to remove sticky buildup and crumbs. Also sweep your floors daily, especially in kitchen areas where there could be a lot of crumbs on the floor as well. Make sure you are washing your dishes daily and not leaving dishes in the sink, where they can mold if left too long. Sinks can also attract bugs or other pests if you have food leftover on your dishes in the sink. Wipe down counters in the bathroom each day, as well as the mirror. Make your bed daily and pick up around your home. If you have a load of wash you can do, do a load so you aren't allowing it to build up throughout the week.

Weekly

Each week (or more often if you have pets) you should dust the hard surfaces of your home and vacuum your carpeting, wash your bedding, and clean your floors. Vacuum your couches, wipe down windows and clean any pet areas. This is also the time you should clean your bathroom - toilet, sink, bathtub/shower. All of this cleaning can sometimes take up a lot of time, so if you don't have time during the week, save this for your weekend chores.

Monthly

Monthly cleaning is made for deep cleaning. This is when you should remove the rugs from your home to shake them out and deep clean your counters and your floors. If you can, wipe down the walls of your home, as well as the doors and knobs. Vacuum your mattresses after stripping down the bedding, and clean your bedding as well. Remove your couch cushions and shake out pillows and throws, and vacuum the interior of your couches, as well as beneath furniture in your home. Wipe down all light fixtures as well.

If you aren't sure how often you should be cleaning your home, use the information above as a guide. If you are someone who would rather do anything other than clean their home, hire a professional house cleaning service to do all of this cleaning for you.
