Cleaning the home

Keeping the home clean and organised can seem like a daunting task, but only so when you delay it out a lot. So, if you wish to lessen the month-end workload of the deep clean, here are a few simple steps to keep the home clean.

​Make your bed every day

Starting your day by making the bed sets a kind of routine for the day which helps you be more active and organised. It only takes a couple of minutes and can make a difference in how neat your space feels.

​Wash the clothes regularly

To lessen the weekend workload, try to wash your clothes at least twice a week. The best would be to wash one batch on Wednesday and the other on Saturday or Sunday. This will help ensure that you always have clean clothes.

​Sweep the kitchen top

The kitchen is one of the most frequently used areas in a home, and it can become messy quickly. So, clean your kitchen daily by wiping down counters, washing dishes, and sweeping the floor.

​Clean the dinner table immediately

After every meal, clean the dinner table immediately. Wipe it down, and put away any leftovers so that food scraps and spills don’t attract insects.

​Cleaning the appliances

While this seems like a very big task, it is important to set aside one day each month to thoroughly clean all the household appliances. The oven, microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine should be cleaned at least once a month.

​Closet cleaning

The closet is where the clothes are and it is important to sweep it well when the seasons change. So, next time when you put the summer clothes back inside, before arranging the winter clothes, give the almirah a nice cleaning.

​Rugs and carpets

The rugs and carpets can get dirty fast. So, try to vacuum them once a week and clean and dry them well before putting them away for the next season.

​Vacuuming

To lessen the month-end cleaning process, vacuum all around the house at least once a week. This will help keep the dust, dirt, and allergens away.

​Don’t wait for the trash can to fill

Make it a habit to empty the trash every day without fail. Overflowing or filled-to-the-brim garbage bins can lead to unpleasant odours and attract pests.

Bedsheets and pillow covers

To reduce the washing load, change and clean the bed sheets and pillow covers once a week. If not the bedsheet, make sure to change the pillow covers as they carry a lot of dust, sweat, and dirt.

Canva

Fridge cleaning

Cleaning the fridge once a month will help dispose of any expired or rotting food so that other food items are not contaminated and the fridge does not start to smell.

Saltwater mopping

Every week, pick a day to mop the whole house with warm salt water. This will help remove grime and sanitise surfaces. It is also believed to remove negativity from the house, in some cultures.
