There’s nothing quite like walking into a freshly cleaned home. Those of you who have your homes cleaned by a professional service know the fresh scent left behind once the cleaning technicians are done.
You can’t help but want to have your home in that pristine condition all the time! We understand that having your home cleaned out on the daily is unreasonable, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t prolong the cleanliness in your home.
Here are some ways to maintain cleanliness in your home after a maid service leaves:
Keep your home clutter free
Other than the fresh scent of cleaning products used by cleaning technicians, the clutter free space is what homeowners seek to achieve. The only way to achieve this is to have designated areas for everything. Once every item in your home has a place, it’s only a matter of keeping it back whenever you’re done.
Prevent dirt from coming in
To truly maintain the cleanliness after a professional cleaning service you have to ensure dust and dirt isn’t entering a home. Keep the windows shut at all times and make sure doors aren’t being left open too. Have family members take their shoes off at the entrance as well.
Change air filters
Air filters of a home trap contaminants from getting into the HVAC system and prevent them from contaminating the air indoors too. However, the dust, dirt, pet hair, and allergens that enter a home clog up the air filters of this system. These filters need to be replaced on a regular basis to maintain indoor air quality. Homes with pets require a filter change every 30 to 60 days, while homes without pets can have these filters changed on a biannual basis.
Clean pets in one area only
Those of you who have pets will know the struggle of containing pet hair. Pet hair is bound to be all over the place. You can aim to reduce the amount of pet hair around your house by brushing your pet in a designated area of the home. This will help reduce fur and pet dander from depositing on your couch, carpet, and yourself. Make sure they are being cleaned in such an area as well. For larger breeds you can bathe them in the garden too.
Clean on the go
Deal with any cleaning situation the moment it happens. Whether your pet has had an accident on the couch or carpet, or you’ve spilled a drink, tend to the problem there and then. This prevents the spread of stains, moisture buildup, foul odor, and bacterial buildup. The longer you let such issues fester, the more damage it will cause.
Keep cleaning supplies in stock at all times to encourage you to keep your home clean. Clean the countertops once a day if you cook on the daily, disinfect surfaces, etc.
