Tips to Keep Your Home Clean Longer
A clean home is quite essential, if you wish to ensure a healthy life for you
and your family. Following are a few specific areas where you should put
extra efforts to maintain cleanliness.
Floors
More than 75% of dirt in a house is the dry, tracked-in kind. Place
doormats of high quality toothed, bristly material like Astroturf to leave
dirt and grit outdoors. Make it a habit to leave your shoes on the porch
before entering your home.
Dust usually settles down into gouges on floors made by furniture and
eventually turns into grime which is tougher to clean. You can place corks
by cutting them into disks and then glue these disks to the bottoms of
furniture or heavy pottery, you can also stick on adhesive felt pads.
Carpets are another area where you need to take extra care to ensure
cleanliness. You can hire an expert carpet cleaner who can ensure high
quality carpet cleaning. North Sydney and Northern Beaches are the
places where you can easily find a renowned pressure and steam
cleaning company. Carpet cleaning Neutral Bay based companies are
known for providing high quality services.
Artwork
Wear a pair of white cotton gloves, before rearranging paintings on walls.
Natural oils from your hands and dust seeps onto artwork, resulting is
complete damage of the colour over time.
Furniture
Ensure that you keep a small dusting cloth in various handy places
throughout your home or living spaces. Put the dusting cloth in a coffee-
table drawer, on a nightstand and wherever you can find it easily. This
enables you to just grab the dusting cloth and clean the furniture or
decorative pieces anytime you notice a dirt accumulation.
Choose patterned upholstery as it can conceal dust better than solid
fabric.
Wipe pets with a dry-cleaning sponge, a microfiber cloth, or a specialty
pet wipe. This helps in reducing the quantity of dander on the upholstery.
Walls
Always maintain a reasonable distance between wells and your furniture.
Arrange furniture at least six inches away from the walls and don’t flush
against them. This ensures that there are fewer smudges from bumping to
tend to later. The space left also allows you an easier access to dusty corners
that need extra efforts to reach out.
Window Coverings
You should open and close window and its treatments such as curtains,
blinds or shades) often as it will displace the dust settled on the fabric. Don’t
let the dust sit-in until you get around cleaning it. Run a dust mop over the
floor, when it falls to the surface.
Cleaning Mirrors
People often buy paper towels and glass cleaners to clean their mirrors. You
can also use some vinegar and some old newspapers to keep your mirrors
shining as new. A home with clean mirrors looks amazing and attractive.
