How often do you actually deep clean your home? Most of us are so comfortable with ordinary regular cleaning that we tend to forget important areas, both inside and outside our houses, that need occasional special attention when it comes to cleaning. But you may wonder, what exactly is deep cleaning? It’s simply the complete and routine cleaning process that includes removing visible dirt, as well as the unseen bacteria and germs. Consider it more of an intense cleaning process compared to regular cleaning, which involves cleaning basically every single thing in the house.
The mere thought of deep cleaning could be tiresome, we know, but with these simple tips and tricks, you will definitely find it easier, more manageable, and maybe even fun to do.
Make a list
List down everything you want to accomplish during the deep cleaning. This will help you be more organized, as it will be easier to move from one task to another without having to waste time, wondering what to do next.
Clear the clutter first
This is the first step as you begin cleaning. Get rid of, or rather, donate stuff that you have and are not exactly using. This could include clothes, shoes, kids’ toys, ornaments, and even furniture. Clearing the clutter makes deep cleaning easier plus seeing those tidy surfaces can help boost your motivation to keep going. It also helps you focus on exactly what needs to be done for your deep cleaning.
Get your supplies in order
Simply make up an on-the-go cleaning kit; this could be anything like a bucket or container. Fill it with everything you’ll need from multi-purpose cleaners, sponges, rags, brushes, and sprays. This way, you will be able to move easily from room to room, without stopping to worry about which products you have on hand. Feel free to include safe, natural household cleaners such as baking soda and vinegar, so you can spend less money on purchasing cleaning supplies.
Start high, go low
Tackle large, hard-to-reach surfaces in this order: ceiling, ceiling trim, ceiling light fixtures including bulbs, walls, the rest of the trim, and baseboards. When you do this, you will avoid double work that could come up because of dirtying already cleaned floors or surfaces. It also helps you be more organized in your cleaning.
Clean room by room
This is actually one of the most effective ways of deep cleaning your home. Using your checklist, go through all specific cleaning tasks and areas to be cleaned in a specific room as you tick them off. Feel free to skip recently cleaned items and focus on the parts that seem to have been neglected for a while. This makes cleaning easier, more efficient and saves you a lot of time.
Make it fun
There’s absolutely no reason not to make chores fun. If you’re cleaning by yourself, consider maybe playing some music to elevate your mood. If your family is involved, establish a reward or incentive for the best cleaner or the most hard-working member. They will most definitely be motivated to clean!
