Introduction
We all want our homes to look their very best. Sitting down to a freshly cleaned home is a wonderful feeling. However, it is often difficult to know where to even begin as chores accumulate around us over time. Do not fear, there is no need to get overwhelmed. The best thing to do is get organised and break the whole project down to smaller, achievable tasks. Once you have tackled one, the next will come more easily and in no time, you will realise that your home is sparkling from top to bottom. A tidy home is a happy home, and you’ll soon be able to sit back and relax knowing that everything is looking good. Follow our tips below to see how small tasks can make a big difference.
Organise Any Clutter
It can be daunting to set out on your first cleaning task. The best thing to do is clear up floor space and tidy away surfaces. Plenty of disorganisation can build up over time so reach for some storage containers and just start pulling whatever is out of place. Stack these objects neatly into your storage and you will already begin to feel your head clear, as well as your floors. Things that you use regularly can be stored in nice, bright aesthetic containers that seamlessly fit in with your décor. Other items that may not be needed for a long time, can be packed into bulkier containers and stored in your attic or garage. Also, don’t be afraid to get the rubbish bin for anything that you truly know will never be used. Alternatively, drop your storage containers off at the charity shop if items can be used by somebody new.
Wiping Down, Sweeping and Mopping
So now your space is cleared. It’s time to get to cleaning down those newly revealed surfaces. This can be quick, effortless and easy. Get your detergent onto your cloth and wipe out the sink, counters, tables, appliances and anything else you see that might need some tending to. You may need a stronger stain remover for the likes of grease but with the right cleaning materials, these can be gotten rid of in an instant. After wiping everything down, you will need to get your trusty sweeping brush and tidy up any dust or dirt that has arisen. Then get your mop and bucket, and let everything sparkle with some floor cleaner.
Give Your Living Area a Lift
Do a quick pickup of everything in your living room and place them to one side for the moment. Grab a cloth or duster and give the room a quick dust down. You may need leather wipes for your couches or glass cleaning cloths for coffee tables. Then it’s time to vacuum around the room, ensuring you get into those hard to reach places. If you want to go the extra mile, you could use wooden floor cleaner or carpet cleaner depending on what you’ve got in your room. Once all surfaces are gleaming, you can rearrange everything you put aside at the start. If you have throws put them back in place and plump up your cushions. Light a candle to provide a fresh scent and create a cosy atmosphere.
