You know what they say, that ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’. There is something very peaceful, calming and serene about having a clean home. Of course it takes a tiny bit effort to keep your room spick and span, but if done on a regular basis, cleaning becomes more fun than a chore.
We have curated some easy tips and ideas that will help you keep your home sparkling clean!
Wipe off as you Go
If you’re having a party, it is bound for a few drinks to spill or snacks to scatter on the floor. A smart way to avoid a huge clean up at the end of the night is to clean a mess as it takes place. Now this does not mean you have a cloth in your hand monitoring the whole party without having to enjoy yourself, but a big mess like that of a spilled drink needs to be tended to.
Carpets/Rugs
Whether you entire house is covered with carpets or not, even if you have a few rugs and carpets laid out on the floor in your house, having a vacuum machine to suck up the dust and keep them clean is a must. For your carpets and rugs to be smelling fresh always, you can occasionally allow them to soak in the sun. Keep an eye out for good pieces when you buy home décor accessories online.
Glass Surfaces
Glass surfaces can be tricky if the proper cleaning agent is not used to wipe them clean and maintain the shine. In order to have spotless glass, you can spritz some liquid soda or buy a cleaning liquid agent for glass and wipe it off with a sponge or a muslin cloth. This will ensure that there are no fingerprints left on the glass surface.
Stick to a Routine
To ensure that the house is clean at any given point of time, set a cleaning schedule for yourself wherein you rotate between cleaning up different parts of the house and different equipment at regular intervals. Since most people are free on the weekend, you can set aside some time to clean up your house and do the remaining dirty dishes piling up in your sink.
Dust Daily
As fun as a city life is, the weather in any metropolitan city is also very polluted. It is easy for dust to settle on furniture an in your house if you tend to keep your windows open most of the times. So dust your furniture on an alternate day basis or on a daily basis which is even better. This ensures good physical health and you’ll be saved from your house looking like a quarry.
Wooden Furniture
Is maintained well and cleaned appropriately, furniture made up of a good quality of wood can last for years if not decades to come.
When coming up with living room décor ideas, try to add a wooden element to it for a classy touch. You need to keep wooden furniture out of direct sunlight, wipe it with a dry cloth and rub certain oils on the furniture (depending on the wood), to keep its lustre intact. You can also get it polished by a carpenter from time to time to restore its agelessness.
With these tips and ideas, your home will be clean and inviting. So what are you waiting for? Let this article inspire you to clean up a little bit.
