5 House Cleaning Tips for A Sparkling Summer Home

With the temperatures rising, the summer-hour-glow selfies will soon start trending. Summer is a great season to step out and enjoy evening drinks or barbeque night with your friends, go camping, take your dogs to walk on the scenic routes, catch some free soothing music in urban parks, and the time when you don’t mind waiting in long queues of ice cream parlors. With all the outdoor recreation activities you are set to do, your house is a place that might go overlooked. This is true especially when it comes to cleaning. 

Most people have done a thorough spring cleaning during the Spring season. Thus, more than cleaning, Summers are for maintaining. The better you maintain during the summer months; the less tedious your next deep-cleaning session will be during the fall.

Let’s begin with smart tips to keep your home spotless this Summer.

 

  • Clean Your Flooring

Your flooring is one of the high-traffic areas. With kids and pets running in and out of the house, your floors get an extra load during summers, thereby demanding extra cleaning. It is best to place quality doormats at all the entrances in your home to prevent back-to-back floor cleaning. It is wise to upgrade to a vacuum cleaner for thorough cleaning than using a broom, as it is more effective and less labor-intensive.

 

  • Disinfect Your Pool Toys

With regular pool parties and cool-off swims, your floaties and pool toys get grimy and attract germs. The best way to eliminate the gunk is by cleaning them with soap and a scrubber and disinfecting with a high-quality disinfectant spray an hour before you want to use them. 

  

 

  •  Clean the Bathroom

Any damp surface becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Your bathroom is an area that is 24*7 damp, especially in Summers when the weather is humid. We suggest you keep the exhaust fan running and keep the bathroom door open. Ensure you give your bathroom mirrors and shower curtains a periodical clean-up with a disinfectant and a microfiber cloth. Replace those tattered mirrors and shower curtains with new, sparkly ones.

 

  • Clean the Fridge
Bacteria breeds faster in humid or hot weather; and this is true for your refrigerator too. We suggest you clean out your refrigerator right before the summer and once when the season sets down. Start by discarding the expired products. It makes way for the fresh ones. Rinse the shelves, drawers, and other surfaces with a professional disinfectant cleaner and scrubber to avoid any nasty bacteria like Salmonella, which is common during summers.

 

  • Degrease Your Grill

Summer is synonymous with grilling! Probably, you haven’t gotten your grill out to see the light of the day since last summer. And we understand that. Get your grill and yourself ready to become an undisputable queen or king of your backyard cooking. Start cleaning your grill by removing any loose dirt, then set your burners on high (with the lid closed) for 10-15 min to burn off any tough grease or stains. Then, clean it further using a grill brush. Give it a thorough scrub, and allow it to dry completely before using. Don’t have a grill yet? No worries, get yourself one today!
