Tips For Deep Cleaning Your Home
2

• No matter how much you try to keep your home
  clean and tidy, there will be times when youre
  too tired, too busy or simply too under motivated
  to keep on top of things, and things can quickly
  escalate until your home is looking cluttered and
  dirty. So, if your home has gotten into a bad
  state and you need to give it a deeper clean,
  here are a few simple tips
• Do a spot of decluttering
• It can be surprisingly rewarding to declutter
  your home every now and then, and once youve
  done it, youll find cleaning takes much less
  time and effort. That said, try to get rid of
  items you no longer want or need, rather than
  simply shifting them elsewhere to gather dust!

• Start at the top and work your way down
• Try to work in this order when giving your home
  the deep clean treatment
• Ceiling
• Ceiling trim
• Ceiling light fixtures
• Walls
• Wall trims
• Baseboards

• This should ensure that any dust and grime that
  gets shifted from the top of your home, can be
  cleaned up easily as you work your way down.
  Microfiber cloths are great for getting the dust
  to stick rather than shift around, and for those
  areas where a vacuum cleaner wont reach. If you
  need to use a damp cloth and some cleaning
  solution, try not to use too much water and be
  sure to dry each area off as you clean it to
  avoid smears and residue.
• Dont leave out your windows
• Windows can be a pain to clean, but the effort
  you put in is always worth it, particularly as
  windows are often a predominant feature in a room.

• Vinegar and old newspaper is a traditional tried
  and tested method that gives outstanding results,
  but may require a little elbow grease for those
  tougher to clean windows. If you dont have the
  time, energy or inclination to clean your windows
  yourself, why not call in the professionals and
  have them get your windows sparkling for you.
• While its important to clean the glass on your
  windows, its equally important not to neglect
  the drapes or blinds, and these can often be kept
  clean with the attachment on a vacuum cleaner. If
  your drapes are very dirty however, you may need
  to get them professionally cleaned if they wont
  fit into your washing machine.

• Get dusting
• Once youve dusted all the items in your home,
  move onto the hard surfaces such as wooden
  furniture and shelving units. For wood, try using
  a beeswax based cleaner, for other surfaces, your
  favourite regular cleaning solution should do the
  trick. For lampshades with a build-up of dust on
  them, a lint roller works wonders.

• Rejuvenate your floors
• It may be a frightful and tiresome bore, but to
  get your floors thoroughly clean, you simply must
  move furniture and other large items so that you
  can reach underneath them. A good vacuum cleaner
  will have extendable attachments for getting to
  some harder to reach areas and is a great tool
  for eliminating dust and other dirt. Once youve
  gotten rid of dust and dander etc, you can then
  either mop your floors or clean your carpets with
  a shampoo.
• As with any of these deep cleaning tips, the
  easiest way to put them into practice, is to have
  someone else do them for you! A reliable cleaning
  service will make short work of cleaningyour home
  from top to bottom, saving you the time and
  effort.
