When should you do a deep cleaning?

However, you should deep clean your home more than once a year. Seasonal cleaning, or after every three months, is one option. Another approach is to break down your thorough cleaning list into shorter weekly or monthly jobs, completing one area or 1 to 2 tasks per week on a regular basis; it depends on the number of persons living in a home. If, more persons live in a house, the more regularly it should be cleaned thoroughly.

General things to do when starting deep Cleaning

  • Arrange a caddy: Deep cleaning your home does not necessitate the use of expensive specialty products. A scrubbing brush, baking soda, vacuum, rubber gloves, mop, sponge, spray bottle, broom, white vinegar, dish soap, and microfiber cloths are all excellent and inexpensive cleaning tools.
  • Declutter: Any noticeable stuff which does not relate to the space should be relocated (or, better yet, removed). To make your deep cleaning checklist easier, save the items inside the storeroom for another day. Removing clutter promotes deep cleaning easier, and seeing those clean surfaces might motivate you to keep cleaning.
  • Make an all-purpose cleaner: All-purpose cleaner is one thing that you need throughout your cleaning tasks. Instead of buying an expensive cleaner, you can make one at home by using white vinegar. In a spray bottle, combine 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup water and shake thoroughly. Your all-purpose cleaner is ready to use. Try to write the name of the solution on your spray bottle to avoid any risk.
  • Windows cleaning: Clean the edges and rails first. Then, spray the entire window glass with an all-purpose cleaner. Allow a minute for the cleaner to work before wiping it off. It will be simpler to see and fix streaks if you wipe them in one way on the inside glass and the other on the outside windows.
