We are doing amazing in the maintenance we do concerning our living rooms. Occasionally though, we need to do more than just maintenance. Sometimes, we need to give that area a nice thorough clean-up. We need to spend an entire day off giving that space a real deep clean. So what do we actually do? What are the steps to doing just that?
Start with a 15-minute clean-up
This gives you a clear look of what to actually clean later. Don’t worry much about not cleaning up the floors yet. Let’s get to that later. Call this an initial clean-up.
Dust down the ceiling and wall corners
This determines if you need to wash the walls from dirty spots. Other than it being the right time to spot wash switch plates, doors, doorknobs and air vents, it’s also the best time to look for any sign of pest infestation, especially termites. If a particular spot has gotten you worried, you can call for termite inspection Sunshine Coast pest control companies provide if you happen to live in the area. Most places have reputable pest control companies residents rely on.
All art and photographs that are on the walls need to be dusted
Be careful when handling the delicate frames and never spray water or cleaner on them. Liquid can seep in and damage the photos when it gets behind the glass. Just use a wet clean cloth to wipe them.
Clean and dust the ceiling fans
Dust the blades so when you turn it on next time, dust won’t fall down unto your guests’ heads. Also, take down some light fixtures and wash them gently and dry them.
According to the manufacturer’s instructions, clean or wash the blinds, curtains and draperies after taking them down
While they’re in the wash, you may proceed to clean the windowsills and its corners. The insides and the outsides should also be cleaned.
Chairs and couches need to be cleaned out and dusted
Use the Powerglide tile floor polisher machine when you vacuum the floors. Check to make sure you don’t find any missing items under the couches and seats and in the event that you do, pick them up and store them safely or throw them away depending on whether they are still useful or not.
Knickknacks and accent lamps ought to be dusted down and cleaned too
A duster should suffice. However, if you have it, then use a vacuum attachment for them and don’t leave out the decorative items.
Dust the books from the bookshelves
If the shelves are overflowing, then take this opportunity to sift through your collection. If there are still some books that you want to keep and maybe re-read, set them aside. For the ones that you no longer need, donate them or throw them away.
Don’t leave out the electronics
Check the cords if they are fraying and dust down your television screen. All of them have to be un-plugged before anything else.
Clean your carpets and your rugs
If they’re soiled, then call a professional for them. If not then you can just vacuum them and maybe do some spot treating.
All the doormats have to be cleaned
Wipe them down and dust them off if needed. Clean as much as necessary and double check to ensure that the mats are still in good condition for carpet protecting
It’s a lot to do, hence why you need to dedicate an entire day for this. It might be fun to drag a friend or a family member into this too, just as long as general cleaning is done on a monthly basis or so.
