We often look at the new year as a fresh start to change everything we dislike about our lives and start afresh. Be it buying a new car, losing weight, finding a new job, or even building your dream home, the new year almost always seems like the right time to work on your goals.
Going through such serious life decisions requires a space of relaxation and tranquillity and what place better than the comfort of your home. We believe that everyone should have a new year’s resolution for a cleaner and healthier home. After all the parties and festivities of the holiday season, what your home needs, is a deep cleaning to return it back to its comfortable and cosy old self.
Let us help you start the new year off with a cleaner and healthier home with these few tips:
The Fridge
Unplug your fridge. Be sure to toss out old, holiday leftovers. Spray the inside of the fridge with a solution of vinegar and water to freshen your fridge. Remove shelves and vegetable drawers and wipe them with a microfiber and an all-purpose cleaner and set them to dry. Wash the inside of your fridge.
The Oven
Mix ½ a cup of baking soda with water to form a paste. Spread the paste all over your oven (avoid heating elements). Leave for a couple of minutes. Spray areas that are tough to clean-up with vinegar – it will react with baking soda and will make the grime easier to remove. Or you can simply use a commercial oven cleaner and wipe with a damp rag.
Cabinets
Take out all the items and clean the cabinets with a cloth and a solution of dish soap and water. Avoid food poisoning by throwing away any expired grains, spices and canned food.
Bathrooms
We all know bathrooms require regular cleaning. In addition, your shower and tub might need extra attention after holiday guests leave. Spray your tiles and grout with a tile cleaner, leave it on for about 5-10 minutes, then scrub the build-up with a brush.
Bedrooms
While you air out your mattress, machine wash your bed linen and pillows with detergent.
Carpets
Carpets have potential to hide dust, dust mites, allergens and pet dander. Regular vacuum cleaning with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, (trapping microscopic particles like dust, pet dander and various allergens) will go a long way in preventing you from picking up allergens. Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets to deodorize them.
