House Cleaning Tips
House cleaning can get tiresome. We can spend all day it cleaning, and then just start all over again tomorrow.
Well, I don’t know what I can do to make you like house cleaning, (but you can consider taking on a good South Dublin based home cleaning service? I can recommend a good one!) but I can give you some tips to help make your housework not only easier, but also teach you ways to make your hard work a little more efficient.
This should help free up some of your time to do some of the more pleasant things in life – and have more Time For You.
If your To Do list is just too long, you can always give Time For You (Home Cleaning) a call. We will gladly come in and take some of the hassle off your hands.
Home Cleaning Tips and Hints from the Professional House Cleaners
Make a house cleaning checklist; schedule when you will clean and then stick to it. The mess will only get worse the longer you put it off.
There is no rule that says your entire home needs to be cleaned each time. If you can’t bear to do it all at once, set your schedule and for example clean the living room on Wednesday, bathrooms on Tuesdays.
and deep clean the kitchen every Friday. You can also only do one floor at a time.
As part of your preparation of the schedule, try to identify the trouble spots in your house and purchase the most appropriate cleaning products you need to clean then up. Just using hot water and elbow grease will not do a very good cleaning job so get help, there is a wide variety of products from Big Name brands, own brands and and ever growing range of Eco cleaning solutions.
Dont take on all the cleaning work on your own – I sure there are others that contribute to the mess so enlist their help. If you have children give them some responsibility and allocate a task and then change that from week to week, if you children are older assign one to the kitchen and then the other to the bathroom or laundry or washing the floors & rotate the tasks. Don’t forget to take on the irregular jobs like cleaning under the sinks and cupboards or doing a really good job dusting all the surfaces such as picture frames, skirting boards and walls. Children often like to dust I think its got to do with the opportunity to spray the house liberally with a scented spray!
Have all your cleaning supplies togather and place them in a bucket this saves time going from room to room with special cleaners or tools. Professional cleaners like carry all the cleaning supplies in one bucket.
Recomended Cleaning Supplies
Your cleaning supplies bucket should contain the following;
Glass cleaner
Disinfectant
Detergent/Degreaser
Soap scum remover
Furniture polish
Hand scrubbers
Sponges & a variety of cloths, use different colours for kitchen & bathroom!!
Toothbrush for scrubbing small spots
Use the right cleaning product for the surface to clean, if you are unsure read the instructions! If you look at the cleaning contents of the list above we don’t carry a lot of fancy cleaning products. We use the right product for the job, and most every surface in the home can be cleaned with just those items.
Get good quality cleaning products that are effective to do the cleaning job well. This also does not mean that you have to spend a lot of money either, some of the best cleaning products are very inexpensive. Often we use a solution of vinegar and water to damp mop lino, wood and vinyl floors. It works really well and is most likely the lest expensive product for cleaning available (Other than plain water of course!).
Declutter!!
You really should get clutter free. This is a hard one. We all like stuff too, your rooms will feel kind of bare at first, but trust me, you’ll get used to it, (you’ll actually come to prefer it) and it makes cleaning up an absolute breeze!!
We have all seen houses that are cluttered, and nothing you do will make it really look clean. There were too many piles of stuff. So recycle the old magazines, and remove as much clutter as possible.
