Easy spring cleaning guide
Deep cleaning can help you prepare for a cleaner, healthier home for the spring-summer season and beyond
Typically, the spring season entails packing away the winter clothes and bringing out the summer dresses. With the change of seasons comes the opportunity to host family and friends for a get-together. To help you achieve a stressfree deep clean this spring season, here's a 10-day cleaning tip sheet from Dyson on how to clean room by room.
Day 1: Living room: Make time to clean up high. Because of the difficulty of cleaning, ceilings and appliances mounted high up, such as ceiling fans, chandeliers, or air-conditioning units, are among the dustiest places. Remove any wallmounted items (photo frames, clocks) and vacuum the dust that has accumulated on the walls.
Day 2: Living room: Dust walls with a vacuum that has advanced filtration to ensure that the dust you're removing is trapped in the bin and not expelled back into the home. Don't forget about the curtains and blinds. Carpets are the perfect hiding place for dustmites, where they cling deeply in the fibres.
Day 3: Bedrooms: Over the next two days, work on the bedrooms and textile furniture. Mattresses, sofas, and pet baskets are all included. Vacuum both sides of your mattress to remove dust mites and skin flakes. Don't forget to wash any removable coverings. While your pet is meticulously licking its fur to clean and groom itself, allergens from its saliva are being transferred into your home.
Day 4 & 5: Kitchen: To deep clean counters the and kitchen, cupboards. clear the To remove any build-up, vacuum above and below appliances such as your refrigerator, scrub down your sink, and wipe that, down make and all stovetops. certain kitchen that appliances After all surfaces are dry. If you have a scaly kettle, cover it with white vinegar, bring it to a boil, and leave it overnight. Day 6: House: Take a mini break today. Make sure your vacuum is up to the job for the remainder of your spring cleaning! Maintain your vacuum by washing the filter in warm water and leaving it to dry thoroughly for 24 hours, while charging the battery in the meantime.
Day 7: Bathroom: Not just the toilet bowl and sink, but the entire bathroom, should be cleaned. Mould and mildew can grow in humidity, causing the grouting of your bathroom tiles to turn a nasty orange colour. To restore the grout's original colour, make a paste of baking soda and water and scrub it with an old toothbrush.
Day 8: House: Depending on the size of your home, divide this up by rooms or floors, as vacuuming your entire house at once can be difficult.
Day 9: House: Vacuuming from the top down ensures that any dust that has fallen is captured. Clean all the corners and crevices, as well as under and around furniture.
Day 10: House: Enjoy a cup of coffee while light dusting and vacuuming the floors in preparation for your home parties.
