Cleaning in the new year
Is your New Year’s resolution a clean home?
Happy New Year!
It’s on occasions like the new year when it becomes clear how much time flies.
But often, this means that the time for cleaning flies away with the fairies.
However, now many of us may find ourselves coming out of a mince-pie-induced haze and realising the house looked cleaner before Santa came crashing down the chimney!
It’s in times like this that a little extra guidance can help.
Our cleaning experts at Merry Maids UK have put together some pointers to revitalise your home this new year.
Wash Your Windows
Windows are a component of your home that probably doesn’t get much TLC. But we’re not passing judgment.
Window washing only needs to be completed once a year at least.
However, we recommend a window cleaning schedule of every six months as this will ensure the glass panes are cleaned.
This will be doing you favours for the rest of the winter months, as it improves the insulation of your windows by ensuring the seals are intact.
Clean Behind Appliances
We’re all guilty of letting crumbs and other food particles fall between or behind appliances and counters.
What’s worse is that these areas barely see the light of day once everything is in place.
So, a new year cleaning routine wouldn’t be complete without cleaning behind appliances and bulky electronics.
This is a big one of those forgotten tasks that have an impact, and by resolving it this year, you can begin to make it a part of your annual cleaning regimen.
Tackle Elevated Areas
When did you last clean the ceiling or the tops of your upper kitchen cabinets?
The beginning of the year is the perfect time to start making those cleaning duties a part of your routine.
Dust and dirt collect in those areas all year and could negatively impact your air quality and make it difficult for your loved ones to breathe easier.
Instead of a conventional duster, use a dry microfiber cloth to attract dust and keep from leaving residue behind.
