Are you struggling to keep your home clean consistently? You may have
a lot on your plate, so it’s hard to find the time to tidy up the
house. One way is to set a schedule. Pick a day or two throughout the
week to clean various parts of your home – perhaps one day for one
floor and the other day for the other. For the time being, you can
exclude the basement and garage or dedicate another day to them. When
it comes to house cleaning, avoid these practices:
Ignoring Plumbing Problems
It can be hard to find time to keep your home looking clean.
Plumbing problems such as leaking pipes can lead to
water damage. Too much moisture can damage everything in your home – from the floors
to furniture to ceilings. If you ignore excessive moisture, it becomes
much more difficult and expensive to clean or reverse the damage. Plus,
you will have to deal with mold and mildew, which can be dangerous to some
individuals.
Not Getting Air Ducts Cleaned
Getting your air ducts cleaned is a worthwhile
investment. Too much dust, dirt, and dander caught in the HVAC system can reduce
its effectiveness. Professional house cleaning is necessary every few to
several years. Meanwhile, frequently changing the furnace filter is an
inexpensive help. Everyone in your home will breathe easier.
Attempting to Use the Wrong Cleaning Solutions
It’s important to find the right cleaning products. Some family members
may be sensitive to even the smell of a solution. Of course, use caution
by not mixing products. Some combinations can produce harmful fumes that
will sicken anyone nearby.
Leaving Chores Unfinished
It’s understandable that you may want to take a break from cleaning and
other associated chores. Sometimes, however, when taking that break, you
may find some of your previous work will be undone. You should consult
with a professional house cleaning service to take care of your home for
you. They’ll make your life much easier, and you’ll be able to spend more
time with friends and family this holiday season!
Leaving Hidden Systems Dirty
Finally, consider some of the more “hidden” systems in your home that are
generally kept out of sight. The stove hood in the kitchen needs to be
scrubbed and exhaust fans in bathrooms should be cleaned. Your dryer vent
should be thoroughly, professionally cleaned, even if you are already
removing all lint after each use. Did you know that dryer lint is
combustible? According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 2900 fires are
reported each year that are caused by clothes dryers. One-third of them
are from failure to clean lint from the machine.
