5 Common Office Cleaning Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
July 26, 2022
On average, Americans clean their house 6 hours a week. You can utilize this time or even cut it shorter by focusing on the most important tasks.
So, what weekly cleaning chores make your house the cleanest and require the most attention?
Read on for the top 5 areas of your home to add to your cleaning list.
1. Deep Clean the Bathroom
The bathroom is part of almost any regular cleaning regime even though it is the most disliked task, according to 52% of Americans. But, it is also one of the dirtiest rooms of your house that gets cleaned most often.
Deep cleaning the bathroom can keep it cleaner longer. So, be sure to scrub the main areas of the bathtub, sink, and toilet as well as the countertops. Do not forget to wipe smaller items like the toothbrush holder and soap dish for a complete clean.
2. Toss Old Refrigerator Items
One of the best cleaning tips is to keep your fridge clear of old food. It, otherwise, will cause mold to grow and smells to develop.
Throwing out old food will also keep your new food fresh longer. And it will help you see what items need replacing when you go to the grocery store.
In addition, wipe shelves and drawers to remove any stains or spills left over from food.
3. Dust Shelves and Tables
When you clean each week, get out a feather duster to reach high places like shelves and behind furniture that is often not seen. Removing dust will improve your air quality and make your home’s energy flow easier.
Be sure to dust additional areas like the ceiling fan and the tops of your cabinets. These places may require a ladder to reach or an extended duster.
A vacuum can also be used to dust fabrics like curtains and upholstery.
4. Vacuum and Mop Floors
The most common areas to clean are the floors since they encompass the entire square footage of your home. They also get touched most often as people walk on them constantly.
Start with the vacuum to remove any dust or debris. Use the attachments to get under furniture and hard-to-reach corners. Then get out the mop for hard surfaces. Let the floors dry completely before letting anyone walk on them to reduce smudging.
5. Tackle the Laundry
To keep your home clean, you also need to have a closet full of fresh laundry. Nothing is more unappealing than a pile of dirty laundry.
Separate your whites, colors, and delicates to set the washer appropriately. You can have the washer and dryer running while you perform the other tasks above.
Then when the clothes are finished you can put them away in your newly cleaned home.
