Is Your Home Really As Clean As It Should Be?

Sure, we could all do a little more to keep our homes clean, safe, and healthy. But we’re not here to talk about how clean your home could be, but rather how clean it should be. Even if you clean fairly regularly if you’re not aware of some of the more hidden issues that can build up, it can make the home dirtier than it appears.

It’s in the air

Cleaning the floors, dusting the surfaces, and washing your soft furnishings are all good and crucial parts of cleaning the home. However, if you’re not aware of what you can do to preserve decent air quality, there are still going to be invisible threats. Changing your HVAC filters and making sure your air conditioner is in good health can make sure that your devices aren’t just gathering and dispersing dust. Furthermore, regular cleaning and maintenance of your AC could be essential for preventing the spread of diseases like legionnaire’s disease, depending on the model.

 

Hygienic is as important as clean

Even if you manage to take care of all the dust and allergens that make their way into the fabrics and air of the home, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the kind of clean that you should rest easy about. There is something to be said for not eliminating germs from the home entirely, but routine hygiene is still crucial. Making use of microbe-eliminating cleaning products, especially natural ones like citrus-based liquids, can make sure that you’re letting germs gather to worrying numbers, especially on the most germ-prone parts of the home, like faucets and showerheads in the bathroom or the kitchen worktops.

 

Keeping on top of it all

Taking care of the entire home by yourself can be exhausting, and not just in terms of a spring clean. However, you don’t necessarily have to do it all by yourself. You can book online cleaning service workers to come and help you take care of the bits and bobs after your major cleans, or do it the other way around, maintaining the professional clean that they leave. Otherwise, it’s easy to let your standards slip because there’s so much to do, you can’t help but fall behind.

 

How much clutter do you have?

Clutter is considered public enemy number one by a lot of online home experts. However, while surrounding yourself with the things that ”spark love” can certainly help you better enjoy your environment, it’s also true that cluttered surfaces attract a lot more dust and debris. If you’re only wiping surfaces and not paying attention to corners and crannies, you will find that the air feels must dustier and the home doesn’t seem quite as clean as it should be.

 

Don’t feel bad if you’re not already following some of the tips above, we all learn to take care of our environments as we go. Just keep them in mind from now on and you can enjoy the peace of mind that your home is hygienic, healthy, and clean.
