(BPT) – Holiday gatherings can make the season merry and bright, but they can also mean that your home needs a deep clean and tidy. The new year is a great time to bring order and cleanliness to your home and tick off some tasks that you may have neglected over the past year.
Don't know where to start? Take a look at these cleaning tips that will whip up your home and help you start 2023 clean and tidy.
1. Reduce clutter
When you come home from a long day at work, you want your surroundings to be tidy so you can relax. A simple way to stay organized is to make sure everything has its place so you can put things away quickly and maintain a clean and quiet environment. Trash cans, baskets, and other organizational items can help you get into the habit of decluttering so you can catch clutter before it starts.
2. Thoroughly clean floors
Your floors collect dirt, dust and crumbs from everyday use, especially in high-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms. With tools like the Casabella Infuse Mop and Casabella ToughSweep XL Mop , you can quickly and thoroughly clean linoleum, laminate, vinyl, and sealed wood floors to prevent messes.
The spray mop comes with a reusable microfiber cleaning pad that's safe to use on most floors, while the mop's angled bristles can help you get around tricky corners.
3. Clean the dryer vent
How often do you clean your dryer vent? If you have to run the dryer twice to get your clothes completely dry, it's time to uncover it. To start, you need to unplug the dryer and clear the lint from the vent pipe, wall pipe, and dryer opening. Also, you should make sure to remove and clean the vent cover outside of your home.
4. Dust hard-to-reach and hard-to-reach places
Easily accessible areas such as window sills, shelves and frames should be thoroughly dusted once a month. You can go up to three months without dusting hard-to-reach places like high shelves, ceiling fans, and books. For easy dusting, use a tool like Casabella's Microfiber Extendable Duster, which extends up to 35 inches for easy cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
5. Clean every corner of the kitchen
There are cracks and tight spots in your kitchen where dust and dirt can quickly collect, but because they can't be seen, they're out of your mind too. Move the equipment to be cleaned underneath and behind it. For example, the space under and behind the fridge is a magnet for hair, crumbs and dust, so be sure to add this space to your list of things to clean in the New Year.
6. Refresh furniture
Your upholstered furniture attracts and traps dirt, dust and hair. To keep your furniture looking nice and clean, you should regularly vacuum the backrest, armrests, cushions and cushion undersides. It's also a good idea to complete your cleaning with the Evercare Multi-Purpose Lint Roller , which effortlessly removes lint from sofas, clothes, curtains and lampshades, making it the ultimate addition to your household cleaning kit.
7. Clean and degrease the oven
If you haven't cleaned your oven in a while, you should soak it thoroughly after cooking on vacation. Be sure to clean the bottom and sides of the oven and wash the grates well. If you have burnt and stubborn food, you may need to buy a cleaner and do a little work to make it shine.
8. Don't forget the doors and panels
Doors and trim can accumulate a lot of dust and dirt. Be sure to grab a damp cloth and wipe it down, and don't forget the sides, trim, or trim! Using a disinfectant to kill bacteria and germs on doorknobs with frequent, daily contact is also a good idea, especially in the winter months.
9. Vacuum Mat
Carpets accumulate dirt and dust that can quickly soil them while at the same time risking damaging the fibers. Over the holidays, your guests have picked up a lot of slush and dirt from outside, so make sure to vacuum the carpets well. As the New Year approaches, make it a goal to vacuum your carpets at least once a week, especially in high-traffic areas.
10. Check and change your air filters
To ensure you are breathing clean air and that your HVAC equipment is running properly and efficiently, check your air filters every three months and replace them if necessary. According to experts, you can inspect an air filter by holding it up to a light. If the light doesn't go through, the filter is clogged and needs to be changed.
Kick off the new year with a spotless and tidy environment that you'll love coming home to every day. With these tips, you'll rid your home of last year's clutter and prepare to maintain a clean space year-round.
