Last minute cleaning tips for vacation
Follow these tips to prepare your home for Diwali!
As Diwali approaches, the coming days will be full of family gatherings, social events and joyful moments shared with your loved ones. But the celebrations now go beyond the guest list, decorations and food preparation. As awareness of the importance of a cleaner and healthier home grows, greater emphasis is placed on wellness and health during this time of celebration.
Monika Stuczen, microbiology research scientist at Dyson, says: "It's worrying that people only clean when they spot visible dust on the floor, as many dust particles are microscopic." But just because it's out of sight doesn't mean that you should forget it. Our research shows that the best way to combat house dust is to remove and clean it regularly to prevent dust buildup in the home.
As people plan the upcoming celebrations with friends and family, here are some tips from Dyson's microbiologist for stress-free cleaning and maintaining a cleaner, healthier home.
Cleaning Tips Before you start the cleaning process:
Invest in the right tools: There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to cleaning. Different types of surfaces and spaces around the home require different tools to ensure that dust and dirt are collected and completely removed. Sweeping and dusting can keep surfaces looking clean, but they don't remove dust from your home. Instead, the dust is simply stirred up, causing it to fly through the air and then settle somewhere else in the room.
Invest in a vacuum cleaner: Cordless vacuum cleaners are great cleaning devices because their versatile format means you don't have to spend time getting the device out of the closet, plugging it in, moving it, etc. They also have numerous accessories to ensure precise cleaning sensitive edges and tight, hard-to-reach places in your home.
Use Natural Cleaning Products – Many people don't realize that cleaning products designed to keep your home spotless are full of allergenic chemicals like formaldehyde. This Diwali, choose organic and natural products to ensure that there are no serious problems for you or the environment.
Plan a cleaning schedule that works for you
With all the hassle of Diwali cleaning, creating a cleaning schedule is one of the most important things you can do to keep your home clean and organized.
Create a task checklist: Start by breaking down each task individually to create a home cleaning schedule that works effectively for you. Although this may seem like the easiest step, it is actually the most important. It makes you feel good and motivates you to cross each item off the list. Take your time and be thorough.
Prioritize less used areas: Start with areas that don't get much use and then move on to more heavily used areas as these can quickly get dirty again.
Go room by room to avoid becoming overwhelmed. You'll exhaust yourself trying to clean the entire room at once. Not to mention that the work would be subpar and all the hard work would be detrimental to you. It is therefore best to divide your house into rooms and clean them individually. Start planning at least a week in advance to ensure you have enough time.
The cleaning process:
Use masks and gloves: Dust particles are extremely small and light, and the cleaning process can stir up accumulated dust, causing it to rise into the air and release allergens into the eyes, nose, and mouth, causing sneezing and irritation. The best way to clean the house is with a mask. If your skin reacts to allergens, be sure to wear a pair of gloves to protect yourself from these allergens.
Instead of just cleaning, declutter: The first step in tidying up your house for Diwali is to get rid of any clutter that you feel is no longer useful! Leftover, unused, unwanted and unnecessary items are responsible for the dirty and messy appearance of your home. Donate, recycle or throw away anything you haven't used since last Diwali and you'll have half your job done.
Cleaning tip from top to bottom
Always clean your room from top to bottom to catch dust from the air. Start by dusting cobwebs and the ceiling, then move on to walls, shelves, and furniture. Only clean the floor at the end with the different cleaning heads depending on the type of floor.
Clean the attachments first. Although they can be difficult to reach, with the right vacuum attachment you won't leave an inch of dirt behind. Remember to turn off devices when cleaning.
Remove any wall-mounted items (photo frames, clocks) and vacuum any dust that has accumulated on the walls. Use the Dyson combination tool to avoid scratching items. Don't forget to vacuum the gaps in immovable furniture (bookshelves, televisions).
Dust walls with a vacuum cleaner that has an advanced filtration system to ensure that the dust you remove is trapped in the container and does not return into the home. Dust on certain types of walls can also contribute to mold growth.
Don't forget the curtains and blinds. If you can't wash them, vacuum up the dust with the combination tool.
forgotten places
We spend about a third of our lives in our bed. It may look clean, but it can harbor millions of dust mites that can affect your well-being. The dust seems harmless; These include mites, bacteria, small insects and other particles. They are invisible to the naked eye and are scattered throughout the house, including on floors, sofas and beds. For example, when you sit on a couch, particles float in the air, which can trigger an allergic reaction. For your cleaning ritual to be effective, don't forget to clean the most neglected rooms such as mattresses, pet beds, shelves, etc.
Use an air purifier
Indoor air pollution is an often overlooked problem: from burning candles, which can emit VOCs such as formaldehyde, to burning while cooking, which releases gases that affect people's well-being. Just as it is essential for people to remove dust from their homes, it is equally important to remove these particles from the air.
