Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your living space! As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, our homes can benefit from a thorough summer cleaning. Here at Metropole Cleaning & Facilities Management Ltd, we believe that a clean home is a happy home. Follow these essential summer cleaning tips to keep your home sparkling all season long.
DECLUTTER YOUR SPACE
Start by removing unnecessary items from all rooms. Go through closets, drawers, and storage areas to identify items you no longer need. Donate, recycle, or dispose of anything that’s just taking up space. A clutter-free home feels more open and easier to clean.
CLEAN AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS
Ensure your AC runs efficiently by cleaning or replacing the filters. Dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner and impact indoor air quality. Set a reminder to check and clean the filters every month during the summer.
WASH WINDOWS AND SCREENS
Clean windows inside and out to let in more natural light. Remove and wash screens to keep them free of dust and dirt. Use a mixture of water and vinegar or a commercial window cleaner for streak-free results.
DEEP CLEAN CARPETS AND RUGS
Vacuum carpets and rugs thoroughly to remove dust and allergens. Consider renting a carpet cleaner or hiring professionals for a deep clean to eliminate embedded dirt and stains. This helps maintain a healthy indoor environment.
WIPE DOWN BASEBOARDS AND WALLS
Dust and grime can build up on baseboards and walls over time. Use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent to wipe them down. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and spots near light switches and door frames.
POLISH HARDWOOD FLOORS
Sweep and mop hardwood floors regularly. Apply a suitable polish to keep them looking shiny and new. Be sure to use products recommended for your specific type of flooring to avoid damage.
FRESHEN UP UPHOLSTERY
Vacuum and spot clean upholstered furniture to remove dust and stains. Use fabric fresheners or consider professional cleaning services for a deeper clean. This helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your furniture.
SCRUB PATIO AND DECK
Sweep and wash outdoor spaces, including your patio and deck. Clean patio furniture and cushions to prepare for summer gatherings. Use a pressure washer or a mixture of water and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
Embrace the summer season with a clean and organized home. These essential summer cleaning tips will help you enjoy a fresh, inviting space. Happy cleaning from all of us at Metropole Cleaning & Facilities Management Ltd!
