7 Tips To Keep You Home Clean This Summer Posted: 23 Sep 2021 08:58 PM PDT When we think about home cleaning, spring is the season that most often comes to mind. Spring is the time when we do our annual grand cleaning, but also a season that comes after two messiest ones – fall and winter. However, while dry and usually rain-free, summer can also pose a challenge in terms of home cleaning. The kids are back from school and around the house more often, which itself is already a demanding cleaning and maintenance task. We spoke to the cleaning experts at Castle Keepers – Altanta who were kind enough to share a few summer cleaning tips. Clean Your Gutters Even though it's usually sunny and dry, the summer can surprise us with a few brief but strong storms. To make sure your home is ready for them, make sure to clean out your drains and pick out the weeds around them to make sure the water from the roof can safely find its way to the ground. Clean The Patio And Driveway You are guaranteed to spend a lot of time on the patio during the summer, so now is the right time to clean it. Winter and spring can leave a lot of debris out around your home, especially on surfaces like wooden patios and paved driveways. Depending on the surface, cleaning the debris could be as easy as washing it out with a high-pressure stream of water. However, don't do this without consulting the manufacturer specifications first. Get The Backyard Ready For Guests Judging by the course of the Coronavirus pandemic, lots of us will be spending more time outside than in when it comes to socializing. This is why it's a good idea to spruce up your backyard or patio. Make sure to clean all your patio furniture and wash the cushions. You'll probably need to disinfect them more frequently, just to make sure no traces of the virus are left after your garden parties. Declutter The Interior With the kids back from school, you can expect things to get a bit messy during the summer. If you're finding you have less storage space than you used to, this is the ideal time to do some decluttering and get rid of old clothes, toys, books and items you or your children no longer use. Keep The Dirt (And Germs) At The Door The more you move back and forth between your home and the outside, the more dirt you bring in. This is especially dangerous now with the Delta variant raging. To make sure you avoid a messy and contagious home, place a rug soaked in a disinfectant solution at the front door and ask your guests (and family members) to take their shoes off when coming in. Clean Your Mattress Thoroughly You should make a point of cleaning your mattress at least twice a year, in the winter and the summer. Remove the bedding and vacuum the top and bottom of the mattress thoroughly. Wash the beddings in hot water and wash your linens regularly. This will help rid your mattress of dust mites, stopping summer allergies at the get go and giving you a better sleep. Dust Frequently Everyone loves how the summer sun lights up our interior. But a lot of natural light also tends to highlight details like dust on the shelves you've been neglecting for a while. Not only is dust unsightly, it can also trigger an allergic reaction, especially during the summer. Therefore, make sure to dust your home more frequently this summer.

Why Getting a Professional Cleaner Is Sometimes the Best Option Posted: 23 Sep 2021 09:54 AM PDT Many people in the US take pride in keeping their homes clean. There is an old adage that the home represents the homeowner. This is a great attitude to have, after all, keeping your home clean and tidy is important. However, cleaning your home all by yourself may not always be the best idea. Be it because you simply don't have the time, energy or the equipment and know-how, professional cleaning services such as Maid in Morristown may be a better option. Here is a list of situations when hiring a professional just makes more sense. You Need Deep Cleaning Every Once in a While While cleaning your home regularly, chances are that you miss a few places. Whether it is because you can't reach those places, you forgot, or something else entirely, these places can get pretty dirty if you keep skipping them in your cleaning for so long. That means not only that the dust and other particles will accumulate there, they might just be ideal for bacteria, mold and other pathogens to grow. This is why having deep cleaning is a good idea. This specialized type of cleaning is great to perform once or twice a year. Most people leave this for their yearly spring cleaning. However, if you really want to experience proper deep cleaning, you should probably consult a professional maid service. Professional cleaners with their industrial-grade equipment and knowledge will ensure that all of those forgotten parts are found and sparkling clean. Post-Holiday Season Cleaning We all love the holidays, especially when we can spend them with our family and friends. Even though having large parties with many people may seem unfeasible nowadays, it may be reality by the time the holiday season rolls by. There is a downside to having guests come over for holidays, though. And that's cleaning. After the guests have left, you're faced with a house turned on its head, essentially. Pretty much everything in your home will require cleaning now. If you feel a bit overwhelmed with all that, and more likely, just tired after the holidays, there is a solution – hire people to clean your home. Professional cleaners will not only clean your home quickly and efficiently, they will also do it without complaining how much work it is – that's their profession. Covid-19 Disinfection Cleaning Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, it seems like it has dominated all of our lives, and all of our conversations. There's just no avoiding it, and that's true for the conversation about home cleaning. If you are concerned about the cleanliness of your house, perhaps you should consider a thorough disinfecting cleaning that many companies are now offering. With their equipment and special cleaning agents, professional cleaners should be able to get your home disinfected and clean enough so you can relax and wait out the storm. Move-in and Move-out Cleaning Moving into a new house can be an exciting time, but also a time full of obligations and tasks that can't wait. For instance, the house you're moving into needs to be cleaned thoroughly. If you don't have the time, consider a professional cleaner – they're quick, detailed and efficient, just the thing you need not to derail your move. On the other hand, there's the home you're leaving. If you're moving out from a rental property, you will likely have to clean the property in order to get your security deposit back. Unless you've been super tidy during your tenure there, chances are that there are some stains you simply don't know how to remove. Getting a professional move out cleaning might be enough to sway the odds in your favor. Getting help with your cleaning is nothing to scoff at, especially if you're strapped for time, or simply not good at it. Thankfully, there are plenty of cleaning companies of all kinds – you can find the one that best suits you.
