It can sometimes be a tough challenge to keep your home spic and span all day long. Even if you clean the place three times a day, it seems it gets dirty again even before the floors have even dried.
There are ways to keep your house looking clean all the time. Consider these tips:
Use doormats. Putting doormats at your front and back doors can help minimize the amount of dirt that trails into your home. You should also place mats outside to help even more.
Groom your pets all the time. For those who have pets, you need to brush your pets daily and give them a bath to keep them clean.
Clean ducts and fans. Air vents and ceiling fans build up dust over time. When these are turned on, the dust will be transferred to your floors and furniture. By regularly cleaning them, the amount of dirt flowing throughout your home will be greatly reduced.
Air filters should be replaced. If the air inside your home feels stale or musty, there's a chance you need to replace your air filter. Do this often to avoid too much debris entering into the air.
Remove your window screens. Unless you have kids, it's better to remove them. Window screens only prevent bugs from entering, they don't really prevent dirt and debris from entering your home.
Keep storage boxes on hand. You need to have storage boxes on hand and keep some broken down in your closet or under the bed for easy access. You can also build shelves at a low price.
Keep your coffee table organized. Make sure you keep only the bare essentials on coffee tables as they get really cluttered quickly. Clean also the table's surface often.
Make sure your floor is showing. Teach your kids how to pick up after themselves to avoid having their toys littering all over the floor. With pets, you may need to have another storage box on hand.
Dust off surfaces. Take time to wipe off surfaces at least once a week to make your house look shinier and this will keep the dirt down.
Provide a space for every item. Create a place for every item you use to keep everything organized.
