How to Deep Clean Your House?
Different Levels of Cleaning
Has it ever occurred to you that after the weekly cleaning of your house, maybe things still aren’t as clean as you would want? If you are like most people, cleaning your home is not one of your favorite responsibilities. That being the case, it might be that your heart is not really into applying the old “elbow grease” to get things really clean.
Regardless of how you normally approach house cleaning on a regular basis, you should always find time for deep and thorough cleaning or what some people might call extreme cleaning. To be clear, there is a material difference between what most people would consider housekeeping and the deep cleaning process.
Let’s assume that the day comes when you want to really tackle your house cleaning responsibilities. If and when you are ready to do some extreme cleaning, you might start wondering exactly what that includes. Well, below, you will find a guide to deep residential cleaning that could be very useful.
What Qualifies as Deep Cleaning?
After finishing the cleaning process, you might feel that all of the dusting, polishing, wiping, vacuuming, and scrubbing you have done constitutes deep house cleaning. The reality is quite different. In the minds of professionals who provide deep cleaning services, such services are most likely very different from what you are accomplishing. Here is what your deep cleaning should include.
1. Declutter
A big part of true cleanliness is everything having a place and everything being in its place. If you have a lot of clutter lying around the home, you can’t get to those hard-to-get places to clean. For a deeper cleaning process, you need to start by putting things away and clearing floors and countertops for the cleaning process.
2. Think High and Low
When you clean your house, do you have a tendency to focus only on what you can see and easily reach? If that’s you, you are like most other people when they clean the house.
A thorough cleaning actually requires that you clean every nook and cranny of your home. That includes everything from the floor to the ceiling and everything in between (walls and pictures). By the way, you might need special cleaning supplies and tools to clean higher levels.
3. Clean the Windows
Yes, your windows, inside and out, are part of the home. They are subject to the accumulation of dirt, dust, and grim just like every other part of the house. You can be assured that a house won’t look clean until the windows are sparkling and the window sills/rails are free of dirt.
Oh, and don’t forget your window coverings. Curtains need to be dry-cleaned and shutters/blinds need to be scrubbed.
4. Clean and Polish All Furniture
Hopefully, you understand that the bottom of your furniture accumulates just as much dust and dirt as the tops. When doing a thorough cleaning, the furniture is not clean until every piece is clean from top to bottom, including underneath.
5. Thorough Cleaning of All Floor Surfaces
It matters not if your flooring is carpet, tile, or wood, it all gets dirty because of constant traffic. Deeply cleaning your flooring includes more than running your broom/mop or vacuum through the middle of every room. Your floor also includes corners and baseboards. It’s vital that you thoroughly clean everything below ankle level if you want to say you have clean floors.
By the way, the corners of your floors in both the bathrooms and kitchen are prime targets for mold and mildew. In case you aren’t aware of it, mold in the home is a health hazard to you and your family. More on mold removal below.
6. Mold Removal
As we mentioned above, mold spores are a health hazard to you, your family members/household residents, and even your pets. Any deep clean process has to include the removal of mold and any other health hazards around the home.
Since mold can be hazardous to your health, cleaning mold could also be dangerous. With that in mind, you might want to wear rubber gloves and a safety mask when you tackle this particular task. It’s going to require a thorough scrubbing of infected surfaces with products that will actually kill mold and even mildew. Here are the products you can include on your shopping list: chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, white distilled vinegar, and or the combination of baking soda and borax.
The Right Extreme Cleaning Process
For a deep clean of your home, it’s going to require a disciplined approach. As a residential cleaning professional I would recommend that you devise a plan. As part of your, you should use a scheme that takes you room to room, one at a time.
Each room should get an extreme clean process. As you finish one room, you should seal it off as you move to the next room. You should use this process starting with the room or rooms at the back of the house and work towards the front door or indoor garage door. With this approach, you lower the risk of raising dirt and dust that will contaminate the rooms you just got done finishing.
Hiring Professional House Cleaning Services
If this sounds like a lot more work than you want to tackle on your own, that’s fine, you are not alone. It takes special motivation to give your entire home a deep and thorough cleaning.
That’s why professionals hire the best home cleaners in the business. They stand ready for calls from people just like you. When you call, they will send a highly trained team of deep home cleaners to give your home the spectacular treatment that it deserves. In this way you can be certain that your home will be properly taken care of.
