Coming home from an eight-hour shift just to cook and help your children with their homework before turning in for another long day doesn’t leave time for much else. The last thing you want is to trade in your well-deserved weekend time off for prolonged house chores. In that case, keep the dust off your shelves and the toys off your floor while away with a winter cleaning service.
The maid service in Clearwater by Custom Maids, Inc. has experienced maids who can work during the week, over the weekend, or on short notice for last-minute guests. However, to keep your home or yourself from falling apart under screaming kids and messy pets, follow our winter cleaning tips below.
Vacuum and Shampoo Carpets and Rugs
During the winter months, you place rugs over cold tile or wooden floors for a warm and comfortable atmosphere. You may also have carpeted areas in other parts of your home.
While they may get you through Clearwater’s low temperatures, they also act as a breeding ground for bacteria and a place for pet dander and dust to settle with little visibility. Vacuum at least once a week and shampoo twice a year for a deep cleaning that will pull dirt and grime out of your off-colored carpet.
About four times a year, you should also take your rugs outside to beat or shake off excessive particles lodged between the fabric.
Clean Your Radiators or HVAC Unit
If you have radiators in your home, you understand how important those metal boxes are to your controlled indoor environment. However, you also know that dust settles into the small nooks and crannies.
Cleaning your radiator can be difficult with a duster or a vacuum. Instead, use a moistened cloth and a cleaning solution and wipe down the radiator manually to reap 30% more heating ability.
If you have an HVAC unit, replacing air filters every season is essential since they filter the air and therefore tend to collect a layer of dust. Cleaning the unit’s vents and ducts promises better airflow.
Hiring a maid service in the winter can ensure the proper functioning of your heating system.
Wash Blankets and Other Protective Layers
Winter cleaning also involves washing protective layers you frequently use, including:
- Blankets/throws
- Robes
- Sweaters
- Quilts
- Jackets
Washing these items at least once a week in water up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit can eliminate bacteria while removing stains and other imperfections. Using clean products will improve your time indoors, keeping you healthy during your winter snuggling.
