Easy Ways to Makeover Your House

The success to any type of home cleaning lies in preparation and the systematic approach that you take to getting your house in Uxbridge clean. If your home has been in a bad state for a long time, turn it around and use our hints and tips to ensure that your house gets a new look, because after all, a clean home means a happy home.

•    Start off by de-cluttering your rooms, one by one. Get rid of any unwanted items, or if you’re a hoarder, make some storage space in your home in Uxbridge, UB8 and arrange your items in an efficient and easy to access manner. Only keep essential items, or pile them away to make the cleaning process easier. Storage containers are a good investment to make and are tough and durable for a long lasting storage option.

•    Quickly sweep all your floor surfaces, getting rid of any loose dirt and dust. Sweep this up using a dustpan and brush, then vacuum once the rest of your cleaning jobs have been completed.

•    Tackle the areas that attract the most dirt first, such as kitchen units and bathroom areas. Disinfect surfaces using bleaches and spray, but be prepared to get down and scrub in order to get a deep clean.

•    Rather than leaving everything for one massive cleanup job, take care of your house cleaning by doing a little bit every day. This will ensure that you don’t get overwhelmed and will mean that it’s less likely that you keep putting it off for another day. Begin by doing simple tasks, such as cleaning up stains as and when you notice them, sweep up dirt when you see some etc.

•    Multitask; research suggests that doing two things at once will make the time pass quicker, which is especially useful if you’re carrying out a mundane task such as cleaning. Now don’t attempt anything drastic; simply talk to your friend on loudspeaker whilst doing some dusting, or do the ironing whilst watching television, this way you’ll get those mucky jobs done in no time and free up your time for something else.

•    Make a checklist, ticking things off as you go. As you progress down the list, you will find the workload gradually reducing, until you eventually complete all the tasks and are left with a clean and tidy house in Uxbridge.

•    Invest in the right products; these don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, as just simple cleaners and equipment will do the trick. Don’t be afraid to pick up a range of items because cleaning products rarely have a use by date so can always be stored for use at a later date.

•    Don’t forget to take care of the little details, because if you look after the little things in your home, the big picture will look after itself. Look for any stains when carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning and tackle these immediately. Spray and stain removers aren’t really needed; simply dab at the stain using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and washing up liquid. Be careful not to rub, because this could cause irreversible damage to your fabrics.

•    Make use of the different attachments that come with your hoover. Small attachments are perfect for cleaning sofas, curtains and in all those hard to reach places. Alternatively, shake out your cushions and carpets, so crumbs and dirt fall on the floor, then simply vacuum all your floor surfaces in a single easy, quick process.
