House and apartment cleaning can be a nuisance, but it is essential to your health and wellbeing. Did you know that dust exposure reduces a person?s cognitive skills by up to 6%? It can also stimulate allergy symptoms and asthma.
Here are some tips for cleaning three of the most used rooms in your home.
- In the Kitchen
Studies show that your kitchen sink can contain more bacteria than your toilet. It?s disgusting, but it?s true. To keep your kitchen clean, use EPA-registered disinfectant. For a homemade remedy, you can wash your sink with soap and water and then spray it down with a mixture of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. To remove stains, experts suggest wiping the area with a damp sponge and baking soda. If you?re trying to keep your hands clean by taking advantage of house cleaning services, ask them to pay close attention to the kitchen and make sure they are using safe and non-toxic products. This is where you eat, after all. - In the Bathroom
Be careful not to use harsh chemicals in the bathroom, especially on the tub since your skin will come into contact with this feature. Fortunately, there are a number of non-toxic products and solutions you can use. A method most people don?t think of is tossing the shower liner in the washing machine. Don?t put it in the dryer, though. Always air-dry. Instead of pouring harsh chemicals down the shower drain, use boiling water once a week to keep them clear of nasty clogs. - In the Bedroom
You wouldn?t believe the amount of dust that builds up in everything from your pillows, to your bedding, to your window treatments. It is important to frequently wash your bedding, clean your curtains and drapes, and dust all surfaces in your bedroom. If you have carpet in your bedroom, you should be vacuuming regularly to eliminate all the dust, dirt, and bacteria that gets trapped in the fibers.
If you don?t have time for a thorough apartment cleaning, you can always hire same-day maid services to get the job done.
