Doing household chores is never appealing for most. Probably one of the top reasons why this is the case is that cleaning the house can be difficult, tiring, and frustrating. But if you are faced with this task, there is no other way but to go for it. Good thing, there are tips that can help lighten the load.
For the kitchen. If you are using a dishwasher, help it a little by removing extra food from the plate and utensils. This will save you the extra work of having to deal with a broken down dishwasher. When you are doing it manually, it adds appeal if you can use scented dishwashing liquids. Aside from getting you into the mood, they can also give you nice smelling kitchen ware.
For the sink, use an effective disinfectant and clean regularly and after every use. It is helpful if you can wipe out stains and spills immediately after they have occurred. For once they have settled down, your work will be harder.
Mineral deposits in teapots or kettles can be avoided by regular cleaning. Scrub or brush the inner parts of these items after using. You will thank your diligence when after a few years, you still won’t see sediments.
For the bathroom. There are two things that you will be busy with in terms of cleaning the bathroom—water marks and mildew. For the first problem, water marks, you need to brush them from where they are present. It can be helpful to use bathroom cleaning agents. However, take extra caution when you are using them in glass or tiles as they might result in discolorations. It is advisable to try out cleaning a very small area first and wait for the results.
You should also clean your bathroom vanities and cabinets. Water marks are not the only concern you will have with these items but also stains from makeup, hair gels, and other vanity items.
In combating mildew, you need a good bathroom cleaner and disinfectant. Some have great success in using bleach as the product is strong enough to remove these fungi.
For the outdoors. If you have a patio, a garden with stone pathway, etc, you need to pay attention to cleaning these spots. The outdoors needs to be cleaned more often as the elements by which they are exposed to are harsher. Your outdoor furniture should be wiped and cleaned thoroughly. Your stone pathway, garden planters, or water wall fountains need to be freed from fallen leaves, live plants, moss, or even algae.
Miscellaneous. A few more common problems like those in walls, floors, and windows should be addressed. If you have kids at home, drawing marks in the walls or the floors are a big stressor. But, don’t lash out just yet. These marks can be removed with a damp cloth or cloth with common solvents like alcohol and acetone. The windows should be wiped clean from dust. A damp sponge will also do. And as long as you regularly do it, there will be no need for you to use a cleaning product.
