We know, we know, house cleaning is quite the herculean task. But, in times
where home cleaning has only gained more importance, we thought we could
assist you in turning this arduous activity into one that can be tackled efficiently.
You never know, you actually might start liking it. In this article, we are going to
look at some easy guidelines you can follow to make your home cleaning process
1. Keep things in their place. PLEASE.
We thought it was paramount to start with this one. Try and make sure you keep
things in their designated places or where they belong. Dirty plates could go to
the kitchen sink instead of staying in the bedroom. Used clothes could go in the
washing machine instead of on that lovely sofa chair in the living room. You get
the point. It will save you a lot of time and effort by helping you
compartmentalize the zones in your living spaces and the contents of those
zones.
2. Dust First, Vacuum Second
Given how gravity works, we advise that using a duster or dry cloth to get rid of
dirt in rooms/areas with a lot of items in them. After that, vacuuming becomes a
whole lot easier. This would also aid you in cleaning the contents of your room
first after which cleaning the room itself will be a breeze.
3. Specific Cleaners for Specific Surfaces
It isn't just enough to have two bottles of phenyl for cleaning everything in your
homes. : Kitchen counters require all-purpose surface cleaning products such as
our Viteflo Neem Based All Purpose cleaners while floors could use disinfectants
like the Bacnil range of colored floor cleaners and Bacnil Black Phenyl.
4. Special Attention to Glass surfaces
Glass cleaners for glass surfaces, if you want to take care of your windows, glass
furniture and mirrors. Make sure you choose a good glass cleaner that does not
leave behind any streaks of residue when you use it. Our Bacnil Glass Cleaner is
easy to use. Just spray it and use a damp cloth to wipe it off.
5. The World of Bathroom and Toilet cleaning
Within the world of Home cleaning, comes the separate world of bathroom and
toilet cleaning. Bacnil Toilet cleaner is one of the best phenyls for toilet cleaning.
You flush the toilet first, apply the cleaning liquid, scrub, wash with water and
then flush again. For cleaning bathroom cleaning, Bacnil Black Phenyl works best
as a floor cleaning phenyl as it is a very powerful cleaning agent that is even used
in hospitals and hotels.
6. Go Eco Friendly
Given that environment protection has finally come in the spotlight, using neem
based floor cleaners and herbal disinfectants for floor cleaning will help you keep
your family healthy by eliminating the use of dangerous chemicals.
7. Stock and Structure
After you have decided on what kinds of cleaning chemicals/products are
perfectly suited to your home, you should make sure that there is a dedicated
area to store all these products in the desired amount. It is important to do a
weekly/bi-weekly check on the amount of stock left and if it is has passed its
expiration date.
Once you have the cleaning equipment ready, creating a cleaning schedule would
be most helpful as it provides structure to your day/week and helps you and your
family to form healthy home cleaning habits.
8. Segment and Group Activity
Once there is a schedule in place, home cleaning can be segmented according to
A. Size of the house
B. Kind of cleaning required on the day (Sweeping, vaccuming, mopping,
Scrubbing, Deep Cleaning, etc.)
The tasks can then be divided amongst your family members to provide an
element of togetherness to the cleaning tasks
9. Get the corners and difficult areas first
This step applies to houses of all sizes. It is easier to clean larger surface areas in
one go therefore, to make cleaning faster and easier, it is recommended that you
clean areas under furniture and in the corners. While they are difficult to reach
and clean, it would save you from a lot of trouble in the future. As they say, clean
your way OUT of the room.
10 . Always remember detail cleaning
A. Surfaces and counters
B. Toilets, sinks and tubs
C. Microwaves and other appliances
D. Garbage bins and disposal units
Paying attention to all of the above is imperative to maintaining good hygiene in
the house.
11. Take care of your equipment
An often overlooked part of cleaning the house is maintaining your cleaning tools.
Using a dirty mop or a vacuum with a full bag is much less effective, and you’ll end
up spending more time trying to clean.
While the above steps are bound to help you make home cleaning easier, it is
important to pay attention to the mentality involved in Home Cleaning. If you
really want to cut down your cleaning time, deep cleaning it and following that up
with a once-over every couple of weeks always works wonders. This way, you
make it a habit instead of rushing to clean your house before your guests come
over.
