There are specific areas of every home that need more attention than others when prepping for warmer weather. Paola Castro and Diana Osorio of family-owned C. Cleaning Co. shared with us their best practices to ensure a seamless seasonal transition, whether you enlist a cleaning company or tackle the task yourself.
1. Dusting: light fixtures, ceiling fans, and the exterior of heating & cooling vents need extra attention. 2. Carpets & Rugs: a deep clean will help refresh your indoor environment, especially after the harsh Winter season! 3. Decluttering & Organizing: tackle your cabinets, closets, and pantries. 4. Garage: don’t overlook this area of your home. Remove clutter, sweep the floors, and organize tools, equipment, and storage for a more functional space.
Pro Tip: One of the best DIY cleaning solutions is made by mixing your favorite dishwashing liquid, approximately 1-2 tablespoons, with 2 cups of lukewarm water. Be careful not to use too much dishwashing liquid and NEVER mix chemicals. While vinegar is effective, it can also damage most delicate and porous surfaces.
C. Cleaning Co. recommends deep cleanings 3-4 times per year for the home interior and 2-3 times per year for the exterior. If you have a request for your cleaning company, always share it with them! It helps them to meet your expectations and ensures that they’ll bring the proper supplies for the day of. Lastly, don’t forget to change your air filters for better quality air and ventilation. www.ccleaningcompany.com
