A professional housekeeping at least once a season helps refresh your carpets, reduce airborne allergens, and improve the overall interior cleanliness of your home. But how do you maintain a level of freshness in between professional cleanings? The commercial and residential cleaning experts at A Affordable Cleaning By Diane’s Service in Anchorage, AK, offer essential interim sanitation tips for your home.

3 Housekeeping Tasks to Do Between Professional Cleanings 

1. Break Up Big Chores

If you leave all of your chores to one big cleaning day, it’s likely you’re going to wear yourself out or dread it when the day comes. Housekeeping experts suggest breaking up larger areas into weekly and daily tasks. For example, each week focus on a different room. If one week you do the kitchen, on Monday, tackle the floors, on Tuesday, scrub the counters, on Wednesday, clean the stove, etc. Then, follow up the next week with the bathroom and so on by rotating each month. This helps maintain a level of cleanliness that makes your house feel fresh all year round.

2. Tidy Up 

One of the easiest things you can do to keep your home looking good in between cleanings is keeping things organized. Using a bunch of baskets, hooks, and bins around your home to easily toss and hang things like coats, keys, children’s toys, purses and other daily items is an easy and convenient solution to keeping everything off the floor. Once you’ve tidied up, a quick once over carpet cleaning with the vacuum and a few spritzes of air freshener adds to that “just cleaned” feel.

3. Dust

Dust on your surfaces is one of the most apparent signs of time between cleaning. Keep up on your housekeeping by having some microfiber towels on hand in every room to quickly wipe down hard surfaces. You can also use an aerosol duster to blast problem allergens away quickly and improve your indoor air quality before your next professional housekeeping service.

Deep cleans are just as essential as the daily cleaning you do in between, which is why it’s important to select a reliable housekeeping service you know will get the job done right.
