Keeping A Clean Entrance Area To Your Home

The entryway to your home is one of the most used and abused. It's common to see cluttered closets, heaping coat racks, dingy carpets and messy surfaces all in the small area near your front door. Here are a few cleaning tips for keeping your front door area clean and creating a great first impressions of your home.

Floors
The first step to creating an inviting entrance area is maintaining the floor around your front door. Dusting and vacuuming rugs and shoe trays should be done routinely to control the residual dirt around this area. Rugs can become mildewy if left wet, creating odors.  

Declutter often
Do you really need 7 coats on that coat rack? Can you move the hangers in the closet? How many pairs of shoes are stuffed into that cubby?
Asking yourself these questions can help get to the root of the clutter problem,  creating space for guests to put their things when they arrive.

Have a spot for everything
Having a specific spot for your items like keys, jackets and shoes can really help relieve some of the chaos of the front door area. It takes out the need to search for items at the last moment if there a spot for all of those items.

Keeping Your Entertainment Center Clean

Ever notice how grimey your remote control looks? How about the thick layer of dust on all of your speakers? Here are some tips to keeping a clean entertainment center.

Dust surfaces
Your entertainment console surfaces need to be dusted frequently. Your DVDs and Blu Ray collections can become dusty because they are not moved that often. Same goes for surfaces above televisions and on cabinets.

Televisions
A 4K screen looks much clearer when not under grime, fingerprints and dust. Routinely clean screens to avoid annoying smudges and dust. Make sure you use electronic safe cleaning solutions and cloths.

Remote Controls
Remotes are breeding grounds for bacteria. Dirt and residue can get caught between buttons and quickly become funky. Disinfect and clean remotes to keep them safe for your family to touch.

Speakers
Speakers are one of the hardest things to clean in an entertainment center. They need routine dusting to avoid the delicate mesh or grate being clogged with dust. They may need to be vacuumed and detailed. 

Coffee Table
Coffee tables are one of the most abused surfaces in your home. Food, drinks, magazines and sometimes feet all end up on the same table. Wipe down coffee tables for a hygienic area to put your popcorn on movie night.

Most Forgotten Places To Clean

Everyone likes to think that their home is clean. But are all of these places kept clean in your home?

Refridgerator
The refrigerator holds and cools the food we eat on a daily basis. You'd think that it would be one of the most routinely cleaned areas, but it is often forgotten leaving bacteria and germs to grow all around food that we consume. Crumbs, spills and residue should be cleaned often as well as the perpetually touched handle.

Exercise Equipment
Think about all that happens on your exercise equipment. Sweat, grime... dust? Either way, exercise equipment is often overlooked creating a breeding ground for bacteria and smelly surfaces.

Litter Boxes and Pet enclosures
It is recommended to scrub litter boxes every 10 days with pet safe cleaning solutions to keep away litter box odors. Litter boxes and pet enclosures should also be disinfected to keep your animals as well as yourself safe from diseases.

Shower doors and Curtains
Shower doors and curtains are often left damp and can easily become mouldy. Cleaning them regularly can avoid the growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms.

Pre-Vacation Cleaning

Ever come home from a vacation completely exhausted? All the stress from the airport and flying can really take the wind out of a person. With some pre-vacation cleaning you can make sure you come home to a clean and relaxing environment. 

Here's a to do list when it comes to pre-vacation cleaning. 

- Throw out or use food that will go bad while you're on vacation. That means eating all fruits that my be left out or throwing out leftovers from last week. 

- Be sure to wash all the dirty dishes. Dirty dishes can attract insects and bacteria. When you get back from a long trip the last thing you want to do is clean a sink full of dishes. 

- Clean the bathrooms! A week or two of letting bacteria breed in your dirty toilet is not going to make an inviting environment. 

- Do the laundry. No one wants to wear dirty clothes on vacation, or do laundry when you come back from vacation. 

- Make sure to empty and clean all garbage containers before you leave. Garbage can rott with time, breeding insects and creating foul odors. Removing garbage from you home before a vacation will make sure you don't have to do extra cleaning when you come home.

Getting Rid of Pet Odors

Nothing can ruin a living environment like pungent pet odors. Here are some tips to keep pet odors at bay and your home smelling fresh.

Vacuum heavily used areas!
One of the most under used cleaning tools is your vacuum. Routinely vacuuming carpets and areas that pets heavily use is the first step to keeping a fresh smelling home. Pet dander can settle into carpets, beds, around litter boxes and feeding areas. 

Carpet Cleaning 
For extra funky carpets, a carpet cleaning might be your only option. Pet odor neutralizers and steam cleaners can be used to get pesky pet odors out of carpets.

Litter Boxes
It is recommended to scrub litter boxes every 10 days with pet safe cleaning solutions to keep away litter box odors. Litter boxes should also be disinfected to keep your animals as well as yourself safe from diseases.

Pet Beds
Pet beds can become a major cause of pet odors in your home. If left unclean bacteria multiplies and results in a smelly unsafe area for your pets.

Outdoor Areas

The summer is nearly here, and that means outdoor get-togethers and barbeques! Make sure your outdoor area is clean and inviting for your guests.

Here are some areas you should take into consideration when getting ready for your outdoor party:

Patio Furniture
After being left outside all year your once pristine and inviting patio furniture probably looks grimy and has an uninviting odor. Cushions need to be taken down and washed to get rid of any mold that may have grown on it. The bases will probably need to be hand washed with brushes to get rid of any dirt and keep them from rusting.

Barbeque
Your barbecue utensils and grill are probably not in the best of shape since last year. Caked on grime and oils must be scraped off and properly cleaned to keep your barbeque safe for cooking on.

Patio Floor
To get ready for your summer get togethers a clean patio floor is a must. All debris from plants or trees should be swept off the patio for a clear area.

Spring Cleaning 2018

It's time to open the windows, let some light in, and get rid of the dust and grime from your living area. Spring Cleaning helps remove that stuffy feeling from your home and replace it with a fresher one.

Areas to keep in mind when spring cleaning include light fixtures, curtains or window coverings, collectible display areas and underneath furniture. All of these areas are rarely cleaned resulting in heavily dusty surfaces.

Light fixtures, especially chandeliers will need to be taken down and gently hand washed. Depending on the window covering, you may need to remove them and wash them, or, dust them in a well ventilated area. Collectible display areas involve dusting all of the pieces and removing them from the surface that needs to be cleaned. Vacuuming or cleaning under furniture gets rid of dust bunnies that contribute to the stuffy feeling of your home.

Dust your work area. Dust can really alter a work environment. It makes allergy sufferers uncomfortable as wall as clogs computer vents and other machines. Be sure to dust your work area routinely to avoid dust build up.

Disinfect surfaces and computer accessories. Work areas are notorious for spreading germs. It's easy to forget how much you touch your desk, mouse or keyboard on a daily basis. These areas can become breeding grounds for bacteria, especially in work areas that you also eat food.

Keep monitors clean. Monitors seem to attract dust, fingerprints and mystery spots. Nothing is as annoying as a dingy monitor. For an inviting and enjoyable work area be sure to keep your monitors clean.
