Keeping your home clean also means keeping it healthy for you and the rest of your family. It is a proactive process. It’s not something you should do as an afterthought because when you begin with that approach, you’re going to wait until things really appear dirty, which means it is well past the point where they actually became dirty.
Here are three steps you can take to not only improve the cleanliness of your home in the Greater Toronto Area, but also how healthy it is.
Step #1: Recirculate the air frequently.
This is difficult during the winter months, mostly because of the cold air we experience, but you can circulate the air using ceiling fans. Reverse the flow of the ceiling fans and turn them on low. This will draw air up and push it out, and that will also spread out the warm air in your heating system generates more evenly.
Recirculating the air will help to avoid stagnant air.
Step #2: Vacuum carpeting and sweep floors consistently.
You should vacuum at least once a week, preferably more often if you have more people in the house. You should also sweep and mop the floors once or twice a week.
Step #3: Have your carpets professionally cleaned.
Not only your carpets but also your area rugs should be professionally cleaned at least once every six months. By doing this, the professional cleaning service will get deep down into the carpet pile where dust, dirt, allergens, and other pollutants and particulates get trapped. They get trapped there and then get kicked back up when you try to vacuum them or somebody walks over the carpeting.
When you get a professional carpet cleaning service on a regular basis, it’s going to improve air quality for the entire house.
