Winter is not easy on a home’s cleanliness. Just surviving winter at home can be exceedingly difficult, especially if you have young children and a number of other family members who are coming in and going out all day long.
Here are a few cleaning tips that can help you survive any winter, whether it is constantly snowing out, the weather is fluctuating up and down with a lot of runoff, melting, and refreezing, or any other conditions are present.
Cleaning Tip #1: Realize what will get tracked in.
Even if you make everyone remove their shoes the moment they step into the front door, there is going to be snow, salt, sand, and other debris getting tracked in. The melt off from the shoes can get on the floor and then be tracked in through the rest of the house.
Even if you have all the shoes secured on a rubber mat with a lip around the edge, that’s not going to prevent foreign contaminants from getting into the rest of your house.
Cleaning Tip #2: Wash the floors consistently.
Depending on what the weather is doing outside, if it is snowing, if the snow is melting and refreezing, and people are generally tracking in more water from outside, you should clean the floors, or at least quick mop them, daily.
Cleaning Tip #3: Rely on a professional carpet cleaning service this spring.
The best way to survive winter when it comes to the cleanliness of your home is to hire a professional carpet cleaning service in the beginning of spring. This will get your home looking and smelling it’s best, and ready for the summer season ahead.
After you have that carpet cleaning service come in, winter will seem like a distant memory and you’ll be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
