Your home is where you spend more time than any other place your entire life. You want it to be clean and comfortable. As such, you want to make sure your home’s floor surfaces look their best at all times.
Perhaps you have wall-to-wall carpeting in the family room, bedrooms, and maybe one other room in the house. The rest of the floors are hardwood, ceramic tile, or even linoleum tile, usually in the bathroom. You have area rugs in certain locations, and with all of these different floor surfaces, it can be difficult, to say the least, to keep them all looking their best.
Here are some tips that can help improve cleanliness of all of those different floor surfaces in your home.
1. Use a decent vacuum cleaner.
Choosing an inexpensive vacuum cleaner because you don’t believe it’s that much different than the higher end models is a mistake. Those more expensive models are simply more powerful, have better features, and are easier to use.
When you use a decent and high quality vacuum cleaner, you’ll be more inclined to take it out more than just once a week.
2. Encourage people to remove their shoes.
When you have children and others coming and going throughout the day, it can be difficult to remind them to remove their shoes. However, when they do, it will reduce the amount of dirt, pebbles, and other debris, including leaves, that gets tracked in.
3. Get help.
No, were not telling you to go seek counseling, but if you have other people in the house, including children, enlist their assistance in keeping those floor surfaces clean. You can make a ‘floor cleaning day,’ whereby everyone is responsible for a different room, to make sure it’s as clean as possible.
4. Set a schedule.
Sometimes you’re not going to feel like cleaning when you get home from work, are finished with the kids, and are just trying to relax at the end of a long day. However, if you set a schedule, stick to it.
These tips should certainly help you maintain cleaner floors throughout your house. Also, don’t forget the value of a professional carpet cleaning service and what they can do to make your home look its best.
