Deep Clean Your Bathroom
Deep cleaning is a satisfying experience and especially fun once you get to the bathroom. A fresh bathroom will make all your baths feel like a luxury. Follow this cleaning checklist to deep clean the washroom.
Bathroom Fan
Use a duster or a fine paintbrush to thoroughly clean the bathroom fan and remove any debris stuck in the crevices. Then, use a scrub or wet cloth to remove grime that might be stuck on the surface.
Wastebasket
Clear the trash can and wipe it well to smell fresh and clean. Don’t forget to wipe the outside of the basket, too. Then, put a new bin liner in it.
Cabinets
Bring order to your bathroom cabinets by taking everything out. Clean the items thoroughly and wipe down the shelves with a wet cloth. Once the shelves are dry, reload them and toss out the things you don’t want.
Toilet
Take care while cleaning the toilet, and avoid using harsh chemicals. Clean the seat with mild soap and wash it off with water. Scrub the inside of the pot with a toilet brush. Wash the toilet brush holder as well because germs can lurk there.
Shower Curtains
Many people forget that their shower curtains can collect soap scum and get slimy over time. Put the shower curtains for a wash on a gentle cycle. Then hang fresh curtains.
Bathroom Walls
Scrub the bathroom tiles with soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Check all the surfaces and crevices for mold because it can build up quickly in moist, humid environments. Your bathroom can also benefit from a weekly cleaning because it’s one of the most frequently used places with the most germs.
Garage or Attic Deep Cleaning
You need to clean every room in your home, including the attic and/or garage. These spaces might take the most time because we often tend to leave or dump things there for storage. When things pile up, dust and cobwebs start to accumulate.
Start by decluttering the space and letting go of items you no longer need. This can be made easy by sorting things into piles of ‘Keep,’ ‘Donate,’ and ‘Toss.’ After sorting everything, dust the items or wipe them down with a cloth. Remove mold and mildew with a rag dipped in white vinegar and water.
Then move everything to the corner or another room so that you can clean the floor easily. You can even use a power washer to remove stubborn stains.
Car Deep Cleaning
Your car is probably where you love spending time the most. Taking long drives, listening to music, and eating food is something we’ve all done in a car. But it can also get cluttered quickly, which is why you need this practical car cleaning checklist.
The Floor
Bring a trash bag and clean things from the floor, such as empty wrappers, cups, receipts, and other debris. If any important items are lying around, keep them in the house or the glove compartment. Remove the floor mats and give them a good shake to remove dust and dirt. Then, vacuum the carpet thoroughly.
Windows and Windshield
Brush debris from the windshield and remove any dirt from the tracks below. Spritz the glass with soapy water and slowly wipe it with a microfiber cloth. Windshield cleaning is essential so that no smudges and blurs distract you while driving.
Dashboard and Console
The dashboard and steering wheel will collect a lot of germs because they are the most often touched spots. Vacuum the dirt from the dashboard and compartments, then wipe these areas with a damp cloth. Remember to scrub your cupholders because they can become sticky and dirty.
Seats
Vacuum all of the car seats. Use a fine brush to remove the dirt or crumbs stuck in hard-to-reach areas. Wash the seats with a damp cloth and then blot them dry.
Pro tip: Avoid eating in the car because crumbs and food particles will collect in nooks and crannies. Keep a small trash bag in the glove compartment to throw things away without dirtying the car. Follow these simple hacks to keep your car clean.
