Mess and clutter in a house can be an eye-sore. Not to mention, an unkempt house can be overwhelming to live in too. Add a rodent to the mix and it’s a nightmare.
Here are 8 tips to keep your house magazine-cover ready.
Tidy the Bed
As soon as you wake up, make your bed. Fold the comforter, fix the bedsheets and pillows.
Ensure that nothing is out of place. A neat bed will make the whole room look better and cleaner.
Get Rid of Pests
Pests and rodents are not only pesky but they also spread diseases. If you notice anything that points towards the presence of rodents, call rodent control immediately.
Even if you are sure there are no pests, it is a good idea to get a pest inspection done regularly. It will keep the rodents at bay and ensure you are pest-free.
Get a Sparkly Kitchen
Keep the countertops and floors clean. If you notice any spills, clean them immediately.
Keep the dirty dishes in the dishwasher after eating instead of letting them pile up in the sink. Rinse the utensils as soon as you cook. Change the dish towel frequently.
Target Ceilings and Walls
Clear off the cobwebs from the corners of the ceilings. Put a cloth on top of the cobweb duster to take out the cobwebs.
Next, thoroughly clean the dust that settles at the bottom of the walls. They are mostly seen at the corners.
Call rodent removal if you notice any signs of rodent droppings in the corners.
Dust the House
Next, focus on the furniture, shelves and appliances. Dust tends to settle on them every day, so cleaning them regularly ensures the dust layer doesn’t thicken.
Clean the doors and windows with soap water and cloth. Carefully dust the decorative items with a fibre duster.
Finally, sweep the floor with a broom or vacuum. You can even mop the floor with hot water and cleaning solution. This should also help prevent pest infestation in longer run.
Keep Sink and Toilet Hygienic
Don’t forget about the sink, bathtub and toilet. Not cleaning them often will leave behind dirt and stains.
Use cleaning agents to scrub the sink and the bathtub. Rinse them and wipe down using a clean cloth.
For the toilet, flush it first to make the inside wet. Apply the toilet cleaner on the edges of the bowl. Use cleaning gloves and scrub the bowl. Flush once again.
Clean Mirrors and Glass
Who doesn’t hate seeing fingerprints and spots on mirrors and glass? Thankfully, cleaning them is easy.
Put rubbing alcohol on a cotton cloth and clean the mirrors and glass. After that, use a generous amount of glass cleaner. Wipe the glass with a clean cloth.
Get a Radiant Garden
Rake all the dry leaves and trim the grass regularly.
Look for signs of rodents as they tend to hide out in the garden. If you do spot rodents like rats, call the commercial pest control without further delay.
These tips won’t take too long to execute and your house will look amazing in no time!
