Keeping a clean home is important for both aesthetic and health reasons. However, sometimes cleaning can be a daunting task. Whether it's tackling tough stains, organizing clutter, or simply finding the time to clean, maintaining a clean home can be a challenge. That's where SERVPRO of Seattle Northeast comes in - we offer professional cleaning services to help take the burden off of homeowners. But for those who want to tackle cleaning on their own, here are some tips to make the process easier and more effective.

Declutter First

Before starting any cleaning, take the time to declutter. Get rid of any items that are no longer needed or wanted. This will make the cleaning process easier and more efficient.

Start from the Top

When cleaning a room, start from the top and work your way down. This ensures that any dust or debris that falls will be picked up as you clean lower surfaces.

Use a Vacuum with HEPA Filters

Vacuuming is an essential part of cleaning, but using a vacuum with HEPA filters ensures that allergens and other particles are trapped and not released back into the air.

Clean Surfaces Before Floors

When cleaning a room, clean the surfaces before the floors. This ensures that any dust or debris that falls during surface cleaning will be picked up during floor cleaning.

Use Microfiber Cloths

Microfiber cloths are great for cleaning because they trap dirt and debris, and can be used without any cleaning products.

Don't Forget About the Small Stuff

Don't overlook small items like light switches, doorknobs, and remote controls. These items can harbor germs and should be cleaned regularly.

Clean Appliances Regularly

Appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers should be cleaned regularly to prevent buildup and keep them running efficiently.

Take Care of Carpets and Rugs

Carpets and rugs should be vacuumed regularly, and deep cleaned at least once a year. This helps to remove dirt and allergens, and prolong the life of the carpet.
