5 Tips & Tricks for Summer Cleaning

Summer is that time of the year, when the vibes are great and all everyone wants to do is have fun. Spring has just left the atmosphere and passions are high and you don’t want to be dragged down by unnecessary clean-up work. Dry and dusty winds bring about equally dusty households and ruined furniture. Cleaning up in summer can prove to be quite a daunting task.

 

However, summer cleaning is never an easy task. Figuring out where to get started can be nerve-wracking because you know that this is not your usual day-to-day dusting and mopping. Stocking up all the cleaning essentials for a complete summer clean-up is the easy part. Cleaning the house from top to bottom can be time-consuming and tiring. Here are some helpful tips to get you started and to make your summer cleaning enjoyable and productive.

These are hacks and products you can use to save time and achieve the best possible results from your cleaning efforts. They’ll also help you get the job done at a higher efficiency level.

1. Start Small


The feeling of being overwhelmed with the summer-cleaning task may throw you into disarray. You may be tempted to do everything at the same time. You want to declutter the house, clean the bathrooms, rearrange furniture, and still have time for the dirty dishes. The truth is that you may not get all this done in a day. Realizing this early enough will save you a lot of time and energy. 

Staring small is crucial, where you pick one task at a time and stick to it until it’s complete. Create a cleaning checklist for all the rooms to help you stay organized. Remember to indicate the areas that need extra attention. An excellent place to get started with summer-cleaning is with your clothes and closets. The clothes you wear every day are a reflection of what makes you feel good every day. As such, getting rid of those that no longer make you feel good is a good way to get started.

2. Keep Cleaning Products to a Minimum

 

You may need to shop for summer-cleaning products but keep them at a minimum. Buying a myriad of products will only create clutter that you don’t need. Choose an all-purpose cleaner and microfiber cloth. These are versatile, and you can use them in cleaning a majority of surfaces. 

Alternatively, mix up an all-natural home cleaning solution at home. An example of a simple recipe is as follows:

  • ¾ running alcohol
  • ¾ cup water 
  • 1 squirt of natural dish soap
  • 5 to 10 drops lemon, peppermint, or orange essential oil

Put all the ingredients in a spray bottle and mix by thoroughly shaking the bottle. You can use the product to clean granite, quartz, and marble counters, sinks, and appliances. 

3. How Can You Remove Stains Easily?

 

Some places will be hard to clean, no matter how much attention you accord them. However, these stain removal tips will help you get the work done in a shorter time. 

  • Use lemon to remove water stains on faucets 
  • Heat lemon juice and rinds in the microwave to get rid of grime
  • White vinegar is effective in beating shower head buildup
  • Using baking soda in cleaning stainless steel sinks will leave them sparkling 
  • Newspapers, vinegar, and liquid soap are the easiest way to achieve streak-free windows
  • Scrub your grill with an onion and some vinegar to remove any leftover remnants 
  • Cream of tartar does a perfect job in cleaning toasters and tea kettles 

Remember to rinse and dry all these surfaces and appliances after stain removal. 

4. Get The Kids Involved

 

One of the reasons summer-cleaning becomes daunting is doing it by yourself. Getting your household involved will make the task more enjoyable. Assign the children age-appropriate chores and supervise them to ensure they do the right thing. 

When organizing their room, let them have a voice on what they would like done. For example, in decluttering the kid’s toys, let them decide which toys they want to keep and those they want to let go of. If they can’t seem to decide, talk to them about donating. It will be easier for them to let go when they know they are giving to a child who has fever toys than they have. 

5. Don’t Forget About Your Air 

 

One of the essential yet overlooked parts of summer-cleaning is the HVAC system. It’s crucial to replace the furnace and filter with more robust ones with a high Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating. This will go a long way in keeping you and your family healthy in the summer. Your system will perform better at catching smaller and irritating particles, which is a relief for anyone with allergies.
