In A House…

Where we spend almost whole life using it as a shelter, sleeping and roaming the place, to stay safer than any other place.

In this case –

Cleaning your house and make it zero dust! is more important to…

• Your mind
• Heart
• Body
• In Every Aspect

Cleaning the house is a must to maintain the cleanliness of us keeping ourselves away from dirt and vermin.

A dirty house can be a birthplace of diseases.

So,

We should know and follow the process of house cleaning. This process can be followed by some simple steps rather than thinking it as tiresome or trifling work.

So,

Let’s see how we can keep our house clean in these steps.

You will see them in this whole article described in significant ways.

The Plan for (Zero Dust) House Cleaning

Before we start the cleaning process, we must plan how we are going to finish it properly.

Most of the time until we fail in the exam because we don’t have proper planning and preparation.

As like us –

We won’t be able to keep our house clean without a plan. Planning meaning is making a chart or schedule of the steps you are going to take. Let’s make the topic easier.

Suppose you are going to clean your room:

What thing should be cleaned first?

Sometimes

We think to clean the floors first, then furniture and later others.

Again,

If this is about cleaning the whole house, we become tensed what to clean first-

• Toilet
• Kitchen
• Dining
• Restroom

Many professional cleaners suggest having planned for each step.

You should make the plan of house cleaning according to our need and time.

First –

You need to schedule the time of cleaning when the process is going to happen. Then the quantity and quality of cleaning is also part of the plan.

It depends on –

How much you are motivated to spend your time on cleaning?

At leisure time can be helpful in this case. If you can clean the full house in a single period, then it can be properly done.

Again,

If you don’t have enough time to clean, then at least try to clean the dirtiest corners of the home. Part by part cleaning the floors or the kitchen or toilet can be a greater idea if you have a shorter time.

Even you can try to clean those areas which you missed last time to clean.

If you are “average busy person,” then clean the house every day in the little potion. It will reduce your pressure of cleaning.

But when you get enough time like once or twice a month, make the cleaning total for your house.

Cleaning Checklist

Now:

The checklist helps to make a job fun and interesting to do and increases enthusiasm.

In-house cleaning checklist:

there are some major things listed like attention and mind set-up

• Closets
• Cleaning Equipment
• Cleaning Areas, Etc

Here I am going to illustrate them to guide you.

Cleaning requires the kind of attention of yours so that the job can be done successfully.

So,

You need to be attentive to everything while cleaning.

If you are in a hurry, then the cleaning process will be scattered.

So,

The first thing set up your mind on timing. Play cool songs on the music player while cleaning. It can help you to keep your mind calm and content.

Also,

Do something that will keep your stress away. When you are about to clean the house, cover your closets to stay dirt-free.

Look for the vacuum if it’s working or not. Mop the floors and brush where it requires. For TV, fridge, computer monitor cleaning, try to use a cotton cloth.

Cleaning house daily, weekly or monthly is also the content of the checklist.

Cleaning Habits

Cleaning habits are more effective rather than cleaning the house once or twice a month.

It also helps –

The mind to stay joyous while staying at home.

Here is a short list of cleaning habits, those you should have:

Cleaning Area

Cleaning area means the whole space you are going to clean in your residence.
You may separate each area of your house in your checklist such as –

• Bathroom
• Kitchen
• Bedroom

Here I am showing the process cleaning each area serially:

Bathroom

The bathroom is as important to place like your bedroom.

So,

You should give more effort to clean the bathroom area. Suppose you had a guest in your house, don’t forget to clean the bathrooms.

Maybe you are habiting to some dirty bathroom…

You can try:

Vinegar and water instead of glass cleaner if that doesn’t work.

Bathtub Cleaning

The bathtub has regularly used the item as we need to wash regularly.

Things need to be cleaned daily, or the kitchen room will be unpleasant.

Let’s see –

How can we cover this area:

Oven Cleaning

Do you have bread toast in the early morning every day?

Then you surely do have a toaster oven in your kitchen.

To clean the oven first –

You should bust the crumbs.

Remember to unplug the machine before you do so.

Kitchen Sink Cleaning

Soap scum, food stains, rust, water spots, etc. are found in an uncleaned kitchen sink.

You need to take care of these things while cleaning the sink in your kitchen.

Scrub the sink at least once a month.

Mix up warm water with dishwashing liquid

And

Scrub the sink with a sponge dipping into the mixture.

You can line the sink with paper towels and soak them with bleach to bring back the color of the sink like newer.

Then wait for half an hour to rinse the sink.

For this reason –

You may use vinegar, detergent powder or liquid, etc.

Remember that –

Countertop Cleaning

Countertops in your kitchen are nothing but the places you use to stand on, unpacking the goods.

Mostly,

It’s the surface in the kitchen where you stand and do not only cooking but also other related works.

These places become dirty with food crumbs and wastage of foods.

Countertops can be of different types like –

• Butcher-block
• Solid wood
• Marble
• Granite
• Laminate
• Stainless Steel (SS), etc.

Try to seal the butcher-block & wood countertops with the wrapper for protection. You can use food-grade wax to protect them from any scratches.

Clean the marble & granite countertops with a sponge along with a mixture of warm water and cleaner.

You should clean the laminate countertops with a damp, soft cloth or microfiber towel and a mild household cleaner.

Do not use:

any harsh chemicals.

For other kinds of countertop, you can use a microfiber cloth with cleaner.

Plastic Containers Cleaning

Plastic containers are helping kit to store the food leftovers in the kitchen.

But

these things can get stinky, dirty.

You can clean the plastic containers in three steps:

Step #1:

These steps are banishing the stink, fighting the stains and cleaning totally.

Banish the stinks of these plastic containers with a mixture of baking soda and warm water.

Step #2:

Then soak them for 30 minutes and later rinse and dry.

For fighting stains

One tablespoon chlorine bleach with one cup of warm water solution will help you. Pour the solution or use a sponge to eradicate the stains.

Step #3:

Try to clean the containers at least once a week.

Also,

Try to keep them dry to make them odor free.

Kitchen Sponge Sanitization

If your kitchen isn’t enough to clean, then three kinds of pathogens will be found such as –

1. Salmonella
2. E. Coli, and
3. Pseudomonas

So,

You must try to sanitize the kitchen as well as a kitchen sponge.

Cleaning expert says using the bleach solution will kill the germs up to 99%.

Mix 3/4 cup of bleach in one gallon of water,

And

Soak the sponge for 5 minutes. And Put a sponge into a regular dishwasher load, using the “heated dry” setting.

Later you should use a strong vinegar solution to remove the bacteria.

Try to change the sponge after 3 weeks of usage.

Reduction of Kitchen Odors

The next –

Thing is to clean the garbage bin daily before or after you start cooking.

Use a wet paper towel to wipe debris from the kitchen. You should use disinfect cleaners to complete the cleaning process for zapping kitchen odors.

Also,

Clean the sink, fridge thoroughly to add this.

Mudroom

Mudroom or entry room or entryway:

Whatever you call this needs to be cleaned as it’s the first appearance of your guest.

Not only

For guests

But also

For the people living in the house, mudroom must remain shiny, cleaned and healthier.

Gleaning ideas of mudroom:

If your mudroom is chosen spaces to put –

• Jackets
• Shoes
• Gloves
• Purses
• Socks
• And other apparatus
• Then…

Take away the whole shebang that you can. Use water soaking the mats to soak the water and dirt if the shoes are sopping.

You can remove dry dirt easier than sticky mud.

But

You can sweep the floor with sweeper until you can’t see any footprints on it.

It will be plus if you separate the place of keeping clothes and other things at another right place.

Bedroom
