Cleaning Hacks 101: Home Cleaning
Decluster and conquer!
Have you ever wondered why cleaning companies would mostly require customers to decluster the items lying around prior to the service? This is to help facilitate the cleaning process.

IRK! That dirty microwave!
Ever encounter the irritating feeling that no matter how hard you rub and scrub, your microwave still feels greasy and dirty? Try filling up a microwaveable bowl with water and add 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar, then put the bowl of mixture into the microwave and turn it on high heat for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, cautiously remove the bowl from the microwave and use a clean cloth to wipe down your microwave.
The Hell Kitchen!
Dread cleaning your kitchen? This is especially true if you cook often. It can become frustrating to clean a kitchen that is greasy and filled with grime. How can we make it easier? Simply add any surface cleaner into a pail of warm water to clean your kitchen surface such as floors or walls and you will find yourself a clean kitchen!
Your cosy bedroom
Since our bedroom is supposed to be our rest haven, we would need to ensure that it is clean and tidy so that we could have a proper rest after a day of hard work. How can we clean our bedroom to ensure a comfortable nest for us to rest? Below are some pointers:
- Change your bed linens at least once a week
- Do not leave dirty clothes lying around and ensure they are deposited in a basket meant for dirty linens
- Clear the rubbish in your rubbish bin daily
- Clean/Vacuum your wall and floor to ensure it is dust-free
- For standing fans, clean at least twice a month, especially the blades which could trap dust within a short period of time. For ceiling fans, it is advisable to use a pillowcase to clean the blades as the dust might fall on the bed or furnitures nearby
- Lastly, freshen the whole place by spraying freshener or by using a scented candle.
Living room
This is the place where all family members normally spend most of their time communicating with each other or watching television together. Therefore, you can expect that the living room will mostly be filled with human particles either on the sofa, carpet, floor or even in the coffee table!
So where do we start? You might want to start from either your sofa or coffee table and leave the cleaning of your floors and carpet to the last. Always remember the golden rule to start cleaning from the high ground before moving to the lower surfaces. This will help prevent any duplication of cleaning due to the dust falling from high surface cleaning.
There are many other areas to take note of for home cleaning and the list is non-exhaustive. It is important to pay attention to the small details when cleaning your home so that it reduces the time taken for you to clean and tidy your home. The best advice? To enjoy the process and feel the satisfaction after the cleaning!
