COVID-19 is showing no signs of slowing down, however, our efforts in social distancing are not going in vain. Therefore, it’s important to keep hopes up and so, today we’ll be looking at some spring cleaning tips to help you welcome back your friends and family once the storm blows over. Let’s jump right in.
Windows – Wash Them on Both Sides
Clean windows go a long way in making your home look cleaner and brighter. This is partly because cleaner windows improve lighting in your home, but it is mostly because clean windows are pleasant to look at. If you’ve been touching your windows through the months of the COVID-19 outbreak, it will be a good idea to get some sanitization on it, in addition to the usual solution of water, ammonia, and vinegar. Be sure to wear gloves as you sponge your windows down.
Clean Your Refrigerators – Cleaning the coils will help increase efficiency
Before stocking up your refrigerator with fresh food from stores once the storm blows over, you might want to take the chance and clean out your refrigerator. In addition to cleaning the interior and exterior of the refrigerator body, experts suggest cleaning the conditioner coils and free them of built-up dust. With time, these coils tend to accumulate a large amount of dust which greatly hinders their operational efficiency. However, with a good vacuum cleaner and a few minutes on the job, you can get your refrigerator coils dust-free. And if you feel like going the extra mile, purchase a special brush specifically used to clean refrigerator coils.
Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops Need a Thorough Scrub Down
While you’re still in the kitchen cleaning your refrigerator, you should go ahead and scrub your countertops down as well. Additionally, using a strong spray cleaner on your cabinets and other surfaces can help disinfect them and leave them spotless.
Clean Exterior Furniture for a More Welcoming Home Once COVID-19 Blows Over
To get ready for visitors after a long quarantine, you should wipe down all of your exterior furniture. The traditional mix of dishwashing liquid and water can help you restore the state of the furniture and make them more welcoming to future guests. While you’re at it, head to the shed and fire up your lawnmower and trim the grass on your yard. With a fresh look, your home will be more welcoming and pleasant to you and your family.
If your deck is wooden, it might need some refurbishment before it is ready to welcome your friends back. Get down and clean it out if you think it needs a scrubbing but if the deck needs resealing, consult an expert before going applying any strong chemicals.
Closing Thoughts
We’re all hoping the COVID-19 situation passes by as soon as possible, and once it does, your home should be ready to welcome back your friends and family after weeks of social distancing. In the meantime, stay safe and stay home.
