House Cleaning Tips for Winter

Table of Contents

Most homeowners do their deep and spring house cleaning during the spring  and summer. They can freely place all their wet fabrics outside to air dry under the warm heat of the sun. However, don’t you think winter also requires a complete house cleaning?

During the cold season, you are left no choice but to be inside your home most of the time. Clearly, it means all the dust, lint, and dirt will be inside your home as well until the winter goes off. These air pollutants and grime will circulate throughout your house 24/7. Consequently, you have to do weekly house cleaning to avoid dirt buildup inside.

Eventually, if you do not do anything to keep your home clean and hygienic, some of your family members might get sick or have allergies throughout winter. Fortunately, we have some practical tips you can follow to maintain the cleanliness of your home.

Cleaning of Furnace and Air Filter Replacement

During winter, your furnace will be on an almost 24/7 operation to keep the warmth inside your home. You need to check your furnace if it has been cleaned and maintained to keep its high efficiency rate. A dirty furnace tends to consume more energy to meet its standard performance.

How often do you change air filters in your HVAC system? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that air filters must be changed every three months. This must be done to prevent trapped dust, pet danders, and molds to pollute your indoor air and blown back to your rooms.

Overall, this contributes to higher energy efficiency and better indoor air quality. If you need assistance, our professional house cleaning service will be at your disposal anytime.

Vacuum Both Sides of your Carpets and Area Rugs

Because we want to be done as fast as possible with cleaning, we are often tempted to just vacuum one side of our rugs and carpets. Vacuuming on only one side leaves the other still filled with dirt and molds, which still runs towards the opposite side.

Similar to local house cleaning, you need to vacuum both sides so no dirt, pet hairs, and food debris are left on the fibers. Leaving these things on your carpets and rugs can lead to bacterial growth and emit foul odor in the air.

Our one-time house cleaning service provides exceptional and modern cleaning process for all types of rugs and carpets. Get this done, to maintain the aesthetics and sanitation of your fabrics.

Kitchen Cleaning

Your kitchen is constantly exposed to harsh conditions of heat, moisture, dust, and scratches from sharp objects. For your weekly house cleaning, ensure you perform a deep kitchen cleaning like a pro. This is important to ensure the food you prepare is safe and bacteria-free.

Some of the best places you need to clean inside your kitchen include countertops, sinks, cooktops, hoods, dishwashers, faucets, baseboards, windowsills, cabinets, backsplash, and kickboards.

Deep Upholstery Cleaning

Similar to rugs and carpets, you need to take a closer look at your upholstery and sofas. They are quite a magnet for dust, spills, and food debris. In our professional house cleaning, we perform three cleaning options for upholstery – dry, wet, and steam cleaning.

Make sure to check the cleaning requirements of the delicate fabrics of your upholstery before even starting. With it being clean, you will have a more comfortable and light ambiance in the area.

Cleaning Refrigerator Coils

When your fridge coils are dusty and unclean, it can add $5 to $10 per month on your utility bills. Similar to HVAC, to keep its energy efficiency rating high, you need to vacuum the dust and clean your refrigerator coils periodically.

Like our private house cleaning service, we use a suitable brush for cleaning the condenser coil. We use strong HEPA vacuumed to remove those stubborn dust and grime at the back of the fridge.

Dusting of Windows and Horizontal Surfaces

As indoor air circulates around your home, dust is carried along with it and mostly sticks on windows, windowsills, and any horizontal surfaces. To prevent the dust from being recycled back into your HVAC system, you need to vacuum them off.

For horizontal surfaces, you can use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the dust. You can do the same thing for windows and windowsills. This procedure is similar to our package for one-time house cleaning service.

Empty and Disinfect Trash Receptacles

When your trash receptacle has not been emptied and disinfected for a week, it emits a nasty smell in the room which is detrimental to health. To prevent this from happening, have a regular check-up of your trash bins. If it is already full, then time to empty and disinfect them with bleach or any safe alternative.

Disinfect Your Toilet Bowl, Sinks, and Showerhead

In our complete house cleaning service, we include disinfecting toilet bowl, sink, and shower head inside the bathroom. These places are constantly exposed to water which serves as a good breeding ground for bacteria.

To keep it hygienic and smelling fresh, you need to wash those areas and disinfect afterwards with bleach or any safe alternative. You can also place an air freshener or essential oil inside your washroom to have an enticing scent.
