Let’s be honest, keeping your home clean is a full-time job. Sure, the daily wipe-downs and weekly vacuuming help things look presentable, but every now and then, your space needs more than a surface-level shine. Deep cleaning gets into all those overlooked corners, behind the toilet, under the sofa cushions, and inside the fridge, where everyday routines just don’t reach. The big question is: how often should each area of your home be deep cleaned? Here’s what to know so you can stay on top of it without feeling overwhelmed. Kitchen Your kitchen sees constant action, which means it needs regular attention. Every month or so, give your appliances a good scrub, clean the oven, wipe down the fridge shelves, and sanitize the sink and garbage disposal. Grease and food splatters also build up on cabinet fronts and backsplashes, so don’t forget those either. If you cook frequently, you might find yourself deep cleaning even more often, and that’s okay. Kitchen deep cleans are needed every 1 to 3 months, depending on your lifestyle. Bathroom Because of the constant moisture, bathrooms are a breeding ground for bacteria and mold if left unchecked. Plan to deep clean your shower walls and grout lines every couple of months, and give the toilet (especially around the base and behind it) a thorough scrub. It’s also a great time to clean the bathroom fan, shine up fixtures, and toss out any expired products hiding in your cabinets. Adding the bathroom to your deep cleaning list every 1 to 2 months is a crucial part of keeping your home feeling fresh. Bedrooms Bedrooms might seem like the cleanest rooms in the house, but dust and allergens love to settle in soft surfaces. Every 3 to 6 months, wash your comforters and pillows (not just the pillowcases), flip your mattress, and vacuum underneath the bed. Closets could probably use a seasonal declutter, too, especially if you haven’t seen the floor in a while. Living Room With all the foot traffic, snacks, and screen time, your living room collects more than just memories. Every 2 to 3 months, move furniture around to clean underneath and behind it. Vacuum the couch cushions, wash any pillow covers or throw blankets, and dust fan blades, electronics, and baseboards. If you’ve got pets or kids, you might want to do this even more often. Whole-House Areas to Keep in Mind Certain parts of your home aren’t room-specific, but they still deserve regular attention. Think of things like windows and their tracks, doors and handles, vents, and light switches. A solid deep clean every few months helps reduce dust, improve air quality, and keep your home feeling truly fresh.

Having a carpet in your house not only keeps the house clean but also makes the house more attractive. Carpet cleaning leaves your house free of dust and molds that could lead to health complications and allergies. A carpet cleaning routine is important in making your house clean and ensures sufficient fresh air circulates in the house. To ensure a clean carpet the following routines are indispensable. Divide your carpet into sections: This routine is mostly important when it comes to wall to wall carpets. The vacuum phase of carpet cleaning should follow sectional cleaning to ensure that you clean all areas following a particular order. This routine is more thorough and leaves your carpet sparkling. Clean up spills immediately: The next important carpet cleaning routine is cleaning up the mess immediately it happens. This routine helps to eliminate the need to shampoo and clean up the entire carpet due to a single spill. Use an inconspicuous test area: This carpet cleaning routine is indispensable if your carpet is to have a longer life. When applying the cleaning shampoo and other agents, it is an important routine to test the cleaning liquids to prevent discoloring visible areas. Scratching and blotting: Ensure that you first blot the carpet or the spill area with a dry hard brush to ease the cleaning process and reduce the use of cleaning agents and shampoos. Always make it your routine to clean the carpet outwardly. This prevents spreading the stain to other parts of the carpet and ensures that unscathed areas remain so. Always use a clean bath towel to dry the carpet and prevent the carpet from becoming damp. To conclude, it is important to stick to your cleaning routine. It is prudent to have door mats that will arrest all the dirt before it gets to the main carpet. Make it a weekly routine to vacuum your house at least twice a fortnight .Clean all spills immediately to prevent them spreading to other areas. A clear cut and followed routine is indispensable if your carpet has to remain clean and attractive for many years into the future.
