Keeping your home clean and tidy is essential not only for aesthetic appeal but also for a healthier living environment. At M Service Cleaners Ltd., we know that managing a busy schedule while maintaining a spotless home can be challenging. Here are some practical, time-saving residential cleaning tips to help you keep every corner of your home sparkling.

Create a Cleaning Schedule

Consistency is key to a clean home. Break down tasks into daily, weekly, monthly chores.
Focus on high traffic areas like the kitchen and bathrooms daily, and reserve less used areas like guest rooms for weekly or bi-weekly cleaning
Stick to your schedule, even if it’s just 10 -15 minutes a day, to prevent dirt from accumulating.

Start with Decluttering

Before you start cleaning, declutter each room. Place items back in their designated spots or consider donating what you no longer need.
⁠⁠Use baskets or bins to organize loose items and avoid clutter from building up. A
decluttered space not only looks cleaner but also makes deep cleaning easier.

Clean top to bottom

⁠Begin by dusting ceiling fans, light fixtures, and shelves, working your way down.
This technique ensures that dust and debris fall to the floor, which can be cleaned at the end.
Don't forget commonly missed areas, such as baseboards and the tops of cabinets.

Use Microfiber clothes and mops

Microfiber cloths are highly effective in trapping dust and bacteria, making them a better choice than traditional cloths.
They're reusable, eco-friendly, and don't require harsh chemicals to be effective, saving you time and reducing waste.

Master Bathroom Cleaning

⁠Clean the bathroom last if it's your daily routine but always have a weekly deep clean.
⁠For shower doors and tiles, use a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Let it sit, then scrub with a soft brush for a gleaming finish.
Keep disinfecting wipes handy to quickly clean the sink and counter surfaces each
day to prevent buildup.

Focus on High – Touch Surfaces

Door handles, light switches, remotes, and appliance handles can harbor bacteria and viruses.
Disinfect these surfaces at least weekly and daily if someone in your household is ill. Use a gentle cleaner to avoid damaging the surfaces but ensure effective sanitization.

Vacuum Smartly

Vacuuming is more effective than sweeping as it traps dust rather than pushing it around.
Vacuum carpets and rugs at least twice a week, and don't forget to vacuum under furniture and along baseboards where dust accumulates.

Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Grease and grime accumulate quickly in the kitchen. Use a mix of baking soda and water for countertops, backsplashes, and stove tops to scrub away residue without scratching surfaces.
⁠Regularly clean inside appliances like microwaves and ovens. Place a microwave-safe bowl filled with water and lemon juice in the microwave for 3-5 minutes to easily wipe away food splatters

Fresh Up the Air

Open windows and doors regularly to allow fresh air to circulate, which can help remove dust and odors.
Place houseplants around your home to purify the air naturally. They absorb toxins and release oxygen, improving air quality and giving your space a vibrant touch.
