The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) points out that indoor air quality could be as much as five times worse than the air outside. Indoor dust, trapped pollen, and tracked-in dirt combine with normal living to create an environment that isn't as clean as anybody would like. You can easily keep your Cypress, Texas home clean and avoid trapped germs, dust and dirt with a few simple tips and tactics.
Cleaning Tip #1: Wash and Disinfect Waste Baskets
From kitchen garbage cans to powder room wastebaskets, germs can hide in nooks and crannies for months. Get ahead by washing the receptacles with water, then wiping them with a 50% water solution of disinfectant. Environmentally friendly disinfectants include hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar. Bleach isn't as environmentally friendly but it will destroy undesirable bacteria and viruses.
Cleaning Tip #2: Turn Your Furniture Over and Vacuum the Underside
You may be alarmed by what you see when you turn your chairs or sofa upside-down. Don't worry: You'll be able to vacuum up the dust with a hand-held vacuum or nozzle and hose. This is a great project for two or more family members and goes quickly with help.
Cleaning Tip #3: Wipe the Top of Everything
Horizontal surfaces collect dust and grime and are often overlooked while cleaning. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the trim on baseboards and chair railings. Wipe the top of paintings and photos and any ceiling fans. Check the top of kitchen and bathroom cabinets and vanities and wipe them clean.
Cleaning Tip #4: Keep Supplies Handy for Quick Touch-ups
Put a spot-cleaning kit together and keep it handy in your kitchen or bathroom. White "magic" cleaning pads can quickly remove smudges on light switches, refrigerator doors, and outlets. Use microfiber cloths to pick up dust on shelves and electronics. Keep lint rollers handy to pick up lint, pet, or human hair on clothing and furniture.
A clean, tidy home looks great, and it is also healthier than an environment full of dust and grime. Contact our Cypress, TX apartments to see floor plans and enjoy your clean, healthy home.
