Now is the perfect time for deep cleaning your home in time for the holiday season. It won’t be long before you are welcoming house guests for the holidays. Many of your guests will be family and close friends. This is the time of year when the closets and the pantry are in high demand. Some of your visitors will feel welcome enough to hang their own coats in the foyer closet. Therefore, it is important to clear your closets of clutter.

How to deep clean closets

• Are your closets cluttered and packed, with no room for guest coats and jackets?
• Are your bedroom and guest room closets teeming with shoe boxes?
• Reorganizing every closet and shelving unit in your home can provide additional space for guests and visitors.
• In addition, weeding out all the summer clothing can make your closets available for winter gear.
• The time is running short because you want to have your home and closets deep cleaned a couple weeks before Thanksgiving.
• This will give you sufficient time to plan and to decorate.
• You will avoid a marathon cleaning session that includes scrubbing toilets and floors the night before your guests arrive.

Deep cleaning the bathroom

Does your bathroom need deep cleaning?

If your bathroom doesn’t need deep cleaning today, it eventually will, because it simply gets used so much. We keep our bathroom usable and presentable for family and guests by daily cleaning. However, the time always comes when we need to focus on the hard-to-reach and hard-to-clean areas. Even though we clean the shower every week, the buildup of water spots on the shower door or stainless hardware take much more time and energy than you may have every week. A deep cleaning will include taking down and washing fixtures such as the light globes and fan covers. We want to offer some suggestions that will show you how to bring that deep cleaning sparkle back to your bathroom.

Removing tough water stains

• Water and soap in the tub or shower always results in the buildup of water spots. Start by removing everything from the shower or tub area.
• Spray an all-purpose or water spots cleaner on every surface, letting it sit for about five minutes.
• Scrub areas that you sprayed with a microfiber cloth. Once the spots are removed, polish the entire area with a clean, dry cloth.
• If you are dealing with particularly hard water, it may be necessary for you to clear a clogged showerhead.
• This is easily accomplished by removing the shower head and soaking it in diluted vinegar overnight.

Deep Cleaning

Clean versus sanitary

Deep cleaning is the best way to sanitize your kitchen. We cannot think of anyone who does not take great pride in a clean and sparkling kitchen. Unfortunately, sparkles, the kitchen can still be one of the dirtiest places in your home. Germs continuously grow, and start building up from the time you finish cleaning until the next time you prepare your food. We thought it would be a great idea to offer some helpful tips to keep your kitchen clean and sanitized.

Tips to slow the growth of microbes in your kitchen: 

• Before you use sponges or dishcloths, soak them in water and place them in the microwave for 2 minutes. This will kill any bacteria or microbes on the towel or sponge. Be careful when taking them out because they will be extremely hot.
• Sanitize your cutting board with hydrogen peroxide or a bleach and water solution. This should be done before and after cutting raw meat.
• Sanitize all appliance handles. Wipe down the handles of the refrigerator, stove, microwave, cabinets, faucets, and drawers. Use a bleach and water solution or hydrogen peroxide. This will counter the spread of germs from everyone’s hands around the kitchen.
• if you have used it to handle or clean up after raw meat.

Deep cleaning light fixtures

Remember that sparkle?

Deep cleaning light fixtures is an extremely important part of cleaning your home. We can assure you that light fixtures and chandeliers are part of the allure and beauty of every home. Beyond amplifying lighting, light fixtures add personality and style to common areas, dining rooms, and bathrooms. The only problem is that they get dirty in a very short period of time. If they are not cleaned regularly, they will become dusty, grungy, and bug laden. You should clean your chandeliers and light fixtures frequently, at least every 60 days.

Cleaning the fixtures

• Most glass and plastic fixtures can be easily cleaned by using a mild detergent in water, and a soft cloth.
• Clean all sides of the removable pieces, and rinse them thoroughly.
• Allow them to air dry, or wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
• The next step is to clean the rest of the fixture. You can either detach it from the ceiling, or you can stand on the ladder and clean it where it is attached to the ceiling.
• Use a lamb’s wool duster to remove dust from hanging fixtures.
• Take your time and work as thoroughly as possible, even dusting swag electrical cords. Use a Microfiber towel or duster to clean ornate areas on chandeliers.
• Use special care when wiping down the light bulbs.
• While you are up on the ladder, check to make sure that all the light bulbs are working before you re-attach any globes or covers.
• After everything is completely dry, re-attach the parts and fixtures.
• When you are finished, your home will appear brighter and cleaner because all your light fixtures will look as good as new.

Deep cleaning is a lot more intense and thorough than day-to-day cleaning. We want to offer handy tips that will make the physical cleaning easier. This week we want to share insider tips about deep cleaning. In essence, deep cleaning is an opportunity more than it is a chore. Deep cleaning is the perfect opportunity to take care the most neglected areas. It is an opportunity to reduce allergens, minimize clutter, and in general, make your home a haven.

The deep cleaning process

• When performing a deep cleaning, it is extremely helpful to systematically clean the entire house. Work from top-to-bottom, rather than room-to-room.
• This way, all the dust and debris that gets stirred up along the way is removed once and for all in your final sweep 
• We have learned that the most important factor is your attitude and your outlook. If you look at your house the way it is, you will become overwhelmed and discouraged.
• If you start by visualizing how it will be when you are finished, your home will be cleaned and organized, before you know it.
• Few things in life can allow you to sleep more restfully than a sparkling clean home. How long it takes will largely depend upon how big and how dirty your house is.

Toy cleaning is not child’s play

Deep cleaning means that you leave no stone unturned when it comes to maintaining a clean environment for you and your family. There are many valid reasons to keep your home clean, and one of the most important reasons is because we seek to keep our children as healthy as possible. We like to think of time of the year as the period when we are most likely to come down with a cold or the flu. However, any parent who has toddlers and primary aged children knows that young children are constantly dealing with colds and flu symptoms.

Consider the following tips to keep your children’s toys clean:

·         Use a baby wipe to clean off toys that hit the ground or floor while you are out and about.

·         Consider using a steam cleaner to steam and sanitize toys, play pens, car seats, and high chairs.

·         Wipe clean toys regularly with a disinfectant wipe.

·         Baby and toddler toys should be cleaned at least once weekly.

·         Older children’s toys can be cleaned monthly, unless they are frequently shared with younger children.

·         Plush toys should be steamed or laundered about 4 times per year.

Mold is rather easy to spot in food products. However, mold also grows without those noticeable spots. Yogurt may not have spots, but the container may be swelled, or the yogurt may have a slightly fermented smell or taste. To eat this product can be particularly unsafe. We normally associate mold with foodstuffs that have been around too long, but in actuality it can figuratively grow overnight.

Mold and mycotoxins

The actual danger behind mold is that several mold species produce poisonous substances called mycotoxins. The most treacherous of these is frequently found in peanuts and grains in developing countries. When you purchase a bag of peanuts, if you detect a moldy smell or a foul taste, throw them away. The mycotoxins found on peanuts and grains are a severe health threat.
