How To Have The Best Winter Cleaning

November 27, 2021   

The winter months mean holidays with friends and family and staying inside more to avoid the cold weather. This means you’ve probably begun preparing for the colder months, but have you thought about winter cleaning? A proper winter cleaning isn’t something that should be overlooked. Interkleen wants to make sure everything is taken care of. Below, you’ll find tips that will make you enjoy the indoor environment as much as possible. If you’re looking to have a commercial property cleaned, we can help with that too!

 

Check The Furnace System

If you’re farther up north, you most likely have a furnace system. It’s a smart idea to check the system for dust and debris as a large build-up can result in a fire when turned on. For people in South Florida, it’s a smart idea to change your air filters and clean our vents and air ducts. Not only is there a risk of starting a fire, but when the heater is turned on, it can burn the dust and debris creating a burning smell throughout the house. 

 

Clear Out Clutter

Clutter can seem to appear out of nowhere at times. Over time, things get left somewhere and you forget about it. There’s no better time to remove that clutter than during the winter months. Removing clutter makes the rest of your winter cleaning much easier. With less clutter, you’ll be able to move around easier and clean every surface possible. Some tips for removing clutter include:

• If you haven’t used it in over a year, get rid of it
• Create three bins labeled keep, donate, throw away.
• Start small
• Work with family to make it go quicker
• Donate toys that are no longer needed
• Remove clothes you haven’t worn or have outgrown

 

Have Dryer Vents Cleaned

While lint traps can collect a bulk of lint found in dryers, lint will still build up in the dryer’s hoses. Like other debris, a buildup of lint can create a serious fire hazard. It can also severely reduce the air quality in your home. Having a professional do this is the best way to know it is truly clean.

 

Deep Clean Your Kitchen

During the winter months, you’re probably doing a lot more cooking than usual. Using the kitchen more means more of a mess than usual. The kitchen should see some love during your winter cleaning. Make sure to clean all of the major appliances including the oven, stove, and refrigerator. Make sure to get in between and behind appliances as well as food can often fall behind them without ever noticing. Since you’ll be cleaning the pantry and refrigerator, it’s a smart idea to check for any expired food. A clean kitchen will make staying indoors a much better time for everyone.

 

Clean Your Windows

The cooler weather will make smears and dirt on glass much more noticeable. Cleaner windows will allow more light to shine through, making the daytime more pleasant.
