Cleaning has a way of forming new beginnings. We like to think about cleaning in the spring but its never not a perfect time to clean out the dust and dirt and start fresh. A thorough cleaning can do wonders for your home, your health, and your mental well being.

When you clean your home, you’re not just cleaning dirt and dust. You’re also removing allergens, bacteria, and other pollutants that can make you and your family sick. A clean home is a healthier home, and a healthier home is a happier home.

Don’t wait, get back to cleaning today! Here are 7 Cleaning Hacks For A Healthier Home:

Appliance Cleaning

Give Your Stainless Steel Appliances The Shine They Deserve and Remove Harmful Bacteria with Sheila Shine.

Stainless steel surfaces can harbor harmful bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella. Regular cleaning of your appliances can help remove these germs and prevent the spread of disease.

Hack Tip #1: Baby Oil works and will definitely give your appliances a nice shine and leave them smudge resistant.

Tile Floor Cleaning

Throw Out Your String Mop and Upgrade To An O-Cedar Mop.

Tile floors can accumulate dust, dirt, and other allergens that can trigger allergies and asthma. Regular cleaning can help remove these allergens and create a healthier indoor environment.

Hack Tip #2: Flat Head Spray Mops Work Well Too But You Have To Change The Pads Often During The Cleaning.

Baseboard Cleaning

Clean Up Your Baseboards With Ease Using Krud Kutter.

Baseboards can accumulate dust, dirt, and other allergens that can trigger allergies and asthma. Regular cleaning can help remove these allergens and create a healthier indoor environment.

Hack Tip #3: Magic Erasers and Water Can Do Wonders On Baseboards But The Krud Kutter Speeds Up The Cleaning Process.

House Washing

Take The Mildew Off Your House With A Pump Up Sprayer, Outdoor Bleach, and A Spray Hose.

Dirt and grime can damage the exterior surfaces of your home over time, leading to costly repairs. Regular house washing can help maintain the integrity of your home and prevent the need for expensive repairs.

Hack Tip #4: A Soap Sprayer On A Garden Hose To Apply The Bleach.

Cleaning Chemicals For Tile Floors and Natural Stone Countertops

Switch Out Your Old Mopping Fluid For Crystal Clean by Stone Pro. This product not only leaves your tile floors cleaner but also put a layer of sealant in the grout after each use.

Using the right cleaning chemicals for your floors and counters is essential for maintaining a healthy home environment. When cleaning, it’s important to choose chemicals that are safe for your particular surface and avoid products that may leave a residue or film.

Hack Tip #5: Zep Neutral Floor Cleaner works for the cleaning too and is a bit cheaper if you are on a budget.

Shower Glass Cleaning

Get the hard water stains off your glass. Use Bioclean to help lift the hard water residue off the glass.

Hard water can contribute to the buildup of mineral deposits, which can create an unsightly and difficult-to-clean film on your shower glass. This can make it harder to remove soap scum and other debris, which can harbor harmful germs and bacteria if left unchecked. Over time, this buildup can also lead to scratches and other damage to your shower glass, which can create areas where bacteria and germs can thrive. In addition, hard water can cause skin irritation and dryness, which can lead to uncomfortable itching and flaking. Keeping your shower glass clean and clear of these stains can lead to a healthier home and extend the life of your shower.

Hack Tip #6: A Magic Eraser can sometimes remove the hard water spots from the shower glass without any chemical aid.

Deep Cleaning Your Shower

If you have ceramic tile or porcelain tile in your shower, a little CLR can go a long way to remove soap scum and hard water stains.

Deep cleaning in the shower can contribute to a healthier home environment by removing buildup, preventing the growth of harmful germs and bacteria, improving indoor air quality, enhancing the appearance of your bathroom, and preventing accidents.

Hack Tip #7: Use White Vinegar to dissolve the minerals built up into the shower head. The trick is to use a plastic bag and a rubber band to secure the vinegar around the shower head.
