Keeping Your Home Fresh After a Deep Clean!
It’s Cleany the Penguin here, sliding in with some cool tips on how to maintain that fresh, spotless feeling after a professional deep clean from CleanPenguin!
A deep clean is like a fresh start for your home—surfaces shine, floors sparkle, and the air feels fresh. But how do you keep it that way for as long as possible? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Here are my top maintenance tips to help your home stay clean, cozy, and clutter-free between professional visits.
Cleany’s Clean-Keeping Tips
1. Tidy a Little Each Day
Just 5-10 minutes a day can make a huge difference! Set a timer and do a quick declutter—put things back where they belong, wipe down surfaces, and do a speedy sweep. A little effort now means less mess later!
2. Wipe Down High-Touch Surfaces
Handles, light switches, countertops, and tables can collect dirt and germs. Keep disinfecting wipes handy and give these spots a quick clean every day or two.
3. Stick to the “One-Minute Rule”
If a task takes one minute or less, do it right away! Hanging up a coat, rinsing a dish, or fluffing pillows doesn’t take long, but it keeps your home looking neat all the time.
4. Freshen Up Floors
Crumbs and dust can sneak in even when you least expect it! Vacuum or sweep high-traffic areas a few times a week to keep floors looking as clean as the day we left! (Bonus: A microfiber mop makes hard floors shine with little effort!)
5. Stay on Top of Laundry
A laundry pile grows fast. Try washing smaller loads more often so clothes and towels don’t take over your space.
6. Keep Bathrooms Sparkling
Wipe shower doors and dry sinks after each use to prevent buildup. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth can keep things fresh between deep cleans!
7. Make the Bed Every Morning
A made bed instantly makes a room feel cleaner and cozier—plus, it only takes a minute or two!
8. Take Your Shoes Off at the Door
Want to keep dirt and allergens outside where they belong? No shoes in the house! Have a designated shoe rack or tray by the door to trap dirt before it spreads.
With these easy tips, you can extend the life of your deep clean and enjoy a fresh, cozy home every day! Need another refresh? Just give CleanPenguin a call, and we’ll be there to bring back that just-cleaned magic!
