Unlock a Cleaner Home with These Proven Ways to Keep Your House In Tip-Top Shape Between Maid Visits

Entering a clean, sparkling home can make all the difference between a hectic, stressful day and an oasis of solace.

But what if you don't have the space in your budget for regular professional cleanings?

Fear not! With a little effort and know-how, you can keep your house clean between visits from a maid service.

Read on to find out how to keep your house pristine—without breaking the bank.

What Are The Best Ways to Keep a House Clean With a Maid?

To ensure an overall clean and sanitary home, you need to take certain measures in between maid service visits.

Here are eight easy tips for maintaining a clean house:

Take your shoes off when you enter the house

Shoes track in dirt, mud, and other debris that can be difficult to remove without proper cleaning tools or techniques, so taking them off at the door helps reduce messes and wear on carpets and rugs.

Wipe up spills as soon as they happen

Blotting up liquid spills immediately will prevent staining, while vacuuming away any solid particles or debris.

Keep kitchen and bathroom surfaces clean

Wipe down counters after every use to prevent the build-up of dirt, grease, and bacteria.

Clean the stovetop with a degreaser or all-purpose cleaner regularly, and use disinfectant wipes on faucets and handles. Scrub the tile grout with a suitable cleaning solution as well.

Sweep floors often

Sweeping often helps remove dust particles that accumulate over time.

Add nylon mesh

Nylon mesh is designed to trap dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris before it has a chance to spread throughout your home. It’s easy to install in doorways or entryways, as well as in high traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways.

Mesh also helps reduce allergens by trapping pollen, mould spores, dander, and other airborne irritants.

How Will Following These Tips Help Keep My House Cleaner?

By taking a few simple steps in between professional cleanings, you can maintain cleaner floors and surfaces that require less effort to clean during your next scheduled maid service visit.

Taking your shoes off when entering the house helps keep dirt from being tracked in from outside. Wiping up spills immediately prevents unsightly stains before they have a chance to set in factories or carpets.

Keeping kitchen and bathroom surfaces clean not only reduces the spread of bacteria, but also makes it easier for cleaners to wipe down those areas quickly during their visit.

Adding nylon mesh is beneficial for trapping microscopic particles like dust and dirt so less of it accumulates throughout the rest of your home.

Anything Else I Should Consider Doing To Make Sure My Home Is In Good Shape Before Professional Cleaners Arrive?

Declutter each room

Before professional cleaners arrive, be sure to declutter each room they are scheduled to clean, so they can reach every surface easily and efficiently.

A cluttered area takes more time than one that’s already been cleared of excess items, so it gives cleaners the opportunity to get the job done quicker.

Moving furniture around is also beneficial if there are any hidden areas of dirt or dust that haven’t been seen while vacuuming or sweeping around furniture legs due to limited accessibility.

Rearranging furniture will expose those areas, so professional cleaners can do a more thorough job during their visit.

Tidy up closets, shelves, and cupboards.

Refresh your closets by organizing them in a way that makes sense to you; this will create an orderly atmosphere and help reduce stress.

Organizing closets, shelves, and cupboards will help keep items accessible and can prevent any dust or debris from flying around in the air.

Organizing your closets is a great way to keep them clean and tidy so that professional cleaners can easily access them and make sure everything is in order.

This will save time for both you and the cleaning crew!

What Are Some Takeaways From This Article For Keeping My House Clean?

To make sure your house remains clean between visits from professional cleaners, there are several things you can do on your own at home – like taking off your shoes at the door and wiping up any spills that occur immediately – that can significantly reduce the amount of time and energy your cleaners need to spend while they’re there.

Also, adding nylon mesh to entryways and other high-traffic areas can help trap dirt, dust, and allergens before they become an issue.

To get the most out of each visit from the cleaning crew, be sure to move furniture around occasionally, so cleaners can see all areas of your home, and also tidy up your closets before their arrival.

By following these simple tips, you may find that it’s easier than ever to keep your house in tip-top shape between cleaners' visits!
