Improve your Home’s Air Quality with a Yearly Spring Clean

If you live in the UK, you will no doubt be looking forward to the end of the lockdowns and looking forward to returning to some form of normality and we are approaching the end of the cold winter, which is the perfect time for a spring clean at home. While we might not be able to see it with the naked eye, dust and bacteria accumulate on curtains, upholstery and hard surfaces and that can affect the health of your family.

Preparing for the Clean

Of course, you will need a lot of tools and utensils, plus bin bags, brushes and mops, along with cleaning solutions for the bathroom and kitchen. If possible, pick a dry weekend in March or April, which is more than enough time to complete the project and if you are working as a team, it won’t be long before you can call Vapor Clean to deep clean your carpets. You will have to make an online booking and at the right time, the carpet cleaning mobile team would arrive to deep clean carpets and maybe some upholstery.

Removing Furniture

Armchairs and sofas collect dust over the year and rather than beating them in the living room, take them out of the house and do what it takes to remove the dust trapped in the fabric. It is also better for the carpet cleaner is furniture is removed, for obvious reasons and the upholstery can also be cleaned by the carpet technician.

Hire a Small Skip

Once you enter the spare room and check the attic, you will need a reliable waste removal company to drop a skip on the day of the clean and everything can be dumped in the skip, which will be recycled by the waste removal firm. If you are a hoarder, it might take some self-discipline to get rid of things you neither use nor need and when the job is done, they will take the skip away.

Create Ventilation Paths

This can usually be done by opening select windows to allow the air to circulate, which improves the air quality inside your home. Bathrooms and kitchens should make good use of extractor fans, which constantly recycle the air in the room. Of course, you can buy air purifiers, which is a great way to ensure the air quality is optimal and they are not that expensive.

Washing Curtains & Wiping Blinds

Your screening gathers up a lot of dirt and dust and if curtains are washable, great, if not, they can be dry-cleaned, while blinds should be removed and wiped clean. If the weather allows, open up the windows while you clean the room, which will replace the air.

If you have a large driveway and garage space, this will help you to remove most of the furniture and begin the spring clean, and do check on the current Covid-19 updates before planning anything.
