Consejos para poner a punto tu casa en verano

Tips to get your home ready for summer

Summer is not meant for cleaning, but it is one of the times of the year when maintaining the  cleanliness of the home  is essential. There is pollen, ants, and a lot of movement between the outside and the inside of the house, which can translate into unwanted guests that only increase the dirt. Not to mention the proliferation of mites and bacteria. In this regard, using an  air purifier  and other practical solutions can help you maintain a clean atmosphere, but there are other tasks to fulfill. Take note.

The importance of keeping a clean home in summer.

As we were saying, summer is a time when bacteria and other threats related to poor cleaning proliferate. By carrying out thorough cleaning, you achieve the following benefits:

  • If your house is tidy and has an adequate level of cleanliness, it offers more comfort. Vacations are meant to feel comfortable and relaxed, and in a dirty environment, this becomes more difficult.

  • When your family members feel comfortable in all the rooms, including the living room and kitchen, they are more likely to spend time with each other.

  • The risk of infections is minimized. For example, those of a bacterial type that affect the stomach, which are so common in summer, can completely change your planned activities for these dates. Additionally, you eliminate mites, which can cause respiratory illnesses, especially in the little ones.

Air quality

The health of your family is deeply affected by the quality of the air you breathe in your home. When the respiratory health of children is weakened by their environment, they are also more likely to develop allergies. A home should be a refuge where its inhabitants can rest safely. But if dust and mites accumulate, something that happens especially in summer, your house can contribute to the development of respiratory diseases.

Mites are present in all homes, even in the cleanest ones. But it is possible to limit their spread. By doing so, you will reduce their negative impact on your children's health. In addition to taking other measures, cover bedding with waterproof mattress covers, wash sheets in hot water every week, and avoid using carpets.

Tips for maintaining cleanliness in summer

The more maintenance you perform during the summer months, the less tedious the next deep seasonal cleaning will be.

Bathrooms:

  • Pay attention to dust weekly.

  • Sweep, dry mop, or vacuum the floors every two days.

  • Disinfect high-touch areas weekly: This includes doorknobs, light switches, and, of course, the toilet handle.

  • Wash the shower, bathtub, and sink weekly. A tip: make sure to always run the exhaust fan during and after the shower (for about 30 minutes more) to keep the bathroom humidity level reasonable and discourage mold growth.

  • Disinfect hard surfaces weekly with a cleaner.

Kitchen:

  • Clean your microwave at least monthly.

  • Clean the refrigerator and freezer weekly: Discard expired food and freezer items that are more than 6 months old. Clean the shelves, drawers, and opening crevices.

  • Disinfect high-touch areas weekly.

  • Clean countertops every day with a multi-purpose cleaner. If you don't want to see them full of bugs, never leave food scraps.

  • Sweep as often as you can, especially if you are hosting indoor and outdoor gatherings, where people may accidentally drag in dirt.

Bedrooms:

  • Dust everything weekly, from top to bottom: This includes dressers, lamps, and nightstands.

  • Sweep, dry mop, or vacuum the floors weekly.

  • Wash the windows, their frames, and sills monthly.

  • Wash all bed linens weekly: Sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and covers (if washable). Read and follow the care and cleaning instructions on the labels.
