A tidy home requires consistent upkeep. Weekly tasks like vacuuming, wiping benchtops, and cleaning bathrooms keep your living space hygienic. However, dust, grime, and allergens accumulate in hidden areas over time, requiring a thorough deep clean. To help you manage your home maintenance, we have outlined the ideal deep cleaning schedule.
Every 3 Months: Seasonal Refreshes
Every quarter, focus on areas that collect hidden dust: wipe down skirting boards, dust door frames, clean light fixtures, and wash interior window glass. It is also a good time to pull out large appliances (like the fridge and washing machine) and vacuum behind them.
Every 6 Months: Mid-Year Maintenance
Twice a year, perform these deeper sanitising tasks:
- Oven Cleaning: Scrub baked-on grease and carbon from your oven interior and racks to maintain kitchen efficiency.
- Mattress Care: Vacuum and deodorise your mattresses with baking soda to remove dust mites and allergens.
- Cabinets: Empty kitchen cupboards and wipe down the interior shelves to clear crumbs.
Once a Year: Annual Services
Once a year, hire professional steam cleaning services for your carpets and fabric upholstery. This extracts deep-seated dirt, dust mites, and stains that standard vacuum cleaners cannot reach, extending the lifespan of your furnishings.
