Unleashing the Power of Summer Cleaning: Essential Tips

When the mercury rises and the sun comes out, it’s the perfect time to roll up your sleeves for some Summer cleaning!

The warm weather always has us feeling energised and motivated, so why not use it to your advantage and spruce up your house a bit?

If you want to enjoy a lovely clean house for hosting BBQ’s, pool parties, and relaxing in the garden, then you’re going to want to do a Summer deep clean.

Here are our expert tips from professional cleaners, that will have your home summer-ready in no time!

Time-Saving Tips for Your Summer Cleaning Checklist

Summer is meant to be a time to relax and have fun, so cleaning is probably the last thing you feel like doing.

But that’s okay, a big Summer clean doesn’t have to be time-consuming!

Your goal is to clean thoroughly, deeply, and efficiently, so you can get back to enjoying the lovely weather.

Here are some helpful tips that will get your summer cleaning done and dusted in no time.

• Make a checklist of all the areas and items in your house that need to be cleaned. Sometimes, simply putting it down on paper can feel less daunting and keep you organised.
• Prioritise tasks so that the most important parts get cleaned first. Little bits of tidying up might be able to wait for a rainy day!
• Set a timer and challenge yourself to achieve specific tasks within a set time frame. This will help you avoid procrastination and keep you moving quickly through your checklist.
• Before you start deep cleaning, make sure you declutter the space you’ll be working on. That will help get everything out of the way, so you can clearly see what needs to be cleaned.
• Gather all your cleaning supplies and tools before you start, so that you’re not running to and from the shops in the middle of your big Summer clean.
• When you’re cleaning a room, it’s a good idea to start from top to bottom. That way, you won’t have to re-clean areas when dust and debris fall from higher surfaces.
• Pop on a podcast or some music from your favourite artist to make the cleaning process fun. It will help you stay motivated, and you’ll move so much quicker when you’re bopping around.
• You can save a lot of time if you clean as you go and conduct a deeper clean every couple of months. Try creating a seasonal cleaning schedule that calls for a deep clean with the changing of the seasons.

And of course, don’t forget to take breaks!

Cleaning can be physically demanding and mentally draining. Make time to stretch, hydrate, and recharge before you tackle the next mess.

Prioritizing Tasks for a Swift Summer Clean-Up 

When you think of Summer, not many people automatically associate it with summer cleaning.

But if you think about it, the warm weather is actually the perfect time for some summer home maintenance.

Not many people realise this, but there are several things that need to be able to fully air dry after being washed. 

So while the sun is out, here are a few key areas to prioritise this summer:

• Give the outdoor furniture a good clean and wipe-down, so it’s ready for you to enjoy and soak up the sun.
• Your wooden deck will need to completely air dry after cleaning in order to prevent mould and mildew from building up, so now is the perfect time!
• Make sure your outside windows are cleaned and have plenty of time to dry off in this gorgeous Summer sun
• Get your pool summer-ready with a deep clean and maintenance routine
• Your floors will dry much quicker after mopping in the warm Summer heat, so give them a thorough scrubbing and leave the doors open for them to dry in no time!
• Let your clothes air dry in the sun for an extra antibacterial boost; the sun's rays can kill off germs and bacteria
• Air your mattress in the sun while the weather is nice, and maybe add your pillows and duvet too while you’re at it!
