Summer is finally here. What a long awaited time! It’s easy to get carried away with holiday plans, especially after a year of tough restrictions and very limited travel. But guess what, your home needs attention now more than ever. During the summer is when you need to clean your house most frequently for the benefit of you and your family. In this article we will touch on just some of the important reasons why regular domestic cleaning should be one of your top priorities.

Allergies prevention and management

Unfortunately, a very large proportion of the UK population suffers from hay fever. This is an allergy caused by pollen from flowers, trees and grass. Although the allergy isn’t life threatening, it is very unpleasant and can spoil your whole summer. Regular steam cleaning at home will minimise the pollen you bring in from outside. Dust hard surfaces at least every other day and vacuum daily, preferably with a HEPA filter. We recently wrote an article on natural hay fever remedies,  which may be useful to you if you suffer from that allergy.

Bacteria Multiplication

It is during the summer when bacteria thrives. It needs high temperatures and moisture. Summer months in the UK provide both, so you can expect food to spoil faster and bacteria to spread on different surfaces. The two places you should concentrate most of your cleaning efforts on are the bathroom and the kitchen. Don’t forget to use a sanitiser after cleaning for better protection. If you want to use chemical-free disinfectant, it is best to rely on a professional cleaner. We have access to eco-friendly products that are not widely available on the market.

Don’t forget to clean the fridge fortnightly too!

Keeping bad smells away

It’s hot, you sweat, and even though you shower daily and your personal hygiene is on point, your home still needs air freshening. You don’t necessarily need to use the heavily scented products sold in stores. You can achieve the same effect (if not better) with some essential oils or even spraying lemon juice.

Kids are home more often

School summer holiday is fast approaching, which means you get a lot more of these cute little hands ready to turn the house upside down. In other words, your cleaning workload will increase and you will have to spend more time putting everything back in place, cleaning stains off the carpet and scrubbing junior art off the walls.

Give yourself space to think

Make sure you declutter your environment as much as possible. This will help you sleep better, think more creatively and will reduce the stuffy feeling in the room. Last thing you need during summer is a place full of unnecessary items that make breathing even harder and adds at least one more degree to the already high temperature.

Feel like this is too much pressure for your busy schedule? Don’t worry you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Bredon Hill Cleaning Services will gladly step in to help.
