Every new day comes with a limited amount of useful time, and it’s up to you to decide how you’ll use the gift of time that you are awarded. For instance, some people like to take care of their own cleaning during their free time, while others prefer to hire professional house cleaning services in Prairie Village to deal with the huge mess their home has become.
A huge mess in your home won’t appear out of thin air, not just due to the dust that collects ever so fast, nor those hard-to-reach corners you sometimes forget to clean — in most cases a big part of the problem is the ever-growing clutter and overall low frequency, extent and quality of house cleaning and maintenance.
Before you call in the experts to save the day and turn chaos into harmony, you should first make sure there are no distractions that could waste the cleaners’ time. Read on to find out more!
How do I start cleaning a messy house?
Take clutter down a notch. Start by picking up things that are randomly lying around, and sort them into categories. Decide which items should be thrown away, and which should be moved to their safe designated location. Once you deal with the basics and set ground rules to prevent the mess from forming in the future and make an effort to stick to them, cleaning up will get so much easier. Here are a few simple steps to help you get started:
- Pick up dirty clothes from your floors, chairs, bed, or wherever else you might have thrown them, and load the washing machine.
- Collect papers — including documents, newspapers and random notes, and move them somewhere safe for later sorting.
- Gather dirty dishes from all rooms and put them into the sink or a dishwasher. The sooner you wash them, the better.
- Use microfiber cloth with a bit of water to clean dust from surfaces, including walls, before vacuuming your floors and furniture.
- Develop good tidying habits such as making your bed in the morning as soon as you wake up, putting things back where they belong, or cleaning up and clearing your home of the mess and clutter as you go.
How do you clean a messy house in one day?
Here’s a quick cleaning strategy you can use when your house is completely messy, and you’re in a bit of a hurry to fix it as you’re expecting guests:
- Take a large trash bag with you and pick up trash in every room as you go through the house.
- Collect dirty dishes and load the dishwasher, or deposit them in the sink for now (you don’t have to wash them immediately).
- As previously advised, pick up scattered dirty clothes and start a load of laundry while you clean the rest of the house.
- Once you move the clutter, you can start with the actual cleaning: go room by room, and stick to the top-to-bottom rule.
- You can use natural cleaners such as white vinegar and baking soda to efficiently remove stains and unpleasant smells.
