The Perfect 7 Day Cleaning Plan for Your Home
Looking for that deep cleaning but don´t really know where to start? A complete house cleaning done in one day sounds like too much work. Would it say there´s a manual on how to clean your house without feeling pressured? If you answered yes to any of those questions, well, you are in the right place. Big or small jobs should never use up a considerable chunk of your time. So, whether you are a busy professional, a stay-at-home parent, or clinging on to life trying to be organised, cleaning should not feel like its own job! And the good news? It doesn’t have to.
Let us introduce you to your new best friend: The Ultimate 7-Day Cleaning Schedule. The plan not only helps you break down cleaning chores into easy tasks but also makes cleaning feel less daunting. Forget the whole house cleaning in one day sessions, you can now take 20 to 45 minutes a day and turn your home into a calm and tidy space. Now, let’s get started!
1. Kitchen Deep Cleaning- Day 1
The kitchen is the epicentre of every home. Get straight into cleaning every worktop/ countertop and remove any unwanted residue during Bond Clean Brisbane. Remember to scrub the cabinet doors too, the fridge handles, the backsplash, which is prone to oil builds up also must be cleaned. Any abandoned food items in the fridge should be removed and the compartment wiped down. Clean the sink, as well as any vibratory plates, and free them from any hidden earthy smells by putting a lemon down the drain. Finally, finish off the kitchen by sweeping the floor and then mopping it.
Tip: For marks and other stubborn things other than dirt, use disinfectant spray and baking soda mixed with vinegar. The stove will be completely clean in no time!
2. Refreshing the living room- Day 2
The living room is a relaxing space, wouldn’t you agree? This is why you also need to dedicate some extra love and attention. Dealing with the coffee tables, side tables, and TV, do some decluttering and enjoy cleaning the surfaces. Get a duster and clean all electrical equipment, furniture as well and ceiling fans. Clean the pillows and fold the blankets, too. The cushions should be vacuumed as well the shrunk curtains, also don’t forget the carpets and rugs! Windows, along with mirrors, are also to be polished. Polish together with the mirrors to remove streaks and enjoy the sunlight afterwards.
For polishing lampshades and grouting between couch cushions, a lint roller is the ideal gadget. Put a drop of essential oil on the vacuum cleaner bag if you want to smell the region as you clean.
3. Day Three: Bathroom
Cleaning the bathroom shouldn’t be herculean. Go on with scrubbing of the toilet, sink, and tub or shower, followed by mirrors alongside the counter, paying attention to toothpaste markings and water stains. Sanitise every tap handle of the sink and light switch. Empty the trash can, and if not too dirty, rinse the bin or give it a disinfecting spray. Swap the old towels for clean ones and refill the soap and toilet paper.
Tip: Spraying the toilet bowl cleaner and letting it rest while you clean the remainder of the room for ten minutes makes scrubbing so much easier.
4. Day Four: Reset Bedroom
Your bedroom must serve as a place of relaxation. Add increasing peace to your bedroom by swapping the old bedding for new ones, and with clean sheets as well. Dust off the bedside table along with the lamps and all decorations, and finally vacuum the floor dust that hides under the bed. In completing these steps, make sure to remove any donations from your purse. If the laundry gets overwhelming, make sure to tackle it right away so it stays under control.
Advice: Apply a linen spray to keep the fragrance fresh. Alternatively, you might store a lavender sachet in your closet.
5. Day Five: Focus On Floors And The Entryway.
These are the two areas of your house that suffer the most damage due to foot traffic. Start with emptying all the mats and vacuuming all the rugs. Clean hard floors using warm water with a soft cleaner, and mop them. Also, it is necessary to wash upholstered furniture, especially on its sides and beneath it. Carpets are then to be vacuumed, mostly on corners and under areas where furniture is placed. The tops of pieces of furniture are washed to wipe away all visible dust. Arrange the shoe stand and any other mirrors located at the entrance and get rid of the clutter to make it tidier.
Tip: A microfiber mop does an excellent job catching dust and hair. A few drops of lemon essential oil would work wonders for odour when added to mop water.
6. Day Six: Deep Diving And Details
These days have a special little thing to work on: the things that are normally ignored. Go over the light switches, the door knobs and remotes and wipe them down. The interior doors as well as the walls should also be cleaned. Dust off all vertically mounted pieces of wood in the house as well as all decorative pieces and the picture enclosure. Check to see if air vents are dirty and, if they are, clean them. Dust the curtains and blinds and you will be amazed at the difference these minor details can make to your home’s cleanliness.
Tip: For small crevices, use a soft toothbrush to clean them, and for mess-free cleaning, a pillowcase can be slipped over the ceiling fan blades.
7. Day Seven: Laundering Day
Finish your week with a refresh on fabrics. Wash your pillowcases and bed sheets, and don’t forget blankets. Also, add bathroom towels, mats, kitchen cloths, and if you can, vacuum and rotate your mattress to prolong its life. I would also like to point out that keeping the washing area neat and tidy while folding will help stop the problem from occurring once more.
Tip: During the washing cycle, to keep fabrics bright and odour-free, add half a cup of baking soda.
Conclusion
With all major sections of your home cleaned, upkeep from this point shouldn’t be too difficult. The trick is to do a little each day. Set reminders, make these into daily routines, and assign household members, based on their age, age-appropriate chores. Clean while listening to your favourite music or podcast to have fun and treat yourself after completing your daily goal, to motivate yourself.
You don’t need to spend a lot of time on cleaning. Structured clean-up plans ensure a restful and tidy space every day of the week, but aim to make it a little less daunting.
