With summer just around the corner, the change in season can bring in its fair share of cleaning challenges. While the heat and humidity are unpleasant, the longer days mean more extra hours allowing you to get more done. This comes in handy if you’re thinking of tackling seasonal cleaning.

Here are some of our tidy tips to keep on top of house chores this summer:

During summer, we often find ourselves going inside and out a lot more. Whether coming back from the yard, a pool, or the beach, this extra foot traffic equates to extra dirty floors. 

This means you’ll have to clean the floor more often. One way you can minimize your cleaning efforts while maintaining a clean home is by purchasing a quality doormat for the front and back door. A high-quality doormat helps prevent any unwanted dust from immediately entering your home. 

For those with hardwood floors, we also recommend using a dehumidifier. This helps decrease humidity levels by drawing moisture from the air to help maintain your floor shine and decreases the chance of cracks developing.

Summer is really the best season to clean your windows. The warm temperature and sun allow them to quickly dry. 

If your windows have screens, we suggest you remove them and give them a wash in the sink or outside with a hose and liquid soap. 

For cleaning the actual window glass, allow the summer sun to shine in and use a streak-free glass cleaner for that sparkling, crystal clear look.

One can argue that one of the best things about summer is the food. Unfortunately, ice cream, barbeque sauce and summery drinks can make quite the mess. 

We recommend keeping a cleaning tool like microfibre cloths nearby with a handy spray bottle to clean up messes quickly. 

We do go through a lot more clothes during the summer months. Play clothes, swimmers, towels, and summer dresses mean the laundry hamper is bursting with dirty clothes! 

For those with kids, a smart way of keeping on top of the laundry is to try and get them involved. Teach your kids to sort out their clothes or help out with folding the washing, not only will you be getting an extra set of hands but you’re teaching them valuable life skills.

When temperatures rise, your bathroom will need an extra little TLC. Summer is the ideal time for mould and bacteria to accumulate. Try running an exhaust fan while showering and using a shower spray every other day as part of your summer daily cleaning routine. A few sprays a day keeps the mould and mildew away!

Did you know that your mattress needs to be cleaned at least twice a year? Once during the summer and again during the winter, this helps keep dust mites under control. 

Here’s how you do it:

Sprinkle a little odour eliminating powder or bicarb powder on your mattress

Leave for five to ten minutes

Remove your mattress and vacuum the top 

Flip it over and do it all over again on the other side 

If you’re wanting to go the extra mile, you can also keep things fresh by washing your sheets every week with hot water and using a linen spray.
