Your home is your castle. You have worked hard for it; now it is time to protect it. A clean home can extend the life of your house and the items inside of it. In this blog post, we are going to share some helpful tips on how a clean home saves you money!
Spotless Floors
Make sure that you clean all spills on your hardwood floors as quickly as possible. Any prolonged moisture sitting on the surfaces can soak into the material, increasing the chance for staining to occur.
Be sure to use the right cleaning products on your floors. Harsh chemicals can break down the protective surface of your floors and cause them to deteriorate.
Some additional preventive measures you can implement in your home are:
- Purchasing mats for high traffic areas, including any entrances to your home, is a great way to protect the floor underneath from damage.
- Adding padding to all the legs of your furniture will ensure that they don’t scrape or mark the floor underneath them.
- If you have pets, make sure that you clean their paws on the way into the house, reducing the amount of dirt and grime spread throughout your home.
Tidy Furniture
Vacuum your fabric couches and chairs on a regular basis. Even the dirt and dust, you can’t see can get ground into the fabric each time someone sits on the couch. Avoid the wear and tear that has on the fabric and keep your sofas clean. Lampshades are a magnet for dust. To help protect the material and keep them clean, use a lint brush to quickly remove any dirt. To protect your wooden furniture, don’t place it over or near a heater.
