Humans are creatures of habit and routine. It's easy to fall into a rut with a cleaning schedule. You get comfortable doing the same tasks weekly or monthly. While this is great for home cleaning maintenance, it does result in missed areas. Hiring a professional cleaner can help you clean areas of your home that you may have turned a blind eye to.
Oven Interior
You may turn on your oven's self-cleaning feature, but that doesn't mean you are done cleaning the oven's interior. The most often forgotten part of the oven is the glass window in the door. The MaidPro cleaners are happy to include oven interior cleaning in their service upon request.
Ice Maker
The ice that is formed in your ice maker will pick up any food odors or residues in the lines or trays. You will taste these unpleasant flavors when you use the ice in your drinks. To prevent this, you should clean and sanitize the entire system. First, turn off the ice maker and throw out all of the ice. Wipe everything down with a rag and vinegar. Then dry everything well, replace the tray, and turn the maker back on.
Washer and Dryer
Did you know that mold and mildew can build up in the crevices of your washer and dryer? Your clothes can't get effectively cleaned if the machines are dirty. Use a bleach and water mixture to wipe down the rubber seals and run an empty load with bleach to wash the drum.
Refrigerator
People tend to not clean their refrigerators as often as they should. However, there is one area that gets forgotten even when people do clean their fridges. The rubber gasket on the door tends to get grimy and grow mildew. This is because the moisture in the fridge gathers in the seal's folds, allowing mold or mildew to grow. Use a sponge to wipe the gasket down with a water and vinegar mixture. Dry with a paper towel.
Mattress
You sleep on your mattress every night, so it will pick up oils, skin cells, and dust as you sleep. Use the furniture attachment on your vacuum to clean the mattress. Sprinkle baking soda over the mattress to absorb moisture and smells. Vacuum up the baking soda.
Exterior Window Washing
People tend to look through their windows, not at them. This leads them to miss the dirt and mildew right in front of them. Hire an exterior window cleaning service like Men in Kilts to wash your home's windows. Once clean, more natural light will come in, and your view of the outside will look clearer.
Humidifier
Your humidifier puts much-needed moisture back into your home's air. However, this also means it sits with water in the machine for long periods of time. You should periodically drain the reservoir and sanitize the entire system. Use white vinegar for a safe cleaning solution. Once you are done cleaning, rinse with plain water until the vinegar smell goes away.
Ceiling Fan Blades
People rarely look up when cleaning, so the ceiling fans tend to get forgotten. Then dust gets thrown off the blades and all over the room when the fan gets turned on. Run a duster over the edge and top of the blades.
