How Often Should You Do Kitchen, Bathroom, and Window Cleaning, among Others

Being a homemaker is a lot of things and it isn’t just about keeping a family together. It involves creating a space for the family to not just live, but to create memories as well. Despite the countless and endless efforts to keep everything in place, there are times when we fail to keep everything exactly how it used to be.

Thus, the age-old question of “How often should you clean?”

In the Kitchen

Sweeping the floors, sanitizing the sink, and wiping down the kitchen counters are tasks you are recommended to do daily to keep everything spick and span. A task that should be done weekly would be cleaning your toaster by making sure there are no remaining crumbs before wiping it with a dishcloth soaked in warm, soapy water.

Refrigerators should be cleaned once every six months, this involves the whole process of defrosting everything in your refrigerator and wiping it down using a soft cloth with soapy water.

In the Bathroom

The toilet might seem like the dirtiest thing in your home but it isn’t. Unlike the kitchen sink, you can get away with cleaning the toilet once a week. The same thing goes for scrubbing down stains on your bathroom floor.

In the Living Room

Curtains are a way for you to also avoid seeing the dusty windows you are doing your best to hide from guests. Window cleaning can sometimes be a hassle therefore, a quick hack could be hiding them behind beautiful curtains. Curtains are easier to maintain since cleaning them should often be done once every three months. Same goes for lampshades that serve as decorative pieces that tie the whole living room together. Ideally, lampshades should be dusted twice a week.

In the Bedroom

Changing and washing your bedding should be done once a week by airing your bed every day. Pillowcases and duvet covers should be machine washed. It is also advisable to vacuum your mattress every fortnight to avoid dust mites.

In Every Area

Vacuuming carpets, scrubbing and washing down floors, and dusting your furniture and appliances are a few chores you should do daily. Window cleaning should be done once a week. Removing cobwebs is another task that should be done weekly.

Cleaning can such be a hassle but you have to keep cleaning to make your home neat and tidy.
