How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Home?

According to studies, allergies among children have increased by 50% in the UAE since the 1990s. As for adults, 71% had environmental triggers that remain untreated. Given how prevalent allergies have become in the UAE, it is vital to continuously find ways, whether big or small, on how to minimize it and its adverse effects on the health. Fortunately, this can be done by simply conducting regular home deep cleanings.

However, there is no hard and fast rule as to how often homes should be deeply cleaned. Most of the time, it depends on the humidity, moisture level, and dirt exposure of each part. While some areas of the house may require daily cleaning, others may need cleaning once a week, once a month, or at least once a year.

 

Daily Deep Cleaning

 

 

• Bathroom

 

Molds can easily accumulate in the bathroom, given its wet and humid environment, causing allergies from mold spores among people that use it. To avoid mold buildup, it is best to wipe all its areas with an all-purpose cleaner, spray surfaces, such as sinks, showers, and toilets, with disinfectants, and mop the floor daily to avoid soap scum from foaming and minimize the possibility of molds from growing.

 

 

• Kitchen

 

Given that the kitchen is the dirtiest room at home due to bacteria from raw poultry and red meat, as well as debris that cross-contaminate appliances, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the area every day to avoid food contamination. This may be through disinfecting kitchen surfaces, rinsing out dishes properly, sanitizing dining room tables, and washing sponges and wiping cloths so as to avoid bacteria and germs from spreading.

 

Weekly Deep Cleaning

 

 

• Flooring

 

Dust can easily accumulate in carpets and floorings, given how shoes may transport dirt from outside the house day-to-day. To avoid dust and dirt from building up, carpets and floorings must be vacuumed at least once a week.

 

 

• Living Room

 

Being the area that most people at home, even visitors, use often, the living room may be among the places where dirt and dust can easily accumulate. From sofas, pillows, and glass tables to wood furniture, weekly cleaning, wiping, and dusting is, thus, vital to maintain the fresh look of the area and its clean feel.

 

Monthly Deep Cleaning

 

 

• Bedroom

 

Being the area at home that most people use to rest, it is essential for the bedroom to have a clean look and feel. To this end, engaging in mattress deep cleaning services and changing beddings into fresh ones monthly is best to prevent dust mites from thriving, giving people a peaceful and restful environment.

 

• Furniture and Fixtures

Furniture and fixtures are frequently left out when people clean their living rooms and bedrooms, dusting them at the least. This may cause stains and dirt to accumulate, creating breeding grounds for dust mites and molds. To avoid this, it is vital that furniture and fixtures be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant liquids at least once a month.

 

Annual Deep Cleaning

 

• Ventilation Systems

Ventilation systems are responsible for maintaining air circulation and humidity levels at home, ensuring that your family breathes clean and fresh air. However, as dirt accumulates in their ducts, indoor air may become infested by outdoor pollutants, causing serious health problems. To avoid this, regular HVAC maintenance is necessary. Annual air duct cleaning in Dubai and in similar warm areas is also advisable to prevent ventilation systems from breaking down in hot, summer seasons.

 

• Gutters

Molds often thrive in gutters because they are frequently moist and humid. To minimize their growth, the area must be deeply cleaned at least annually with the assistance of home maintenance professionals, as the process may require complex processes that only they can handle.

 

Get the Help You Need

Although some areas of the home can be cleaned daily or weekly, there are parts that may require deeper cleaning practices that are usually out of the expertise of an ordinary homeowner. The good thing is, there are two remedies in addressing this: regularly engaging in home sanitization services or entering in an annual maintenance contract.

Home sanitization services will allow homeowners to engage in cleaning solutions as needed. May it be weekly or monthly, as long as they need a helping hand in maintaining the orderliness of their living spaces, they can reach out to services providers at any time.

On the other hand, entering into an annual maintenance contract will help homeowners remember the crucial areas of their homes that need once-a-year cleaning and maintenance services. This will ensure that they would have experts within their reach to conduct the necessary maintenance services that can expand the lifespan of their appliances, saving them expenses in the long run.
