Signature Maids – Summer Cleaning Tips

Summer is officially around the corner, along with humid weather and backyard gatherings. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, cleaning your home is continuously more vital than ever, especially if you plan on entertaining this summer. Get ready for summer by ensuring your home is tidy and your air conditioner systems are free of allergens and debris.

Clean the Air Conditioner Filter and Fan

Cleaning the air conditioner filter can be tedious, but it is necessary with the amount of dust it accumulates. An air conditioner can get easily clogged by dust. This can result in it breaking or blowing dirty air into your home. Cleaning your air conditioner filter regularly, especially before summer, will ensure that your home is ready for the hot weather. On top of dust-filled air conditioners, dusty fans can contribute to an increase in allergies. If you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies, it is essential to clean your fan to avoid the spread of pollen and other allergens.

Clean the Patio

Patios are the perfect areas to host a summer gathering. These areas generally consist of a grill, patio furniture, and other outdoor miscellaneous items. If you have not enjoyed time on your patio in a while, it might be time to clean it. Washing any linens, pillows, throw blankets, can provide extra sanitary precautions. Giving your grill a deep scrub before its first summer use is also necessary to ensure any bacteria or bugs have not welcomed themselves into it. Sweep your patios and brush away any spiderwebs or dried-up leaves.

Clean Your Garden

A garden can be a backyard’s greatest feature. Ensure your garden is well maintained before your next gathering. Riding of any dead plants and weeds can perk up the visual appeal. Finding a place to neatly organize and store any tools can create a less cluttered area.

Clean Your Windows

Nothing is better than looking towards the great outdoors through clean windows. Spend some time cleaning your windows and maintaining any broken parts. Summer is also a great time to clean your drapes and remove any dust from them.

Cleaning the Garage

A garage is an essential room but can also become the most cluttered. With patio furniture, summer toys, seasonal decorations, hardware tools, and more. Summer is the perfect time of year to declutter your garage. Take a day to tackle the garage by organizing it, getting rid of any unwanted items, and throwing away broken items. Once you are done organizing your garage, move any outdoor items such as patio furniture and deck boxes to their outdoor area. Before you finish, give your garage a good sweeping and dusting.

Deep Clean Your Kitchen Cabinets

Food and kitchen supplies can get lost in your cabinets for years. Kitchen items tend to accumulate more than others, and summer is the perfect time to sort through your cabinets. When organizing your cabinets, you might come across a few expired items or old supplies you do not have a use for. Use this opportunity to completely rid of the clutter. If you have not used that plate in five years, you probably will have no further use for it. As you are organizing your cabinets, wipe them down and ensure there are no crumbs or spills and spatters left behind.
