Experts from HomeSquad, one of the best cleaning companies in Dubai share their tips on the best time to clean and what to clean.

A clean house is a happy house. Studies have proven that living in clean and organized surroundings can reduce stress, improve health, happiness, and productivity. Regular cleaning reduces the presence of dust, mold, and allergens and also adds freshness to your home or office. In a nutshell, regular cleaning is good for your health and wellbeing.

Let’s be honest though, cleaning is not the most exciting task, and to do a complete cleanup of your home or office, can seem very daunting. This is why at HomeSquad we believe the best way to go about cleaning is to divide the work, create a check-list and ensure you build the tasks into your routine.

Every area of the house requires a specific frequency of cleaning. Certain things need regular cleaning while others will require only occasional cleaning. To make it simpler, we’ve compiled a checklist, to help you keep track of the things that need cleaning and when to clean them.

The Importance Of A House Cleaning Checklist

A cleaning checklist helps keep household chores under control and guarantees you live in a neat and organized house. As specialists in cleaning, we think a regular house cleaning routine makes it simpler to cope with cleaning tasks and prevents chores from building up. A few of the cleaning experts from HomeSquad have studied numerous cleaning routines and researched various studies. The outcome: a simplified checklist that is easy to follow and can be used by everyone.

Things You Should Consider Cleaning Everyday

Everyday cleaning should be focused on all the things that need immediate attention. Following a ‘clean as you go’ routine will help you avoid dealing with big messes in the future, and reduce the overall tasks for each cleaning session. A tactic our cleaning experts suggest is to do a quick scan when you move from one room to another to make sure everything is in its place. Pick up what is out of place and put away as needed or wipe out any evident dirt.

Here is a list of tasks we believe should be added to your daily cleaning checklist.

• Make bed
• Wash dishes
• Wipe down kitchen countertops
• Sanitize sinks in kitchen and bathroom
• Sweep kitchen floor
• Wipe down tables
• Clean bathroom surfaces
• Take out the trash
• Clean the litter box of your pet

Things You Should Consider Cleaning Every Week

Weekly tasks are a bit more detailed and will require you to spend a bit more time. A weekly cleaning helps to prevent dust and mold formation and also prevents the growth of germs and bugs. Pay attention to cleaning up common areas, surfaces that need more care, and that are not included in your daily cleaning routine.

Here is a list of tasks you should consider adding to your weekly cleaning checklist.

• Dust furniture/surfaces
• Vacuum floors and furniture
• Mop all floors
