Maintaining a clean and healthy home environment is essential, especially during cold and flu season or when tackling persistent issues like mould. General home cleaning not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your space but also promotes well-being by reducing allergens and germs. Within my collection I share some effective strategies for keeping your home spotless and hygienic.
Prioritize disinfecting high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, and countertops to prevent the spread of viruses. You’ll find my solutions to effectively eliminate germs without introducing harsh chemicals into your home environment.
Mould can pose significant health risks, especially in damp areas like bathrooms. Create a mixture of water and white vinegar to treat affected areas. This natural solution can help kill mould spores without damaging surfaces or compromising indoor air quality. For stubborn mould, a paste made from baking soda and water applied directly to the area can be an effective remedy.
Regular vacuuming is crucial for removing dust, pet hair, and other debris from floors and carpets. For deeper cleaning, a DIY floor cleaner made from warm water, vinegar, and a few drops of essential oil can leave your floors sparkling and fresh. For carpets, consider sprinkling baking soda before vacuuming to neutralise odours and lift dirt.
Adopting these general home cleaning practices can significantly improve the cleanliness and healthfulness of your living space. By utilising natural and budget-friendly cleaning solutions, you can ensure your home remains a safe and welcoming environment for all.
