Cleaning your Mission Viejo rental home can feel frightening, specifically if you’re not used to deep cleaning. But every home must be deep cleaned repeatedly, disregarding how big or small it may be. It would be tempting to put off deep cleaning tasks, which may appear like it’s saving you some work in the short run. But really, putting off important cleaning tasks may result in feeling so much more overwhelmed since the job gets bigger and worse to get done properly the longer you wait. Instead, create a schedule and divide the work into manageable tasks. Here are a few effective tips for making and sticking to a deep cleaning schedule for your home.
Make a List
Deep cleaning your rental home doesn’t have to be disheartening if you break down the work into smaller tasks and save the time you’ll need to complete them. A very good place to get started is by figuring out what needs to be cleaned and how often and regularly.
First off, list all the areas in your home that need deep cleaning. This may cover rooms like the kitchen and bathroom, bedrooms, common areas, and surfaces like windows, walls, and carpets. When you have an extensive list, you can get started organizing your schedule.
Create a Schedule
After that, find out how much time you need to execute each task and how often you should do them. Take one example, frequently used areas like kitchens and bathrooms should be deep cleaned even more often, though other areas of the house, like carpets, baseboards, light fixtures, and so on, just need to be deep cleaned once or twice a year. Try making use of a calendar or planner, which may be very useful in this step. You could similarly use a checklist such as the one found at this link to help make sure you remember everything.
To secure you don’t get overwhelmed, start by adding a few tasks to your calendar each week and then add more as you start on the schedule. You can even break down each task into smaller steps so that it’s not as terrifying. For example, deep cleaning a whole kitchen can certainly be a big project. Instead of just tackling the whole room in one day, you might only focus on cleaning the stovetop and oven one day and then scrubbing the fridge, floors, or cabinets the next day.
Sticking to Your Schedule
In the final analysis, the real test of a proper deep cleaning schedule is how easy it is to keep following it. Though it’s significant to be realistic about what you can put together in a week, try not to get too exasperated if you miss a day or two. Just pick up where you left off and continue following the schedule. Make it a point to schedule some time for yourself each week to tidy up common areas like the living room and bedrooms. This will help keep your home feeling clean and inviting, even on the days when you’re not doing a deep clean.
If you’re contending to keep up with your schedule, think about engaging a professional cleaning service to help out. They can administer the deep cleaning while you focus on other tasks, such as work or taking care of your family.
By following these tips, you can formulate a deep cleaning schedule that won’t overwhelm you. And by adhering to it, you can keep your rental home looking its best.
