Not sure where to begin? Take a look at the 11 top tips below...
1. Use a checklist
From those mammoth tasks to little dusty corners, using room checklists will help you to never forget a spot again.
2. Clean your radiators
While many of us have the heating on to keep warm, it's vital you give your radiators a thorough clean to remove any hidden dust.
3. Don't forget the windows
Smears and streaks can easily be seen on windows, especially when the winter sunlight shines through. Give yours a good clean using a wet cloth. First, clean the frame, removing any cobwebs or dust. Next, clean your window (you can use fabric softener for a streak-free shine).
4. Get the dust out of your carpets
If not cleaned regularly, carpets can harbour dust, dirt, bacteria and pet hair: Larger carpets or rugs should be shaken outdoors over a fence at least two to four times a year.
5. Clean your curtains and shutters
While not necessarily visible, curtains hold everything from pollen to traffic fumes. You should try to clean curtains at least twice a year in the washing machine. 'Hang the curtains when they're still wet. This way they don't get crinkly,' they say.
6. Clean blankets and pillows
Don't forget to give those a clean too! 'Just put them in the washing machine. Extra tip: add a tennis ball to make sure the feathers don't stick together.
7. Hard floors
From hallway tiles to laminate flooring, deep cleaning your hard floors will remove the dirt, grime and scuff marks that build up over time. First, vacuum or sweep any fallen debris. Then, use a mop or steam cleaner to lift any hidden marks.
Hope these tips are helpful… Happy cleaning! :)
