Summer Cleaning Tips

With the warm weather upon us, the last thing we want to do is spend our time indoors cleaning. It’s the perfect opportunity to share some of our favorite tips for maintaining a clean and tidy home with minimal effort. Here’s how you can enjoy your summer while keeping your home in order.

Tackle Those Pesky Shower Screens

One of the trickiest places to keep clean is the shower screen. While many people rely on daily shower sprays, our go-to tool is the trusty squeegee. Simply running a squeegee over the surfaces after each shower can prevent the build-up of soap scum and water residue. Just remember to hang your squeegee on a suction hook to avoid leaving it wet on the floor, which can lead to mold forming on the silicone blade.

Keep Outdoor Dirt Outside

If your kids are constantly running in and out of the garden, you’ve probably noticed grass and dirt accumulating inside. A large doormat can be a lifesaver, absorbing moisture and catching dirt before it enters your home. This method is commonly used in commercial offices, where different types of matting are placed at entrances to scrape off dirt and absorb moisture, keeping indoor areas cleaner.

Easy Swimwear Care

With more frequent trips to the pool, swimwear might pile up. Instead of washing it after every use, simply rinse your swimwear in cold water and hang it up to dry. There’s no need to put it away immediately, and your kids can grab it right off the line the next time they need it. This saves time and reduces wear on the fabric.

Harness the Power of Sunlight

Take advantage of the sunny days by drying your clothes outside. Using the clothesline not only saves on electricity bills but also helps to naturally bleach and brighten white garments. Sunlight is a natural stain remover, so hanging your whites out in the sun can help restore them to their original brightness.
