At Carvalho’s Cleaning, our professional house cleaners will ensure that your home is spotless. We will clean your floors, windows, furniture, and other areas of your home so that it sparkles with cleanliness.

But in some cases, even when a home is in tip-top shape, it can still look like it needs more cleaning. There are a number of factors that can influence the way your home looks even after our cleaning crew has finished.

Lighting Effects

When there is a lot of light, a room will look cleaner. Conversely, when there is not very much light, even a clean room can look dirty and dank.

Part of that has to do with the fact that light is a natural sanitizer. When objects are left in direct sunlight, over time they will become washed out or bleached by the sun’s powerful rays.

Another factor is that sunlight — or artificial lighting, for that matter — brightens any room, revealing the spaces that need additional cleaning. When there isn’t much light, corners remain dark, shadows can hide how clean a room is, and it’s practically impossible to tell if an area is clean or not.

House Cleaning Boca Raton — The Clutter Effect

Another factor that can determine how clean a room looks is how much clutter it contains.

Rooms that are overfilled with furniture, have piles and piles of clutter, and are packed with other debris are practically impossible to make look clean. Even if our professional house cleaners scrub every square inch of a cluttered room, it’s not going to look neat and sanitary.

As a rule of thumb, the more light a room has and the fewer contents it contains, the cleaner it will look. Rooms with a lot of sunshine and not very much furniture will always look cleaner than dark rooms that are filled with furniture and other contents.
