As June kicks off the start of summer, so do longer days, higher temperatures, and more time spent at home with the family. While summer brings plenty of sunshine and fun, it also comes with its own set of cleaning challenges, like humidity, odors, and messes from constant activity. Adjusting your cleaning routine now can help you maintain a fresh, cool, and comfortable home all season long.
At Carvalho’s Cleaning, we’re here to help you keep your space sparkling clean this summer, whether you’re juggling kids on break, entertaining guests, or heading out on vacation.
Summer Cleaning Challenges to Watch Out For
Summer introduces a few unique cleaning issues that can make your home feel less than fresh:
- Humidity increases moisture in the air, leading to musty odors and even mold in bathrooms or laundry areas.
- Sticky Surfaces are more common thanks to heat, spills, and outdoor activity.
- Odors from trash, food prep, and pets can linger more in warmer conditions.
Staying on top of these challenges helps prevent buildup and keeps your home cool and welcoming.
Tips to Keep Your Home Fresh and Comfortable
-
Control Humidity
- Use dehumidifiers in damp-prone areas like bathrooms and basements.
- Keep fans and vents clean to help improve air circulation.
-
Refresh Fabrics
- Wash bedding, curtains, and cushion covers regularly to remove sweat, dust, and allergens.
- Use light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to keep rooms feeling airy.
-
Stay on Top of the Kitchen
- Summer cooking (and snacking) leads to more mess. Wipe down counters daily, empty trash frequently, and clean out the fridge weekly to avoid odors.
-
Tackle High-Traffic Areas Often
- With kids home from school, floors can get dirty fast. Vacuum or sweep regularly and consider placing doormats at entrances to catch dirt before it spreads.
-
Keep the Air Fresh
- Open windows in the morning or evening to let in fresh air.
- Simmer lemon slices and herbs, or use natural sprays to add a clean summer scent.
