Easy House Cleaning Tips to Welcome Diwali

Below are some tips to clean your homes as Diwali is around the corner. So don’t fret the solution is here.

Start cleaning early

Cleaning of entire house is not an easy task. It’s not about cleaning of just one part. We are talking about cleaning of entire house; from kitchen to bedroom, living room to puja room. One of the easiest ways to get it right without getting tired is to divide your work in 2 to 3 different sessions. Like bathroom can be cleaned one day and kitchen the other day. Bedroom and living area can be cleaned in one day and you can give final touches to overall cleaning on another day. Make a schedule as per your convenient.

Wardrobe

Start with cleaning your wardrobes. Vacate it properly and then start cleaning your wardrobe. Change the paper or cloth if you have one on racks. Fold all of the clothes properly and arrange them in good order. If you come across old clothes that you have not used and you think you may not use them in future, you can simply donate it to someone who needs them. There are various NGOs working for underprivileged Childs, call them and they can collect and distribute it.

Cleaning the boxes of the bed

Similar to the way you cleaned your wardrobe, you can clean the boxes of the bed (Deewan as we call them). You should not use detergent etc to clean the box, but you can certainly use dry cloth to clean it. Usually we store blankets etc in the box bed and if that’s the case, it may be a good time to let that blanket dry in sunlight.

Cleaning the kitchen

Cleaning of kitchen is not all that hard because most of the stuff in your kitchen can be cleaned using the detergents and cleansers. Start by cleaning the racks and boxes inside the kitchen, followed by kitchen ware, dishes, bowls and everything else.

In order to clean walls, you may use detergent to clean the tiles or you can make your own cleanser. You can make my own cleanser to clean the tiles and table tops. Mix equal Vinegar and soap water in equal quantity to make your own cleanser.
