Living Room Refresh with Deep Cleaning Tips
Your living room is the center of your home, the place you come to unwind, to welcome guests, bring the family together, and spend quality time. However, the kitchen is also the place where clutter, dust, and grime can creep up on you if we are honest about it. Adding a new layer of life, character, or quality to your living room is all but impractical. Just if your living room needs some tender loving care, however extreme!! Use these simple deep cleaning tips to get your place feeling fresh, welcoming, and oh-so-homely in no time.
Start with Decluttering
Tackle the clutter before jumping into the cleaning. Survey your surroundings: pick up those aged magazines, odd toys, or items that don’t belong in the living room. Utilize baskets or bins to separate them into keep, donate, or toss piles. Removing clutter alone will instantly make the room look more airy and tidy, and will feel like a true relief as soon as you do.
Dust Everything (Yes, Everything!)
Let’s start from the top. Grab a duster or a microfiber cloth and dust your ceiling fan, light fixtures, and those pesky corners. Next up: Bookcases, picture frames, and decor pieces. Visitors will inevitably track in dust, so start at the top and work your way down to prevent doubling your work. Trust me, it pays off when your room shines like a new pin.
Give Your Furniture Some Love
Your couch and chairs have a lot of action, so don’t leave them out. If the cushion covers are machine washing, remove those and put them in the washing machine. For the cushions themselves, vacuum to remove crumbs and dust. Got stains? This is where a fabric cleaner shines. Tip: Run all the couch pillows through the dryer to provide them with a more recharged look and quality.
Update The Curtains And The Blinds
Another thing that’s often forgotten are the curtains and blinds, but they’re bloody dust traps. In the event your curtains are machine washable, toss them in the machine. For blinds, you can use a microfiber cloth or a blind duster. Not only will this step lighten up your windows but also eliminate allergens from the room.
Tackle the Floors
That reminder not to forget what’s underneath the feet Dermatologist Susan Van Dyke says to keep rugs and carpets clean, too, so go over them with a vacuum, especially in high-traffic areas. These simply remove ground dirt from the fibers of your carpet but for more comprehensive cleaning hire a carpet cleaner or a steam cleaner. Hardwood floors? Sweep, mop, and might even buff them up to make them shine. You might not realize it until you clean it, but it makes a world of difference.
Dust Walls and Skirting Boards
Its amazing how much dirt you can have stuck up against your walls and baseboards. Wipe them down with a wet cloth and a mild detergent. With this step, the room becomes alive instantly — and this is quite an easy one! Also remember all of those corners that dust bunnies like to dwell in!
Shine Up the Surfaces
We have all held up during illness and did our best impersonation of a role model, but now your coffee table, end tables, and other hard surfaces need to feel the love. Use appropriate cleaner for the material — wood polish for wood furniture and a mild glass cleaner for glass. Do NOT leave this step — shiny surfaces always gorgeous a room.
Refresh Your Decor
Pause and recharge the little things Duster your vases, and wipe all the elements of decoration and mirrors For house plants, wipe their leaves clean to allow them to breathe (and look super glam). Replacing used candles or including a new decor item brings freshness to the space.
Don’t Forget the Windows
Last but not least, dirty glasses can kill your living room vibe. If you can, use a streak-free glass cleaner and do so on the inside and outside. Also while you are at it, clean the window frames and the tracks. Light from the sun streaming through clean clear glass? Instant mood booster.
Reorganize Your Shelves
Over time, bookshelves and display units can begin to look cluttered. Empty remove, hoover the shelves, and re-organise. For a designer look, try to stack books by size or color! Avoid clutter, keep it straightforward. A neatly arranged rack gives the room a sophisticated look.
Add the Final Touches
