Everyone knows the spring cleaning as a big cleaning. However, it is wise to perform a thorough cleaning at least twice a year. October is the ideal month for autumn cleaning. Here are some tips for the big autumn cleaning.
Cleaning the kitchen every now and then is a must to prevent germs and keep fat under control. It also makes everything smell fresher and look brighter. Apart from regular maintenance, now is the time to tackle the kitchen thoroughly.
Gas stove and oven – Nobody likes to clean the gas stove and oven, but it is unavoidable. If you want to do this quickly and easily, you can use the HG oven &grill renewal kit, which effectively soaks off even the most stubborn burnt-on residues. This unique gel formula has been specially developed for being able to work for a long time, without drying, on vertical surfaces. You can also use the renewal kit for the barbecue, so that you can barbecue immediately on the first nice days in spring.
Refrigerator – Remove everything from the refrigerator, as well as the shelves, racks, bins and drawers, and clean the inside thoroughly with an antibacterial cleaner. Don't forget the doors. Take out the vacuum cleaner and suck out all the dust on the grid at the back of your fridge. You can also defrost the freezer if necessary. Before you put everything back, check that the products have not expired.
If you think that the windows don't need to be cleaned for the winter because they get dirty anyway, you're wrong. Use collected rainwater if available. This contains less lime and minerals and ensures that the windows get through the winter well.
Speaking of lime, fall cleaning is a great time to descale your home appliances. Think of the kettle, coffee maker and washing machine. As a result, devices continue to work well and last longer. What you should not forget during descaling are the shower cubicles, washbasins, taps, shower heads and counter tops. Do you have stubborn attacks because you don't do it very often? Then use the HG scale away foam spray 3x stronger. It has been specially developed to thoroughly and quickly remove very stubborn limescale. A radiant shine remains after use.
If you vacuum your home regularly but neglect the nooks and crannies behind and under the furniture, it's time to change that with the fall cleaning. A lot of dust collects in these places all year round, which then slowly spreads throughout the house or apartment.
Autumn is spider season. Even if the cobwebs contribute a bit to the Halloween atmosphere, they should be removed so that the spiders don't find your house too cozy. Don't forget the cobwebs behind curtain rods and in the corners of the room, on closet surfaces and door frames.
Everyone has a vacuum cleaner – but how do you clean sensitive floors such as parquet and laminate? In the fall, when we get home, we inevitably make sure that the dirt settles in the sensitive wooden floor. But cats and dogs also like to leave their paw prints on the floor. So mop the floor thoroughly. A little tip for the wet season:the wetter and dirtier it gets outside, the better you need to protect your home against it. Shoe scrapers and mats in front and behind the door help.
The bathroom and toilet should be cleaned at least once a week – even though this cleaning is one of the most unpopular household tasks. In terms of thoroughness in the bathroom, autumn cleaning should go one step further. Autumn cleaning also includes descaling the shower head, as we wrote above. Speaking of limescale:the solution after showering against limescale stains is to thoroughly dry the tap, wall and floor after showering.
Finally, we will tell you how new home decoration makes your home more attractive. This makes your autumn cleaning really come into its own. Warm colors go well with the house in autumn and winter. A winter decoration of wood and candles and beautiful new decorative cushions make it more homely and cosy. Pumpkins, chestnuts and flowers also provide an autumn atmosphere. Sometimes small changes are enough to create a new sense of life.
