As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to reset your home, clean out the clutter, freshen up your space, and make room for sunshine and lighter living. So, let’s get to dusting before we choose our curtains and sheets, and create a new space to beat the heat.
Declutter and Simplify for a Light, Breezy Summer Home
The first step towards a fresh summer home is to declutter. This summer, adopt the “less is more” attitude and clean up your interiors.
Start by switching out your storage. Replace the heavy bedding, coats, and boots with the summer essentials of linen, sandals, and lighter clothes. As we know, winter essentials are often bulky and require more storage space. Swapping out these bulky items creates more usable space and instantly makes your home feel lighter.
Remember that minimalism is the way to a light and breezy summer home. Keep only what you truly need, and donate or recycle the rest to keep your space breathable.
People often forget to declutter certain areas like linen closets or porch storage, so start from there and create space for the summer breeze.
Deep Clean High-Touch Zones Before the Heat Kicks In
During deep cleaning, focusing on the high-touch zones is crucial. It helps reduce the spread of germs by targeting the most frequently touched surfaces in your home.
What do we mean by high-touch zones?
Objects like doorknobs, the doorbell, and the chair handles are touched often by family members or guests. These areas are prone to excessive germ spread. Therefore, by aiming for these places, you can ensure good hygiene.
Places like bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways must be cleaned thoroughly as well. Also, focus on disinfecting remotes and fridge shelves, which may go unnoticed but are just as important to clean.
For an extra hand for your summer cleaning journey, use Vella recommended eco-safe product swaps, which allow a toxin-free finish, are ready at your service as well. You can start off with items from Branch Basics.
Green Cleaning for Seasonal Wellness
Summer, however, comes with its disadvantages too. Summer heat increases VOCs, which in turn may increase indoor air irritants, and therefore causes several health complications.
Rising temperatures can also make pollution worse. This is why it’s important to make home cleaning as eco-friendly as possible.
Vella’s eco-conscious methods include plant-based products and fragrance-free options, which allow you to be more mindful of the environment while having a cleaner and more sustainable home.
Using tools like reusable cloths, compostable sponges, and essential oil blends reduces waste and harm to the environment. You can also make your own DIY products with baking soda and vinegar for scrubbing.
If you are living in Texas, you can book Vella and let Vella take care of your summer cleaning. We have various cleaning options, including deep clean and basic clean.
Laundry Room & Linen Refresh: Don’t Forget the Fabrics
Heavier fabrics like spring blankets, coats, and rugs need extra care. Before storing them away, ensure that they are cleaned and stainless. For washing, opt for mild, eco-friendly detergents and gently treat stains before storing. Once cleaned and dried, store them away.
Here’s one simple hack to keep away dust and pests: use vacuum storage bags to store each comforter after neatly folding it.
Now to the summer essentials. It’s a similar use of mild detergents and washing and drying that will do the trick. Wash your guest linens, couch covers, and pet beds before using them for the summer.
Vinegar acts as a great cleaning agent while also eliminating any odours. With the addition of baking soda, you can scrub the stains away and have softened fabrics. A few drops of essential oil can leave your fabrics naturally fragrant without synthetic additives.
