At this time of year everyone's thoughts turn to the kids going back to school. I don't know about you, but no matter how old I get I always think of this time as the start of a new year. It is a new beginning and just like the kids have shiny new stationery and shoes, I think we should have shiny clean homes as well. With children in and out of the house all summer, it is easy to get a bit behind on the housework. This is why I would recommend a good clean at the start of the new academic year.
It won't be such a big job to get ready for guests at Christmas and also will you keep you busy if you are missing the little ones after the summer.
I suggest you plan ahead and think how gorgeous your house will look when you have finished. This gives you the motivation for a big clean!
Ensure you equip yourself properly - a tradesperson is only as good as her tools!
Have all the supplies ready - so make sure you have enough multi-surface cleaner, heavy duty degreaser and bleach at least.
Get rid of any clutter - you can't clean in a messy space. Either find a home for everything or dump it. This is a great tip for refreshing the home at the start of a new year.
Make it fun - turn the stereo up and grab that SuperMocio to use as a microphone.
Let me know how you get on - anyone who posts a picture of themselves singing/ dancing while they are cleaning will win some great Vileda goodies to help them keep going with the new term clean.
