Advanced Cleaning for Your Furnished Independent House: Deep Clean Every Nook and Cranny

Living in a spacious furnished house offers a sense of comfort, but it also requires a deeper clean occasionally. Here's a guide for a more advanced cleaning session in your furnished haven, ensuring every corner sparkles:

Deep Cleaning Focus:

Floors:

Hard floors: For a deeper clean on hard floors like tile, wood, or laminate, consider using a floor cleaning solution specifically designed for the floor type. Follow the dilution instructions on the product label. Tip: Rent a floor steamer for a more thorough clean, especially for greasy spots or stuck-on grime in kitchens and bathrooms.

Carpets and rugs: For deep carpet cleaning, consider professional carpet shampooing, especially for heavily soiled areas or if there are pet stains or odors. You can also rent a carpet cleaner for a more thorough clean at home (if allowed by your lease agreement).

Kitchen Deep Clean:

Oven scrubbing: Apply a commercial oven cleaner (following safety instructions strictly) and let it sit to loosen tough baked-on grease. Scrub thoroughly using a non-abrasive sponge or oven mitts for protection. Tip: Disassemble oven racks if possible for a more detailed cleaning.

Exhaust hood filters: Clean or replace the exhaust hood filters, depending on the type. This improves ventilation and reduces grease buildup.

Inside cabinets: Wipe down the interior surfaces of cabinets to remove dust, crumbs, and spills. Tip: Line shelves with shelf liner to make future cleaning easier.

Bathroom Deep Clean:

Showerhead and faucets: Descale and clean showerheads and faucet aerators to remove mineral buildup and ensure proper water flow. Some showerheads might be detachable for easier cleaning.

Grout cleaning: For grimy grout lines in your bathroom tiles, use a grout cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply the solution, scrub with a grout brush, and rinse thoroughly.

Bathtub/shower enclosure: For soap scum and hard water stains, use a bathroom cleaner designed to tackle these issues. Follow the product instructions for application and rinsing.

Walls, Doors & Windows:

Walls: For dusty or marked walls, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution (check with your landlord for recommendations on cleaning products for the specific wall paint). Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals that might damage the paint.

Doors & windows: Clean doors and window frames with a suitable cleaning solution. Don't forget to clean the window tracks and sills to remove dust and grime buildup. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with a crevice attachment for detailed cleaning.

Furniture Deep Cleaning:

Upholstery: For a deeper clean, consider professional upholstery cleaning, especially for heavily used furniture. You can also rent a carpet cleaner for a more thorough clean at home (if allowed by your lease agreement) on fabric upholstery. Tip: Check furniture tags for cleaning instructions.

Wood furniture: Polish wood furniture with a suitable wood polish to restore shine and protect the surface. Tip: Dust thoroughly before applying polish.
Move furniture: When possible, move furniture to clean underneath and behind it. Vacuum or sweep these areas to remove dust and debris buildup.

Additional Tips for Advanced Cleaning:

Plan and schedule: Deep cleaning a house is more time-consuming than a basic cleaning routine. Plan a dedicated time for this task and ensure you have the necessary cleaning supplies.

Work from top to bottom: Start cleaning from high surfaces like shelves and cabinets and work your way down to the floor to avoid re-cleaning areas.

Open windows for ventilation: Maintain good air circulation while using cleaning products, especially in enclosed spaces like the bathroom.

Safety precautions: Wear gloves for protection when using harsh chemicals.

Consider professional help: For very deep cleaning, extensive carpet cleaning, or move-out cleaning, consider hiring a professional cleaning service.

Remember to check your lease agreement:  Some lease agreements might require professional cleaning, especially for deep cleaning services, before moving out.
