Do these monthly cleaning tasks to keep on top of your home!
Most of us have the daily cleaning tasks done. We do a quick clean up such as tidying the lounge, putting away laundry, or washing the dishes. These cleaning tasks are easy to remember as you can readily see what needs to be done around the home. Yet, there are a few chores that you or your house cleaner should implement into your monthly cleaning schedule so they aren’t overlooked. These monthly tasks are a bit more intense than your daily ones. However, they can positively impact keeping your home clean and fresh throughout the year.
Dust Ceiling Fans
Dust can accumulate on the top of your ceiling fan without you knowing and spread into your room when you turn it on. Wipe your ceiling fans once a month to remove dust and allergens and keep your air cleaner. If you have an air conditioning unit or heat pump, be sure to vacuum the filters and wipe down the unit with a soft cloth.
Keep your light fixtures looking clean and bright by removing dust and bug excrement from the bulbs and shades. Be sure to clean any table and floor lamps throughout your home.

Wipe Air Vents
You may not often think about air vents. However, the ceiling and walls around it can quickly accumulate dust and cobwebs. An easy way to maintain their appearance and ensure they work efficiently is to give the vents a quick vacuum with the dust cup attachment.
Clean Your Walls
Whether you have young kids, pets or often entertain guests, marks can quickly appear on your walls and doors. Once a month, do a spot clean of any furniture scuffs, dust, or food splatters on your walls. If you have time, wipe the outside of your kitchen cupboards with warm soapy water or an all-purpose spray to remove any marks.
Refresh Your Kitchen Appliances
Cleaning kitchen appliances may seem like a big task, but if you’re checking them monthly, you’ll find less food and dust build-up to wipe away. Remove any food drips inside or on top of your oven, wipe the inside of your microwave, and give the outside of your kettle a clean. Empty your toaster of crumbs and wipe the outside to restore its appearance.
Vacuum Your Furniture
You probably always vacuum around and underneath your furniture, but don’t forget that your couch and chairs can also accumulate dust and debris. Have your domestic cleaner give your sofa a vacuum between the cushions and any other crevices to remove crumbs, dust, and dirt from your living room furniture.
Wash Windows
Keep the outside view looking stunning with clean windows. Start by wiping down the windowsills, clean out the tracks and give the inside of your windows a clean.
