Keeping a Clean Apartment
Posted 11-03-2010 at 11:05 PM by RENTtucson.us
Apartment living is so convenient and a smaller environment has many advantages. One of these is that keeping it clean can be a snap.
Whether wall to wall or area carpets are installed, this will be the main source of lingering odors. To keep your carpets clean is primary when maintaining your apartment. Besides weekly vacuuming, you will want to steam clean your carpets quarterly, or use a spray-and-vacuum shampoo. Either method will remove unpleasant stains and odors.
Your apartment floors should be washed regularly. Hardwood flooring may require more care than vinyl or linoleum, but all floors should be swept before washing with a product designed for your type of flooring. Weekly or every other week should do, depending on what tracks in on your shoes.
Kitchen and bathroom are the top two rooms that have the most germs and require the most cleaning. Counter tops should be sanitized daily to protect yourself from passing germs around. The sinks and bathroom commode should be thoroughly cleaned with a disinfecting cleanser once each week. Keeping dishes and cookware put away will keep your kitchen looking spruce, and stowing personal products in cupboards and shelves will keep the bathroom more sanitary. Just a few good tips on keeping your Phoenix apartment ship shape.
Finally, your bedroom will be more restful if you make your bed daily. Shoes and clothing kept in closets and drawers will allow you to wash and vacuum more easily. Changing your sheets at least every other week will keep your room fresh.
