The WoW Style

Summer is upon us, which means the weather is becoming warmer, schools are about to close, and holidays are pending. So, you are probably thinking of clearing your home for summer. This article aims to give you some helpful tips so that you can clear your home well.

1. Hire professionals to help you remove your rubbish

If you have a lot of rubbish or junk at your house, it is probably a good idea to hire professional rubbish removing services such as those provided by Junk Taxi, which can be found at junktaxi.co.uk. Whether the junk you are removing is household rubbish, domestic appliances (e.g., washing machines, fridges, microwaves etc.), individual items (e.g., a wardrobe), green waste, furniture or even plumbing fixtures, these professionals are able to remove them from your home in a quick and efficient manner. 

2. Clean easy-to-forget places

It is very easy to overlook and forget to clean certain areas of your home, such as the gutters and mattresses. So be careful not to forget to clean them. Since it is summer and the weather is warmer, it is more likely that sweat will infiltrate and seep into mattresses, which could make them smell. So, if there is any time to clean your mattress, it is definitely summertime. If you plan on having guests over, you want to ensure your house is the cleanest it can possibly be, so, vacuum and thoroughly clean all mattresses and clean out the gutters. 

3. Use natural ingredients such as lemons to clean

Another helpful and arguably unusual tip is to use lemons to clean. There are many benefits to using lemon as a cleaner, some of which include the fact that:

• Lemon has antibacterial and antiseptic properties due to the acid that it contains. Therefore, lemon acts as a natural bleach.
• Lemon has a lovely citrus smell, which will make the places you clean smell refreshing. (e.g., surfaces and tabletops).
• Lemon rinds contain oils that can give surfaces a shine and clean. 
• Lemons are relatively inexpensive.

So, if you have any spare lemons in your kitchen, try using them to clean. Lemons can be used to clean lots of things including pots, pans, countertops and even drains. 

4. Prepare your outdoor space

When the sun is shining outside and the weather is beautiful, you are most likely going to want to spend as much time outdoors as you possibly can. So, do not forget to prepare your outdoor space if you have it. You may wish to go above and beyond the simple task of cleaning, and endeavor to make the outdoor space even more cozier and inviting for yourself and guests. To do this, you could: 

• Add elements of nature – for example, you could add some flowerpots, garden beds or cute plants into your garden space.
• Add comfort and style – you could add patio umbrellas if the space is large enough or even a sofa and rugs. 
• Add small, personal touches – this can be anything from blankets, small pillows to bookshelves and mirrors.
