September is synonymous with returning to work and everyday routines. It is a time to take stock and start afresh, and there is nothing better than returning to your usual habits with everything fresh and organized. Since organizing the home is one of the essential steps for getting off to a good start, today we bring you 6 tips for taking care of your space after your summer holiday.
-
Keep the windows open and let the house air out
This is one of the first steps to making the house feel lighter. When you return from holiday and start putting everything in order, take the opportunity to keep the windows open for long periods. As well as eliminating any unpleasant smells, this helps renew the air and creates a healthier environment.
-
Wash clothes, rugs and curtains
With its sunshine and mild temperatures, September is perfect for washing and airing clothes and other household textiles. Freshen up rugs and curtains, duvets and cushions. When you put everything back in its place, you will notice a fresher atmosphere and that lovely freshly washed scent!
-
Organize compartments and cupboards
With the house open and fewer textiles around, take the opportunity to do those organizing jobs you have been putting off for months: give the kitchen counter a new lease of life by reorganizing accessories and utensils, clean the refrigerator, or tidy up drawers and cupboards.
-
Do a deeper clean
Even if the house is cleaned every week, it is true that these cleaning sessions can sometimes be more superficial than we would like. After returning from holiday with renewed energy, you will be ready for a deeper clean.
Start with the walls, windows and other hard-to-reach areas or objects. Remove dust and other types of dirt, choosing the most suitable accessories and cleaning products for each surface and the desired result.
Next, vacuum the floor, for example, with the FLAMA 1676FL vacuum cleaner: with 205W of suction power, a parquet brush and a telescopic attachment, it is the perfect ally for deep cleaning. This will remove dust and other impurities while helping to create a healthy, welcoming environment. Finish the task with a cloth or mop dampened with water and a suitable cleaning product.
-
Carry out minor repairs
Once everything is clean and tidy, take care of any small repairs that may be needed. Take the opportunity to varnish sun-damaged wood or rusty metal. You will see how these small repairs give the house a much more cared-for appearance!
-
Give your plants some attention
When you return from holiday, it is important to pay attention to the plants around your home. Check whether they need watering or fertilizing, or whether they should be moved to a spot with more or less sunlight. You can also remove any dry leaves or repot plants that need more space to grow. They will thank you!
