Sometimes we can kid ourselves that we’re really cleaning our homes often enough, but there are some telltale signs that may point to an unclean, cluttered home, and if you can identify with any of the following 10 signs, then it could be that you need to spend more time cleaning your home, or should invest in a professional cleaner:
- Your laundry smells less than fresh
Piles of unclean laundry will quickly make your laundry room smell anything less than fresh, and if yours makes you take a step back every time you enter it, it could be that you need to address your laundry concerns a little more frequently.
- Your toilet has a permanent ring around the inside
If your toilet has begun to develop a dirty looking ring around its interior, then you’re definitely not cleaning it often enough. If you’re not cleaning your toilet often enough, then it could be that that you’re not cleaning the rest of your home often enough either.
- Your floors are always grubby
One of the first things a visitor to your home will notice, are dirty floors, and if you frequently allow outside shoes to be worn inside your home, then you’ll need to clean them more often. Same applies if you have pets, but all floors get grubby over time, so vacuuming and cleaning them regularly is a must for a truly clean home.
- Your junk drawer is fit to bursting
This is a clear sign that you need to declutter your home, and while it may be spotlessly clean, clutter will quickly make it look unclean and unloved.
- Your dish washing sponge smells
This is either because it hasn’t been changed often enough, or it is smelling musty and gross because you don’t use it often enough! Either are not good.
- Walking barefoot in your home means your soles will be dirty
If you walk around barefoot and then inspect the soles of your feet afterwards to find them covered in dust, dirt and general detritus, then you definitely need to clean your floors more often.
- Your bathroom grout has changed color
Bathrooms can get really grimy, really quickly, especially when they’re unventilated or used frequently by multiple persons, and if you don’t clean them often enough, you’ll undoubtedly see the grouting begin to change color.
- Your trash can’s always overflowing
Taking the trash out isn’t a task most of us relish, but don’t do it often enough and not only will your trash can begin to overflow, but the stench will quickly permeate the rest of your home.
One way of ensuring that you never see any of these signs in your home, is by hiring a professional cleaning service, who will help you keep your home spotlessly clean.
