Areas throughout the home that we use all the time are those common-touch surfaces such as door knobs and handles, lamp and light switches, and switch plates.
Door knobs and handles provide a crucial safety security factor while additionally giving our home increased value and curb appeal through deliberate design choices.
Lamps and lights are a big part of our overall well-being, and provide our homes with illumination for visibility, key task lighting and ambience that ranges from the subtle and cozy to bright and lively.
Switch plates, those decorative covers that serve as a trusty parter to light switches throughout our home, further accentuate our home’s decor while also providing a key safety factor.
While each of these items all serve a very specific purpose within the home – in addition to contributing to our home’s decor – what these surfaces all have in common is that they’re also subject to fingerprints, dirt and germs that can be easily left behind.
A microfiber cloth is a great way to remove any bacteria and germs if there’s no visible gunk present on your switch plates. A Pro Tip is to fold the cloth into eighths so that you then have eight individual surfaces you can use as you clean. Simply fold the cloth in half, then in half and then in half again. Be sure to use a fresh surface with door knob and handle, every lamp, light switch and switch plate that you clean.
Another Pro Tip is to use a cotton swab on any light switch crevices to easily remove dirt. This handy essential is commonly thought of for our health and beauty needs but they’re also extremely useful for cleaning along detailed surfaces as well as within small nooks and crannies to get rid of dust and dirt.
By regularly cleaning the many high-touch areas throughout your home that are used on a daily basis, you’ll go a long way towards helping keep yourself and your space clean and healthy. Contact us today to discuss how our cleaning services can help!
