While spring cleaning usually gets all the attention, winter cleaning is just as important for maintaining a clean and healthy home environment. During the colder months, we tend to spend more time indoors, which means more dust and dirt can build up on floors, carpets, upholstery and more. Regular winter cleaning will not only help remove these allergens and potential bacteria but also create a more comfortable and inviting space for you and your family to enjoy.

Depending on your usual cleaning schedule, you might like to change things up during winter to keep your place spick and span. After all, you’ll probably be spending much more time inside than during summer. Only you know how to keep your house clean according to your lifestyle, so it pays to take some time to get it right. However, it is recommended to at least give things a tidy weekly, and to do deeper clean every couple of weeks!

• Frequently vacuum areas with high foot traffic, like your entry, hallways and living room.

• Use attachments to clean corners and upholstery.

• Pay special attention to underneath your furniture and around skirting.

• Dust all surfaces, including shelves and light fixtures.

  • Don’t forget to dust your fan blades and air/heating vents.

• Use a microfibre cloth for better results.

• Sweep and mop hard floors to remove dirt and grime.

• Use a steam cleaner to refresh hard floors and tiles (including grout).

• Deep-clean carpets with a carpet cleaner to remove any dirt and stains that have become ingrained.

• Use winter as an excuse to clean your main appliances inside and out, including the fridge, oven and microwave.

• Wipe down countertops, cabinets and backsplashes regularly.

• Clean and store away your outdoor furniture and cushions.

• Clean gutters to prevent clogging.

This is also a good time to check whether your cleaning tools still meet your needs. If not, it might be worth investing in new products that will make seasonal cleaning a breeze.

You already know how to use a vacuum cleaner, but have you invested in a reliable one? The Miele Blizzard Vacuum Cleaner, for example, will keep your floors free from dust, pet hair, dirt and all sorts of other things all year long. Be sure to vacuum high-traffic areas and carpets regularly to keep your home clean.

For a deeper clean, consider whether a steam cleaner like the Shark Steam & Scrub Mop could help sanitise your floors to perfection. The power of steam helps to break down dirt and grime without using harsh chemicals. Plus, it’ll leave your floors looking sparkling clean and germ-free!

Keep your carpets looking like new with a powerful carpet cleaner like the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. Regular deep cleaning helps remove embedded stains and smells, extending your carpet’s life.

In addition to using the right cleaning equipment, there are plenty of winter cleaning hacks out there to help you save time and effort – while at the same time keeping your home spotless. Here are a few tips to try:

• Use dryer sheets to dust skirting boards and furniture.

• Clean your ceiling fans with a pillowcase to trap dust and stop it from falling onto your floor and furniture.

• Spritz furniture and curtains with a mixture of water and fabric softener, then let them air dry. This mixture can help repel dust.
