Summer is all about sunshine, beach trips, and outdoor adventures, but it also comes with a downside — dust and sand invading your home! Whether it’s fine sand sneaking in from your beach days or dry summer air stirring up dust, keeping your space clean can feel like an uphill battle. But don’t worry, with these summer cleaning tips, you can enjoy the season without turning your home into a sand dune.
1. Stop the sand at the door.
The best way to keep sand out is to prevent it from getting inside in the first place. Place doormats at all entrances and encourage family members to wipe their feet or rinse off sandy shoes before stepping inside. Keep a small brush or a bucket of water outside so sandy feet get cleaned before they cross the threshold.
2. Sweep & vacuum frequently.
Sand and dust have a sneaky way of accumulating in corners and under furniture. Vacuum high-traffic areas daily to prevent buildup, especially if you have carpets or rugs. Hardwood and tiled floors also benefit from a quick sweep with a microfibre broom, which traps dust rather than spreading it around. Need an extra hand? Sweepsouth’s cleaning service can take care of all your summer cleaning needs, so you can spend more time enjoying the sunshine.
3. Keep windows & blind dust-free.
Summer breezes are refreshing, but they also bring in a layer of dust. Clean your windows, sills, and blinds regularly to prevent dirt from settling. A damp microfiber cloth works wonders for wiping down blinds, while a vinegar-and-water solution is perfect for streak-free windows. If window cleaning isn’t your forte, book a SweepStar to handle the task with expert care.
4. Wash beach towels & linen often.
Sand likes to cling to towels, bedding, and even curtains. Make it a habit to shake out and wash beach towels as soon as you return home. If you have light summer curtains, consider washing them at least once a month to prevent dust buildup. A deep clean of your upholstery and soft furnishings can also work wonders in keeping your home fresh.
5. Mop & dust with the right tools.
Dry summer air makes dust particles settle on furniture and floors faster than usual. Instead of using a traditional feather duster, which can spread dust, opt for microfibre cloths and mops that trap particles effectively. Mopping floors weekly with a damp mop also keeps them sand-free. Want a thorough deep clean? Book a Sweepsouth service and let the pros tackle every nook and cranny.
