Keeping Your Jamaica Rental Home Tidy All Year Round

Young woman vacuuming the living room at home.As a tenant, maintaining the cleanliness of your rental home in Jamaica all year might be a difficult task. Yet, with a couple of simple and practical tips from the cleaning professionals at Molly Maid, you can turn this issue into a doable habit. Equipped with the correct tools and information, you have the power to make your home tidier and cleaner all year round without feeling burdened!

1. Declutter various rooms often

One of the initial actions you can do to keep a house neat and tidy is to declutter each room on a regular basis. The experts recommend using a cleaning chart or schedule to stay on track and repeat the same actions each time to ensure that everything is put in its proper place.

This could entail sorting items into ‘keep,’ ‘donate,’ and ‘throw-away’ piles and creating storage solutions for goods you wish to keep but don’t use frequently.

One method to reduce clutter is to organize clothes, shoes, and gear by season and keep what isn’t in use in the attic or basement. For example, in the summer, you could store your winter coats, boots, and heavy blankets. In the winter, you could store your summer clothes and beach gear.

2. Break up the workload

Another wonderful suggestion is to divide your large cleaning tasks into smaller, easier-to-handle ones. Molly Maid recommends taking the ‘divide and conquer’ approach, which involves starting with the front of the house and cleaning a different room each day of the week.

For example, on Mondays, concentrate on the living room; on Tuesdays, clean the kitchen, and so forth. In this manner, you won’t be overwhelmed by cleaning the whole house in one sitting.

By dividing your cleaning tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly activities, you can make your house cleaning more efficient and less laborious. This technique not only helps you maintain a clean and tidy home but also frees up your time for other chores. Therefore, get motivated and begin completing those tasks!

3. Prevent dust from collecting

Professionals also advised cleaning smarter, not harder. This entails identifying efficient ways to clean that save you time and effort. For instance, keeping your home free of dust may appear to be a hopeless struggle, but there are steps you can take to prevent it from accumulating as quickly.

For example, changing your furnace’s air filter more frequently can help trap dust and keep it off your furniture. In addition, as a bonus, utilizing dryer sheets to wipe down window blinds and baseboards will help repel dust while leaving a pleasant odor.

4. Don’t forget the details

In the same way, cleaning glass and mirrors with newspapers rather than paper towels saves time and effort. Newspapers leave no streaks or lint behind, so they shine in considerably less time. And how can you get your stainless-steel appliances spotless? A small amount of baby oil on a microfiber cloth. The oil removes all smudges, leaving a smooth, uniform finish behind.

Flooring is often cleaned before a tenant moves in, but having it professionally cleaned at least once a year keeps it in great shape and keeps the home looking and smelling its best. Learning the secrets of the trade can help make your cleaning tasks go faster, giving you more time for other activities.
