So it’s time to put the house in order. In order not to miss anything, plan your actions. The cleaning of the apartment is a very important thing, so it should be taken seriously.
Get rid of dust
Look into all the corners of each room, remove the accumulated dust, and also throw away everything useless: old newspapers, boxes, broken things. The apartment delivered from rubbish will immediately become more spacious and lighter. Wipe small items with a damp cloth – the most dust is collected on them. With the nozzle, sink upholstered furniture. But not velvet and plush upholstery – it should be wiped with a soft sponge moistened in warm water.
Refresh the floors
Linoleum must be washed twice: the first time with a means for washing floors or soap and the second – water to wash off the foam. Do not use soda or ammonia: it can cause fragility of the coating and even erase the pattern. When the linoleum dries, grease it with linen oil, and then wipe it with a soft flannel cloth. To clean the parquet use a special polish.
Remove the carpets
For the best result, it is necessary to vacuum carpets on both sides. Do not forget to rinse the floor under them. As an option, use a washing vacuum cleaner, just take care that the carpet is dry without absorbing dust again. To revive the coloring of the carpet, wipe it on the pile with a cloth moistened in an aqueous solution of ammonia or vinegar (2-3 tablespoons per 1 liter).
Make an audit in the cabinets
Put the covers on outer clothing, and process the cabinets with a means against moths (put lavender, geranium, dried orange crusts there).
Change the interior
I want updates? Try to change the interior: change things in places, move furniture, change the overall color scheme or focus on bright details (for example, a vase or lampage).
