  1. This is what my mom always tells us to do. We used to hate doing all of those things when we were kids, but now that we’re adults, we understand why she had to do that 🙂

  2. Thank you for mentioning that toilets and bathrooms need daily cleaning. Many people really don’t do this, but only because they’re sure that cleaning once a week is enough. Generally, all rooms with high humidity require special attention as there as more risks of reproduction of harmful bacteria.

  3. Another thing you should do to feel like your home is clean is to clean HVAC filters regularly. How often do you do this?
    Many people forget about it. As a result, their furniture and textiles quickly gather dust and require frequent wet cleaning. Moreover, they inhale this dust, which is bad for their health. Don’t forget to clean the air conditioner and furnace filters at least every three months.

  4. Thank you! Another part of the work you should regularly do is cleaning out the condensate drain channels of your air conditioner. If these become clogged, the unit won’t remove humidity, leading to extra moisture in the home. The extra humidity can also lead to the discoloration of furniture and walls and can aid in the growth of mold and mildew.
