It’s almost Halloween! What helps make this time of year so special is all the pumpkin-flavored sweets and creative costumes. You may be frightened to know that the most common items in your home are actually crawling with dirt. The good news is that with some cleaning and help from Chem-Dry of Acadiana, you can get rid of them from your home.
1. Door Knobs
You and your family touch doorknobs multiple times a day, so it’s no wonder why they get so dirty! Dirt can stay on these metal surfaces for hours, so it’s important to clean your doorknobs every few days.
2. Area Rugs
While vacuuming your rugs once or twice a week helps keep the plushness and freshness of your rugs, your rugs need to be professionally cleaned to extract all the dirt and dust embedded in the rug fibers. Our team at Chem-Dry of Acadiana can perform a thorough evaluation of your rug and then deep clean your rugs in the Acadiana and greater Baton Rouge areas.
3. Trash Cans
Your trash can is inevitably one of the dirtiest items in your home — it does hold all of your trash! Every month, wipe down the inside and outside of your trash can to keep it free from dirt. Be sure to use high-quality trash can liners or bags that effectively contain liquids and other materials that may spill.
4. Countertops
The granite, marble, or tile countertops in your kitchen or bathroom may appear to stay clean with simple weekly wiping down. The best way to effectively deep-clean your granite, marble, or is to have an expert clean it with their powerful equipment. At Chem-Dry of Acadiana, we have a team of trained and knowledgeable technicians that can perform any tile, granite, or marble countertop cleaning.
5. Cell Phones & Electronics
Did you know that your phone is likely the dirtiest item in your home? Make sure you regularly wipe down your phone and other devices (remotes, game controllers, keyboards, etc.) with a cleaning wipe.
