Once a month cleaning plan

In every house there are things that require monthly cleaning, and we often ignore this fact. Now we will highlight some of the nuances that should be paid attention at least once a month.

Things that need a monthly cleaning:

1. In the first place is the desktop. This item should be washed thoroughly once a month, if you do not constantly spend your time at the computer. If you spend most of your time on office equipment, including lunch, then you should pay more attention to the desktop. The keyboard must be completely cleaned from small debris.
2. The place where the cutlery is. It can be a box or a special stand. Due to the fact that you put appliances with a small amount of moisture in the designated place, over time microbes, fungus and mold can multiply in it. We advise once a month to thoroughly rinse all forks, spoons, and so on, and to disinfect the box itself and wipe it dry.
3. When planning an apartment cleaning once a month, you should pay attention to the refrigerator. Despite the fact that the manufacturers of this unit claim that it should be washed once a year, we recommend wiping all trays, ice and water forms, and containers for storing vegetables once a month. In this case, you will save yourself from harmful microbes that can harm your body.

Above, we talked about a plan for cleaning the house for every day, on the weekend and once a month. However, let's take a closer look at cleaning each part of the house and what nuances are worth paying attention to. From this moment on, the whole process of perfect cleanliness will not cause you so much trouble!

3. Then start cleaning in your closet. In this case, there is a very good rule of four containers. Its essence lies in the fact that you divide all things into four “heaps” - to store, throw away, give, use. When cleaning in the master bedroom, only those things that fall into the “store” category should be put in the closet. It’s worth getting rid of everyone else.

Important! We strongly recommend that you do not store items from past seasons that you did not wear and hope to wear in the future. As practice shows, you will no longer wear these clothes, and it only takes a place that can serve you good.

Most of these things can simply be thrown away. During the general cleaning in the master bedroom, you always get a lot of garbage, things and various items that need to be thrown out but on a simple day you could not decide on it.
