10 Expert Cleaning Tips for a Healthier Home

At Corazon Deluxe Cleaning Services, we believe a clean home is more than just spotless floors and shining windows - it’s a foundation for a healthier, happier life. Whether you’re deep cleaning your space or looking for simple ways to keep your home fresh between professional visits, these expert tips will help you breathe easier and live better.

1. Start with High-Touch Surfaces

Doorknobs, light switches, remotes, and faucet handles are hotspots for germs. Wipe them down daily with disinfectant wipes or a mix of water and vinegar to reduce bacteria buildup.

2. Switch to Microfiber Cloths

Microfiber traps dust, allergens, and bacteria far more effectively than traditional rags or paper towels. It’s reusable, eco-friendly, and gentle on surfaces - perfect for maintaining a polished home.

3. Use Natural Cleaners When Possible

Reduce exposure to harsh chemicals by using baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice for everyday cleaning. These natural agents are tough on grime but safe for kids, pets, and the environment.

4. Don’t Forget Air Vents and Filters

Dust and allergens can linger in your HVAC system. Replace filters every 1-3 months and vacuum vents regularly to improve air quality and reduce respiratory issues.

5. Vacuum with a HEPA Filter

If you have pets or allergies, a vacuum with a HEPA filter is a must. It captures microscopic particles that standard vacuums often miss-making your floors and air much cleaner.

6. Declutter Before You Clean

Tidy surfaces make cleaning faster and more efficient. A clutter-free space also reduces dust accumulation and helps you maintain a more organized home.

7. Sanitize Your Sponges

Sponges can harbor harmful bacteria. Microwave your damp sponge for 1 minute or run it through the dishwasher daily to keep it safe for kitchen use.

8. Wash Bedding Weekly

Your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets collect sweat, dead skin cells, and dust mites. Wash them in hot water at least once a week to maintain a healthy sleeping environment.

9. Keep a Shoe-Free Home

Shoes track in dirt, bacteria, and toxins. Set up a shoe rack near the entrance and encourage family and guests to remove their shoes to protect your floors—and your health.

10. Schedule Regular Deep Cleans

While daily and weekly cleaning helps, some areas need professional attention. At Corazon Deluxe Cleaning Services, we offer deep cleaning, move-out cleaning, post-construction cleaning, and Airbnb cleaning throughout Monterey County. Let us handle the tough stuff while you enjoy a fresh, healthy home.
