Diwali 2024 Bedroom Cleaning
As you start cleaning your home, the first step is clearing junk out of your bedrooms. For this, you have to organise all the cupboards and shelves in your bedrooms, wash all the fabrics like pillows, pillow covers, cushions, cushion covers, curtains, duvets, rugs, bedspreads, etc., use disinfectant and a cloth or newspaper to clean all the surfaces, get rid of everything that you don’t see yourself in the next year, and use naphthalene or camphor balls to keep bugs and ticks away. Also, you can keep the pillows, mattresses, and cushion fillers out in the sun for a day to get rid of dust mites that may be there.
While people usually opt for repainting their houses around this time of the year, if you don’t want to go through that much hassle, make sure to clean the walls thoroughly and remove any spider webs that might be ruining your home’s looks from the dusty corners.
Diwali 2024 Living Room Cleaning
Decluttering the living room is one of the crucial steps for making your home festive-ready. Put all the toys, extra books, video games, papers lying around, etc., from the living room someplace else. Use a vacuum or a cleaning cloth for lamps, fans, decorative items, etc. For reflecting surfaces like TV screens, coffee tables, and mirrors, you can use a damp cloth.
