CORONAVIRUS: Things to Deep Clean During Self-Quarantine

At this point in the coronavirus saga, it’s best for us all to self-quarantine ourselves as much as possible to stay safe and healthy. Among all of the jigsaw puzzles and TV show-binging, dedicating some time to deep cleaning is a great way to get your energy out while also gaining some peace of mind. Check out our top things to deep clean during your self-quarantine!

Closets

Whether it’s your child’s closet of toys that they’ve outgrown or the hallway linen closet stuffed with everything but linens, this could be the perfect time to go through and make some adjustments to your inventory. Donate or store items that your children have outgrown or that they haven’t played with in the last six months. Create designated shelves and bins in the linen closet for what you’re storing, such as games, lightbulbs, craft supplies, and yes, even linens.

Washing Machine

When it comes to household items needing regular maintenance, your washing machine is one that you definitely don’t want to overlook. Odor-inducing residue builds up in your machine over time, and staying ahead of it will keep your washing machine, laundry room, and laundry smelling clean and fresh. OdorCrush washing machine cleaning tablets are easy to use and guarantee a fresh scent. Washing machine problems are definitely not something you want to deal with during your self-quarantine, so stay a step ahead!

Junk Drawer

You know what I’m talking about. That catch-all drawer in the kitchen where all of the bobby pins, dried out pens, sticky notes, used batteries, game pieces, and everything else that you just don’t want to put away when you initially find it, ends up. Snag some bins or drawer organizers and decide what you want to keep in the drawer and what needs a new home. What are the items that you find yourself consistently needing while in the hub of your home? Keep those near and get rid of the rest.

Refrigerator

Keeping your fridge clean and organized is crucial to your health and your sanity. Especially in quarantine when you’re wanting to keep a well-stocked kitchen and make the most out of your inventory, it’s important to maintain cleanliness and order in your refrigerator. Remove all of the food from your refrigerator, followed by the shelves and drawers. Clean the inside while the shelves and drawers are soaking in hot, soapy water. When you put everything back, make sure the items that are closest to their expiration date are near the front so that nothing gets forgotten and goes bad before you’re able to use it.

So whether you’re breaking out the disinfecting wipes or reorganizing and making a pile of items to donate once the quarantine has ended, we’re sure that dedicating time to cleaning your home will provide significant peace of mind. Choose a task and dedicate time to get it done- happy cleaning!
