Sparkle and Brighten your Home: Easy Cleaning Tips for Diwali House Cleaning



It’s that time of the year when we would start cleaning our homes to ready it for Diwali. Call it ‘the Diwali house cleaning ritual’; you would invariably start doing it days in advance.’ Like it or not, you would definitely hate to see a drab looking home during the festival; however, the cleaning spree is easy said than done.

Gone are the days, when we had ample time and helping hands to assist us during those rigorous cleaning activities. With more and more nuclear families coming into existence, the lady of the house is left with just one source for her help – the house maid. Despite the personnel challenges and paucity of time, one could still achieve best results by following a few easy tips on cleaning which we would love to call as ‘Smart and Swift Sprucing.’

Take a look at a few simple tips:

Start with wardrobes & closets: They need to be your foremost target. Throw away all those old, torn and dull looking clothes. Never get attached to your clothes and store them which simply add up to the clutter.

Ceiling to Floor Approach: It is always best advised to start the cleaning from the ceiling and gradually move down towards the floor. Always ensure you clean the fans and lights with dry cloth to avoid electric s shocks.

Windows & grills: Next in-line of cleaning would be the windows and grills. Use a soapy solution for the first round of cleaning, followed by dry cloth to make the window panes shine.

Dust the furniture & artefacts: Dust and wipe all the furniture, artefacts, decorative items, and all-and-sundry that make up your home.

Curtains, Cushion & sofa covers: Remove all the curtains, cushion and sofa covers to replace them later with fresh and vibrant ones for the festival.

Floor & carpet: The last one in the list would be to clean floor and carpet. The best way to clean them would be to use a vacuum cleaner.

Kitchen: Never clean the kitchen while you are cleaning the other spaces in your home. Kitchen cleaning needs to be treated exclusively as it would take as much as time that you may have.
 
These steps would ensure a thorough cleaning of your home. Adorn your home with vibrant curtains, cushion & sofa covers and add a dash of freshness with indoor plants and fresh flowers. Place terracotta diyas and in niches & corners, and welcome this diwali with a beautiful rangoli, flowers and diyas at your front door.

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

Rolls Royce, since its evolution has been a mark of high status and opulence, simply because any middle-class person cannot afford to buy a car that costs 3-5 lac dollars.

Clip that Dungaree Back On!

Image
Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
