How To Keep Your Unit Clean

February 11, 2023

Tips For Maintaining A Clean Apartment

A family is cleaning the living room together.

  1. Declutter and Destress
Clutter in an  apartment  automatically makes the space look messier than it is. Take time every so often to go through your items and donate or throw away what you no longer need. We have a donation box at the back of our Alexander Estates parking lot, feel free to donate anything you don't want/need.    2. Dusting from Top to Bottom It gets very dusty in an apartment if not dusted regularly, start from the top of your unit and work your way down. For example, dust your fan blades and the top of your cabinets. These places are often forgotten about so it doesn't hurt to make sure you aren't breathing it in everyday. Then continue to dust your dressers/desks and even inside your cabinets from time to time.     3. Clean your windows Especially during the winter months, windows tend to get dirtier a lot quicker.  Make sure to not overlook the windows and wipe them down with some window cleaner.     4. Deep Clean the Kitchen It might not be your favorite task, but giving your kitchen a deep clean is a must. Start by wiping down and disinfecting all of your appliances. Then, do the same with your countertops, taking the time to move any small appliances out of the way for a thorough clean. Don't forget to scrub down your sink to get rid of any stains and/or food residue.     5. Don't forget the bathrooms Wiping down countertops, faucets, sinks, and other hard surfaces with a disinfecting wipe goes a long way in keeping your bathroom clean. Showers and tubs get dirty quickly since we use them almost everyday and share them with others. A good scrubber brush and all-purpose cleaning powder will go a long way in removing stains and build-up quickly. Don't forget to wipe down any mirrors with a glass cleaner to remove smudges, stray toothpaste, and other residue that could potentially build up.     6. Vacuum Carpets Don't be afraid to move your furniture around to get all the corners of carpet once in awhile. Most of our apartments have carpets and its important to make sure they stay clean to avoid having build up of dirt/dust.     7. Mop the floors Take time to mop hard floors in bathrooms, entryways, kitchens and your living room. You may also want to wipe around baseboards and/or trim for a deeper clean. We tend to track a lot of salt into our apartments during the winter months, it is very important to mop so it doesn't stick to your floor and helps wash away dust that accumulates.
