National Inner Beauty Day is coming! While most people think to look inside themselves for inner beauty, ServiceMaster 5 Points Athens, a cleaning service, is offering tips on keeping your home or business beautiful on the inside.
Like your smile, the front door is where first impressions are made. Take the time to look at it and see if it is what you want people to think of your home. Is the color welcoming, and does it represent you? Is the door clean and free of defects? A simple sand and repaint of the door can make it look fresh, new and inviting.
Are your windows clean and in good repair? Natural light is inviting, but it can draw the eye to dingy windows, cracked panes and if not properly sealed, that little bug graveyard in the sill. Replace them if needed, but otherwise make a routine of cleaning the panes and sills so your windows showcase the inside of your home instead of showing off less desirable qualities.
Make your home look bigger and cleaner by decluttering it and using simple but elegant accents. The modern look is minimalist because it is easier to keep clean, and the lack of clutter makes spaces look much larger. Of course having decorations will help make it more beautiful, but consider simpler decor such as flowers or accent pieces. Choose items that are easy to clean and can be changed out seasonally so your interior matches the festivities that drew the guests to your home or business in the first place.
Be sure to remember even the small details like keeping the kitchen clear of dirty dishes and the counters clean. Keep the guest bathroom wiped down so a quick cleaning can be done anytime. Keep fresh towels on hand so they can be thrown up at a moment's notice. Nothing takes away from a beautiful home more than breakfast on the counter and dingy, worn out towels in a dirty bathroom.
Finally, make a cleaning schedule that keeps your interior in good enough condition that you only have to do a light dusting and pick up of clutter to be ready at a moment's notice. Cleaning your drapes, upholstery and flooring every 6 months or so keeps them looking cleaner with only a light sweep or vacuum to get surface dust off of them. You can also schedule cleanings in between these to target any special problems like spills and stains.
ServiceMaster 5 Points Athens specializes in keeping all types of flooring and upholstery clean.
