Easy to Clean Window Shades near Santa Fe, NM

When cleaning for those holiday gatherings comes around this year, there are those of us that will have more work in store for them than others. Because some homes aren’t optimized for easy cleaning or low maintenance upkeep, for those, the chore of cleaning is a prolonged torture as the cycle seems unending - dirt and grime continually accumulating. However, cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore.

Hunter Douglas Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, Easy to Clean Window Shades, near Santa Fe, New Mexico (NM)

By taking a strategic look at design elements in your home (for example choosing easy to clean window shades) it is easy to optimize the process to cut down on both the time and elbow grease needed to keep your home in tip-top, dust-free shape. So this holiday, you can spend your time enjoying the family togetherness and excitement of the season instead of long hours spent cleaning.

Tips for Seasonal Cleaning

1. Setting Yourself Up for Success

Simply put, make less work for your future self by preparing your household to need less cleanings. For example, fewer knickknacks can cut down on the time you need to dedicate to dusting. If you don’t want to do away with your keepsakes entirely then positioning them in ways that are easier to clean can also be an option. For example, have a credenza covered with framed photos? Dusting each one is a time-draining process and with each movement you risk knocking over a frame. Take those same frames, however, and hang them stylishly and securely on a wall and your dusting time drops dramatically as they can be cleaned in one quick, easy pass.

2. Optimizing your Cleaning Process

No matter how well designed your home is, there is no escaping cleaning completely. So, when the time does come to roll your sleeves, up remember these two tips. First, routine cleaning means less work. Taking a small amount of time every day to do one chore is, in the grand scheme of things, less of a time commitment then having to dedicate whole days or weekends to cleaning your home. Second, go top to bottom, not room to room. Start by dusting any light fixtures and fans in the home, then loop back to where you started and begin cleaning the remaining room from the top down. This gives floating dust time to settle so it won’t ruin the perfect look of your final clean.

3. Choosing the Best Easy-Clean Products

Think about cleaning your home. What takes up your time the most? Is it a hard-to-clean couch or plush drapery? Do you spend the most time scrubbing in the bathroom or picking up in the living room? Every household has its individual challenges with cleaning, and by understanding your household's needs you can better tailor a cleaning program.
