"Everlasting Maintenance and Exhaustion Avoided: Design Elements Professionals Steer Clear of for Personal Living Spaces"

In every home, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is essential. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your kitchen, bathroom, and general living areas spotless.

Kitchens and bathrooms, in particular, can pose challenges due to their high use and the potential for aerosolized microscopic grease and dust. Open shelving in these areas can leave behind a sticky film on dishes, glass, and decor. To combat this, consider using the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster and the Method All Purpose Limited Edition Cleaner.

Grout, a common material in these areas, is porous by nature and acts like a sponge for spills and grime. Sealing grout from day one can make it less absorbent, and opting for minimal grout lines in tile is recommended to prevent trapping dirt. Darker grout shades can disguise dirt, while lighter-colored grout makes every stain visible.

Carpeted staircases can be a challenge to clean due to their difficult-to-reach edges and corners, embedded stains, and the accumulation of dirt, crumbs, and oils from shoes and bare feet. Alternatives such as staircase runners or natural wood stairways can make cleaning easier.

Heavy window treatments, especially thick curtains made from textured fabrics like velvet, attract and hold onto dust, pet hair, and allergens. Blinds and window sills are often neglected during cleaning, but they are essential areas to focus on. Blinds are a lighter, more manageable alternative to heavy window treatments.

Areas out of reach, tricky nooks and corners, air vents, and exhaust fans are often neglected while cleaning a home. An extendable feather duster can help keep crown molding clean.

Bathrooms also have problems with lint from towels and moisture in the air clinging to exposed shelves. Simpler profiles for trim work are easier to wipe quickly, while carved or layered designs require more detailing.

Ornate, trim, moulding, and textured surfaces are notorious dust magnets due to their ridges and grooves collecting debris. Textured decor in layers, such as rugs, throw pillows, and limewash paint, can provide visual texture with low maintenance.

A household cleaning schedule and designer-approved cleaning products and tools are necessary to maintain a clean home. Regularly wiping down kitchen shelves, attending to neglected areas, and using the right cleaning tools can make a significant difference.
