Isn’t it nice to get home and enjoy a relaxing, welcoming and cosy atmosphere? That’s usually achieved best in a well maintained and tidy living room. It’s where you spend the special moments with your family and welcome guests. So, how can you turn any living area into an amazing sanctuary of joy, laughter and good vibrations? We have some great living room cleaning tips that can just do the trick.

Regularity is Key

Nothing beats regular cleaning of your living space. You know this is an area where a lot happens and therefore needs constant care. Open the windows every day for at least 30 minutes to improve the air quality and vacuum the floor every other day. Dusting furniture and spot cleaning the floor and glass surfaces once a week is a good idea.

Don’t Miss a Deep Clean

Your living room needs a deep clean at every change of season, no matter how diligent you are with your regular weekly and daily chores. Deep cleaning the living room ensures the environment is healthy, pest infestation is less likely to occur and your home benefits from a fresh new energy. During the process you will focus on more than what you usually do. Windows need to be cleaned, curtains, cushions and throws washed, skirting boards properly wiped and disted.

Declutter

Decluttering is an essential part of effectively cleaning the living room and turning it into a calm and inviting place. Unnecessary items stacked in different parts of the place make it look stuffy and uncomfortable. By creating more physical space in your living area, you also create space for growth in any aspect of your life.

The Carpets Need You

Living room carpets are often in need of TLC. Something gets spilt, someone brings dirt from outside or your pet has a little accident. But even if your carpet appears perfectly clean, know that you still need to have it professionally washed every 6 months. This is to protect yourself and your family from potential diseases and allergies.

Organise and Use Colours to Lift up Mood

Organisation systems in living rooms really make a difference in the way those spaces look and feel. There is plenty of inspiration you can find on Pinterest or in some of our Instagram posts. Colour therapy is also a good way to keep your spirit up when you spend a long time at home. See what’s trendy this season or simply choose the colours that make you happy and relaxed, and add them to your living room interior.

Bring Out the Essential Oil

Speaking of mood and vibes, nothing works better than essential oils. For the living space choose cheerful and vibrant scents like peppermint, lemon, grapefruit or cinnamon. You should also know that essential oils have many healing properties and can be used not only as natural air freshener, but also as health protectors and sanitisers.
