January Deep House Clean

Welcome to Tony's Tips by A2B Cleaning Services, where we're excited to kickstart the new year with a sparkling clean home! January is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate your living space. Our expert team has crafted the ultimate 5-step guide to ensure your home gleams with cleanliness and serenity.


Step 1: Declutter and Organise

Begin by decluttering each room. Clear out unnecessary items and create a more organised space. For an eco-friendly cleaner, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of essential oils (lavender or tea tree) for a pleasant scent. This DIY solution effectively cleans surfaces and eliminates odours. Ingredients available at local UK stores like Tesco or Sainsbury's.


Step 2: Dust and Polish

Dust tends to accumulate in overlooked areas. Grab a microfiber cloth and gently wipe down surfaces. For wooden furniture, create a natural polish using olive oil and lemon juice. Mix 2 parts olive oil with 1 part lemon juice, apply a small amount to a cloth, and rub onto the furniture. It'll restore shine and protect wood surfaces. Ingredients easily found at Asda or Tesco.


Step 3: Freshen Up Fabrics

Give your upholstery and curtains a refresh! Baking soda works wonders as a natural deodorizer. Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over fabric surfaces, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then vacuum it up. This simple hack eliminates odours and leaves fabrics smelling fresh. Purchase baking soda at your local Asda or Tesco.


Step 4: Sparkling Kitchen and Bathroom

The kitchen and bathroom often need extra attention. Create a powerful cleaner by mixing equal parts water and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. This solution effectively tackles grease and grime on countertops, sinks, and tiles. Add a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing scent. Find these ingredients easily at Tesco, Asda, or Sainsbury's.


Step 5: Floors that Shine

To finish off your deep clean, focus on the floors. For wooden or laminate floors, create a gentle cleaner by mixing warm water with a splash of mild dish soap. This solution will clean effectively without damaging surfaces. For tiles, use a mixture of water and vinegar for a streak-free shine. Easily available ingredients at Asda, Sainsbury's, or Tesco.


By following these simple yet effective DIY cleaning hacks using ingredients easily accessible from your local UK stores, your home will radiate cleanliness and serenity for the new year.
