Countries like Britiain have gone spring-cleaning crazy and as a result, the demand for home cleaning products has risen by over 200% during the lockdown, according to experts.

The website of cleaning experts Dr. Beckmann has seen a staggering 231% increase in traffic since lockdown started, as consumers struggle to book online delivery slots from major supermarkets and face long queues at the doors.

Experts at the cleaning and laundry company have today issued a Top 10 list of the areas of the home that need extra work as the UK heads into another three-week lockdown. The company has advised that households will need extra attention as we spend more time than usual in our homes. For some people, it can be hard for them to clean in line with how much they are in their homes, that is why they will turn to professional cleaners such as Clean and Simple Cleaning or services within their immediate area so they can get a thorough clean whilst working with the lockdown rules so that everyone is staying safe and sanitary.

Dr. Beckmann spokesperson, Susan Fermor said: “As many of us are now working from home, our houses are playing a dual role as an office and a home. When there are so many areas in the house, there is a need for extra cleaning and attention to combat excess dirt and bacteria that may build up. Some household jobs may have been overlooked so now is the time to tackle them.”On the increased demand for cleaning products Susan Fermor added, “We’ve seen an unprecedented demand for our anti-bacterial products and our staff have been working hard to cope with the increased demand. We want the nation to feel their homes are getting a robust clean during this pandemic so we’re working as hard as we can to maximise production so there’s enough for every household.”

TOP TEN AREAS THAT NEED EXTRA CARE DURING LOCKDOWN EXTENSION

1)Washing machine
The washing machine can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. So, we recommend running the machine with a cleaner specially designed to remove bacteria, such as Dr Beckmann Service-it Deep Clean Washing Machine Cleaner. Ensure the kitchen or laundry room is well ventilated and the washing machine door and drum is left open for a while after use.

2)Door knobs and handles
Door knobs, handles and letterboxes are common items that are usually overlooked. Make sure to apply a surface cleaner to the object and wipe every inch and corner, if a small part is missed than it still opens up the risk of spreading germs throughout the house.

3)Surfaces
Surfaces in the home are high traffic areas and whether it be in the kitchen or the bathroom they need to be cleaned with anti-bacterial spray to ensure they remain germ free and ready to use

4)Floors
Floors often have unseen dirt and germs and need a deeper clean. Brushing hard floors and then using a steam mop like this with anti-bacterial products is a good way to keep on top of the dirt and germs

5)Pillows & cushions
These items are getting some extra use during lockdown and need to be washed regularly as a result. Wash cushion covers and for cushion pads or pillows use a non-bio detergent and tumble dry

6)Lamps and light fittings

These are easy to forget but can hoard dust for a long time so need to be dusted with a soft bristled brush and for fabric shades that maybe tricky to remove, a lint roller can be effective

7)Hallways

Hallways quickly build up dirt, especially along skirting boards, so these need to be wiped often. Pets often leave a dirt trail throughout the hallway, once they’ve returned from a walk so extra care and attention will be required

8)Front doors and exterior

As we continue to keep two metres distance when outside, front doors can have multiple germs and bacteria on them. It’s important to regularly wipe down the door handle with soap and water. If you want to go the extra mile, you could even use a pressure washer (like those Hinesville soft washing services make use of) on the outside side to really scour any grime away from it. Speaking of grime, you may also want to get your gutters checked every now and then as they have a tendency to get clogged. Especially right after spring, when all the leaves and other debris get stuck on the roof, it might be a good idea to get in touch with a gutter cleaning service (look for Gutter Cleaning Birmingham) somewhere near your house.

Additionally, it would be a good idea to declutter your space as well, be it inside the house, or the exterior. Clutters can be a huge hindrance to peace, calm, and space in your home. As more and more people realize that their lives are cluttered with unnecessary items, clearing clutter is becoming increasingly popular. Our busy world may be to blame, or perhaps we’ve begun to realize that ‘having it all’ doesn’t always guarantee happiness and fulfillment. Eliminating unwanted clutter creates more room in your living space. There are only things you keep that add value to your life, that you need, love, appreciate and will cherish. So you’ll have less random clutter taking up space in your cupboards, garage, shed, drawers, table tops, shelves, and on your work surfaces. Of course, you’ll have less stuff stacked in your basement and on your stairs, too!
Decluttering involves reorganizing the things you already have and putting them in proper filing systems, storage containers, and places so that you can locate most or all of them. After you do finish the said process, you might want to contact professionals similar to Rubbish Removals Clayton company, who can remove the unwanted trash for you.

9)Clothes

Washing clothes in extremely hot temperatures isn’t always required and can be harmful to the environment. Tests have proven that washing your clothes at 60 degrees with a good detergent can be just as effective

10)Oven

As we spend another three weeks indoors, the oven will be getting extra use so regular cleaning will be required. Baking soda and vinegar is an effective and cost-efficient way of tackling burnt on food inside of the oven
