Keeping Your Home Sparkling Between Cleans ✨

At Dr. Bins Cleaning, we understand how busy life can get. Between work, family, and daily routines, keeping your home spotless isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re here to handle the deep cleaning and heavy lifting. But what about those moments between professional cleans?

The good news is that with a few quick habits, you can keep your space fresh, welcoming, and easy to maintain until your next appointment. Here are our top tips for a cleaner, calmer home — tried and tested by our professional cleaning team.

1. The 10-Minute Tidy

Clutter builds up fast — but it doesn’t have to take over. Set a timer for 10 minutes each evening and do a quick sweep:

• Put toys back in baskets

• Load the dishwasher or clear dishes from the sink

• Fold and put away stray laundry

• Wipe down countertops

It’s amazing how a short burst of tidying can completely change the feel of your home. Plus, you’ll start the next day with a clean slate.

2. Focus on “High-Touch” Areas

Some of the most overlooked spots in a home are also the most used: door handles, light switches, remote controls, fridge handles, and phones. Wiping these down once or twice a week with a disinfectant cloth or spray reduces germs and keeps things feeling fresher.

It only takes a couple of minutes but makes a big difference, especially during cold and flu season.

3. Bathroom Shine Hack

Bathrooms are one of the trickiest rooms to keep sparkling, but there’s an easy hack: after a shower, use a dry cloth or squeegee to quickly run over mirrors, taps, and shower glass.

Why it works:

• Prevents water spots and streaks

• Stops limescale from building up

• Keeps surfaces shiny for longer

A 30-second wipe can save you from scrubbing later.

4. The Magic of Baking Soda

Baking soda is a cleaner’s secret weapon. It’s inexpensive, safe, and incredibly versatile:

• Sprinkle in bins or the fridge to absorb odours

• Shake onto carpets before hoovering for a fresher smell

• Mix with a little water to scrub stubborn stains on sinks or tiles

It’s a natural way to keep things smelling clean without harsh chemicals.

5. Don’t Forget the Skirting Boards

Dust loves skirting boards, and while they’re easy to miss, they make a big difference to how fresh your home feels. Use a microfiber cloth or even the brush attachment on your hoover once every couple of weeks.

Pro tip: Wipe with a dryer sheet afterwards — it reduces static and keeps dust from sticking as quickly.

6. Create a “Mini-Cleaning Kit”

Instead of dragging supplies from room to room, make a small kit with essentials:

• Microfiber cloth

• All-purpose spray

• Small disinfectant wipes

• A sponge

Keep it under the sink or in a caddy, so you can do quick touch-ups whenever you spot something. Having supplies close at hand makes it easy to deal with little messes before they turn into big ones.

7. A Fresh Start in the Kitchen

The kitchen is often the busiest room in the house, and small habits go a long way here:

• Wipe the hob after each use

• Line the bin with an extra bag so you’re never stuck

• Run half a lemon through your sink disposal or rub it on taps for a natural shine

These little touches keep your kitchen smelling clean and looking inviting.
