As a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carpet and rug cleaning service company in Singapore,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we\u2019ve put together this house cleaning schedule so you don\u2019t have to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>House Cleaning Schedule During COVID-19\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule of thumb, if you want to keep everything clean, it\u2019s essential that you perform specific cleaning tasks every day such as sweeping the floors, vacuuming the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carpet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and wiping and sanitising surfaces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014particularly the kitchen counters and sinks. The same rules apply when cleaning the high-touch areas in the household such as handles, knobs, remote controls, light switches, and bathroom fixtures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least once a week, you should also change your bedding, scrub bathroom surfaces, dust furniture, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clean your upholstery<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, defrost your fridge and throw away expired food. In this time of a pandemic, where there\u2019s a threat from a virus, you can opt to do this more often to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ensure the safety of your household.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then at least once a month, you should make time for deep cleaning, which should tackle tasks such as dusting and cleaning light fixtures, decluttering, and organising filing cabinets. As for tasks such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deep cleaning the carpets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, area rugs, and sofa, you can do them once or twice a year but you can always leave them to the professionals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While studies have found that the COVID-19 virus can stay on some surfaces for up to two days, that didn\u2019t include fabrics or other surfaces like carpets.
