Ah, November in Durham! The time of year when the trees are shedding more than just a few pounds, and your home is preparing to hibernate for the winter. But before you tuck your house in with a cozy blanket, it’s time for a little Durham house cleaning. After all, those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and those who live in cozy homes shouldn’t ignore the dust bunnies.
Now, if you’re thinking, “Why clean when the leaves are just going to keep piling up outside?” remember, a clean home is a happy home, and it’s far less likely to stage a mutiny. If your schedule is tighter than your jeans after Thanksgiving dinner, consider calling in a Durham maid service. These professionals can whip your house into shape faster than you can say “pumpkin spice everything.”
First, let’s tackle the windows. The autumn sun might be low, but you still want to let in those rays – minus the smudges that make your windows look like they’ve been used as target practice by hyperactive squirrels. A vinegar-water mix and some old newspapers will do the trick. Just be prepared for your neighbors to wonder if you’ve gone back to the 1800s with your cleaning methods.
Next, let’s give some love to those neglected corners where dust gathers like awkward relatives at a family reunion. For those hard-to-reach places, attach a microfiber cloth to the end of a broomstick. Voilà! Instant cleaning wand. If only it came with a spell to make cleaning more enjoyable.
Also, add a sprinkle of seasonal charm by swapping out your usual air fresheners for scents like cinnamon or apple cider. Your home will smell like a fall festival without the hassle of hayrides or the accidental consumption of a decorative gourd.
If all else fails and your motivation to clean is as low as the temperatures outside, remember that you can always schedule a cleaning with a local service. Just think of it as outsourcing your chores while you focus on more important things, like perfecting your mashed potato recipe or constructing a blanket fort. After all, you deserve a cozy Durham home without the back-breaking labor.
