Keeping your home clean in a busy city like London can feel overwhelming, especially with work, travel, and everyday life. At FrescaVida Home Solutions, we understand how valuable your time is. That’s why we've put together 7 simple yet effective cleaning tips that will help you maintain a tidy and fresh home without stress.

1. Start with a Daily Reset

Spend just 10–15 minutes at the end of each day resetting your space. Clear countertops, fluff cushions, and do a quick tidy-up. This small daily habit helps prevent mess from piling up and keeps your home consistently clean.

2. Tackle One Room at a Time

Focusing on one area at a time helps you stay organised and avoid burnout. Start with the room that needs the most attention—often the kitchen or bathroom—and work your way through the rest of your home over the week.

3. Use Microfibre Cloths for Better Results

Switching to microfibre cloths makes dusting and surface cleaning far more effective. These cloths trap dust instead of pushing it around, helping you clean faster with less product.

4. Refresh High-Touch Areas Daily

Door handles, light switches, remote controls, and tap handles collect germs quickly. Wipe them down regularly with a disinfectant spray or wipe, especially in shared or high-traffic areas.

5. Let Your Cleaning Products Sit

Give sprays and cleaning agents a minute or two to work before wiping them off. This contact time helps break down dirt, grease, and bacteria more effectively—no extra scrubbing required.

6. Vacuum Strategically

Instead of quickly going over your floors, vacuum slowly and in two directions (forward and backward) to pick up embedded dirt and dust. Don’t forget to get under furniture and along skirting boards.

7. Schedule Regular Deep Cleans

Even with regular upkeep, your home needs a proper deep clean every 3 to 6 months. FrescaVida Home Solutions offers deep cleaning services in London that target hidden dirt in skirting boards, tile grout, behind appliances and more—perfect for a seasonal refresh or after a big event.

Why It Matters

A clean home isn’t just about appearances. Regular cleaning supports a healthier living environment by reducing allergens, bacteria, and dust. Whether you’re doing it yourself or booking a professional service, these small changes can make a big difference.
