The monsoon season in Kerala brings much-needed respite from the summer heat. However, the constant downpour can also lead to a feeling of gloom and a dull, grimy home environment. Don’t let the monsoon blues dampen your spirits! Here at Clean Kerala, we have some tips to brighten your home and keep it sparkling clean during the rainy season:

Embrace the Natural Light:

• Open those Curtains: Even on cloudy days, maximize natural light by keeping curtains and blinds open during the day. Natural light not only brightens your space but also helps prevent mold growth.
• Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Strategically placed mirrors can reflect light and create an illusion of a larger, brighter space.

Combat the Moisture:

• Invest in Dehumidifiers: Excess moisture can lead to musty odors and mold growth. Dehumidifiers help control moisture levels, creating a fresher and healthier environment.
• Air it Out: On drier days, open windows and doors to allow fresh air circulation and prevent moisture build-up.

Cleaning Hacks for a Monsoon Refresh:

• Doormat Magic: Place a good quality doormat outside your entryway to trap dirt and moisture before it gets tracked into your home. Regularly clean and dry the doormat to prevent mold growth.
• Shoe Hygiene: Designate a shoe rack near the entrance and make it a habit to remove and store shoes outside the living area to prevent tracked-in mud and water.
• Mop it Up: Regularly mop floors, especially high-traffic areas, to remove dirt and moisture. Consider using a disinfectant floor cleaner to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Embrace the Power of Natural Scents:

• Citrus Power: The invigorating scent of citrus fruits like lemon and orange can uplift your mood and combat musty odors. Place bowls of fresh citrus slices around the house or diffuse essential oils.
• Cloves and Cinnamon: These warm spices not only have a pleasant aroma but also possess natural antibacterial properties. Simmer them in water on the stovetop for a natural and fragrant air freshener.

Professional Cleaning for Lasting Results:

While regular cleaning is essential, sometimes a deep professional cleaning is necessary to combat the challenges of the monsoon season. Clean Kerala offers a range of cleaning services to tackle the monsoon grime:

Hiring just the right housekeeper can be life-altering for the busy family. Now this may seem to be a little over-the-top, but I am serious. Think about your life-whether single, a couple or a family-you have no time. No time to keep your home as organized or clean as you would like. No time to do the smaller tidying jobs that would make a huge difference.
