Read on to find out what in your home should only be cleaned by professionals.
The bathroom
Harmful bacteria including E. coli, Salmonella, and Streptococcus can fester in bathrooms and put people’s health at risk. Regular and thorough disinfection of all surfaces, including any nooks and crannies, is essential to protecting people from infection and disease.
If mould is growing in your bathroom, it should also be removed by professional cleaners. Exposure can put your health at risk and cleaning it yourself is especially dangerous.
Cleaners will have the specialist products and equipment to safely remove all traces of the mould, including from hard-to-reach areas like the ceilings, grout, and shower doors.
The kitchen
A clean kitchen is essential to protecting yourself and others from bacteria, viruses, and foodborne illnesses, like Norovirus and Listeriosis. Professionals will use specialist disinfectants to remove any pathogens, and give you peace of mind that it is safe to prepare and store food there.
They will also deep clean your appliances, like ovens and microwaves, which can be very difficult to clean and may require dangerous chemicals.
The bedroom and living spaces
Dust and allergens like pet dander and pollen can quickly build up underneath and behind furniture. These might cause allergic reactions, and even respiratory and cardiovascular health problems.
Professional cleaners can safely move furniture to thoroughly vacuum all the carpets and rugs. They will have the specialist cleaning equipment to remove any dust and other substances that have settled in your furniture, too.
The hallways
When people enter your property, their shoes can bring in lots of dirt, debris, and pollutants. Dirty carpets could put your health at risk as you could inhale bacteria, dust, allergens, and even mould.
Frequent vacuuming might not help, either, as it may not get rid of all of them and could even release the particles into the air. Cleaners have the equipment to eliminate these harmful substances quickly.
The utility room
Washing machines tend to get mouldy due to the presence of warm, humid conditions and detergent residue which gives it something to feed off.
Removing mould from washing machines is especially difficult. You need to tackle all the nooks and crannies, like in the rubber seal, and it may even need to be disassembled to remediate it.
Cleaning experts will be able to thoroughly clean the washing machine, and then advise on how to stop the mould from coming back.
