# Expert Cleaning Blogs: Tips for Commercial and Residential Cleaning
# Start the Summer Off on a Clean Foot with a Summer Cleaning
June 24, 2022 [Imperial Cleaning](https://blog.imperialcleaning.com/blog/author/imperial-cleaning)
While the warm summer temperatures are ideal for spending time outside, the pleasant weather can result in your home looking less than clean. Kids, pets, and visitors often track dirt, grass, and mud inside your home, causing it to quickly appear dirty. Even though you know your home needs a thorough summer cleaning, between outings, trips, seasonal treats, and aquatic fun, there’s not enough time to give it the attention it deserves.
Schedule a summer cleaning session with Imperial Cleaning to start your summer off with a sparkling home that’s ready for all your seasonal activities. Check out some benefits of scheduling a summer cleaning session with Imperial Cleaning to kick off the season.
## **Imperial Cleaning Offers One-Time and Regular Cleaning Sessions**
At Imperial Cleaning, we customize our clients’ cleaning schedules to suit their needs.
Schedule a cleaning periodically when you fall behind on your chores, or opt for ongoing cleaning sessions that ensure your home is always fresh and inviting.
Some of the cleaning services that Imperial Cleaning offers include:
- Recurring [residential cleaning](https://imperialcleaning.com/scheduled-house-cleaning-services/) (weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly)
- Post-construction cleaning
- Move-in or move-out cleaning
- Deep cleaning (ideal for periodic cleanings or to begin your reoccurring cleaning services)
- The [Imperial Shield Program](https://imperialcleaning.com/imperial-shield/) (adds antimicrobial protection to your surfaces)
- Electrostatic disinfection
We also offer add-on cleaning services that address specific issues in your home, such as:
- Ceramic tile grout cleaning and sealing
- Patio furniture cleaning
- Window cleaning
## **What to Expect During a Summer Cleaning**
Our team will arrive for your appointment in uniforms and cars with the Imperial Cleaning logo so you can easily identify them.
We provide all the equipment and supplies necessary to properly clean your home. In addition, our products are [non-toxic and environmentally friendly](https://imperialcleaning.com/green-cleaning-services/); you won’t have to worry about potentially dangerous chemicals impacting your kids or pets. All our cleaners utilize PPE following CDC guidelines to help keep your household healthy and safe.
Your cleaning session will include three [experienced housecleaners](https://imperialcleaning.com/professional-staff/) who have undergone extensive background checks. By sending a team with multiple cleaners, we can expedite your cleaning session so that there’s minimal disruption to your routine.
All Imperial Cleaning team members are bonded, licensed, and insured for your protection. They also have experience and training that ensures they know how to effectively and safely clean specific types of surfaces.
After your session, if you decide to continue your cleaning services, our quality assurance program uses your feedback to help us improve and enhance your upcoming sessions.
## **Scheduled Cleaning Makes it Easier to Maintain a Clean House**
Once your home is clean, you can keep it looking its best by following a few simple guidelines that make your summer cleaning convenient and easy:
### **Immediately Wipe Up Food Spills**
Food spills will happen during the summer months, especially if your children are at home most of the day. Make sure that any food spills are promptly cleaned up to prevent your surfaces from getting sticky and attracting pests.
Have a set of cleaning wipes or a stack of microfiber cloths on-hand to make it convenient to quickly clean up food spills.
### **Follow a “Leave the Room Better” Philosophy**
Encourage your household to embrace a “leave the room better” mantra. This means that whenever you enter a room, you’re not only expected to clean up any messes you make, but you should complete an additional task or two to leave the room looking better.
For example, in the kitchen, you might load any dishes in the sink, sweep the floors, or wipe the counters.
The goal isn’t to completely clean a room when you enter it; instead, you do something to make the space cleaner. Throughout the day, these seemingly small actions have a notable impact on the room’s cleanliness and organization.
### **Take Steps to Keep Dirt and Sand Outside**
You can do a few things to decrease the amount of dirt, sand, and grime that gets tracked into your home. First, ensure that each of your home’s entrances has a quality doormat that will remove dirt and mud from shoes.
Have anyone entering your household remove their shoes once they’re inside. Consider placing a shoe rack or shoe tray near your doors so that shoes don’t wind up in a heap on the floor.
You’ll want to vacuum high-traffic areas at least once or twice a week. Vacuuming is usually more efficient than sweeping at removing sand from your floors. Invest in a handheld vacuum to make it easy to quickly clean up any sand or dirt that makes it inside your home.
Don’t forget your outside surfaces, like your porch, deck, or patio, as any dirt in these areas will likely travel inside your home. You can sweep these outdoor areas with a broom, or you may use a leaf blower to quickly eradicate grass and dirt.
### **Frequently Take Your Trash Out**
The heat makes it common for odors associated with your trash can to worsen during the summer. Prevent this by taking your garbage out once a day and regularly cleaning your trash can.
You can use your preferred cleaning product and a microfiber rag to wipe down the exterior of your trash can. For the interior, combine a few drops of dish detergent with 3-4 cups of hot water and ¼ cup of bleach. This combo will eradicate odors and sanitize your trashcan.
Rinse your trash can and dry it. To tackle messes caused by broken, leaking trash bags, line your trash can with a few layers of newspaper to soak up any leaks or spills.
