Tips For Preparing Your House For The New Year

Organizing, renovating, and cleaning Oh my! Cleaning alone won’t necessarily make your house sparkle and be clutter-free for the new year. Cleaning is undoubtedly a crucial part of getting ready for the new year, but it’s not the only thing that may make you feel more secure and at home.

You may clean your home before the new year with the help of MagiCleanMaid’s amazing cleaning professionals. To start 2024 off right, we also have some advice, tasks, and deadlines to meet at the end of this year.

Three Steps to Take Before the New Year

1. Change The Appearance

Are your living room, bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom sporting the same old look? You’re most likely prepared for a change, and we can make it happen! If you’re enjoying color pops, add them or match fewer pieces together for a more understated appearance. Whatever your design aesthetic, there are a number of small adjustments you can make for the new year that will have a big impact.

Change the Room Colors

Although picking paint colors might seem very straightforward, there is a method to it. You need a color that goes with your personal taste. You must then choose a sample of your choices to see how they appear on the walls. It’s common practice to omit this stage, but it’s crucial to observe how colors appear in morning, afternoon, and evening light.

Replace Hardware

For improved functionality for you or to improve the aesthetics of your home, your kitchen, and bathroom don’t require extensive renovation. Simply replacing the hardware can improve the environment. Kitchen cabinet handles and pulls can dress up your room and create the atmosphere you want. For an improved appearance for the new year, consider European bar pulls, center finger pulls, geometric pulls, or cylindrical knobs.

Reposition Furniture

You can create the visual appeal you’re after in your home by doing something as simple as rearranging the furniture in various rooms. Additionally, you won’t have to spend any money to renew your spot. Make a plan before you start shifting stuff.

What we advise you to do is:

• Make sure your furniture will fit properly by measuring the walls. 
• Ensure there are enough walkways for convenient movement.
• Before shifting anything, use layout software to help you make adjustments.
• Place the largest piece of furniture in the room as the room’s main point before moving any ornamental items.

2. Emphasize Cleaning

Planning your New Year’s cleaning schedule should be done once your space is exactly how you want it. To create a clear plan for dealing with some of your home’s dirtiest and most disorganized areas, use one of our cleaning checklists.

Clean windows

Your home’s windows are one area that generally doesn’t get much attention. In no way are we making judgments. The truth is that washing windows only needs to be done once a year at the very least. To make sure the glass panes are cleaned thoroughly and the seals are in place for improved insulation, we advise cleaning windows every six months.

Clean Behind Appliances

We’re all guilty of allowing food scraps to accumulate under and between appliances and counters. Even worse, once everything is set up, these regions seldom ever see the light of day. Cleaning behind large equipment like your entertainment system and appliances is a necessary part of any new year’s cleaning practice. We advise you to resolve to complete this cleaning task this year and include it in your regular cleaning schedule.

Clean Elevated Areas

When was the last time you cleaned your ceiling’s crown molding, ceiling fan blades, or the upper cupboards in your kitchen? Start incorporating such cleaning responsibilities into your yearly cleaning schedule at the end of the year. All year long, dust and filth accumulate in those places, which may significantly affect your indoor air quality and make it harder for your family members to breathe. Get a dry microfiber cloth to attract dust instead of a typical duster to avoid leaving behind residue.

Winterize Your Home

After spending some time discussing the interior of your home, let’s now concentrate on the exterior and some of the systems that make sure it runs smoothly. As the temperature decreases, winterizing your home will assist in maintaining essential components that make it cozy and livable.

Maintain HVAC Systems

The significance of having your heating and cooling system serviced each year cannot be overstated. Wintertime issues could result from skipping this important task. Can you imagine spending New Year’s Eve at home with your loved ones and having your heater break down? You don’t want to find yourself in a precarious scenario that endangers your family’s health and security.

Your Irrigation System Need to Be Flushed

Your grass is going dormant as winter approaches. This implies that you won’t need to water your lawn, which means your irrigation system won’t be used frequently. In order to prevent frozen pipes from damaging your irrigation system, you should drain any water that is currently in them. To properly drain your system for the season, follow this tutorial.

Examine the Air Quality

If indoor contaminants are left unchecked, they can take over your house. Your persistent cough or sniffles could be caused by airborne pollutants. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a number of factors, such as ventilation, humidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dust, etc. To make sure your house is a safe and healthy environment for everyone, especially in the new year, IAQ should be evaluated every five years or as needed.
