It would be nice if we could just clean our homes with a snap of our fingers. But until that is invented, understanding how to overcome cleaning challenges is going to be the closest to magic you can get! When it comes to living in Texas, there are a few main points to think about.
Humidity
It’s stating the obvious that humidity is a problem in Texas. This is especially going to be a problem if you are in the Gulf Coast area or in similar geographical areas with a higher humidity level.
When it comes to humidity, you have to focus on preventing mold growth. Not only is it bad for your health, but it can also ruin your home and the items in it! Using proper cleaning supplies designed to protect against humidity is a crucial starting point.
You’ll also want to set up a cleaning schedule and stick to it — especially in those moisture-prone areas such as the kitchen and the bathroom.
Allergens
Thanks to Texas’s climate, many allergens have a long season compared to other parts of the world. If you are someone in your household who suffers from seasonal allergies, keeping your home clean as often as possible is going to help reduce allergy symptoms as much as possible.
As far as tasks are concerned, focus on keeping soft furnishings clean (such as couches and bedding) and also sweep and vacuum often to keep pollen from making its way through your home.
If you really struggle with allergies, consider getting new, dedicated filters for your home’s filtration system. Don’t have one? Now is a good time to think about investing in one for your health!
Red clay
That famous Texan red clay really is something amazing, except when it’s in your bedroom and your living room, your bathroom, and so on. Whether it’s in a fine layer in your kitchen or clumped in your entryway or back door, staying on top of dirt tracking is going to be essential in Texas! Even if you don’t live near much of the clay yourself, construction zones (which we also know so much about) tend to literally bring it out. Keep on top of your sweeping and mopping, especially if you have light colors in your home.
Storm debris
When that wind starts blowing and the rains start pouring, the debris is going to make its way into your home! They’ll also make their way onto your home in the form of grit and dust. Whether you have allergies or you live in a more rural setting, keeping your home and outdoor spaces clear from storm debris is about vacuuming, wiping down windowsills, vents, and more.
