Avoid giving the impression your house is decorated for Halloween year-round with these hints.
- Cobwebs - there is a difference between a cobweb and a spider web. Cobwebs are stickier, meaning they trap dust, dirt, and debris in your home’s air. Spiders also don’t like dusty webs, so they move on to a new home and leave you with a sticky remanent.
- No matter the web, you probably don’t want these reminders of Halloween around your house. Check the corners of rooms, along the edges of ceilings, and on the sides of walls. Don’t forget the outside like under the porch or the overhangs of your roof.
- Using a broom or a vacuum to remove the web is a great option. Outside, you can wash it away with a water hose. - Monsters Under The Bed - Or, more like dust bunnies. Keep these predators away by cleaning under your bed at least once a month. You’ll want to start by clearing out the clutter, then use a duster with a handle, a vacuum with attachments, or move your bed all together.
- Hair of a Black Cat or Werewolf - If your residence is home to non-human species, you deal with the dreadful moltings of these creatures on your furniture, clothing, in your car, and HVAC system. Vanquish the wicked hair of an animal with rubber gloves, sponges, lint brushes, brooms, and vacuums. (For other tricks, visit this Dogtime article)
- Skeletons In Your Closet - Your closet could be a dark, scary place depending on how much you’ve stocked away. Open the doors and assess what lays before you. These closet preparation tips still hold true, but don’t forget to try everything on and donate what isn’t in style or doesn’t fit anymore.
Having any one of these might be acceptable for creaky, old houses, they have no place in your house or apartment. Accent Maid Service can help you keep on top of these frightful reminders of Halloween.
