Enter any Malaysian house and you will be surprised to find that the majority of them believe that their houses are pretty clean. However, when we posed 50 Malaysians on the dirtiest place in their homes the results were eye-opening. People learned that their cleaning habits harbor hidden messes beginning with the forgotten shoe racks up to the back of the ceiling fans. And that is where deep house cleaning services can play the most significant role to play – addressing those places that all of us ignore until it is too late.
The Filthy Areas No One Wants to Discuss.
As we were counting responses, there were repeated responses. The most common culprit? Behind the fridge. Malaysians confessed that they seldom disturb heavy appliances, i.e. years of dust, food fragments and grease silently accumulate there. This does not only attract pests but also may block fridge coils forcing machines to work harder and use more power.
The other common response was to the bathroom ceiling. The humid climate in Malaysia means that the condensation accumulates very fast and the ventilation in most of the bathrooms is not good. This eventually provides the ideal moulding environment. Unattended, the mould is capable of spreading on tiles and ceilings causing bad odors and even breathing difficulties.
The third most discussed area was the shoe rack – a very dirty area that is disregarded by many. Daily use is likely to make it one of the dustiest areas of the home with mud, sweat, and bacteria. The respondents reported that frequent wiping was not quite making any difference because the smell and dirt would always return after a few days.
Why Deep House Cleaning Services Are Different.
The majority believe that hygiene is maintained by sweeping, mopping and wiping on a regular basis. However, these are superficial duties that do not tend to address those areas of concern that the respondents have pointed out. The professional cleaners have industrial grade equipment that helps them in the process of getting under the appliances, removing mould on the ceiling, and cleaning porous surfaces such as shoe racks and fabric sofas. This method of cleaning is particularly necessary in urban Malaysian households where there is little space, poor ventilation, and dust builds up more quickly.
A deep clean is designed to eliminate allergens, grease formation, and bacteria that are impossible to get rid of using a regular routine. This is very essential in cases of families with young children or aged individuals that can have a weak immune system. It is not only the beauty but health and long-term care.
What this Survey Can Teach Malaysians.
Something larger was also evident in the responses: most of us do not pay enough attention to how much grime collects in the out of sight places. Mattresses and upholstery which were hardly mentioned by the respondents but were a primary cause of allergic response by dust mite. Equally, window tracks and AC filters are rarely cleaned, which results in poor air quality in buildings.
The positive thing is that they are not unsolvable issues. The difference can be dramatic when one spends a few hours every few months and does a reset either alone or with the help of a professional. Fresh start gives one more chances to stick to daily hygiene, and it keeps homes cleaner longer, and even smelling better.
Going Forward
This mini- survey demonstrates that even those individuals who believe that they live in clean houses are usually residing in an environment that contains undetected dirt. Not only is it about embarrassment when visitors arrive, it is also about avoiding mould, pests and poor indoor air. One of the best methods to ensure your living space remains really clean and healthy is to invest in the services of a deep house cleaning periodically.
Imagine the places you have not touched in a long time: under the couch, on top of kitchen cabinets, inside windowsills, etc. Addressing those areas that are not given attention even once or twice a year can change the house atmosphere. And when life becomes unmanageable, knowing that someone will come and take care of those hard to access spots, you get that peace of mind that nothing is hiding in the corners.
