Canadian winters are messy (to say the least). Mud, slush, foot traffic…it’s a deadly combination that’ll have you scrubbing, wiping, and mopping all season long. Stains, dander, buildup..they all have an affect on air quality, cleanliness, and presentability. What can we do to keep our homes fresh and livable with all this working against us? What are the right winter cleaning products we need to have on hand? That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today!
Shepherd’s Hardware is here to help—we’ll help you revive your home from that deep (and messy) winter slumber. Here are some of our top must-have winter cleaning products available in-store today.
Winter is a unique cleaning challenge, especially up here in the Great White North. Most people would rather turn a blind eye…but we know that isn’t you! The right products can make a world of difference, and having them on hand is the difference between sparkling floors and a muddy meltdown!
Stop snow, mud, and salt in their tracks! A doormat and/or boot tray is a simple addition to any home that contains the mess and keeps your entryway clean and damage-free. It’s amazing what one simple, inexpensive product can do for your winter maintenance.
One of the consequences of all that dry winter air is the accumulation of dust. Microfiber cloths and dusters are your new best friends. They trap all that debris and keep it from circulating throughout your home—and all it takes is a quick wipe!
Road salt and ice melt are both so hard on your floors. A good quality cleaner (one designed for your specific floor type) will remove this gunky residue and protect your surface at the same time. Getting the right product is important, and our team is ready to help you find it.
With the windows closed and the heat cranked, dust tends to build up and circulate more than in summer months. Air purifiers filter out the dust and dander, while dehumidifiers prevent lingering excess moisture and mold growth.
With all the germs flying around during winter, it’s important to disinfect high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, countertops, and light switches. All-purpose sprays and wipes make this easy, and are a staple for any home to have on hand.
Want to make your home crystal clean? Remove the streaks and strides caused by higher levels of condensation during winter with a quality glass cleaner. It’s one of those small things that makes a big difference in the look and feel of each and every room.
Humidity fluctuations during winter can lead to mold growth—get on top of it with mold prevention sprays and moisture absorbers! They create a protective barrier to mold spores and help reduce humidity levels, respectively. Ideal for high moisture areas and enclosed spaces!
Having the right winter cleaning products is key, but knowing how and when to use them is another thing entirely. Here are some complementary bonus winter cleaning tips to optimize your home through these slushy times.
Entryways, hallways, and living spaces are going to be the victims of faster dirt buildup. By prioritizing the cleanliness of these areas regularly, you avoid the daunting task of a once a week (for some of us, once a month!) deep clean which nobody in the right mind looks forward to, and it takes forever!
With your heating system working overtime, dust and allergens have the opportunity to circulate more easily. Making sure your vents are clean and replacing HVAC filters regularly will improve the air quality of your home, and ensure the stress on your heating system remains at a minimum.
Too much and too little humidity both have their own set of problems. Excessive dryness causes static electricity and dry skin, while too much humidity promotes mold growth! Having a humidifier and/or dehumidifier in the right parts of your home is an important part of mitigating these problems, and our team can help you make the right choice.
