1. It’s time to declutter.
Assess your living room and check which items are not in its proper place. Start putting things back where they belong one by one.
It’s an arduous process so if you can, ask for help from your family. If it’s still disorganized after that, consider investing in shelves and other storage units (that still fit your theme and decor) to hide unwanted items from plain sight.
This is an easy way to make the whole room look tidy.
2. Vacuum or sweep.
It’s time to get your vacuum and run it all over your carpet or floor to get all the crumbs and other particles that get stuck in there. Make sure to do this as often as possible.
Make sure to get the floor under the sofa and furniture. Vacuums usually have different attachments to get into the tightest spaces in the room, so take advantage of that.
If you have wooden floors, you can run a mop over the whole floor to make it shine.
A pro tip would be to invest in a handheld vacuum to quickly pick up fur from your pets or any crumbs from your snacking sessions.
By the way, here are some professionals you can hire for maintaining your carpeted floors in Calgary:
