Where dirt hides in a tropical home
In Davao's climate, dust and grime settle fast in window tracks, ceiling corners and behind furniture. When you deep clean, start high and work down so falling dust lands on surfaces you clean last. Do not forget door frames and baseboards, which show grime quickly.
Tackling kitchen grease the right way
Grease builds up on stove hoods, tiles and cabinet fronts. Warm soapy water loosens most of it, but a degreasing agent left to sit for a few minutes does the heavy lifting. Wipe in one direction and rinse well so no sticky residue remains to attract dust.
Making your deep clean last
A deep clean is an investment, so protect it. Use doormats, take shoes off indoors, and do quick daily wipe-downs of counters and sinks. These simple habits stretch the freshness for weeks and reduce how often you need intensive cleaning.
