The month of Ramadan is nearing its end, and the time has come to prepare the house for Eid al-Fitr, and the house may need an urgent plan for deep cleaning, and despite the difficulty of the matter, there are some ideas and tools that will contribute to finishing cleaning the house in a few hours, and with the least possible effort.
Cleaning your mattress is an essential step
Assuming you wash your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets regularly, now is the time to clean the mattress.
To wash the mattress, use the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to suck out dust, dirt and hair particles, then use upholstery cleaner to remove stains and odors.
You can also use baking soda with a sprinkle of a few drops of essential oil, leave it for an hour, then vacuum again.
Remove dust and lint from upholstery

Use a damp cloth to clean the base of the lamp (lampshades), and make sure to use the appropriate detergent for the base of the lamp, whether it is metal, wooden, or porcelain.
Kitchen cleaning
The kitchen room is the dirtiest during the past weeks, perhaps because it is most used in preparing food and banquets, even if it is limited this year.
