The arrival of the monsoon brings along excitement and pleasant weather after months of summer heat. However, the rainy season does present a few problems too. Heavy showers result in the spread of diseases, dirt and filth around us which we may bring home with us despite our best intentions. It is thus crucial to be extra vigilant and careful to maintain cleanliness at home during the monsoon.
Changing a few habits, and developing a proper cleaning routine during the rainy season can help you and your family stay safe, healthy and free from any illnesses. Taking proper care to store and wash soiled clothes, keeping the floor and other surfaces around the house clean and germ-free and ensuring the damp regions of the home stay mould and fungus free are some of the imperative things that must be on your monsoon cleaning list.
Here are a few basic steps and tips that will help you keep your home clean and safe during the monsoon so that your loved ones can stay healthy, and happy.
- Use a quality floor cleaner: The right floor cleaner liquid can be of great service in your endeavours to keep the floor germ-free, clean and fragrant. Our footwear, feet and other clothes bring in a lot of dirt, mud and germs with them when we venture outside during the monsoon. Using a quality floor cleaner liquid with advanced microbial action such as Nimyle Herbal Floor Cleaner can help keep your home safe and clean.

Surfaces that come into contact with a lot of people are prone to being hotbeds for germ transmission. This includes surfaces such as shoe racks, door knobs, umbrella stands, tables, wash basins, laundry baskets and other high traffic zones inside our homes.

- Keep laundry basket clean and dry: During the monsoon, it is impossible to avoid getting drenched in the rains. However, one must take additional care to keep the laundry basket and washing machine dry and not allow wet and soiled clothes to accumulate. Germs and bacteria fester in such wet conditions. Therefore, in order to keep germs and foul odours at bay, one must keep the laundry basket and washing machine clean and dry.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the house: The dampness during monsoon can not only cause an unpleasant smell but also allow mould and fungi to grow. Proper ventilation around the house ensures that all the corners and other damp spots remain dry. If required, take additional measures to keep corners and other spots such as the bathroom, wash basin, kitchen sink etc dry and free from mould and fungi.
These basic measures can go a long way if you are trying to keep your home clean and safe during the monsoon season. Using an effective floor cleaner liquid, surface disinfectant spray and other measures are simple and easy to follow for a germ-free, and happy home.
