How to maintain Your luxury apartment – Live in comfort and ease!

 An apartment requires much less effort than maintaining a house, but regular upkeep is essential to ensure everything stays in good condition. Here are some tips to make maintenance less dreary and long-lasting and to make sure your apartment stays brand new for years to come.

 Get rid of clutter

 Clutter can not only affect your physical well-being but your mental health as well. Too much unnecessary equipment, furniture, storage, clothes, papers, accessories etc. can affect how one maintains and use the space productively. Not to mention it is unsightly! A sense of airiness and space is recommended for good ventilation and to prevent dust and dirt from gathering. Get rid of, recycle or gift all unnecessary clutter, in your living room, bedroom and kitchen space. Don’t forget your storage closets, this is where most of the clutter tends to hold for years on end.

 A vacuum cleaner is your apartments best friend

 A vacuum cleaner is excellent for apartments. Most luxury apartments have extensive carpeting, draperies, rugs and soft plush furniture. A vacuum cleaner of a reputable brand can halve the time you spend on cleaning drastically. Twice a week is ideal for your curtains, couches, carpets, and plush to prevent acquiring dust. Kitchens and bathrooms of course will need to be mopped at least once a week. Keep a water swiper in your bathroom and make sure to wipe it after a shower to keep the floors dry and clean. Plenty of carpeting and rugs can also keep the bathroom dry. However, these need to be washed and aired weekly to prevent mould and other nasties from forming. 

 Waste disposal 

 Most high-end apartment complexes have waste disposal methods. However, to prevent general waste from collecting have waste paper baskets in each room. They can then be gathered on the day of collection. If you have a lot of plants or want to start planting in your space, invest in a compost bin designed for smaller living space. This way you can get rid of all your kitchen refuse and make your apartment even more green and beautiful. Food items that cannot be composted or unsuitable should be contained in a separate bin and handed over during collection days. Make sure to get a bin with a tight seal to prevent unpleasant odours from circulating the kitchen space. 

 Don’t eat everywhere

 Make a rule not to eat away from the dining or kitchen table. Even though we can be extremely careful, minuscule drops of food can get left behind. Especially with kids, this can be very difficult to manage. Food particles and stains get collected over time and can invite dust and insects to start accumulating. This rule should apply to your bedroom as well. This way you will be making less of a mess. Luxury flats constantly required good maintenance due to the high-quality accessories like furniture and trimmings that should be dusted and cleaned frequently. Having some rules and discipline will make sure, the whole cleaning process is less cumbersome.

 A housekeeper

 A reliable housekeeper with experience will surely ensure everything stays nice, clean and tidy. The situation will be ideal if you can have a live-in housekeeper. If that is not an option most apartment complexes already have housekeeping services available at a cost, and these can be arranged on days you prefer. Such a service will take the pressure off the owners to tend to everything by themselves. Many Colombo apartments offer these services periodically or as per requirement, so check out places like Cinnamon Life to see what suits your needs.
