Hiring The Right Spring Cleaning Company This Hari Raya

Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore celebrates an exciting event called Hari Raya Puasa just in time for the end of Ramadan. This Day of Celebration calls for a lot of preparation including serious cleaning all over one’s home.

What is Hari Raya?

The culmination of Ramadan is a big celebration called the Hari Raya. This celebration is a big event for Malaysian and Singaporean Muslims. It is also celebrated as “Eid al Fitr” in other Muslim nations. On this special day, Muslims go to prayer early in the morning then pay their respect on the graves of their departed loved ones. In the evening, they will go to the mosque and recite prayers again.

People buy and wear new clothes during that day. They also prepare their homes by cleaning it thoroughly, decorating and preparing a big feast for the whole family.

The day of the celebration changes every year as it counted to fall on the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, on the first day of Shawwal.

House Preparations and Spring Cleaning

Most homes will be opened up to receive guests and relatives. They will take over bedrooms, living rooms and other possible areas of the house. This is why it is very important to prepare the home and start a spring cleaning to ensure that all is well once they start arriving.

A few weeks before the celebration, spring cleaning can take place and anything that needs to be fixed should be attended to right away. For instance, a leaky roof should be repaired and ripped upholstery on chairs or safe should be repaired. If the walls look dull, then apply a fresh coat of paint to spruce it up. It is important to have a clean, neat and tidy home what will make the guest feel warmly welcomed.

Here are a few tips that might help you prepare the home for Hari Raya

· Clean every all nooks and corner. Homeowners may seek a professional spring cleaning company to do the vacuuming and mopping of all floors up to the tiniest corners. There are cleaning companies that are aware of the demands of cleaning in relation to the Hari Raya celebration. They know that they have to deal with big areas as well as the little things as well. Included in their cleaning are door handles, light switches, and even the cabinets.

· 

· Deep cleaning the appliance is also needed before the celebration. There might be a need to take out every bit of the oven and wash them separately. The microwave oven may also need a bit of attention. Use lemon water to achieve a nice smell or use baking soda to rid your appliance of any foul odors.

· Kitchen drawers should be cleaned of any crumbs and dirt. They are often overlooked and they have an accumulation of food items. Take out everything and give the drawers a thorough lean before putting them back. If there are items that you haven’t used for some time, it might be best to discard them now.

· Cleaning the windows is best achieved by using old newspapers, a few drops of glass cleaning liquid and a lot of scrubbing effort.  Make them shine and clean like there is no glass in the frame.

· Dust is the worst enemy of cleaners during spring cleaning. It can build up no matter how often you wipe them off. Using a small vacuum brush, remove cobwebs, dirt, and dust from all surfaces around the house. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean any excess. Remember to check everything including the ceiling and wall fans.

Preparing the Kitchens

Aside from the deep spring cleaning that ensues before the Hari Raya celebration, the kitchen will also be a very busy place in the house. There will be lots of cooking and food preparation during the Hari Raya period. It is important to keep everything in place. Stock on food staples and use the quality kitchen and dish cleaners to make the most of your limited time in washing everything that is needed for cooking and preparation.

Ask for Help When Needed

Spring cleaning is a very meticulous, back-breaking and tiring job. It is not a job for just one person to complete. If there are several people in the house, delegate them to areas or a specific task such as cleaning the bedrooms or vacuuming the living and dining room. Direct members of the family to clean each of their rooms too for decluttering and organizing their own things.

Those who have plenty of other things to attend to and have limited time for cleaning may hire a spring cleaning company for the Hari Raya celebration.  Just make sure that you start cleaning weeks beforehand so that everything will be prepared before the Day of the Celebration arrives.
