Areas that Deep House Cleaning Can Help the Elderly

As our loved ones start to get older, tasks that used to feel very basic can start to feel overwhelming. Regular cleaning starts to fall through the cracks. Some areas that may prove to be difficult as health problems and frailty starts to play a role in our loves one’s lives include:
• Cleaning Appliances – Giving a stove and oven a deep cleaning can be a large undertaking for senior citizens. Cleaning refrigerators and microwaves might also be difficult.
• Scrubbing Baseboards & Trim – Bending over and getting down on the ground is incredibly difficult for your elderly loved ones.
• Polishing & Dusting – If there is any silverware or tea sets that need polishing, they might fall to the wayside when it is difficult to get the bare minimum done during the day. Dust starts to build up and it may be helpful to have someone take care of that.
• Organizing Cupboards & Closets – Every now and then it feels good to clean out closets and cupboards that have been forgotten for long periods of time.
