Seasonal Cleaning with the HYLA EST: Preparing Your Home for Winter

As the cold winter months approach, our homes become a sanctuary from the chilly winds and frosty mornings. It’s the time of year when we spend more time indoors, cozying up with hot drinks and warm blankets. But before we settle in for the season, it's important to prepare our homes for winter by giving them a deep clean. This not only helps create a welcoming atmosphere but also ensures a healthier living environment during a time when ventilation is limited.

Using the HYLA EST, a highly efficient air and room cleaning system, makes seasonal cleaning easier and more effective. Its unique water-based filtration system not only removes dust and dirt from your home but also cleans the air, making it an essential tool for preparing your home for winter. Here’s a comprehensive guide to getting your home winter-ready with the HYLA EST.

1. Start with the Floors

As winter approaches, dirt, moisture, and debris from outside can easily get tracked into your home, especially if you live in an area prone to snow or rain. The HYLA EST excels at cleaning both carpets and hard floors by effectively removing dirt and dust without the need for traditional vacuum bags, which can harbor allergens.

How to Clean with HYLA EST:

• For carpets: Use the carpet cleaning attachment to deep clean the fibers, removing dirt, pet hair, and dust mites that can accumulate over time. The HYLA EST’s suction power will lift debris trapped deep within the carpet, ensuring a fresh, allergen-free surface.
• For hard floors: Attach the hard floor tool to gently but effectively remove dirt and grime. The HYLA EST’s water-based filtration ensures that dust particles are captured and not just recirculated into the air.

Bonus Tip: Place mats at entryways and regularly clean them using the HYLA to reduce the amount of outdoor dirt being tracked inside.

2. Clean and Freshen Up Upholstery

Winter is a time when we often cozy up on sofas, armchairs, and other upholstered furniture. However, these items can collect dust, allergens, and odors over time. Regular cleaning is essential, especially as we spend more time indoors during the colder months.

How to Clean Upholstery with HYLA EST:

• Use the upholstery tool to remove dirt, crumbs, pet dander, and dust from furniture fabrics. The powerful suction combined with the HYLA's water filtration ensures that allergens are trapped and removed.
• For a deeper clean, utilize the HYLA Nimbus’s wet cleaning function to gently refresh upholstery, leaving it clean and odor-free.

Bonus Tip: Finish by using the HYLA EST’s air cleaning mode to eliminate any lingering odors in the room and leave a fresh, clean scent.

3. Tackle Dust in Hard-to-Reach Areas

Wintertime often means closed windows and doors, which can result in more dust settling on surfaces around the home. Dust buildup can contribute to poor indoor air quality, exacerbating allergies and respiratory issues. The HYLA EST’s versatile attachments make it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas like ceiling fans, vents, and behind furniture.

How to Use HYLA EST for Dusting:

• Use the telescopic wand and dusting brush attachment to clean areas like ceiling fans, crown molding, and high shelves.
• Don’t forget to dust behind and underneath furniture, where dust often collects unnoticed.
• The HYLA EST’s water filtration system ensures that dust is trapped in the water and not released back into the air, making your dusting efforts more effective.

4. Clean Windows and Window Treatments

Windows let in natural light during the shorter winter days, but they can also accumulate dust, fingerprints, and grime. Window treatments like curtains and blinds are often overlooked during regular cleaning, but they can harbor dust and allergens.

How to Clean Windows and Window Treatments:

• Use the HYLA EST’s window washing attachment to easily remove streaks and smudges from windows, ensuring that they’re crystal clear to let in as much light as possible.
• For curtains and drapes, use the HYLA’s upholstery tool to remove dust without damaging delicate fabrics. For blinds, use the dusting brush to clean each slat effectively.

5. Clean the Air in Your Home

With winter comes increased indoor activity and less ventilation, which can lead to a buildup of dust, allergens, and other pollutants in the air. The HYLA EST’s air cleaning feature is a game changer for maintaining clean, healthy indoor air during the winter months.

How to Clean the Air with HYLA EST:

• Run the HYLA EST in air cleaning mode to circulate air through its water filtration system. This helps remove airborne particles like dust, pet dander, and even harmful pollutants, leaving the air in your home cleaner and fresher.
• Use the HYLA’s air cleaning mode, and add a touch of essential oils to the water, filling your home with a calming, seasonal scent like cinnamon or pine.

6. Deep Clean Your Mattress and Bedding

Winter is a time for snuggling up in bed, so it’s important to ensure that your mattress and bedding are clean and fresh. Dust mites and allergens can accumulate in mattresses, contributing to poor sleep quality and allergic reactions.

How to Deep Clean with HYLA EST:

• Use the HYLA’s power brush to remove dust mites, dead skin cells, and allergens from your mattress. The HYLA EST’s powerful suction combined with its water filtration system ensures a deep clean, leaving your mattress fresh and ready for winter.
• Don’t forget to wash bedding, including pillowcases, sheets, and blankets, and use the HYLA EST to freshen up pillows and comforters.
