A quick weekly tidy keeps the house ticking over—yet every season brings its own, heavier-duty grime. Think pollen creeping into window frames, barbecue smoke clinging to upholstery, or salty grit ground into hallway carpets. That’s where a once-a-season deep clean pays dividends, safeguarding your home (and wallet) from bigger repairs later on. Below is Ultra Home Services’ roadmap for year-round sparkle, plus where our specialist teams can shoulder the toughest tasks.

🌸 Spring — The Air-Out & Allergy-Buster

Task DIY Tips When to Call Ultra

Window & track detailing Vacuum loose debris, scrub tracks with a 1:1 vinegar mix. Crusted paint or black mould in sash frames needs professional mould treatment & HEPA sanding.

Curtains & blinds refresh Machine-wash washable fabrics on cool; dust slat-blinds with microfibre. Delicate inter-lined drapes or Roman blinds benefit from our off-site dry-clean & press.

Mattress flip & vacuum Sprinkle bicarb, leave 1 hr, vacuum thoroughly. Steam extraction kills dust-mite colonies and refreshes pillow-top mattresses.

Pollen-prone carpets HEPA-vac weekly, wipe skirting. Hot-water extraction pulls trapped pollen /allergens and revives pile—ideal pre-hay-fever season.

☀️ Summer — The Sun-Bleach & BBQ-Rescue

Outdoor furniture wash-down Hose off, scrub with mild soap, dry in shade. Professional power-wash removes algae; fabric cushions can be wet-extracted & Scotch-guarded.

Oven & grill degrease Use a biodegradable, fume-free gel; soak racks overnight. Ultra’s dip-tank treatment strips carbon from detachable parts and tackles hidden fan housing.

Upholstery deodorise Light mist of white-vinegar solution, blot; air-dry. Post-BBQ smoke smells often need enzyme fogging + low-moisture upholstery cleaning.

Ceiling-fan & extractor fins Pillowcase trick to trap dust. If sticky kitchen grease resists, our degreasing & filter-change service steps in.
