Here are some ways to get rid of cobwebs from your house

A delay of one or two days in cleaning your home may allow cobwebs to accumulate in every corner of the house. Even in a house that is maintained daily, it can give the impression of neglect. Moreover, both small and large cobwebs accumulate dirt and dust, which takes away the beauty of the house. However, there are several easy methods to reduce the frequency of cobweb formation and to eliminate those that are already present.

To easily remove cobwebs
One can effortlessly remove the cobwebs from the nooks and corners of your home with a paint roller and double-sided tape. Begin by applying the double-sided tape to both sides of the sponge on the paint roller. Gently roll the brush over the areas where cobwebs are present. The cobwebs will adhere to the tape without leaving any residue behind. Make sure not to apply excessive pressure while rolling the brush to prevent the tape from sticking to the paint.

You can make a tool for removing cobwebs by wrapping a microfiber cloth around a long stick. It is best to wrap the cloth around one end of the stick. Tie it tightly with a rubber band or string to ensure it remains in place. It is useful for cleaning not only cobwebs but also for cleaning dirt and dust from the corners where the walls intersect.

Ways to avoid cobwebs

• To prevent the formation of cobwebs, it is essential to first consider measures to keep spiders away from the house. Odours such as peppermint, citrus, vinegar, and tea tree oil are unpleasant to spiders. These can be applied in locations prone to cobweb accumulation. Cobwebs are often found in excess in areas that are not regularly cleaned. In these locations, a mixture of peppermint or vinegar diluted with water should be sprayed.
• Most of the insects often enter the house through cracks near doors and windows. If you see their presence, it is advisable to seal these gaps promptly.
• Spiders make cobwebs in areas where items are accumulated. Therefore, it is advisable to store items that are not used regularly in the storeroom without piling up. It is also recommended to clear out corners and stacks of items at least once every week or two to effectively remove any cobwebs.
• White light like tube light attracts more spiders and insects. So it is advised to use warm light at least outside your homes.
• Crush some cloves and combine them with water in a spray bottle. For areas where cobwebs tend to accumulate, apply this mixture directly onto the cobwebs.
