How to Clean Sandy Floors & Sticky Countertops Like a Pro This Summer
Expert Home Cleaning Tips from Tina’s Clean Team – Proudly Serving New Jersey
Summer in New Jersey brings sunshine, beach trips, and unfortunately — sandy floors from the shore and sticky surfaces. If your home feels less-than-fresh during these warmer months, you’re not alone. At Tina’s Clean Team, we specialize in helping busy homeowners keep things spotless, even through the messiest season.
Here’s our step-by-step guide to cleaning two of summer’s biggest culprits: sandy floors and sticky countertops.
🧹 How to Clean Sandy Floors (Especially in Beach Homes)
Living near the Jersey Shore? Sand gets everywhere. Here’s how to remove it without damaging your floors:
Sweep First – Use a broom or dry mop to remove surface sand.
Vacuum with Hard Floor Setting – Avoid carpet modes that can scratch floors.
Damp Mop with Cleaner – A mix of warm water and a gentle cleaner works best.
Rinse and Dry Thoroughly – Don’t let water sit on hardwood or laminate.
Prevent Sand Build-Up – Place mats inside and outside all entry doors.
🧼 Pro Tip: Our RoutineCare+ clients in shore towns like Ocean City and Avalon love our sand-specific floor routines — and they never have to lift a mop.
🧽 How to Clean Sticky Countertops
Whether it’s melted popsicles, sunscreen residue, or just summer cooking chaos, here’s how to bring your countertops back to life:
Clear the Surface – Remove all clutter and wipe away debris.
Spray with Soapy Water – Use warm water and dish soap.
Let Sit for 2–3 Minutes – This loosens stubborn grime.
Wipe with Microfiber – Always use a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
Optional Sealant – Consider sealing granite or stone once a season.
🧼 Pro Tip: Sticky surfaces can attract ants and bacteria. Regular deep cleaning keeps your kitchen hygienic and summer-ready.
