If you’ve got an upstairs bathroom – that’s where you should start cleaning your house...
Lisa Romero, owner of Just Like New Cleaning, says that’s where the pros usually start because it’s the most logical place to store the cleaning supplies. Lisa says to clean Top-to-bottom, left-to-right. Start at the highest point in the room for each task. Here’s a good routine to clean:
• Step 1: Dusting. Start at the top of the room and don’t forget the underside of things, dust collects there too.
• Step 2: Fabric. Strip and remake beds; neaten pillows or furniture blankets.
• Step 3: Mirrors and Glass. Using one wet and one dry microfiber cloth won’t leave streaks.
• Step 4: Surfaces. Wipe down counters, door handles, light switches, TV remotes and phones.
• Step 5: Bathrooms. Walk through your house and spray cleaner on tubs, sinks and toilets – then go back and start scrubbing.
• Step 6: Floors. Sweep, then mop or scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors.
• Step 7: Vacuum. Don’t worry about getting every inch - you’ll get the spots you missed next week.
This is what people should always be reminded of. You see, most people do cleaning once a month. And the long gap between every cleaning session means more work, and it can get a little overwhelming at times. Dividing the cleaning task into increments would make it easier to finish, and that would also allow you to finish earlier overall.
ReplyDeleteWell said Guy. Here's another trick I wrote about for people like me who get overwhelmed: Take a picture of an area with your phone. Take a good, long look at it, make a plan, and tackle that area. Take an after shot if it helps, it can be very rewarding.
DeleteThese are good step-by-step tips on how to clean efficiently. We should really start from the top and see to it that there will be no falling debris or dust before we proceed to another section to clean: the middle part. The linen, beds, sofa and all other furniture are in this section. Dust them off or change covers. After that, time to proceed to the bottom area: the floor. After removing all the dust and dirt from the middle and the top sections, sweep off the floor and vacuum it.
