Are you surprised that we’d reveal our secrets? We enjoy both cleaning and training. And we know how much our clients appreciate our service. Furthermore, sharing is beneficial. Use our house cleaning checklist to clean your home thoroughly and efficiently:
Pick up the clutter in your home, and feel free to second-guess your possessions as you go. The fewer things you have, the easier it is to store, dust, and clean them. Examine books, newspapers, magazines, furniture, old clothes and shoes in the closet, outgrown toys for the kids, and outdated laptops you’ve outgrown. Then, it’s time to recycle and donate! Turn off all ceiling fans and light bulbs as you prepare for dusting.
If you have any closets you’re scared to open, face your anxieties; it’s time to declutter and organize.
Use microfiber cloths to dust (from left to right and top to bottom). This will reduce allergies and enhance the quality of air in your home. Cobwebs can be easily removed using damp towels fastened to the ends of mops and brooms. Don’t forget to dust the tops of your doors, light fixtures, fans and picture frames. Use glass cleaner on microfiber or cotton cloth to eliminate streaks on framed images, computer monitors, and TV screens.
The next step is to vacuum. First, check if your vacuum bag is empty, and utilize the appropriate attachments. Next, vacuum the entire house’s floors and upholstered furniture.
Sweep the floors, and mop them. Start mopping at the room's far corner and work your way back toward the entrance. After completing each 4x4 foot area, rinse the mop.
