HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOME

Clean the entire house, not just a single room.

Instead of cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and then bedrooms, it is far more effective to choose one task (such as dusting, vacuuming, or mopping) and do it in every room of the house. By doing it that way, you won't experience the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending cleaning cycle where you keep starting the same work.

 

Put all of your cleaning equipment in a caddy.

Having everything you need for cleaning in one portable location, whether it be a caddy, bucket, or tote, makes the task much simpler. While cleaning, you won't have to spend time looking for tools  and you won't have to worry about collecting them before your next round.

 

Vacuum and dust

Make sure ceiling fans are off before you begin dusting. Dust furniture's tops and the undersides of shelves, as well as handrails, picture frames, trinkets, and TV screens. Tie a microfiber cloth to the end of a mop or broom for difficult-to-reach places like blinds and upper shelves. Before you vacuum, change the linens in the bedrooms.

 

Surfaces and counters should be cleaned.

Go through your home and wipe down all  the hard surfaces, including doorknobs, light switches, TV remotes, cabinets, worktops, appliances, and telephones. Some of those surfaces need to be cleaned, especially the ones that might contact people's faces and fingers. Mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup of white or apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water to create a non-toxic disinfecting solution.

 

Concentrate on toilets, sinks, and baths

Before cleaning the bathroom sinks, tubs, and toilets, spray cleanser on the kitchen sink. So that the cleaner has time to remove grime and stains, let it sit for a while. Then go back to the kitchen and begin cleaning. Don't forget to clean the microwave's interior. Clean bathrooms come last.

 

Sweeping and mopping

Clean the flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. Avoid mopping yourself into a corner by beginning at the farthest corner of the room and working your way back toward the doorway. Every time you finish a 4-by-4-foot space, rinse the mop.

Move around while vacuuming.

When vacuuming, don't worry about getting into every nook and corner. Simply proceed through the house, using the vacuum in each carpeted room, in a single pass.

Not all jobs must be completed every week. These consist of washing bath mats and area rugs, in addition to cleaning the windows and waxing the furniture. Examine these items and exercise your own discretion.

 

Remember to regularly wash your cleaning supplies.

Maintaining your cleaning supplies is a step that is frequently skipped when cleaning the house. It is far less efficient to clean with a dirty mop or a vacuum that has a full bag, and you'll wind up cleaning for longer.

 

Clean windows and mirrors.

To clean all the mirrors and glass surfaces, use one moist microfiber cloth and one dry cloth.

 

Make scrubbing a communal endeavor.

One of the easiest methods to clean a house quickly is to make cleaning a team activity. With your family, set a time in advance, and allocate jobs to each member. Cleaning may be made more enjoyable by working together, and your home will be spotless in no time.
