The Professional Cleaning Routine
- Declutter First
Remove items that don’t belong in each room. This makes cleaning faster and more effective.
- Dust from Top to Bottom
Start with ceiling fans and shelves, then work your way down to surfaces and baseboards. This prevents dust from resettling on already-cleaned areas.
- Clean Surfaces and Fixtures
Wipe down countertops, tables, and frequently touched areas like light switches and door handles. Use a disinfectant for high-touch spots.
- Tackle Floors Last
- Vacuum carpets and rugs.
- Sweep and mop hard floors.
Pro tip: Clean floors last to catch any dust or debris that’s fallen during earlier steps.
