Cleaning order matters: Housekeeping tips

When you're ready for a big cleaning day, you need to know the cleaning order first.

It helps you to keep everything clean without making previously cleaned things dirty again while you're cleaning the others. 

Here are a few tips on how to clean your house in the right order.

Declutter your place first

First, go through each room and put away items that don't belong there. This makes cleaning easier.

Dusting goes next

Dust surfaces from top to bottom. Start with high shelves and work your way down to tables and countertops.

Vacuum and sweep the debris

After dusting, vacuum carpets and rugs. Then, sweep or mop hard floors. This way, any dust or dirt that falls gets cleaned up.

Wipe the surfaces around

Use a damp cloth or cleaning spray to clean surfaces like countertops, tables, and appliances. Don't forget doorknobs and light switches, which can harbor germs.

Make the glass surfaces clean

Use a glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar to clean windows and mirrors.

It's time to clean the dirtiest rooms

These areas often need extra attention. Clean sinks, toilets, and showers. Also, wipe down kitchen appliances, the stovetop, and the inside of the microwave.

Now check your bedrooms

Change bed linens and make the beds. Straighten up dressers and nightstands.

Living room goes last

Arrange furniture and fluff pillows and cushions.

Floors Last: Finally, vacuum or mop the floors again. This picks up any dirt or crumbs left behind during cleaning.

Conclusion

To keep everything clean, start with the walls and upper surfaces, then clean your floors. Do it regularly to keep your house clean and nice!
