Thorough cleaning of
home can be quite a daunting and tiring task and it is
always best to have a rough plan in mind, if your
don't want to waste any efforts and time in the
process or miss 'the' spot while doing all the hard
work on your own. Here are some practical suggestions
from us that you will find useful:
An appropriate cleaner for the job is a great
help while cleaning. Try to use the least abrasive ones at
first as abrasive ones may damage porcelain toilet bowls and
scrubbing too hard may cause grooves that become difficult to
clean later. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions while using abrasive cleaners for your safety.
Before trying to get into corners and worry
about details, it is best to start with what you can see at
first.
Clean from top to bottom, so that when you
dust the edge of the ceilings and bookcases and it settles on
the floor, you do not have to clean it again. Floor should be
swept last.
Follow a system of cleaning left to right or
vice-versa so you can be sure that you don't miss anything.
Keep a big box and a trash bag close at hand.
All the small items that you may find while cleaning and would
like to keep can be kept in the box while all things that are
now useless to you can be dumped into the trash bag.
Make sure that you keep your cleaning
supplies in the cabinets that get locked automatically and out
of reach of your children and pets, as it can be injurious to
their health, if ingested.
While rags are most common choice for
dusting, vacuum cleaners today come with appendages that can
reach into the tightest corners, ceiling edges, fans and
window sills and suck all the dust in.
