A Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your House for those that do not know how!
Cleaning a house can be a bit overwhelming if you're not sure where to start or how to organize the process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean a house, along with examples and suggestions for tools you might need:
Step 1: Gather Supplies and Equipment Before you begin cleaning, make sure you have all the necessary tools and supplies. Here's a basic list:
Tools:
Broom or vacuum cleaner
Mop
Microfiber cloths or cleaning rags
Scrub brushes
Dusting tools (feather duster, microfiber duster, etc.)
Trash bags
Bucket
Cleaning Supplies:
All-purpose cleaner or multi-surface cleaner
Glass cleaner
Toilet bowl cleaner
Disinfecting wipes
Furniture polish (if applicable)
Baking soda and vinegar (for tougher cleaning tasks)
Step 2: Declutter Before you start cleaning, go through each room and remove any clutter. Put away items that are out of place, throw away trash, and gather items that need to be stored properly.
Step 3: Create a Cleaning Plan Divide your cleaning tasks into manageable chunks. You can approach it room by room or by tasks (dusting, vacuuming, etc.). For example:
Kitchen:
Wipe down countertops, appliances, and cabinets.
Clean the sink and faucet.
Sweep or vacuum the floor.
Mop the floor.
Bathroom:
Clean the toilet, sink, and countertops.
Scrub the shower or bathtub.
Wipe down mirrors and glass surfaces.
Sweep or vacuum the floor.
Mop the floor.
Bedroom/Living Room:
Dust all surfaces, including furniture and decor.
Vacuum or sweep the floors.
Clean any glass surfaces (mirrors, windows).
Straighten up furniture and pillows.
Step 4: Dusting Start from the top and work your way down. Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, shelves, and any other surfaces. Use a microfiber cloth or duster to capture dust effectively.
Step 5: Vacuuming or Sweeping Vacuum carpets and rugs, paying attention to corners and under furniture. For hard floors, sweep first to remove debris, and then use a vacuum with appropriate attachments or a microfiber mop.
Step 6: Cleaning Surfaces Use an all-purpose cleaner or appropriate cleaner for each surface (e.g., glass cleaner for glass surfaces). Wipe down countertops, appliances, and other surfaces. Don't forget to clean switches, doorknobs, and other high-touch areas.
Step 7: Bathroom Cleaning Follow the plan you created earlier for each bathroom. Pay special attention to the toilet, sink, and shower/tub. Use a toilet bowl cleaner for the toilet and appropriate cleaners for other surfaces.
Step 8: Floor Cleaning Mop hard floors with a suitable cleaner, following the instructions on the label. Make sure to rinse the mop frequently and change the water if it gets dirty. Allow the floors to dry before walking on them.
Step 9: Final Touches As a finishing touch, you can:
Empty trash cans and replace liners.
Spray some air freshener or open windows to let in fresh air.
Make beds and arrange pillows neatly.
Remember, the key is to start small and work your way through the cleaning process. Over time, you'll develop your routine and find the most efficient ways to clean your space.
