House Cleaning Check List
Nooks, crannies, edges and spiderwebs. Cleaning is a chore, but this checklist will help you as you go about tackling your cleaning tasks.
To make the job easy follow these cleaning tips to make short work of the chores.
Stay focused on the task that you are doing, concentrate so you don't have to backtrack. Make every move count, to complete the cleaning quickly.
When you enter a room, start cleaning at the top then the bottom. Work from the back to the front and left to right as you are moving your way around the area.
Clean only one area at a time, and clean the area thoroughly to avoid backtracking.
Use a bucket or basket to carry your cleaning supplies with you so you don't have to stop what you are doing to go find the right cleaning product.
You should always do the dusting first then do the vacuuming. Begin your dusting from the highest place in the room such as the shelves and top of the cabinets, moving further and further lower as you move along.
The dust you have disturbed will settle on the floor, where you can easily vacuum it away. Dusting with a damp rag vs a feather duster will pick up more dust on the cleaning rag and keep it from becoming airborne.
This house cleaning checklist will assist you in getting job done efficiently to help you spend your time doing the things you most enjoy.
