I know it's only middle of January -- but spring is just around the corner... but it's a good idea to get a jump on things.... cleaning ends up being on the bottom of our to-do list.
For many people, the tasks seem daunting, perhaps even overwhelming.
Here are some tips that will help make the job easier, from MOP-n-BUCKET Cleaning Service with over 200,000 hours of experience:
STEP 1. HAVE ALL SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT READY
CHECKLIST OF EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES
• VACUUM WITH POWER HEAD AND ATTACHMENTS
• VACUUM BAGS
• MICROFIBRE MOP
• BROOM
• DUST PAN
• BUCKET
• TOILET BRUSH
• STEP STOOL

STEP 2. TURN OFF FURNACE
Major cleaning will stir up dust. You do not want the furnace moving it around the house. This is a good time to replace / clean your furnace filters.
STEP 3. DO ONE ROOM / AREA AT A TIME
Start up high and work your way down through the house. Dust and dirt falls. Don’t start cleaning until you do step 4. (top to bottom, left-right, which ever direction you choose as long as you end up where you started)
STEP 4. PICK UP, SORT OUT, THROW AWAY
Once you have decided on the first room to clean, follow this step carefully.
You cannot clean around clutter and extra “stuff”.
Begin by removing everything from the room except large furniture.
As each item comes out, decide its fate:
Throw away items should be bagged or boxed for garbage, recycling or charity and placed to go out.
Items that are for keeping can be placed into laundry hampers.
You will clean these items after the room is cleaned – as you place them back in.
STEP 5. FOLLOW A SYSTEM TO CLEAN THE ROOM
With all the stuff out, you are ready to clean the room.
Start up high. (top -bottom)
Move around the room in one direction.
Use the dusting tool on the vacuum to get at cobwebs.
Always clean floors last.
:D we know cleaning isn't a whole lot of fun... isn't there something else you'd rather be doing?
