The Best Way to Clean Your Home from Top to Bottom

While you probably dislike the job of cleaning, you still want to have a spotless house, without missing a single corner. It sometimes happens that you overlook a spot or two, but the good news is that there are ways to make sure you cover everything.

Of course, the easiest way to go about it is to book professional apartment cleaning services in Old Saybrook and the nearby areas. However, if you’d like to exercise and improve your own cleaning skills, read on to learn the best ways to keep your home entirely clean!

How to clean your house from top to bottom?

The key to a successful and efficient clean‐up is creating a plan and sticking to it all the way through. Here’s how to devise a thorough plan whether you want to clean room by room or do the whole place at once. In either case, follow this strategy and you’ll have a completely clean house before you know it.

Dusting 

Getting rid of dust comes first because you don’t want any of those tiny particles flying around after you’ve cleaned other areas. For the same reason, you should begin from the top of the room and work your way down to the floor. 

You can start from the top corners of the room, move on to the light fixtures and ceiling fans, and then slowly move to the lower surfaces. Don’t worry if some dust ends up on the floor ‐ you’ll deal with it later on.

Cleaning

At this point, it’s better to go room by room. You should prepare all the cleaning products and tools you’ll need, put them in a bucket and carry them as you go. There are two ways to make sure you’ve tackled every single thing in a room. 

Firstly, follow the top‐to‐bottom direction. Secondly, follow the left‐to‐right direction (or right‐to‐left, depending on your own preference). That way, you’ll know for sure that you’ve covered everything or that you haven’t gone over the same thing twice (because that also happens). 

When you’re creating your plan for the first time, you can do it a couple of days before the actual cleaning by walking around your home and writing down task by task in the order you’re going to clean later on. You’ll have a couple of days to add anything you might have missed.

Floors

Finally, it’s time to deal with your floors and everything that has ended up there while you were cleaning. Use your vacuum cleaner to make your carpets (but also bare areas) free from dust and other debris. In case there’s large debris on your floors, use a broom to sweep it before you start the vacuum.

When you’ve finished vacuuming, you can wash your carpets if necessary and mop the floors for the shiny finish. Just be careful that you use the appropriate solution or product depending on the type of your floor for the best results.
