How to clean a room

Tidy and Organized

Pick up things that are littered all over the place, newspapers, cloths, magazines and other tidbits. You don’t want to be constantly starting and stopping, with the vacuum cleaner to move things out of the way or to pick up trash. Cleaning is already a chore most people do not want to do and starting and stopping frequently just draws the energy out of you. By tidying up first, you have already taken care of the hard stuff, providing you a structured and organized approach to cleaning your home and ensuring that you clean at a regular sustainable pace.

Before you start tidying up the room, grab a light plastic bin and throw all your cleaning products inside it. Cleaning agents like rags, furniture polish, carpet cleaner and re-fresheners, antibacterial spray, window cleaner etc. Also bring a trash bag with you as you go from room to room, or just grab an empty grocery bag. Just throw your dirty wipes or the little trash you pick up into the bag to save you from going back and forth to the trash bin in the kitchen.

Make sure you have the right sprays and wipes that are adequate for the job. You do not want to spend time trying to get a dirty spot out and at the end of your effort; the dirty spot is still there. Always use superior products for your cleaning, so that the little time you have for cleaning is not wasted. You do not want to be re-cleaning when you should have moved on to another room to clean.

After you are done picking up stuff from the floor, moving things to the right place; that is, you are done with tidying, then the cleaning starts. The best approach is to start from the top and work your way down. That is, from the ceiling down to the floor.

Getting the cobwebs out of the corners of the ceiling and dusting the top book shelves first, and working down to lower furniture accordingly, almost always guarantees that the last place to clean will be the floor. All you have to do is pick up stuff that might be too big for the vacuum cleaner to pick up, before you run the vaccum cleaner or if it’s a hard floor, you use your broom and dust pan before you do the finishing touches, shinning or buffing.

Whenever I stay in a nice hotel, I always like how neat and tidy the hotel room is. I leave the room untidy, go out for my business for the day, come back and it’s all nice and neat again. I have tried many times to replicate the type of professional cleaning done in hotels at my own place and it’s harder than professional cleaners make it out to be.
