• Clean Top to Bottom Always start with higher surfaces (shelves, counters, light fixtures) and work your way down. This prevents dust and debris from falling onto already-cleaned areas.
• Use the Right Products for Each Surface Different surfaces require different care. Using surface-appropriate cleaners protects finishes and delivers better results without damage.
• Declutter Before You Clean Removing unnecessary items first allows for faster, more thorough cleaning and creates a more organized, stress-free space.
• Focus on High-Touch Areas Regularly disinfect frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, keyboards, and handles to help reduce the spread of germs.
• Clean a Little, Consistently Small, routine cleanings prevent buildup and make deep cleaning faster and more effective over time.
• Let Products Do the Work Allow cleaners to sit for a few minutes before wiping. This improves effectiveness and reduces scrubbing time.
Additional Cleaning Tips & Strategies
