A Smarter Way to Clean - Part 2

A few days ago, we sent you an email woth Part 1. This is part two. These are smarter ways to make cleaning your home that much easier. Clean hard, relax harder.

1 - Clean what you clean with.

We stress the importance of cleaning what you clean with. To clean your house properly, your cleaning tools must be clean before you even start using them. This is basic logic that can be done easily. You'll end up spending more time trying to clean your house if you don't clean your tools beforehand.

2 - Start at the top

The recommended plan of attack? Top-to-bottom, left-to-right. It's a good strategy when you are not sure how to begin. For each task, start at the highest point in the room (if dusting, this might mean high shelves), and move from left to right across the room. This way, you don't miss anything, and you won't accidentally knock dust onto already-cleaned lower shelves. Pro Tip: Look up top. People don't always dust up on the very top of furniture, and that's where all the dust collects and then falls off.

3 - Sweep & Mop

Sweep, then mop or scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors, and any other floor that needs it. You may want to vacuum first if you have lots of bits that you don't want to get caught on your mop. For the bathroom floor: always do bathroom floors on my hands and knees with a microfiber cloth and cleanser. That's how to know that we got every corner, even behind toilets, and that they're 100% disinfected.
