How to clean your house and your flooring properly

When cleaning the house, there are some necessary things that you need to do. One of the first things that I do is to clean all of the surfaces like kitchen counters, tables, shelves, and bathroom counters. This way all the dirt that is on those surfaces, if you aren't able to pick it all up yourself and it falls on the ground, will fall on ground that you haven't cleaned yet. Therefore, you will not have to clean your flooring more than once.

The next step would be to clean the windows and mirrors, this again makes it so that the dirt and dust will fall onto the flooring that hasn't already been cleaned yet. Another good tip is to make sure to brush off the couches, chairs and other furniture, so that all of that dirt and dust will be cleaned once the flooring itself is cleaned. I like to use class cleaner to clean kitchen counters, the bathroom, mirrors, and windows. It is also a good thing to use when dusting surfaces, because this way you don't need a fancy duster to pick up the dust. One trick to make sure that your windows are streak free is to use a squeegee to clean them. This makes sure that the windows are just beautifully clean without any streaks. After cleaning wood surfaces with glass cleaner, it is a good idea to go back over them with a wood polish. This will sometimes darken or eliminate any scratches and will make the furniture look like it was bought just recently. It improves the life of the wood and can make it look brand new to guests.

Sometimes with sinks, whether it be bathroom or kitchen, and bathtubs, they can get a little stained and grimy. One trick is to instead of just cleaning it with glass cleaner, you can make a paste out of the cleaner Comet, and then spread it all over the surface and leave it there for ten or fifteen minutes, and it will bleach the whole sink area. This will also make your sinks and bathtubs look brand new.

Once you have cleaned all of these areas, it is onto cleaning the flooring. No matter what kind of flooring I have, I like to go over everything with a vacuum cleaner. This will pick up all of the dirt and dust particles. Then for wood or tile floors, I have a steam cleaner that will go over these surfaces and steam off any of the things that are actually stuck to the ground, be it liquids that have turned into stains, or even just dust that is left over from the vacuuming process. Steaming doesn't use any chemicals and it leaves the floors looking like new without any streaks that other products might leave. Of course, with carpets, steaming is not necessarily an option, unless you have a special carpet steamer. These are different from steamers that work on the wood and tile floors.
