Learn how to clean your living room from the top to the bottom and relax in a tidy environment that shines brightly with our expert cleaning guide.
- Collect Cleaning Supplies
Gathering supplies will help you save time and prepare for a serious mission. You may need microfibers, furniture polish, a duster, a vacuum cleaner, a stain remover, a mop, and a bucket set of tools for the hard floors.
- Put All The Items In Their Places
Before cleaning, make sure everything is tidy. Rectify all stray items, articles, and objects that shouldn’t be in there, send them to their proper residencies, and rearrange bookshelves and coffee tables.
- Organize Throws
Pick up the clothes and neatly organize them by folding them or putting them in the laundry room to be cleaned.
- Vacuum Or Sweep Beforehand
If you forgot to vacuum or sweep, you’ll have to mop through exposed dirt and debris, which will surely get even muddier after contact with water.
- Make Beds And Change Sheets
The mere presence of a bed with clean linens and set with beautiful pillowcases can bring about an inner sense of peace. Wipe the frame and bed head with the dry multi-surface towel. Or lightly dampen the towel in warm water, whether wood or metal. Place the fitted sheet and finish up nicely.
- Clean The Upholstery
Remove the seat cushions and vacuum couches, seating, and armchairs first. Use a vacuum on low-setting or handhelds for rugs and upholstery with taut fabric. Avoid rubbing too hard to remove any light marks or dirt from linen or velvet.
- Attend To Detail In Every Sphere
Not only baseboards, air vents, and light fixtures but all flat surfaces are important places to remember to disinfect.
- Ensure Proper Ventilation
Keep the doors and windows wide open, or leave the fans on. The tiny brown fumes are removed from the room, freshening the air inside.
- Clean The Floors At Last
After cleaning your furniture and rugs, it’s time to clean the floor properly. Vacuum the hardwood floors or laminated floors with a spin mop. Let it dry thoroughly before placing the carpets.
If you want to avoid illness, make sure you clean safely.
