Start Top to Bottom – Always clean from the ceiling down (ceiling fans, shelves, counters, then floors) so dust doesn’t settle on areas you’ve already cleaned.

Declutter First – Pick up clothes, toys, and random items before cleaning to make the process faster and more effective.

Use Microfiber Cloths – They trap dust and dirt better than paper towels or cotton rags, and they don’t leave streaks.

One Room at a Time – Focus on finishing one room before moving to the next so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Keep Supplies Handy – Store basic cleaning products in a caddy or basket so you can carry them from room to room.

Vacuum Slowly – Move the vacuum slowly to allow it to pick up more dirt and dust instead of rushing.

Tackle High-Touch Areas – Regularly disinfect doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and handles to keep germs away.

Use Baking Soda & Vinegar – Great for deodorizing drains, removing stains, and cutting through grease naturally.

Make the Bed Daily – A made bed instantly makes the whole bedroom look cleaner and tidier.

Set a Timer – Clean in 15–20 minute bursts; it keeps you motivated and prevents burnout.
