We’ve all been in a situation where being in a hotel room or watching a cleaning service clean your house has made us realize that we’ve been doing it all wrong. But trust us, a proper cleaning method isn’t as challenging as it sounds.


 If you’re already motivated to start organizing your home spaces and launder it to the core, the first step would be to buy appropriate cleaning equipment. Cleaning enthusiasts at Clean 4 Happy, suggest comparing cleaning equipment and buying the best for excellent results. Purchasing an adequate set of cleaning tools depending on the type of area you want to clean can ensure a speckless space.

 To ease your stress in buying equipment, we’ve provided a checklist to assure that you’re thoroughly covered. You will need:

 • A medium-sized vacuum cleaner
• Microfiber cloth pieces
• A mop
• A scrubber
• Lots of sponges
• Water container
• A bristle broom
• Cleaning detergents
• Wipers
• A washing machine, a dryer, and a dishwasher are expected to be present.

 Now that you’re all set with the right tools, you can follow this step-by-step guide to warrant proper cleaning:

Step 1: Dusting

The first step is to remove all the accumulated dust and dirt on floors, glass surfaces, shelves, and all objects. Don’t leave even a single furniture piece, screens, or tabletops. The best way to clean it is to use a microfiber cloth. It cleans all spots, including fingerprints.

Step 2: Gather All Fabric and Clean It

All the fabric and cloth pieces in your house such as rugs, curtains, bedsheets, sofa and chair linens, tablecloths and thin mattresses need to be gathered and washed properly. A lot of dust and bacteria can get trapped and accumulate within the micro-holes of fabric, that can dull the shine and make it unhygienic. Cleaning all household fabric at least once in two weeks keeps the environment more hygienic. Also, it feels amazing to use fresh linens that smell good.

Step 3: Mop Major Surfaces

Once your fabric and linens are in the washing machine brightening away their dullness, it’s time to clean major surfaces such as floors and walls. Start by vacuuming the tiniest and farthest corners of every room in your house. Depending on the paint or material used on your walls, scrub away all visible stains with a suitable scrubber. Using an appropriate disinfectant detergent, mop the floor surfaces and then dry mop it to avoid stickiness. Finish with wiping off all surfaces like staircases, tabletops, furniture, hardware and smaller objects like TV remotes, device surfaces, and light switches.

Step 4: Check for Mirror and Glass Surface Spots

Certain detergents and disinfectants specialize in cleaning glass surfaces by leaving them spotlessly clean. Make sure to cover all glass windows, doors, bathroom panels, mirrors, and glass tabletops. A useful tip is to clean the glass with microfiber cloth pieces that won’t leave any fingerprints.

Step 5: Target Specific Spaces

Areas such as your bathroom and kitchen need to be specifically cleaned because these areas are prone to bacteria development and odor. These can lead to diseases and infections. If your family consists of children or elderly people, you need to specifically make sure that these areas are always kept clean. In your kitchen, start by cleaning the stove, inner and outer surfaces of the microwave, the platform, cabinets, appliances, openings, and shelves. Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink and take out all trash regularly as it produces foul smells. Scrub the floors and wipe the furniture. Don’t forget the chimney and sink.

 Coming to your bathroom, you need to thoroughly clean the bathtub, shower panel, toilet, and basin. Make sure to properly disinfect the floor and corners to avoid bacteria growth. Hang a room freshener to keep the area smelling fresh.
