Cleaning floors and windows are the two most time-consuming tasks in a home and we all know how precious time can be in our busy lives and careers. One of the reasons for this is that these are the largest areas of a house. Today we will show you how to maximize cleaning efficiency at home so you can focus on yourself and your work as you want.

What is part of the big cleaning?

For heavy cleaning, a general rule applies: allow enough time and determine beforehand what to clean.

By adopting a systematic approach, you will save time. It is best to clean the parts one after the other. It is recommended to work from top to bottom in the following order: first remove dust from cabinet surfaces, tables, window, and plants. In a second step, vacuum the furniture and upholstered furniture.

Finally, clean the floor. Outside, it is recommended that you wipe the car and garden furniture before putting you on the terrace and entrance.

This way, you will avoid double work. Great cleaning is also an excellent opportunity to throw away the things you no longer need. Also, allow time to clear and clean the garage.

  • hand dishwashing liquid,
  • scrubbing cream,
  • window cleaner,
  • acidic cleaner, preferably citric acid-based.

In addition to useful detergents, a few handy tools should be available, including a shovel and broom to prevent dirt on small surfaces. A mop and bucket are also needed to wipe the floors. Sponges are well suited to remove dust. The duster should not be missing either.
