Clean Your Home Fast with the Right Order

You're busy, and finding time to clean can be challenging. One of the best tips we can offer is knowing the right order to clean your home. Spoiler alert: dusting should always come first! Read on to discover why and learn how to achieve a spotless home without the frustration.

Dusting Comes First

Start your cleaning routine with dusting. Dust has a sneaky way of settling on every surface, from shelves and countertops to electronics and picture frames. If you vacuum or mop first and dust afterward, you'll end up with dust settling on your freshly cleaned floors and surfaces. Using a microfiber cloth or a duster, gently wipe down all surfaces, starting from the highest points (like shelves and ceiling fans) and working your way down. This method ensures that any dust that falls will be cleaned up in the next steps.

Vacuuming

Once you've dusted, it's time to tackle the floors. Vacuuming should come next, capturing all the dust and debris that have settled on the ground.

Wiping and Scrubbing

With the dust and debris taken care of, you can now focus on wiping down surfaces and scrubbing where necessary. This step includes cleaning countertops, sinks, bathroom fixtures, and any other surfaces that need a bit more attention. Use eco-friendly cleaning solutions to ensure you're not introducing harmful chemicals into your home. Remember to rinse and dry these surfaces thoroughly to prevent streaks and residue.

Mopping

The final step in your cleaning routine is mopping. This ensures that any remaining dust or dirt is completely removed, leaving your floors spotless. Use a damp microfiber mop and an eco-friendly floor cleaner for the best results. Mopping last guarantees that your floors stay clean and shiny, free from any dust that may have settled during previous steps.
