Cleaning homes can take a lot of time but managing your time in such a way that you would be able to clean a large area for a short period would allow you to clean more rooms or more homes in a day. This would allow your business to gain more profit. Several tips on how to clean more area in less time and the specifics in cleaning the different areas of the house in the most efficient way are discussed in this article.
You should start cleaning at rooms found at the corners of the house such as bathrooms and bedrooms and clean the kitchens and living rooms last. This routine is most efficient since the living room and kitchen are usually found at the center of the house and leaving dirt when passing through these areas is likely to happen. Thus, they would eventually get dirty again after some time and it would be a waste of time if these areas were cleaned first.
Preparing all your cleaning materials before starting should also be done. This includes preparing diluted cleaning solutions before going to the first home you are about to clean. The materials that you are using should be of nice quality and the cleaning solutions should not be home made. Since your cleaning materials are your only investment, ensuring that you have the best and trusted cleaning materials will also ensure the satisfaction of your clients with the quality of your cleaning. The microfibers that you will use should be color-coded to prevent leaving more dirt to surfaces. Finally, placing all your materials in one container would also allow you to work with ease.
Once inside a room, the cleaning should be done in a circular pattern to be able to clean everything. When cleaning racks or cabinets, it should be done from top to bottom. It should be remembered that the dust particles can drop from the top racks and cleaning the other way around would lead you re-cleaning previously dusted areas which is not a productive way of using your cleaning time wisely. Going back again to rooms or areas you have previously cleaned should be avoided as this is also time consuming.
When cleaning the bathroom, the first thing to do is to place cleaning solution into the toilet bowl. Do not rinse it yet but allow it to do its own work while you clean the tub or the shower area. After cleaning the shower area, the toilet should be rinsed and then the sinks and counters should be cleaned accordingly. Cleaning the soap dishes and walls are also necessary. Lastly, the floor must be swept and mopped.
When cleaning bedrooms or the living room, dusting the furniture is the first thing to do. The room should be vacuumed thoroughly. Furniture should be moved if necessary to clean the corners or the hidden areas.
Lastly, in cleaning the kitchen, the appliances at the top of the counters should be wiped first. These appliances include microwaves and toasters. The top of the stove should then be cleaned with disinfectant. Cleaning under the appliances should be done after wiping the countertops. After which the large appliances and the sink should be cleaned accordingly. The floor should then be swept and mopped.
After cleaning a home, inspecting your tools should be done to know if they are still in good condition or if they should be replaced. Cleaning with equipments in good shape would allow you to clean more quickly.
The above reminders would allow you to work more efficiently and cover more homes in a day. This does not only allow you to earn more profit but would also give your business a good reputation – cleaning at a fast rate with good results.
