Our Cleaning Checklist

Here's what our trusted housekeepers will do for your home's standard cleaning. Your home, we treat as our home!

 LIVING ROOM

This living room checklist guides you through normal and deep-cleaning every surface in this important gathering spot. Whether you call it the living room or the family room (or have one of each), these rooms attract a lot of clutter, dust, and dirt.

1. Remove the curtains or drapes.

    Take them to the laundry room if they’re washable and launder them, or to the car if they need a trip to the dry-cleaners.

2. Start with the small things.

    Pick up items that belong in other rooms and place them in the “Elsewhere” bag/box. Set aside.
    Next, gather knickknacks, books, and other items you no longer want to keep and put them in the “Donate” box/bag. Set aside.
    Finally, pick up all trash from surfaces and under furniture, including old magazines and newspapers! Place the trash bag aside.

3. Work top to bottom.
    Dust the ceiling fan. Use the long-handled duster to do this, or try slipping a pillow case over the blade and running it back and              forth to catch the dust. Shake the dust outside.Remove artwork from the walls.
    Dust, in order: the ceiling, corners, top of window frames, walls, window sills, and then baseboards.
    Using a clean cloth, dust the artwork. Polish glass picture fronts. Return artwork to walls.

4. Move on to soft furniture.
    Remove pillows and cushions from the sofa. Take them outside and give them a good beating with a clean broom. Let them air out       while you return to work inside.

    Pull the furniture out from the wall. (Get help if you need it!) Dust the wall behind the furniture, including the baseboard.
    Using the vacuum’s upholstery attachment, vacuum the sofa and chairs. Be sure to get the back as well as the sides. Use the crevice       attachment to get into any nooks and crannies, then run the vacuum on the floor where the chair/sofa sat before returning the

     furniture to its place.Clean the sofa and chair cushions/pillows and return them to place.

5. Dust everything.

    Starting at the door and working to your left, remove every item from horizontal surfaces then start dusting everything.
    Dust fronts, backs, sides of tables.Dust knickknacks before returning them to their place.
    Remove lamp shades and dust them. Dust light bulbs and run a cloth sprayed lightly with homemade glass cleaner over the bare

    bulb — just make sure it’s cool first.Pick up electronics and dust beneath them. Dust their cords, too.

6. Give wood furniture some TLC.
    Now is a good time to remove sticky buildup from wood furniture.

    Check for, and fix scratches in your wood furniture, too.

7. Make it shine.
    Polish the wood using a homemade furniture spray.

    Clean the inside of your windows.
    Clean all other glass surfaces in the room, too.

8. Now for the vacuuming.

    Using the dust attachment to vacuum the fireplace.
    Vacuum all lampshades with the dusting attachment, too.
    Use the crevice attachment at the base of walls and heavy furniture.

    Clean the floor, moving occasional furniture and area rugs as needed. (See: How to vacuum properly.) Vacuum area rugs, too,

   then turn them over and vacuum their backs to remove ground-in dirt.

BEDROOM​

1. Start with an all-over tidy.

  Perform the tasks for a daily bedroom tidy, but don’t bother making the bed.

2. Gather what doesn’t belong in the room. 

 Collect all items that don’t belong in the bedroom and put them in one bag/box to discard. Gather up any knickknacks or other

  items you no longer want to keep. Put them in a second bag/box to donate. Pick up all trash, including any under the bed,  

     nightstand or dresser, and put it in the garbage bag. Discard.

3. Remove linens to launder. 

    Remove the drapes or curtains, which gather a frightening amount of dust over a year. Strip the bed of all linens, including pillows,     but not the mattress cover. Take everything to the laundry room if they’re washable, or to your car if they must be dry-cleaned.

4. Start dusting.

    When dusting, it’s important to work from top to bottom, left to right. This way you’re not scattering dust over surfaces you’ve

    already cleaned.Dust the ceiling fan using a long-handled duster. Alternatively, you can slide a pillow case over the blades and run

    the edge back and forth — the dust will fall right into the case.Remove any pictures from the walls and place them on the bed.

    Now, starting at the door, dust the ceiling, window moldings, around windows, walls, corners, and then baseboards.

    Using a dry microfiber cloth, dust the picture frames. Spray glass cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth and wipe the fronts of the

    pictures. Rehang.Clean the inside of the windows, then any other glass surfaces in the room.

    Dust all remaining knickknacks and pictures.Remove the shade from lamps and wipe down the light bulb with glass cleaner. (Just

    be sure the bulb is cool first.) Run the lint brush over the inside and outside of the lamp shade and return.

   Strip the mattress cover from the bed and take it to the laundry room to launder.

5. Treat your wood furniture. 

    Remove any sticky buildup on your wood furniture. Now is a good time to cover any scratches in your wood furniture, too.

6. Clean the mattress. 

    Use these instructions to remove stains and get your mattress looking new again. Otherwise, use the upholstery attachment to

    vacuum the top and sides of the mattress then Flip and rotate it and vacuum the top again.

7. Vacuum the floor. 

     If you can move furniture to vacuum beneath and behind it, do so. Use the floor attachment to get under your bed then, using the

    crevice attachment, vacuum around the base of the walls to remove dust buildup. Finally, vacuum the rest of the floor.

8. Take out the trash.

    Empty the trash can and wash it outside using 1 cup hot water, 1/2 cup white vinegar and a stiff scrub brush. Rinse well and let dry.     (Keep your trashcan clean by lining it with a plastic grocery bag, or by placing a paper towel on the bottom.) Return all items that

     belong in other rooms.

9. Launder the linens.

    Return dried drapes or curtains to the windows. Wash your linens according to the label instructions. Return them to your bed

    when they’re completely dry.

10. Freshen up. 

      Spray the room with air freshener or set out a homemade gel air freshener with your favorite scent.

Kitchen

1. Start with an empty sink. 

     Empty your sink of any dirty dishes. Either put them in the dishwasher, or hand wash them and put them away.

2. Get rid of clutter and trash.

     Put items that belong in other rooms into one box/bag and set aside. Put items you’re donating into the

     second box/bag. Use the third bag to gather all trash. 

3. Let the light in. 

    Remove all curtains and take them to the laundry room for washing (below).

4. Work top to bottom. 

    This ensures you’re not stirring up dust that will then on surfaces you’ve already cleaned.

    Using your long-handled duster, dust the ceiling fan. Since kitchen fans get greasy, it’s not a bad idea to get on your step stool and

    spray each blade with all-purpose cleaner then rub it with a microfiber cloth to remove any build-up.

    Remove any pictures or art from the wall and wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth. Polish glass picture fronts. Set on the

    table for now.

    Dust in order: the ceiling, the top of shelves, the top of window frames, the corners, the walls, the window casings and sills, the  

    cupboard fronts, and the baseboards.

    Using the glass cleaner, spray the light fixtures, windows, and other glass surfaces and wipe them dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

    Return pictures to walls.

    Using your step stool and spray bottle of cleaner, de-grease the tops of your cupboards if they don’t reach all the way to the ceiling.

5. Clean the cupboards and drawers. 

    Working one cupboard or drawer at a time, remove everything and clean the interior. Put expired spices and unwanted gadgets

    into the trash and donation bags as you work. After you’ve cleaned the inside of all the cupboards and drawers, move on to  

    cleaning the exterior, including their handles. Be sure to get the hinges, as greasy dust collects there.

6. Move on to counter tops and small appliances.

    Give the inside of the sink a quick scrub and rinse, then fill it with warm, soapy water.

    Remove everything from the counter tops. Clean the counter tops with the warm, soapy water and a microfiber cloth. Make a paste     of baking soda and water to use as a gentle abrasive on stubborn food spills.

    Before returning small appliances and other items to the counter tops, wipe them down with warm soapy water. Check their

    bottoms to find less obvious spills, too.

    If you have a microwave, boil a cup of water in it and let sit for one minute to loosen cooked-on food. Use a paste of baking soda

    and water to remove stubborn spills. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

7. Now, for the big stuff.

    Launder the kitchen curtains while you perform the following steps.

    Clean the stove top.

    Clean the oven.

    Spray and wipe down appliance fronts.

    Clean the dishwasher.

    Spring clean the refrigerator and the freezer.

    Polish any wood furniture.

    Wash the baseboards.

8. Tackle the trash can. 

    Empty the trash can and take it outside, then deep clean it.

 

9. Finishing steps.

    Return the dried curtains to the windows.

    Return the clean trash can to the kitchen.

    Sweep or vacuum the floor.

    Mop the floor.

BATHROOM

1. Get rid of what doesn’t belong in the bathroom: Put dirty clothes and towels in the hamper.

    Gather anything that belongs in another room and put it in the clutter box. Throw trash into the bag.

2. Empty the room: Remove everything from the vanity, tub surround, shelves, back of the toilet tank, etc.

    Take any rugs to the  laundry room and start them in the washing machine.

3. Empty the cabinets and drawers one at a time.

    Put trash into the bag and any items that belong elsewhere into the clutter box.  

    After you’ve emptied each section, wipe it clean with a microfiber cloth dipped in hot, soapy water before returning the contents

    neatly.

4. Clean the fans and vents: Get on the step stool and carefully remove the fan vent covers.

    Wash them in hot, soapy water and dry them with a clean, lint-free cloth. Before returning the cover, wipe down the fan blades

    with a dry cloth.

5. Get dusting: Using a long-handled cleaning tool to dust — in order — the ceiling, the top of window frames, the corners, the walls,  

     the window casings and sills, any shelves and then the baseboards.

6. Pre-clean other surfaces: Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust, grime and hair from the vanity, faucets, and tub surround, tub/shower

    floor, toilet tank and toilet pedestal. (This makes it easier to clean them with disinfectant later.)

7. Remove the shower curtain and liner, if any.

    Tackle the soap scum in the shower and tub by spraying them thoroughly with a homemade soap scum remover. Let that sit while

    you continue working.

8. Spray the vanity, sinks and outside of the toilet with homemade disinfecting cleaner.

    Let that sit.

9. Clean the wood fixtures using a cloth dipped in hot, soapy water.

    Work top to bottom to clean the crown molding, door jambs, window sills, doors (both sides), counter and drawer fronts, and

    baseboards.

10. Rinse the disinfected surfaces of your vanity, sinks, and then the toilet with a clean cloth dipped in hot water.

11. Rinse the shower/tub well. If needed, clean the grout.

12. Flush the toilet then sprinkle baking soda in the bowl. Scrub, then pour in 1/2 cup white vinegar.

      Flush when foaming subsides and follow with 1/2 cup of my disinfecting bathroom spray. Let sit.

13. Clear the floor: move the clutter box outside of the door and take the trash bag to the garbage can.

14. Sweep or, if you prefer, use the floor attachment on your vacuum to get up all of the lint and grime.

      If you have a tiled floor, clean that grout.

15. Mop using a homemade floor cleaner.

       Let dry.

16. Clean the trash can outside using these steps

17. Polish the shiny stuff: clean the mirror, shine the faucets and towel racks, and give the toilet paper holder a good cleaning, too.

18. Finish up by flushing the toilet, hanging fresh towels, returning the laundered floor mats to their place,

      hanging the clean shower  curtain and returning the dry trash can to its place.
