Living Areas & Bedrooms
- Dust Everything: Start from the top (ceiling fans, light fixtures) and work your way down to avoid doubling your work.
- Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs: Vacuum first, then consider steam cleaning for a thorough refresh.
- Wipe Down Walls and Baseboards: Use a damp cloth and gentle cleaner to remove dust and scuffs.
- Rotate and Vacuum Mattresses: This extends their lifespan and ensures even wear.
