Clear-out is not always pleasant, but extremely necessary. If you carefully clean the apartment once a month, then the rest of the time you just need to maintain cleanliness. How to make spring cleaning the most efficient, while spending a minimum of time?
Of course, starting a general cleaning, hoping for an early conclusion is hopelessly stupid. First of all, send your family to the beach, go for a walk, ski or visit your mother-in-law, in general, look at the situation, it is unlikely that there will be a lot of help from them, but give it away - they will distract them.
Then look around, sort through old things, books, magazines and souvenirs. And those that are no longer in demand, throw it away, give it away, exchange it for more needed ones or sell it. You should not regret cute trinkets, firstly, dust accumulates on them, and secondly, it is quite possible that someone needs them. Unnecessary clothes and shoes can be taken to a shelter or an orphanage.
Cleaning is best started from the kitchen. If there are curtains, immediately removable and send them to the washing machine. If it has not been defrosted for a long time, put the refrigerator on defrost, wipe the ceilings and walls from dust and cobwebs, while not forgetting about chandeliers and lamps. Now move on to the kitchen cabinets. It is necessary to review all cereals and groceries in them, throw away products with an expired city, and check the rest for bugs and midges. When the products are disassembled, you can start washing the cabinets themselves, do not ignore the doors and handles.
The stove and oven are cleaned using special tools. Now it’s the turn of the dishes: wash pots and pans with a greasy coating with a grease remover. Ceramic and porcelain dishes can be boiled in a bucket or a large pan with soda.
Usually by this time the refrigerator is already thawing, we wash the unit and remove all the food products into it, be sure to wipe the door and the sides.
If the kitchen has a microwave, slow cooker and other devices, do not forget to wipe them. Last of all, wash my windows and floors.
Next, go to the bedroom. Here, too, have to work hard, sort through all the cabinets, seasonal items and shoes to move closer, and temporarily remove unnecessary to the far shelves. Going through the clothes, do not forget to wipe the shelves and cabinet doors.
We examine the ceiling and walls for dust and cobwebs, knock out carpets and curtains, or if necessary change them to another set.
Then we remove the bedding, leave it for washing, knock out mattresses and pillows, shake out the blankets and bedspreads. Vacuuming carpets, skirting boards and exposed areas of the floor. Once every six months you need to do with a special disinfectant. The carpet can also be passed with a damp cloth and a cleaner for upholstered furniture.
If there are children in the house, ask them to remove their toys and books in advance, this will greatly facilitate the task. Well, and then actually all the same manipulations that it is in the bedroom.
In the living room, we clean as follows: we knock out and vacuum the upholstered furniture, clean the carpets and curtains, and then do a wet cleaning.
We pass into the bathroom. We remove from the shelves all the jars, bottles and shampoos, wipe the containers themselves and the shelves on which they stood. We wipe the ceilings, this can be done with the help of a special mop, and then we remove soap stains from the tile, a means for cleaning windows can do this task. Then wash the bath and toilet and move on to cleaning the floor.
Next, we remove the hallway, remove dust from all surfaces, hide unnecessary shoes and clothes for long-term storage. We shake out the door mat on the street or vacuum it thoroughly. We finish the cleaning by mopping.
Of course, such a large-scale cleaning is difficult to do in one day, so you can divide it into several, planning a certain room for a day.
