Keeping Your Apartment Clean
No matter how spacious or comfortable your apartment is, it can still lose its homey appeal if you let dust, dirt, and general disarray accumulate. This article intends to guide the reader on how to keep a flat clean and orderly, especially when guests are expected.
Start by clearing your flat of all clutter that may impede the cleaning process. Make sure to remove all unnecessary items on the floors, walls, and counters. Once this is done, vacuum all the floor surfaces both hard and carpeted. Do not forget to include the kitchen and bathroom tiles as well as the underside of furniture in the living room.
Tackle the difficult areas first. When you have cleared the flooring of dust, hairs, and crumbs, use a mop or a similar cleaning tool to scrub the surfaces. Begin with the farthest parts of the room and steadily make your way towards the door. Allow it to dry. Move on to the porcelain sinks, tubs, and toilets. Treat shower and sink stains using a bleach substance.
Next, use an all-purpose cleaner to wipe off counters, bookshelves, and tables in your main room, bedroom, and hall. Apply a spray or oil conditioner on wood surfaces to make them sparkle. Make mirrors and windows gleam with spray cleaner and paper towels or cloth. After cleaning all of these, allow ample time for everything to dry.
For that final touch, wipe down everything with a dry, clean cloth or rag. This will give all your furniture and other implements that extra shine.
