Residential cleaning services are a standard with many working families. It is a necessity to help keep the home in order and day-to-day living obstacles in check. Many busy parents can attest that a clean home makes daily chores much more bearable. The few standards that must be followed by any company hired are bathrooms, bedrooms, common areas, kitchens and floors.

Bathrooms are the starting point as they can be the most time consuming and difficult. A good all-purpose cleaner with bacteria-fighting agents goes a long way to making a bathroom sparkle. For soap scum, a good scrub brush and elbow grease will conquer and leave a clean feeling. Residential house cleaners will start with the shower/tub area and finish with the toilets and floors. This will help to avoid spreading any germs the toilet may be hiding.

The next step in residential cleaning would be to tidy up the living areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms. The home does not appear clean when beds are unmade and blankets and toys are tossed about. Once this step is completed they must dust the walls, ceiling fans, beds, tables, desks and other wood and surface areas. Starting at the top of the room and working down will allow for an overall finish and this will add to the cleanliness of the room.

The second to last area to be cleaned is the kitchen (disinfecting and cleaning all surfaces). Once this is completed, the floor is cleaned. The reason for doing the floor last is because you have worked from top to bottom and whether it be carpet, hardwood or other floor surfaces. This will help the cleaners move out of the home without moving dirt and germs across the rooms. It allows homeowners to walk into a freshly cleaned home.
