Rules and principles of house cleaning
When doing housework, observe the following principles in order.
Sweeping → Dusting → Spraying → Disinfecting → Scenting the air in the house with air freshener → Reopening the windows
Be careful not to damage the surface when cleaning or dusting. To do this, you should use dusting tools and suitable cleaners and be careful with sensitive objects.
You should start the house cleaning process from the innermost part of the house and continue towards the outer parts.
Water stains and spider webs are among the things that should be removed as soon as they are seen.
Dusters are great for cleaning curtains, picture frames, corners and other places. Don’t use a vacuum to deal with dust in small spots unless you have to.
High cabinets are more susceptible to grease absorption. To clean kitchen cabinets, use a cleaner with orange oil to better deal with grease. You can also use regular dishwashing liquid to remove grease.
If mineral deposits from hard water have stained your plumbing and faucets, do not clean them with a brush or a dishwashing wire. Such tools can scratch your faucets. Instead, use white vinegar. Pour some vinegar on a clean cloth and turn on the faucets.
Start at the top and work your way down. Also, cleaning from left to right ensures that you clean the entire room without missing a single spot.

House cleaning planning rules
When planning for the cleaning of different parts of the house, the following principles and rules should be followed.
Determine the duration of your program
Before you start planning your housework, you need to determine the duration of your cleaning schedule. Will your cleaning schedule be daily, weekly or monthly? The most common length of time for a house cleaning program is 4 weeks or a month, in which you can do all the main household tasks and manage the daily tasks in a better way.
List your tasks
In your home cleaning schedule, make a list of everything you think you will need to clean. Your list should be compatible with the specific features and needs of your home.
Determine the frequency of tasks
To determine how often you need to do a particular task, think about what is reasonable and doable for you. If you have a guest room that is not being used, it may be enough to dust it once a month. There may be things that you do at most once a year or a few times a year. Preferably, put these works in the program at the beginning of autumn and spring.
Assign specific tasks to specific days
If you are busy on a certain day of the week, don’t schedule any housework for that day. Do what works best for your life situation.
Write the plan in writing
You can save your home cleaning schedule as you like. It is suggested that after preparing a suitable monthly or weekly table, print it as many times as you want and install it on the wall.
Stick to it
It is easier said than done. The hardest part is sticking to the plan you set for yourself. To motivate yourself, put some money in a jar every day you don’t do your tasks and use this money as savings.
