Preparation is the key to a faster and more efficient house cleaning experience. Pre-cleaning is as important as the actual cleaning. It does not only help you be faster during house cleaning, but also allow you to achieve better results. In this article, we will be giving a cleaning guide how and what to prepare before starting house cleaning. You can follow these tips whether you are doing the cleaning yourself or you are preparing for the arrival of cleaning professionals.

Bathroom

The essential cleaning materials for bathroom and toilet are as follows: small scrubber, long-reach scrubber, grout brush, toilet bowl cleaner, disinfectant, and bathroom cleaning solution. You can prepare these if you are doing the cleaning yourself. But if you are prepping for the cleaning professionals, these won’t be necessary.

Before cleaning the bathroom, remove all the trash like used tissue and soap scum. Clear off the tank, toilet tub, sink and vanity. Put all your bathroom essentials in one container like a basket so you can easily arrange them back after your cleaning session. Taking off these products will make it easier for you to clean all the surfaces and corners of the bathroom. One more thing, switch off your lights hours before cleaning as they might explode on contact when you clean the bulbs and the nearby areas. This simple bathroom pre-cleaning guide will definitely make the cleaning more efficient.

Kitchen

See to it first that you have the basic essentials for cleaning kitchen. Some of the basic things you should prepare are all-purpose surface cleaner, dishwashing liquid, stainless steel cleaner, rags, paper towels, microfiber cloths, scrub brush, bottle brushes, cleaning bucket and dish gloves. Again, if you are just preparing the kitchen for the cleaning professionals, you can do away with these materials especially if the professionals will bring their own materials.

The most important kitchen pre-cleaning guide that you must remember is to clear the surface with any clutter or mess. Remove the papers, pens, keys, sunglasses and other things lying around in the countertop, sink, floor, table and other parts of the kitchen. Put the unusable things straight into the trash and place the usable ones in a separate container so you can easily put them back where you got them. It also makes the cleaning work faster and more efficient if you remove the appliances such as stove, toasters and oven. That way, you can move more freely when scrubbing the counter or sink, or cleaning other kitchen surfaces.

Bedroom

To efficiently clean your bedroom, you must first clear off the floor and other surface. If you have dirty clothes lying around, make sure that you put them in the hamper. You must also pick up the trash. Remove the books, magazines, playthings and other stuff in your bedside table, floor and bed and place them in a temporary container. You can arrange them back after your cleaning session. This allows the cleaners or yourself to vacuum and clean the baseboards, windows, floors and other parts of your bedroom more freely and efficiently.
