When life gets busy, keeping your entire home spotless can feel overwhelming. But the good news? You don’t have to tackle it all at once. With the right approach, you can break your cleaning routine down into manageable sections – one room at a time. That’s where our room cleaning guide comes in. Whether you’re preparing for guests, resetting your space for the week, or just keeping things under control, this guide will help you clean smarter, not harder.
1. Kitchen: Clear, clean & sanitise.
Start with the heart of the home. Begin by clearing countertops, loading the dishwasher, and wiping down surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner. Don’t forget high-touch areas like cupboard handles, the fridge door, and appliance buttons. Sweep and mop the floors last so you’re not redoing work.
2. Living Room: Tidy & refresh.
Declutter surfaces like coffee tables and TV stands, then dust shelves and electronics. Vacuum the couch and fluff the cushions – you’ll be surprised how much dust and crumbs collect in soft furnishings. A quick wipe of the windows and mirrors adds an instant sparkle.
3. Bedrooms: Reset for rest.
Change the linen, dust bedside tables, and tidy any visible clutter. Use a damp cloth to wipe skirtings and door handles. Vacuuming or sweeping the floors will give the room a fresh feel and help improve sleep by reducing allergens.
4. Bathrooms: Deep clean, fast.
This area can be done quickly with the right tools. Use a disinfectant for the toilet and sink, and a mildew remover or vinegar solution for the shower or tub. Wipe down mirrors, restock toilet paper and soap, and empty the bin.
5. Bonus Tip: Maintain as you go.
Instead of waiting for mess to pile up, use this room cleaning guide in bite-sized chunks throughout the week. For example, do the bathroom on Mondays, the living room on Wednesdays, and the kitchen on Fridays – whatever fits your schedule.
