When cleaning your house you should first start on your bedroom. Even when you don’t finish cleaning everything in one day, having a clean space to sleep in at night will remind you of all the work you did that day and motivate you for a successful day tomorrow.

I have “quick cleans” and deep cleans - a quick 15 minute tidy up makes my place look good for now. And I feel relaxed Everything is put away, dirty dishes neatly stacked etc. I keep all benches and table tops clear and the floor clear as I go. I have a messy toddler so this is ongoing. A deep clean is once a week scrubbing top to bottom inside and out

When cleaning your house start with the laundry. Sort it. Put it in the washer. You’ll have to come back to it of course, but now you’ll basically be accomplishing more at one time. Now, after you are the washer, if you have a dishwasher, load it. If not, wash those dishes! Clear the counter. Move to the living room, and pick up. Focus on putting things were they belong. Having a designated spot for everything makes it easier to put things away. Finally sweep, vacuum, & mop!! (Don’t forget about the laundry or dishes). Before you know it, they whole house is clean!

The kitchen is a good place to start... clear surfaces and put everything away. Empty the sink and wipe it clean. It’s quite a quick win but will give you pleasure to prepare your next meal without all rhe clutter.

Clear clutter first: start by minimizing number of items on each surface. The floor is a surface, too. Put it in bags or baskets and throw out as much as you can manage. Sort leftover items by category and store them somewhere sensible. To clean: empty and clean your sink/wash basin so you can work from there. Work systematically: touch up cleanest areas first and work your way to the dirtiest.

With the room that you start and end your day in—the bedroom. It is more peaceful to get rest in a room that doesn’t overwhelmingly need work. To start your day in a clean room is a morale booster.

Start in your room by making your bed or putting the clothes back in the wardrobe. You can then organise your desk. If you need to clean more than one room, just start by what you see in the room first. I hope this helped. 😊

It doesn’t matter wherever we should start. The good question isn’t’ "WHERE should I start ?" But "WHEN should I start cleaning ?" Choose the perfect time to clean to make it amusement, with music or TV. That way it is not a drudgery but something relate to personal enjoyment. I love to clean my house thanks to this method!

I focus my attention on just staying moving during my 10 minutes of tidying. So, I may start with something easier, like the bathroom. I’ll make little piles if i find items that belong in another room. And then once I’m all done with the bathroom, I’ll go to the room where my biggest pile tells me to go.

I usually start with vacuuming floors in my house, then I clean my kitchen, bathroom, other rooms and the last room that I clean is my bedroom. I want my space to clean and make as better as I can.
