O Get Organized
Eliminate clutter in each room before cleaning. Use 4 box method: keep, donate, sell or toss.

Wash windows on a cloudy day to avoid streaks. Wipe out sliding door tracks.
O Clean Overlooked Surfaces
Wash baseboards, door frames and walls if needed, with warm soapy water.
O Deep-Clean Carpets
Hire a professional carpet cleaner or rent a deep cleaner to wash carpets.
O Clean Under Large Items
Lift furniture and roll up area rugs before vacuuming floors. Also, vacuum behind and under kitchen appliances.
O Dust Light Fixtures
Use a microfiber cloth to dust fixtures and light bulbs. Don’t forget to dust ceiling fans and blades.

Vacuum curtains and draperies with an upholstery attachment.
