Deep cleaning an overwhelming, messy home can feel like an impossible task. As such, Steve reiterates that decluttering is the first thing you should do, in order to make a deep clean as straightforward as possible.
“Many of have a serious issue with having excessive clutter in our homes, and it makes no sense to deep clean thousands of items that we don’t care for anymore. So first of all, declutter your home. I like the KonMari method, but really there are many different strategies," he said.
Aside from this, creating a list of what to tackle – and in what order – can also be incredibly useful when dealing with an overwhelmed, messy house.
"The best piece of advice that I can think of is to create a list of what you need to incorporate in a deep clean," Alessandro said. Again, this will vary for every home - so write down your non-negotiables, and be sure to prioritize the tasks that will make the biggest impact on your day-to-day living.
