“When I do a deep clean of any room, I start at the top and work my way down,” says Maryland-based cleaning expert Arryn Wilmington. “This helps me keep track of my cleaning, and makes sure that I wipe up any extra products as I go.” Start at the top with light fixtures, shower fixtures, and mirrors. Work your way down to countertops, sinks, and toilets. Finally, scrub and clean the floor, shower, or tub. You can use an all-purpose cleaner for all surfaces or specific-use cleaners, such as a toilet bowl or shower cleaner, for their respective areas. It is a good idea to use specific products for the messiest areas.
