Guide to Room by Room Cleaning & Care

Kitchen Guide:

• Wash and wax wood floors.

• Mop vinyl floors.

• Clean out the refrigerator and pantry.

• Change shelf liners.

• Straighten out the "junk" drawer.

• Wipe down cabinets.

Bathroom Guide:

• Wash windows inside and out with a squeegee and dust-free cloths.

• Dust the windowsill.

• Vacuum the window well.

Window treatments:

• Vacuum draperies.

• Wash blinds.

• Replace heavy draperies with lightweight or sheer curtains for a fresh look.

Furniture Guide:

• Polish wood furniture.

• Vacuum between cushions.

• Clean behind and under sofas and cabinets.

Closets Guide:

• Assemble seldom-worn clothes and donate to charity.

• Vacuum floors.

• Dust shelves.

• Hang cedar blocks to freshen and prevent moths.

Clean as You Go:

• If it’s dirty – don’t wait another week to tackle the project. It takes less time to remove fresh dirt than caked-on dirt.

• Have all family members make their own beds.

• Keep a hamper in every bathroom for dirty clothes. Remind your family that if they make a habit of regularly putting away their clothes or belongings, that there will be more time later for enjoyable activities.

• Before bedtime, pick up the family room and run the dishwasher. Get a fresh start each day.

Floors:

• Sprinkle baking soda on your carpeting and leave it on overnight to absorb musty odors.

• Vacuum in the morning.

• Buy industrial-style "walk-off" mats for all entrances to cut down on tracked-in dirt.
