Cleaning Tips from Real Maids



Most people enjoy living in a space that is both clean and comfortable. It’s rare to find many people who enjoy the work or have the knowledge base to maintain a clean and comfortable space. Professional housekeepers were asked to complete a survey detailing their best cleaning strategies. Who knows how to better maintain a clean home than real maids that tidy up an immense number of homes each year for a living? In order to help expedite your cleaning process, check out these helpful cleaning tips.

Start at the top

The most commonly repeated tip was to begin cleaning a room at the ceiling level with dry cleaning tasks. Start with projects like dusting ceiling fans and light fixtures and vacuuming air vents. After these tasks, dry dust everything else.  This prevents you from accidentally creating gunk from dry dirt particles landing on wet cleaning products. That grime can be frustrating to deal with, and will extend your overall cleaning time.

Let it soak

Unfortunately, a little elbow grease will always be needed to make a home sparkle. But if you let particularly stubborn wet cleaning jobs soak while you clean something else, your overall cleaning time can be significantly reduced. In areas like the bathroom and kitchen, apply the appropriate cleaning solution to all the surfaces that need cleaning. Start with the projects that are easiest to clean, and by the time you get to more difficult tasks, even the most set-in dirt and grime will be lifted away with a few quick scrubs.

Set priorities

It may not always be possible to clean your entire home in one session. Real maids commonly have a preset amount of time to clean a space. When you know you’ll be unable to clean everything in the time available, prioritize accordingly. Make sure to clean the dirtiest rooms, or the areas guaranteed to receive the most traffic. Areas not commonly seen by guests, like garages and closets, can be saved for a later time. This will maximize the impact your work will have on the overall appearance of your home.

Stay focused

Lastly, make sure to keep a positive attitude and are focused on your tasks. The professional maids remind you it’s not enough to just be physically present. The best cleaning is achieved when you are in the game mentally, and have a positive attitude. Most people don’t thoroughly enjoy cleaning, but keeping a smile on while getting the job done can make the process seem to go faster. A common recommendation was to listen to music you enjoy while cleaning.
