This tips make great practice for elongating the effect of your professional clean with a company like Allsorts Sorted.

Living Room

1. Clear the Clutter: Start by quickly decluttering the space. Gather loose items such as remotes, magazines, and toys, and place them in designated storage baskets or organisers. This will instantly create a more organised and spacious living room.

2. Dust and Wipe Surfaces: Use a microfibre cloth or a duster to swiftly remove dust from surfaces like coffee tables, shelves, and entertainment units. For a quick wipe-down, use a multi-surface cleaner to tackle smudges and fingerprints.

3. Vacuum Efficiently: Opt for a cordless vacuum or a lightweight model for easy manoeuvrability. Focus on high-traffic areas, under furniture, and along skirting boards. To save time, use the crevice tool to quickly clean the edges of the room.

4. Refresh Upholstery and Cushions: Give your living room a quick refresh by plumping up cushions and using a fabric freshener to eliminate odours. Use a lint roller to remove pet hair from upholstery, and spot-clean any spills or stains on your furniture.

Kitchen

1. Clear and Wipe Countertops: Remove any clutter from your kitchen countertops, placing items in their designated spots or storage areas. Wipe down the surfaces using a multi-purpose cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar for a quick and effective clean.

2. Tackle the Sink and Appliances: Quickly scrub your sink using a mild abrasive cleaner or baking soda and rinse thoroughly. Wipe down appliances, such as the hob, microwave, and refrigerator, using appropriate cleaning solutions or wipes.

3. Speedy Dishwashing: If you have a dishwasher, quickly gather and load dirty dishes, cutlery, and glassware. While the dishwasher is running, wipe down the dining table and chairs, and sweep or vacuum any crumbs on the floor.

4. Shine Your Stainless Steel: To bring back the lustre of stainless steel appliances, use a microfibre cloth and a specialised stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Buff away fingerprints and smudges for a sparkling finish.

Bedroom

1. Make Your Bed: Start by making your bed quickly, straightening the sheets, plumping up pillows, and arranging any throw blankets. This simple task will instantly transform the appearance of your bedroom.

2. Tidy Up Surfaces: Clear off bedside tables, dressers, and other surfaces by returning items to their designated places. Use a microfibre cloth and a gentle cleaner to wipe down surfaces, including mirrors and picture frames.

3. Sort Laundry: Quickly gather any dirty laundry and place them in a laundry basket or hamper. If you have a few minutes to spare, start a load of laundry to keep it running while you clean other areas of the house.

4. Vacuum with Precision: Focus on the middle of the room and the edges where dust tends to accumulate. Move furniture slightly to access hard-to-reach areas. Pay extra attention to under the bed, where dust and debris often accumulate.

Bathroom

1. Speedy Sink and Mirror Clean: Spray a bathroom cleaner or a vinegar-water mixture on the sink, tap, and countertop. Wipe with a microfibre cloth, ensuring you remove any toothpaste or soap residue. Use glass cleaner for the mirror, wiping it down for a streak-free shine.

2. Toilet and Shower Quick Clean: Apply a toilet cleaner and scrub the bowl with a toilet brush. While the cleaner sits, quickly spray a shower cleaner or vinegar-water solution on the shower walls and bath. Use a sponge or brush to scrub away grime, then rinse well.

3. Freshen Up Towels and Mats: Replace used towels with fresh ones and give your bath mats a quick shake or put them into the wash if needed. This will instantly make your bathroom feel more inviting and clean.

4. Floor Clean-up: Use a broom or a cordless vacuum to quickly sweep or clean the bathroom floor. Pay attention to corners and around the base of the toilet. For a deeper clean, mop the floor with a mild cleaner or vinegar-water solution.
