To clean effectively, we start by decluttering to clear surfaces, then dust from top to bottom, including ceiling fans and baseboards. We sweep hard floors to remove debris. Clean windows and mirrors with a glass cleaner to avoid streaks. Disinfect high-touch areas like doorknobs and light switches. In the bathroom, scrub the toilet, sink, and shower, and mop the floor. In the kitchen, clean countertops, stovetops, and appliances, and wipe down cabinets. Finally, mop the floors, moving from the farthest corner to the exit, and finish by replacing moved items, and taking out the trash.
