1. Start with a Whole-Home Declutter

Before the scrubbing starts, clear the clutter. Go room by room and make three piles: keep, donate, and trash. This frees up space, clears your mind, and helps you clean more efficiently. Less stuff = less dust.

2. Clean Top to Bottom, Left to Right

Professional cleaners always clean high to low. Dust ceiling fans and shelves first, then hit countertops, furniture, and floors last. Cleaning left to right in each room keeps you from backtracking or missing spots.

3. Focus on Forgotten Zones

It’s easy to miss the areas you don’t see every day — but that’s where dirt builds up fast. Don’t forget to hit:

Baseboards & crown molding
Behind and under furniture
Inside kitchen appliances
Air vents and HVAC filters
Window tracks and blinds

4. Use the Right Products

Use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for kids and pets. Microfiber cloths, baking soda, vinegar, and all-purpose disinfecting sprays are go-to tools. A steam mop is a great investment for deep floor sanitizing.

5. When in Doubt, Call the Pros

Some jobs are better left to professionals — especially deep carpet cleans, post-construction cleanups, and big move-out jobs. At Lava Cleaners, we specialize in making homes feel fresh, stress-free, and truly spotless.
