So, you have decided to clean your house but you don’t clean your house professionally as it is meant to be. Let me share my experience, last year I was in a hotel so a maid came in to clean the house so I was watching her and she used some kind of solution and after two minutes she used a cleaning cloth and just by wiping it was shining and sparkling and I thought I spend an hour to clean my house but even after then I don’t get the result that she gets. I asked her what she has used so she too he told that it was Butcher’s Bath Mate—an industry standby.
We have cleaned our house many times but now I will tell you how to do it professionally as it consumes less time and the result is extraordinary. pro cleaners have many tricks so we asked some to school us and after some acknowledgment, I will tell you briefly in an easy way.

Clean Surfaces
After this, your next task is to clean every counter and surface of your house. Wear disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning, If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection. Clean surfaces using soap and water, then use disinfectant. Cleaning with soap and water reduces the number of germs, dirt, and impurities on the surface. Spray liberally on surfaces and wipe clean with a soft cleaning cloth. Generally speaking, all you need is a little all-purpose cleaner.

The next step is to clean the kitchen from top to bottom, Clear clutter off your counters Empty the dishwasher and the dish drainer, and wash dishes. Dust the tops of the fridge and cabinets. Clean small appliances Clean anything else that stays out on your counters. Scrub down the exterior of your stove and oven. Wipe down your counters. Deep clean your sink. Instructions on intensely cleaning the kitchen in your home. Use the kitchen checklist to give you a deep-down clean.
Clean the Bathroom
Stop Moisture. Keep showers dry to stave off mildew and mold by hanging a squeegee in the showerhead for the family to use after they bathe. Use Water Repellent, Clean the Sink, Clean the Toilet. Clean the Drains, Clean the Tub, Clean the Showerhead. pour vinegar or baking soda down the drain and rinse with hot water. Use disinfecting wipes for the handles and faucets in order to prevent the transfer of bacteria from other parts of the bathroom (like the toilet). Use floss to clean the base, where the faucet and taps are flush with the sink.
Clean Floors
For weekly cleaning, use Reichert’s spritz-and-dry mop technique to keep tile floors looking fresh: Gently mix 1/4 cup vinegar in a 16-ounce spray bottle with 1 drop of dish soap and warm water. Spray the floor one section at a time and wipe with a damp microfiber mop as you go. Vacuum, dust or wipe with a lightly dampened mop – never use soap-based detergents, as they can leave a dull film on the floor, and avoid over-wetting. Don’t use a wax polish, either: it will make the floor too slippery. To remove marks and stains, use a dilute solution of water and vinegar. Damp-mopping is by far the best method for cleaning vinyl sheet flooring, vinyl tile, and ceramic or porcelain tile.
Vacuum the House
Use the crevice attachment (if you have one) on your vacuum cleaner first. Vacuum horizontally in each room. Vacuum vertically in each room. Vacuum from the furthest corner away from the door and vacuum your way out of the room. Use a neutralizer if your carpet needs a little freshening. To vacuum like the professionals, you need to vacuum in rows. First, vacuum a row of carpet in one direction, wall-to-wall. This pass should be against the nap of the carpet to make it fluff up, making the deep dirt come up easier. After the entire room is done, vacuum the room going the opposite direction. Interior designers and hygiene experts agree that floors should be vacuumed once weekly at minimum. Flooring of all types collects dust and dirt that can detract from their beauty, whether you notice a dingy look or not. More importantly, going longer than a week between vacuuming sessions can lead to health issues.
