Step 1: Clear all items off your counters — remove dishes, appliances, and clutter so you have a clean surface to work with.

Step 2: Using a dry microfiber cloth, sweep away crumbs and debris.

Step 3: Spray your eco-friendly, plant-based cleaner (like our Maid For Products multi-surface spray!) evenly over your counters and appliance surfaces.

Step 4: Wipe down using a clean cloth, paying special attention to handles, knobs, and high-touch areas. For stainless steel, follow the grain for a streak-free shine.

Step 5: Replace your items neatly, giving your kitchen that fresh, organized feel.

Pro Tip: Keep a small caddy under your sink with your go-to cleaning essentials for a quick daily wipe-down routine!

Step 3: Spray a gentle, eco-friendly bathroom cleaner on sinks, countertops, and faucet handles. Wipe thoroughly to remove soap scum and grime.

Wednesday Cleaning Tip: Dust High-Touch Areas & Baseboards

Step 1: Gather your tools — microfiber cloths, a duster with an extendable handle, and an eco-friendly dusting spray if needed.

Step 2: Start with high-touch areas such as door handles, light switches, remote controls, and handrails. Wipe each surface thoroughly to remove dust, fingerprints, and grime.

Step 3: Move on to baseboards. Use a damp microfiber cloth or an electrostatic duster to remove accumulated dust and dirt along walls and corners.

Step 4: Don’t forget other often-missed areas like window sills, shelves, and vents. A quick wipe or dusting can make a big difference.

Step 5: Finish by disposing of or washing cloths and dusters, leaving surfaces clean, smooth, and dust-free.

Thursday Cleaning Tip: Vacuum or Sweep Main Living Spaces

Step 1: Remove clutter — pick up toys, shoes, and any items from floors so you have a clear path to clean.

Step 2: Dust surfaces and furniture first to prevent dust from falling onto freshly cleaned floors.

Step 3: Sweep hard floors using a broom or dust mop, starting from the farthest corner and working toward the exit.

Step 4: Vacuum carpets and rugs, moving furniture as needed. Use attachments to reach edges, corners, and under furniture where dust accumulates.

Step 5: Empty the vacuum or dustpan immediately to prevent debris from returning to the floor.

Pro Tip: Vacuum high-traffic areas at least twice a week and sweep hard floors daily to maintain a consistently clean living space.
