CLEANING SCHEDULE¶
The most important aspect of household cleaning and maintenance is routine. Certain tasks have to be completed every day to keep things at a high standard. A home that is properly cleaned stays “in place” much longer than those that have been only surface cleaned. Always remember to clean from the top down and from the inside out. Always vacuum last. When leaving a room, turn to check it after you complete it.¶
