Always begin your clean from top to bottom of a room, starting with the best room first and finish on the worst room. Ensure you have regular breaks and windows are open with extractor fans on when using chemicals, this also freshens up the air in the room.

The key to a good clean is to unclutter the room / house. This may require some bin bags, clearing away and rubbish or clutter that can be thrown away or donated. For the rooms start with the sides and desk, then go into your wardrobe and have a KEEP, DONATE, TOSS method, grab a friend to help you let go of those clothes you bought because they were “on sale”!
