When you are cleaning your house, apartment, or condo, what do you do first?
I tend to dust, then vacuum the carpeted areas, and finally, I will sweep and mop. With all the pet hair, it’s really the only way to make sure I have gotten everything in a manner that leaves less fur and dander in the air than if I did it any other order. I then go to the bathroom, clean what needs done there, then finally hit the bedrooms where I organize what has not been put in its proper places.
I was just curious as to what order other people clean their houses or living spaces. Thanks and have a great day!
The first place I start is in the kitchen because it usually needs the most attention.
Girl me too I can’t stand a mess especially in the kitchen and you’re welcome
I start with the one I room, I hate to clean the most. I might as well get it over it. I start in the bathroom first when I finish I move forward with the rest of the cleaning of rooms, until I finish.
I dislike cleaning as well , well my own living space but mostly because my husband is a hoarder. However I enjoy cleaning others living spaces and organizing things for them.
You are welcome!
Just like you – vacuuming, dusting, and mopping the floor. But I always leave the bathroom and toilet for last. I usually start with the kitchen, then move on to the bedrooms and the living room.
Thank you for your response.
My pleasure, Dawn.
I start with basic cleaning and then washing windows, the walls, the blinds, the ceiling, dusting, sweeping and mopping, the bathroom is the last thing i do
Thank you for your response. I used to do the bathroom last myself but found myself doing it for a repreave of doing the same things over and over again.
I do it last because the rest take the most time to do
I vacuum first, because vacuuming scatters dust and I don’t want to scatter dust on surfaces I’ve already dusted! I polish the furniture last.
I always started with dust before, but now I’m going to stop. Learning is a lifelong process
I don’t remember where I learned that it was so long ago! Have a good evening Iwona ☺️
Thank you for your response.
You’re welcome Dawn and have a wonderful day my friend
I pick up all the random trash laying around lol
Thank you for your response. The joy of having children in my home means I am always picking up random things, including after my own husband. LOL
I clean my room the I spray it with fubreze so it smells great.
Sounds like college or bachelor’s life to me! Nothing wrong with either. Which scent of Febreeze do you prefer? Thank you for your response.

Oh my goodness, girl, don’t get me started on the kitchen! I love a spotless kitchen but apparently my teenage son and husband like to just pile dishes in the sink which is 1 ft away from the dishwasher. It’s so annoying. I can’t function in my kitchen until I have done a thorough scrub down and put everything where it belongs before starting to cook.
Thank you for your response.
