General cleaning is a long and tedious job, but it's also the least costly.


General cleaning doesn't have to be performed every day. In fact, it shouldn't. Some rooms in your home don't need any cleaning at all on a daily basis. If you have an attic or basement then you shouldn't clean it very often at all. The reason is that the humidity in the area can cause damage to wood and textiles and the wear and tear on your ceiling fans and air ducts can increase if you overdo your General cleaning.





General cleaning isn't limited to removing dirt and dust. It also includes polishing glass and mirrors. General cleaning is a great way to spruce up a room. Just sweep the floor, mop the floors, throw away the debris, and put fresh towels and linens in the shower. Don't forget to put the blinds back.


What a busy schedule you have in your life might make General cleaning a bit boring. If that is the case then try to step it down a notch. You can use a vacuum cleaner for dust. Vacuuming a window on a regular basis will help keep the house looking good. If the windows are always open it can get very dusty.


What general cleaning means to you probably differs from what others think it means. General cleaning doesn't mean just vacuuming. It also means dusting, wiping, and polishing.
