1. Clear The Decks!Put away all of the items that belong in the kitchen but are not in their proper place. Then move on to gathering all the items that do NOT belong in the kitchen. Put all these items into a basket to be put away later (or if you have a helper, enlist their help with this.) Do not stop working on the kitchen to take these misplaced items to their homes.


2. Start At The SinkPut all of the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Run a sink of hot, soapy water then drop in things that need soaking like the microwave turntable, the dish drainer, or large pans and bowls.


3. Spray Countertops and StovetopUse an all purpose cleaner and spray surfaces liberally. Let the cleaner do it’s work while you move on.


4. Empty The RefrigeratorWell, not completely. Toss anything that is expired and throw the dirty food containers in the sink full of soapy water. Working from top to bottom, wipe down the shelves with a rag sprayed with all-purpose cleaner.


5. Start At The TopKnocking dirt and debris onto the floor is OK because you’re going to be sweeping it all up later. Use a long-handled duster and work your way around the entire perimeter of the room. Clean the corners, the light fixtures, and the tops of the cabinets. Don’t forget the top of the refrigerator. When you’ve worked your way back to where you started, you’re ready to move on.


6. Wipe Down Upper Cabinets & Clean MicrowaveSet a wet sponge in the microwave and “cook” for 2 minutes. While the microwave is doing it’s work, dip a rag in the warm, soap water and use it to wipe down the doors and pulls of the upper cabinets and anything else on the wall as you circle the room. The sponge in the microwave should be cool enough to handle now. Use it to wipe down the inside and outside of the microwave.


7. Wipe Down Counter tops and StovetopNow that the cleaner has had a chance to work, wipe down the horizontal surfaces. Again, just let dust, crumbs, etc. fall to the floor because you’ll get it later. Add a little baking soda for stubborn stains. 


8. Clean Vertical Surfaces of Appliances Use another rag dipped in the warm soapy water to wipe down the front of the refrigerator, dishwasher and oven. Pay close attention to handles and outside edges. 


9. Wipe Down Lower Cabinet Doors & Drawers Once again, a rag dipped in warm, soapy water will do the job.


10. Finish Dishes and Clean SinkPlace the items that have been soaking in the sink into the dishwasher or wash by hand. Drain the sink and rinse with hot water. Clean the basin with a mild abrasive like baking soda

11. Empty The TrashGive the inside of the can a quick wipe down with a wet rag before replacing the bag.

​1. WINDOW CLEANER
Mix equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water. Apply to windows with a sponge. Wipe clean using a squeegee. (Remember to wet the squeegee blade first so it won’t skip.)

2. BLINDS
To clean washable blinds, mix 1 cup ammonia, ½ cup white distilled vinegar, ¼ cup baking soda and 1 gallon of warm water. Using a sponge or cloth, wipe blinds with mixture. Rinse with clear water.

3. AUTOMATIC COFFEE MAKERS
To dissolve minerals and oily build-up, fill the reservoir with white distilled vinegar and run the coffee maker through a brewing cycle. Empty the carafe. Rinse away vinegar residue by running a full reservoir of water through the brewing cycle. (As always, follow manufacturer’s care instructions.)

4. KILL GRASS
Forget store-bought grass and weed killers. Pour full-strength white distilled vinegar on unwanted vegetation. Reapply as needed.

5. KEEP CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Fresh flowers last longer if you add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the water in a 1-quart vase. Trim stems and change water every few days or when water starts to get cloudy.

6. NO-WAX FLOORS
For rinse-free cleaning, mop using a solution of ½ cup of white distilled vinegar to a half-gallon of warm water. Change water as it gets dirty.

7. MICROWAVE
Boil a solution of ¼ cup of white distilled vinegar and 1 cup of water in the microwave until steam forms on the window. Wipe away food residue.

8. CLEANER DISHES AND GLASSES
For sparkling results, add 1 ½ to 2 cups white distilled vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher. Wash on regular cycle using the usual amount of detergent.

9. COPPER, BRASS AND PEWTER CLEANER
To effortlessly remove tarnish, apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ cup of white distilled vinegar and enough flour to make a paste. Apply to the metal and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Rinse with clean water and polish with soft, dry cloth. (The flour keeps the vinegar and salt in contact with the tarnished surface.)

10. BATHTUB FILM
Remove bathtub film by wiping it first with white distilled vinegar then with baking soda. Rinse away grime with clean water.

11. SHOWER DOORS
To prevent soap scum build-up, wipe shower doors with a sponge soaked in white distilled vinegar. No need to rinse.

12. CLOGGED SHOWERHEAD
Use vinegar to dissolve mineral build-up in showerheads. Add a cup of vinegar to a plastic storage bag. Position the bag so that the showerhead sits in the vinegar. Allow it to soak overnight. In the morning, remove the bag and turn on the shower to rinse.

13. BOILING A CRACKED EGG
When boiling a cracked egg, add some vinegar to the water — about 2 teaspoons to a quart of water. This will keep the white from running out.

14. PET URINE IN CARPETS
Blot up as much of the urine as possible by laying several paper towels over the area and walking on them (the extra pressure increases absorption). Replace towels and blot until most of the urine is removed.
Before treating the area with vinegar, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place. If colors don’t run, saturate the stain with a solution of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water. Allow it to sit on the area for 10 minutes. Blot as before, replacing towels as needed. When the carpet is mostly dry, sprinkle baking soda on the area. This will help absorb odors. Vacuum in about an hour.

15. BUMPER STICKER REMOVAL
To remove bumper sticker residue, saturate the area with distilled white vinegar. Bumper sticker pieces should peel off easily. Test first on an inconspicuous area of the car to make sure it doesn’t damage the paint.

16. TO SOFTEN A PAINT BRUSH
Soak the paintbrush in hot white distilled vinegar until brush softens. Then wash with warm, soapy water.

17. WINE STAINS
To remove wine stains from all-cotton, cotton/polyester and permanent press fabrics, it’s important to treat the stain within 24 hours. Sponge white distilled vinegar directly onto the area until the stain disappears. Launder according to directions on care label.

18. CLOTHES RINSE
Remove dingy soap and detergent residue in clothes by adding 1 cup of white distilled vinegar to the final rinse. To remove soap residue from heavier blankets and quilts, add 2 cups of vinegar to the final rinse.

19. DEODORANT AND ANTIPERSPIRANT STAINS
Rub the underarm areas of white or light-colored clothing with white distilled vinegar then launder as usual. If stain remains after washing, do not machine dry. Re-treat the area with vinegar and place garment in the sun to bleach.

20. KEEP COLORS FROM RUNNING
To keep colored fabrics from running in the wash, first soak them for a few minutes in white distilled vinegar.

For One off Deep Cleaning 

By End of Tenancy Cleaning Services

BATHROOM: 10 MINUTES
Step 1: Spray away. Spritz the sink, mirror, toilet and the floor around it with cleaner. Let it sit while you clear off the countertops so the cleaning solution can do the hard work for you. Then, spray the counters.
Step 2: Now Wipe. Work from the cleanest surface (mirror) to the dirtiest (sink) using a paper towel or microfiber cloth that easily reaches into nooks and crannies. Pay special attention to the grime and hard water deposits that collect around the drain, faucet and sink handles, which can detract from a sparkling bathroom.
Step 3: Tackle the toilet. Brush inside the bowl first, then clean the tank, seat, base and floor with disposable wipes that you can trash on the spot. (Don't forget to take the garbage out with you.)
Step 4: Hit the lights. The switch plate is one of the most often handled areas of your home and the last thing your guests will see when they leave the bathroom. Remove any muck with one quick swipe before you walk out the door. 

KITCHEN: 10 MINUTES
Step 1: Spot-clean. Use a wet wipe or paper towel to clean the stovetop,  table and inside the fridge where food or dirt is obvious. Repeat for the floor.
Step 2: Make the sink shine. When you're done prepping and cooking for the party, scoop out any bits of food from the drain with a paper towel, then spray the sink with a cleaning solution and wipe. Make sure to sponge away puddles of water under the soap dispenser, too.
Step 3: Erase streaks. Take a step back and inspect the cabinets, appliances and walls for unsightly marks and stains. Use a cleaning wipe or melamine sponge, like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, to quickly remove anything glaring (remember, you can do a deep-clean later). Then, before you throw it away, run the wipe or pad over the trash can.
Step 4: Degunk the microwave. Pour water and vinegar into a bowl and heat for 30 seconds. This will loosen any caked-on food so you can swipe it off without scrubbing. 

LIVING ROOM: 7 MINUTES
Step 1: Trap dust. Put on a microfiber mitt and quickly run your hand over the coffee table, side tables, open shelves, picture frames and light fixtures. For ceiling fans, slip an old pillowcase over one blade at a time and use it to pull off and catch any dust bunnies hanging out on top. Dump the loose dust in the trash, then flip the pillowcase inside out and wash it and the cleaning mitt with your next load.
Step 2: Pick up pet hair (and more). Roll a lint brush over your couch cushions, lampshades—even over patches of an area rug—to pick up loose strands, fuzz and larger pieces of dirt. If the floor needs it, reach for a handheld or regular vacuum instead of wasting time sweeping up with a broom. Then you won't need to fetch a dustpan or make an extra trip to the trash can when you're done cleaning. 

FOYER: 3 MINUTES
Step 1: Suck up dirt. To remove debris by the front door, quickly run the vacuum. But resist the urge to mop! Once guests arrive, they'll bring outside elements in with them, so do yourself a favor and leave deep cleaning for the next day. 
Step 2: Make a good impression. If you don't have a floor bin near your door to corral shoes, hide them in a cute shopping tote and hang it on your coat rack.

13 Secrets for Making Your Cleaning Business a Success 

Here are their tips:

1. Never stop learning. The cleaning industry may not be the most glamorous or complex, but established business owners say there’s always something to learn. Technology advances affect the equipment you use, safety issues affect the chemicals you clean with, and there will always be ways you can enhance your organizational and managerial skills. Read industry publications, go to meetings and conventions, participate in trade organizations, and encourage your suppliers to keep you up to date.

2. Tap all your resources. A wide range of associations serves various aspects of the professional cleaning industry. These groups can help with operational, marketing and management issues. Many state and government agencies also offer support and information for small businesses.

3. Clean it like it’s your own. Regardless of what you’re cleaning and whether you’re doing traditional housecleaning, janitorial work, or providing a specialty cleaning service, clean like you’re cleaning your own home or office.

4. Develop systems. Systems provide a structure that allows you to work consistently and efficiently, and also let you create a company that will continue to run whether you’re there or not. Create systems for every function: cleaning, laundry, supervision, reporting, customer service, accounting and management.

5. Be careful! Though time is your most valuable commodity, don’t rush so much that you get careless. Customers will usually understand when accidents happen, but you’re better off if you don’t have to fall back on that. Also, the cost to repair or replace something--in out-of-pocket cash, time lost and damaged customer relations--is usually far more than the time you might save by working carelessly.

6. Don’t undersell yourself. When you’re starting out, you may be tempted to try to undercut the competition’s prices. A better strategy is to simply outperform them by providing quality work.

7. Take care of your employees. Your employees are critical to your success; after all, it’s the quality of their performance that determines whether your customers are satisfied. Look for ways to make them want to do their best. Train them well, don’t micromanage, and treat them with respect. Provide bonuses and incentives for top performance, and consider offering perks such as letting them use company equipment in their own homes.

8. Find a niche. Don’t try to be all things to all people; pick the market you can best serve, and focus on that. For example, if you choose to service smaller office buildings, you may not be able to provide quality work at a profitable price level to larger facilities. Excel in what you’re doing and build consistency in the services you provide. When you try to serve too many markets, you won’t be successful in any of them.

9. Develop your computer skills. You need to be as skilled with your computer as you are with a mop or buffer. The cleaning business may not be particularly high tech, but you don’t have time to do estimates, billing, payroll, inventory control and other record-keeping by hand.

10. Track labor costs. The biggest single expense you have is labor, and you must stay on top of it. If you aren't watching your labor costs every day, they'll get away from you. Compile a daily over and under report, which makes it easy to spot trends before they become major issues. If labor is on the increase, figure out where the problem is. Is the customer asking for extra services you aren’t charging for? Did you underestimate the time it would take to do the work? If you’re under on your labor estimates, make sure your employees are providing the quality you’ve promised.

11. Invest in customer service. The quality of your cleaning is important, but it’s not everything. Building strong relationships with your clients requires a serious commitment to customer service. Don’t assume that just because the work looks satisfactory to you that it is to your customers--or that there’s nothing else they want or need. Be sure to follow up with them consistently to find out how things are going.

12. Keep your eye on the economy. As long as things get dirty, there'll be a need for professionals to clean them. But economic changes can mean changes in your market. Residential cleaning services, for example, are often seen as luxuries, and an economic downturn could affect your customers’ willingness and ability to pay to have their homes cleaned. When business profits shrink, companies look for ways to cut expenses, which means they may examine their budgets for services that can be reduced or eliminated. Also consider how the world economy can impact your profitability. If oil prices skyrocket, you’ll have to spend more to operate your vehicles, and your general utility costs will probably increase. When the cost of lumber goes up, so does the cost of bathroom tissue, paper towels and other disposable paper products you provide to your customers. You may be able to pass along some of those costs, but don’t depend on a thriving economy to keep your business profitable. Have plans in place so you can shift your market focus if necessary.

13. Don’t take every job. If you can’t make money on a job, or if the work is undesirable for any reason, turn it down. It’s better to focus your time and energy on profitable work you enjoy.
