Step-By-Step Checklist to Clean Your Living Room
1. Start by Washing Curtains, Drapes and Blinds
Take down your curtains, drapes, and blinds.
Take the curtains and drapes to the laundry room if they’re washable. Or to your car if you need a trip to the dry-cleaners.
After this step, the living room will be light up. Moreover, at this point, you have to wash with glass cleaner all your windows in the room.
2. Dust All Hard Surfaces (Till You Dust Every Space of the Room!)
Lightly dampen a microfiber cloth for dusting. If you have a big new TV in the room, make sure to clean the screen gently and properly.
Now, work the room from left to right, top to bottom and dust the window casings, furniture, and decorations.
Then, to get rid of the dust remove all the items from the walls, clean the dusty ceiling fan, and open everything like shelves and cabinets, or drawers to clean the inside with a microfiber cloth and cleaner.
Don’t go around items while you dust them. Pick them up to ensure every square inch of your living room is clean.
At the same time, make sure to pick up at the trash and put it in the bags.
We All Love Glass, So Make It Shine!
If you love to decorate your home with glass surfaces, you better make them shine!
Grab a dry microfiber cloth and your glass polish or cleaner.
Again, to keep a good flow of the areas you clean, we advise you to work the room left to right and from top to bottom.
Make sure all glass surfaces are shining of clean. Polish all glass areas like table tops, picture fronts, glass decor, fireplace doors, even interior windows.
If you feel that the microfiber cloth gets damp from glass cleaner, you better change to a dry piece of cloth to avoid streaks in the glass.
3. Clean the Carpets and Other Soft Furnishings
Start by vacuuming your soft furniture using the vacuum’s upholstery attachment.
In the case of smooth surfaces such as the sofa, you can use the cleaning technique known as steam cleaning to eliminate any dust mite infections, dust, germs, crumbs, and other strange things that accumulate under seating cushions.
Don’t forget to vacuum the back, sides, and front of your sofa and chairs.
Now, it’s time to vacuum area rugs. You can use the dusting attachment to make sure most of the dust is removed from these carpets.
4. Polish Your Furniture and Make Everything Shine
Apply the furniture polish to a cloth and start cleaning all the hard and soft surfaces. For instance, move and clean your television, stereo, and among other electronics.
5. It’s Time to Vacuum the Floor
This is one of the last things that you do in your checklist to clean your living room. So, it means, you’re almost there with your chores!
Here, you can use the regular vacuum head. Move everything aside (furniture, lamps, etc.) to remove the accumulated dust beneath and around your furniture.
Hang in There. You Are Almost Done!
