Bathrooms

Bathrooms are to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. It is important to allow disinfecting spray adequate time to kill germs & bacteria. This should be especially followed on toilets and sinks. Be sure to do a final inspection looking for lint, hair, smudges on mirrors, fixtures, etc.

Bedrooms and living spaces

It is important to follow proper dusting procedures in the correct sequence to remove as much dust as possible. The room should be worked from top to bottom in a clockwise direction. A feather duster is used only on blinds and to collect dust from delicate objects and between difficult to reach areas; it is NOT to be used as the primary dusting tool in any room, this will scatter dust into the air, settling back onto furnishings.

	Pre-Vacuum: Ceiling fans, walls, vents, etc. with brush attachment
	Use furniture tool around and behind furnishings; use crevice tool along walls
	Blinds: Feather dust front and back then raise to wipe dirt/grime from window frame top, also wipe or dust sill top. Reposition blind to original position as found.
	Dusting: Begin dusting from room entrance - work in a counter or clockwise direction
	Dust all objects and furnishings using additional furniture polish on furniture tops and faces
	Wipe down front, back, and side of picture frames, glass items, and mirrors
	Wipe or dust chair rails and floor trim as required
	Vacuuming: Straight lines in the optimal direction to lift pile or nap; work out of each room

Kitchen

Kitchens are primarily cleaned with 409 disinfecting cleaner. This does a great job of cutting grease and grime plus leaves behind a bright finish and great smell. Stainless appliances require a stainless cleaner which works best to prevent streaks. It is important to look-over and re-inspect your work for smudges, fingerprints, crumbs, dog hair, etc.

	Spray microwave and stove top with disinfecting all purpose cleaner
	With a fresh towel, dry and polish inside and front of microwave and stove top & front
	Refrigerator: Spray down and thoroughly clean then wipe top (stainless cleaner as needed)
	Counters: Spray and clean counters (under and behind all objects), dry to prevent streaks
	Small appliances: Spot clean objects and small appliances on counter tops.
	Dishwasher: Spray down and thoroughly clean then open and clean door edges.
	Sink: Spray and thoroughly clean and polish kitchen sink and faucet (you may need Clorox cleanup with bleach to remove food and coffee stains)

Floors

Floors are last to be done before exiting the home. Bathroom floors should be cleaned right after cleaning each bathroom unless the floor is connected to other similarly finished floors (typically ½ baths on main level)

	Vacuum bare floors before washing, use only the floor brush attachment on wood floors
	Add one cup Lysol floor cleaner to a half-bucket of hot water, use on all floors except wood
	Use Murphys oil soap in hot water on wood floors unless otherwise directed by homeowner
	Dry wood floors simultaneously while washing them, never leave wood floors wet.
	Work your way out of the home making sure vacuumed throw rugs are replaced.
