Larger cleaning projects, anything from clearing out a garage to a complete Spring cleaning, can usually go a lot smoother if you have a clear strategy in place.
Some people like the corner-to-corner approach, tackling one area at a time before progressing deeper in. Still others tackle each individual task one at a time, for instance dusting the whole space before vacuuming the whole space.
Both are smarter ideas than the most wasteful way to clean: simply bouncing from area to area with no particular task in mind.
Cleaning in this ala carte manner usually means a tremendous amount of lost time and energy, much of it from needlessly commuting between rooms while switching from the mop over to window cleaner. It’s an aimless goal ultimately, clean whatever you see that needs it, then just move on.
As psychologically fulfilling as that can actually be, it’s truly a bad strategy to finishing the job with any real efficiency. After all, everyone wants to finish their cleaning sooner rather than later, if at all possible.
For larger jobs, we recommend going from room to room as the best method in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency.
One pivotal step to any strategy is having the right tools on-hand, which in the case of cleaning usually means basic cleaning supplies. It’s always a good idea with these ideas to refamiliarize yourself with their labels ahead of any large job.
Find out exactly what they’re designed to handle, how they’re intended to be used, and above all, under which circumstances are they safe to us. Read the mixture and storage warnings, and confirm they are safe for the surfaces being cleaned.
Doing an inventory of your tools will also help you plan out what’s still needed for the task. Dust clothes, rags, vacuum cleaner bags, scouring pads… whatever you’re needing, it’s always better to find out ahead of time. Make of list of what’s missing to stock up in advance of the project.
Remember to pace yourself as much as possible, and try to keep your stress and impact levels low. Try not to ever let the job overwhelm you, and be sure to hydrate yourself frequently during breaks.
Big cleaning tasks can go relatively quickly by implementing a plan and maintaining a steady but comfortable task. Whenever possible, schedule the cleaning during a cooler time of the day or on days where cooler weather is expected.
