It’s funny how people love coming home to a clean house, but few of them like the actual cleaning. Still, house cleaning can be a tedious and time-consuming job, especially now that people are getting increasingly busy. The little time you have is only enough to do the laundry, grab some groceries and do something with the kids. That’s why most people prefer outsourcing their house cleaning to maid services.

That said, here are some of the things to expect from your cleaning service on a basic job.

Step 1: Decluttering the House

You’ll be surprised at how many things are misplaced in a typical home. Magazines, utensils, newspapers, and small furniture are some of the culprits, and they can make your rooms look dirtier than they really are. 

Of course, there will be many things that need to go after the decluttering exercise besides the usual kitchen garbage. You might want to throw out things that you never use, like old toys or your previous computer that has been lying around forever. You can also consider renting a storage space to store some of the sentimental stuff.

Step 2: Dusting

After decluttering the entire house, the team will start dusting everything that’s not on the floor. They often use microfibre cloths to clean all vertical surfaces, including windows, cabinets, and walls. They will also dust the blinds, top of doors, and picture frames. And, they might have to use water or other cleaning agents for a perfect finish. 

Generally speaking, this is one of the most time-consuming steps of the entire clean-up process, but the results are worth it.

Step 3: Vacuuming

Now that your floors are all dusty after step 3, the team will vacuum the entire house with their commercial-grade rigs. These things have more power than your regular vacuum cleaner, and that translates to exceptional results. Expect to find all the missing socks, your favorite pen, and other
