Series 1: Cleaning Tips. Tip 3: CHUNK BY CHUNK, TOP TO BOTTOM

Cleaning Tip for Thorough Results

Cleaning tip for thorough result – chunk by chunk, top to bottom. This is important one of my most powerful tips for professional housekeepers. 

If we get a complaint that our cleaner has forgotten the cobwebs or she always misses ‘something’ – this is the tip we reinforce in training.  It really focuses the mind and makes it easy to spot areas missed. Much better than dragging your cloth across vast surfaces and losing track of where you are. 
 
So, this is a really good mental way of making sure a clean is thorough but also quick.  I go into quite a meditative state when I am cleaning. This is much like all the things you do when driving. Once you have mastered this tip, you will be amazed how fast you get at cleaning!

I have once timed how long it takes to move from one part of the room to another rather than doing it in small sections/ It easily doubles the time! 
 
I choose the top right-hand corner and buff. Then I will choose another chunk which sits just beneath the chunk I have just done. And then I do the next chunk, wet, dry, buff right the way down to the floor. We do the same with sections of surfaces, stairs, floors. 
 
Then I will start the next point. And that means you don’t miss areas and can almost clean on autopilot. Think about things and the beautiful space you are creating and the love you are bringing to your family and life by doing this process.

Many who use this tip find it a fantastic way of alleviating anxiety, switching off from negative thoughts and focusing their minds. So I guess my cleaning tip for thorough results is also good for mental health!
