what part of the house do you clean first and you clean last? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up1 year ago

our house is too small with one room in it.(and that's mine.), so I'll clean my room first. lol

I will remove all the trash inside my room. even my stuffs in there, so that I can clean it so easily. and so right after I clean my room, I will keep it's door close so the dust from the living room and into the kitchen wouldn't go in there.

the kitchen is the easiest part of the house to clean, so kitchen is the part that I clean last. I just wash the dishes, and wipe its sink and tiles.

How about you?
what part of the house do you clean first and you clean last?..
and do you have some cleaning tips?.. share it to us!.. happy

I don't know if its really cleaning but, I just set aside things in their right places when it seems that things are becoming a bit untidy.. that's mostly due to my nephew's way of things, making a mess wherever he goes.. the rest would be stuff on tables that just got piled up..

So I really don't have a particular place that I clean first, I clean what seems to be needed cleaning at first sight and if I feel like cleaning lol

Then again, we often do clean the whole house wherein everyone is involved and we'd be doing it 'til my mom is satisfied. We'd move things, even the heavy ones, in order and clean, wipe, sweep the day through.

I think we need a bit of cleaning as of now too happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

since Saturday is the only day for me to clean our house, and no one will make a mess whenever I'm cleaning, I can actually focus on it, and clean it part by part. happy not like you, since you have a kid in your house.. that's really difficult to clean. lol

me too, I move everything, our cabinet, the table..etc.. I don't want to see any single dust on the floor.and I also clean the ceiling if I see some cobweb on it. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2967)   ranked 211 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

Yeah, we generally do house cleaning, with everyone, during weekends too.. but, that was before when we still were going to school and stuff.. works taking more time from my brothers and sisters so they deserve to take a break during their day offs.

Well, I can't deny being annoyed but, I'm sure I was like that, messing things up, drawing on walls, coloring books that doesn't really need any coloring, like medical books lol, when I was a young kid too.

Yeah, to think that brooms could also clean ceilings.. though we don't have a ceiling, we still do have those dusts clinging on underneath our roof.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

lol I remember way back, when I am still with my mother. my little siblings love to wrote or draw on the walls.. and whenever I saw that I will give them the brush for them to remove those.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2967)   ranked 211 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

We had chalk before so we could really draw anything at walls, as long as we wash them out. Then again, I only washed my drawing away when I'm about to draw new ones lol

I guess I feel like my house is in an ongoing state of cleaning. Where do I begin and where do I end..... it never ends. Everyday I do something and whatever doesn't get done is left for the next day.

I could answer this question easier for just my kitchen. I always start with loading my dishwasher and end with sweeping up the floors.

My cleaning tip is the Mr Clean Magic Eraser.... that thing will clean anything off of anything. It is amazing.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

my cleaning day is during Saturday. since I am working during weekdays.not like you that you clean almost everyday. It's actually difficult and tiring at the same time. lol

I hope that we have the cleaning material here in the Philippines. happy

Our chores are divided among all the people who live here, me, my husband and our four kids, even the 2 year old pitches in from time to time.

But when I do a deep all over house cleaning I usually start in the living room or my bedroom because those are the two most cluttered rooms which I have the kids doing their rooms and the bathrooms.

My husband or oldest son clean the kitchen for the most part. They are very picky and though with it so I let them have it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

wow, good thing all your family member help you cleaning your house. and it's a good habit and a good practice to your children. thumbup

Kitchen first, always. Last would be my bedroom! It's usually neat but dusty and needs vacuuming.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

oh, me the kitchen was the last. happy

kitchen to bathroom. I take a shower and I want to do the best cleaning where we make food and eat. It wouldn't make sense to clean the toilet then the refrig and kitchen sink. Between the two, I don't think I worry about the order too much.

I like to use vinegar and baking soda to clean as much as possible. The other stuff tends to be chemicals, not good for my husband, my cat or me.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

wow! that's a new cleaning tips for me.

and how will I use vinegar and baking soda on cleaning? and on what part of the house?lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4401)   ranked 12 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

Wherever the vinegar or the baking soda won't ruin or destroy stuff. Vinegar and a rag for stove top. Vinegar and baking soda for the inside of oven. One or the other or both for the bathroom sink and bathtub. If you don't have a hard toilet to clean, then both together.

I like how they bubble when used together. Separately, vinegar is an excellent rinse and together, they are powerful, but only use small amounts or they bubble over. Take care.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4401)   ranked 12 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

Baking soda works well the rub on things and to get stubborn stuff that needs an abrasive like clorox powder.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

I will try that the next time I'll clean the bathroom. does it leaves a bad smell?

thanks for that!happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4401)   ranked 12 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

IT smells like whatever vinegar you use, but not for very long, usually around the rest of the day.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

ok..thank you for that. happy

I clean the kitchen first because I love seeing a clean kitchen and I've been using a new kitchen cleaner that smells really good so that puts me in a good mood. After that I clean the living room and dining room areas. Then I move on to my bedroom, saving the bathrooms, which is my least favorite job, for last.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

and what is that cleaning material that you love to use?. let me know that please so that I can also use it to my house. happy

If I am doing a full clean the house which I do every Friday after work this is how I do it. I clean my first floor first because if I have guests its what they see. I clean my kitchen first because it is the most used room in my house. Then to the play/ computer room and then the living room. Then the bathroom. Then I go to the second floor and clean the four bedrooms. If I have time I go to the basement and clean it.

Every day I straighten up the first floor. Almost always starting with the kitchen.

My Cleaning tips:

I keep a bottle of cleaner and a roll of paper towles in every bathroom, and on the bedroom floor. So I can clean up the little things through the week. I keep a trash can in every room. And there is a laundry basket on each floor. In the laundry basket I keep a small bottle of shout (the stain cleaner) and if any thing has a stain on it I spray it when it goes into the basket giving it time to set in.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

wow, nice cleaning tips. thumbup

I also have trash cans in every room, even on the bath room, and we do have two laundry baskets, one on the white clothes, and the other one on the colored clothes. so that the white ones shouldn't have the stain on it.

I always start vacuming the living room and dining room first, then my office. Then I move on to cleaning the downstairs bathroom and then the kitchen, Last I go upstairs and vacum both bedrooms and then clean the full bathroom last. I enjoy vacuming the most because I can "zone out" and go somewhere else while I am vacuming and therefore, I find vacuming almost meditative.


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1402)   ranked 5 out of 215 in cleaning up  1 year ago

well, obviously you really enjoyed using that cleaner.. and it's good to know that enjoyed cleaning too. happy

10. myLot reputation of 84/100. kenzie45230 (2467)   ranked 202 out of 215 in cleaning up   1 year ago

I always clean the kitchen first, then the bathroom. (My mom taught me that even when you're sick, if a woman comes to visit those are the two things she looks at first.) Then I tackle the living room and hall. We don't have carpet and our hardwood floors are not sealed properly, so they get a bit dirty. The bedrooms are always last, because I can just shut the doors and wait until the next day if I have to.

With my chronic pains (fibromyalgia and arthritis), I don't clean as often as I once did. I wish I could...
