House cleaning tips/advice please!?

My dad is paying me $200 to clean the entire house. I have a week to fo it. This includes organizing and everything. It's extreme cleaning!! So, before I get started, I was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice that would be helpful to make the cleaning easier or to make it go by faster. Any help is greatly appreciated!


Thanks so much!House cleaning tips/advice please!?
Take it one room at a time! That way you won't feel quite so overwhelmed. Also, start with a common area, so that when you get it done, it's something that everyone in the house can see right away. That can help boost you're energy level to continue with the rest of the house.House cleaning tips/advice please!?
Dorie has the right idea. The next step would be to bring all the cleaning supplies with you into each room (window cleaner, cleaning cloths, dusting spray etc).I put all mine in an old ice cream bucket. Then bring in a box or laundry basket that you can put everything into that does not belong in that room. Don't make a trip out of the room for every item. This saves steps. Only touch things once.


Dust before you vacuum or wash the floors as it settles after you dust. Clean out your vacuum before you start. If possible do it outside as to not spread the dust. I like to crank up the music. It keeps me motivated. Don't forget to keep hydrated and stop for food once in a while.


Best of luck to you.
Make sure you have good cleaning products!





Use:





Windex


Formula 409

These will help you get the job done quicker!
