Top 5 Cleaning Tips for a Sparkling Home

Keeping your home fresh, organized, and sparkling doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. At Preluxe Cleaning LLC, we believe in smart cleaning — not just hard cleaning. Here are five expert-backed tips to help you maintain a clean space between professional visits:

1. Start From the Top and Work Your Way Down

Dust and dirt fall as you clean. Always begin with ceiling fans, shelves, and high surfaces, then move down to counters, furniture, and finally the floors.

Tip: Use a microfiber cloth for dusting — it grabs dust better than paper towels.

2. Focus on High-Touch Surfaces

Disinfect doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and cabinet handles regularly — especially in kitchens and bathrooms.

Tip: Keep disinfectant wipes in high-traffic areas for quick daily touch-ups.

3. Use the “Two-Minute Rule”

If it takes less than 2 minutes to clean or put away — do it right away. This simple habit helps prevent messes from piling up.

Tip: Quick tasks like wiping down the bathroom sink or clearing kitchen counters add up to a cleaner space.

4. Don’t Skip the Vacuum Patterns

Vacuuming in overlapping, consistent rows help lift more dirt and creates those “fresh vacuum lines” we all love!

Tip: Empty your vacuum canister or change the bag regularly to maintain suction power.

5. Tackle One Room at a Time

Trying to clean the whole house at once can feel overwhelming. Focus on one space at a time for better results — and less stress.

Tip: Set a timer for 20 minutes and challenge yourself to finish one room completely.
