Always start high and work down. Dust ceiling fans and shelves first so falling debris lands on floors you haven't cleaned yet.
Microfiber dust first, then follow with a damp cloth. You'll avoid muddy smears on baseboards and trim.
One bucket for clean solution, one for rinse. It keeps dirty water off your floors and doubles the life of your mop water.
Spray, walk away for 2–3 minutes, then wipe. Soap scum and grease release with almost no scrubbing.
Microfiber traps more dust and bacteria, doesn't streak glass, and saves money. Wash separately from cotton — no fabric softener.
Mopping over loose dirt just paints it around. A quick vacuum or sweep first cuts mopping time in half.
It instantly resets a bedroom and gives you a clear surface for folding laundry later in the day.
Doorknobs, light switches, faucet handles, remotes, and phones carry the most germs. 30 seconds with a disinfecting wipe is enough.
A 20-second squeegee after every shower stops 90% of soap scum and hard-water buildup before it starts.
Sprinkle baking soda, let it sit 30 minutes, then vacuum. It pulls moisture and odors out of the fabric.
Run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar on the top rack. Glassware comes out noticeably clearer.
Heat a bowl of water and lemon for 3 minutes. Stuck-on food wipes right off — no scrubbing.
Use it to rinse cloths and tools while you work, then disinfect it at the end. Always finish in a clean sink.
Wrap faucets and showerheads in a vinegar-soaked paper towel for 30 minutes. Rinse, and the lime scale is gone.
Crumbs and pet hair grind fibers down. A weekly pass with the brush attachment doubles the life of your couch.
Most pillows are machine-washable. Two at a time keeps the drum balanced. Dry with tennis balls to keep them fluffy.
Heavily soiled items need more agitation and detergent. Mixing them with light loads spreads grime instead of removing it.
A full canister or bag drops suction by 50%. Empty at half-full for the strongest pickup.
One stocked caddy with your go-to spray, microfiber, and gloves means you start cleaning instead of hunting for supplies.
Recurring deep cleans extend the life of floors, grout, and fixtures. That's where LMG Cleaning Services comes in.
