Since most of us tend to avoid doing the deep cleaning until it’s absolutely necessary, when the time comes to do it we are left a bit confused and disoriented, not knowing where to start. To help make the process easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of all the important things you’ll need to deep clean your home like a pro.

Although we will be focusing on deep cleaning today, many of the tips and tricks we’ll mention here can be used for surface cleaning or light cleaning as well, which is what we do on a daily basis, or when we’re having guests over.

Here’s what you’ll need to make sure the entire process runs smoothly and efficiently. The main items you’ll need to have before you get started include:

• Microfiber cloths

• Disposable rags or towels

• Dish detergent, white vinegar, baking soda or store-bought cleaning solutions of your choosing

• Rubber gloves

• Scrub brush, sponge and a toothbrush

• A mop and a bucket

• Vacuum cleaner

• A cleaning caddy for all your cleaning supplies, brushes and rags, so you can have them all on hand

These are some of the main supplies and equipment you’ll need to make the entire process less time consuming and more effective. In addition to the right supplies, you’ll need to incorporate the right cleaning techniques as well, so you can achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Here are some of the simplest tips and tricks you can use to improve your cleaning experience and get a better result:

• Spread out your tasks over a couple of days so you don’t get overwhelmed and tire yourself out

• Get all your tools and supplies ready before you start cleaning

• Write down all the tasks you need to get done and organise them according to their priority

• Clean from top to bottom and left to right, simultaneously. This way you’ll be more organised and finish the job much faster than you would if you were to constantly go from one side of the room to another, without following a specific structure.
