Part 2: Dusting, Disinfecting, and Vacumming
A.Dust Removal
Making sure that all the settled dust in the house is properly removed is your ticket to a safe and healthy move in day. If you obey by these rules, then your likelihood of rolling your whole project out are maximized.
- Walls and Ceilings
- Ceiling Fans
- Window and Doors
- Closets
B.Disinfecting
The next phase after removing all the dust off the walls, ceiling, windows, door, and closets, is disinfecting all the areas you just went over. At this point everything is dust free, it’s now time to apply pressure and start removing all the germs, dirt and grime off all surfaces.
- Ceiling Fan
- Windows
- Doors
- Closets
- Walls
- Baseboards
C. Vacuuming
The next phase after cleaning and disinfecting the Ceiling Lights, Walls, Windows, Doors, Baseboards, and closets, is Vacuuming. If you make sure that the floor is thoroughly vacuumed, then you have a higher likelihood of saving a great deal of time. You know why? It’s less work for the person who is going to mop right after you finish vacuuming. So, make sure you follow the steps with very deep detailed understanding of knowing that what you do will affect the work of the rest of the group.
For this part you are going to need the following things:
- HEPA Electrolux Canister Vacuum
- Electrolux Vacuum Bare Floor Attachment
- Electrolux Vacuum Carpet Floor Attachment
- Electrolux Vacuum Nozzle Attachment
- Electrolux Vacuum Disposable Vacuum Bag
- Electrolux Vacuum New Filter Unit
- 20 Feet Extension Cord
Part 3: Kitchen and Bathroom and Cleaning and Sanitation
A. Kitchen Cleaning and Sanitation
- Refrigerator – INSIDE The first area you want to start cleaning is the Refrigerator. Make sure that all the drawers and shelves are properly removed.
- Refrigerator – OUTSIDE Whether you are going to keep the same refrigerator or get a replacement unit, I highly recommend you moving the refrigerator to the front so you can vacuum and mop in the back of the refrigerator.
- Stove -There are 1000 ways to really clean your stove. Depending on the type of stove you have. My concept here is very broad due to the wide variety of stoves that are out in the market.
- Oven – For the cleaning of the oven, there’s also a billion ways to clean the oven. Depending on what kind of oven you have, I will highly recommend you browsing through your manual and make sure you follow the steps.
- Dishwasher – For the cleaning of your Dishwasher, I will highly recommend you checking your manual first. As a general rule, make sure you remove all the trays from the dishwasher.
- Countertop & Backsplash – The first part before cleaning the countertop is to wash and clean the backsplash. Nowadays, the most common backsplashes are made of glass tiles, or just simple tiles. For this part just use your towel with water and vinegar, and apply a spray of Method Kitchen Disinfectant.
- Lower Cabinets – Cleaning and sanitation of the lower part of the cabinets is the key to making sure that once you move in, you have a healthy germ-free environment if done properly.
- Sink – The cleaning and sanitation of the sink should be done at the end of the project. Reason being is because most likely you will be either rinsing your towels, or filling up your buckets with water, and cleaning it before the end of the project will just not be effective.
- Baseboards – The cleaning and sanitation of the baseboards should be done prior to washing the floor. Washing all the baseboards properly ensures that you can have your kids safely enjoy the floor of your kitchen.
- Floor – The cleaning and sanitation of the floor should be done right after you finish washing the baseboards in the kitchen. For this you will use a scrubber and a towel. You will also need a bucket with water first to get the dirt off the floor.
B. Bathroom Cleaning and Sanitation
- Shower – The cleaning and sanitation of your shower area is the key to your healthy move into your new home.
- Toilet – The cleaning and sanitation of your toilet must be taken with due to care to ensure that you and your kids have a healthy move in transition. There are plenty of transmittable germs, viruses, and bacteria that need to be properly removed off the toilets prior to you moving in.
- Counter and Sink – The cleaning and sanitation of your counter and sinks should be done very thoroughly to ensure that you can safely place all your personal hygienic items onto them.
- Vanity Light – The cleaning of the vanity lights should be done with the light turned off for at least 30 minutes. Please make sure you test if the lights are hot before starting to clean them.
- Mirrors – The cleaning and sanitation of your mirrors should be done with a towel with water and vinegar.
- Vanity Cabinets – The cleaning and sanitation of your Vanity Cabinets must be done with a towel with water and vinegar and just apply a couple of sprays of Method Multi Purpose Cleaner to your towel.
- Floors – The cleaning and sanitation of your floors should be made with a towel, a scrubber, and a bucket with water.
