In life, every person happens to be in the middle of a very neglected home. We won’t go into details about how you got such a living space. It can be after a major overhaul or as an inheritance after a grandmother, or bought a house in this condition - it does not matter. It is important that you clean the very dirty apartment. In order for the cleaning process to go without tantrums and unnecessary expenses, you must adhere to several points.
Where to begin?
First you need to sit down and make a shopping list of the necessary things for the upcoming "battle". You will need:
- a lot of rags: to clean the floor a few pieces (depending on pollution), to clean the windows, also a few, to wipe dust and equipment;
- several sponges - for cleaning a stove, bathtub, sink;
- detergents for all types of surfaces that are in your dirty apartment;
- a large number of garbage bags of different sizes;
- rubber gloves (preferably several pairs - no one knows what their strength is and what can happen);
- buckets, basins and a mop are also required in your business.
If you firmly decided to cope with the cleaning yourself, without resorting to the help of a cleaning company, then turn on the music and get started! Very dirty apartments easily give up under the pressure of zealous housewives.
Start by collecting garbage
Your goal now is to collect and throw away everything that you will never need for anything, everything that looks like garbage. It is advisable to immediately remove garbage bags from the apartment so that they do not clutter up the territory, so that your dirty apartment immediately begins to transform. In the course of garbage collection, it is advisable to collect things for washing: all kinds of bedspreads, curtains, tablecloths, towels, dirty clothes - all that does not have to be thrown away if washed. We put the wash and move on.
The next step is living rooms.
It is better to start cleaning from the farthest room, gradually moving towards the exit. So, we select a room and begin: if you have already removed all the curtains and bedspreads, then we take a bucket of water and climb onto the window. We wash the windows, frames and slopes, thoroughly clean the windowsill and radiator. We wipe the dust from all surfaces, if necessary, clean the furniture.
After that, we turn to the carpet: if possible, it is better to take it out to the street and knock it out well. If this is not possible, you will have to do with a vacuum cleaner. We carefully vacuum the carpet and the entire floor around, do not forget about the inaccessible corners and ceiling. After that, we turn it off and proceed to mopping the floor.
Move as much furniture as you can, do not forget about the baseboard, change the water more often. As soon as the floor is washed, we put the furniture in place, spread the carpet, hang the curtains (if there are removable ones), close the door, washed clean, and move on.
Look around, your dirty apartment is not so dirty anymore. Cleaning of the remaining living rooms takes place according to the same algorithm.
Are the rooms over? Let's go to the kitchen!
The beginning of cleaning in the kitchen is exactly the same as in the previous rooms: we remove the curtains, wash the window and the radiator under it.
Further we advance on all working surfaces. We remove everything that is on the surface in cabinets and on the shelves - the freer the surface, the more presentable the view of the kitchen.
We wash all the dirty dishes and hide in specially designated places. We’ll clarify right away that it’s possible to arrange things in cabinets only if they are already clean inside.
Then we move to the stove - we wash it both outside and inside, pay special attention to the oven.
Next in line is the refrigerator: we take everything out of it, throwing away everything that gives off an unpleasant smell, thoroughly wash all the shelves and the door inside, wipe it dry and put only fresh back, wipe it outside and proceed with washing the floor.
The floor sparkles with cleanliness, cleaning a dirty apartment no longer seems to you insurmountable horror, close the door and move towards the exit.
Next in line is the bathroom
We pull the gloves higher and set about cleaning the enamel and ceramics. Most likely, you can not do without chlorine-containing products, so you may need a respirator or at least some sort of bandage on your face. With a brush, sponges and brushes, three all accessible surfaces, starting with the dirtiest and ending with the walls. Do not forget to change the water and rinse the rags well in order to avoid dirty stains. By washing the floor and pouring clean water, we move on. Do you see how a dirty apartment is being transformed?
On the finish line - the corridor
In the corridor we vacuum and wipe, wash everything that is washed, we reach the front door, wash it on both sides, and you can shout “Hurray!” You just washed your very dirty apartment! It remains only to deal with washing, hang curtains, spread the covers in places and enjoy cleanliness.
And finally
I would like to reveal some secrets that make it easier to deal with a dirty apartment. Cleaning does not have to be carried out in splendid isolation, but always with your favorite music, in comfortable clothes, with a determined spirit and faith in victory. Good luck with the fight against dirt!
