Work from higher surfaces down
Start with accessible shelves, ledges and furniture tops, then wipe tables and other surfaces before cleaning the floor. Use a clean dry or lightly damp cloth as suitable for the finish, and avoid over-wetting timber, electronics or delicate items.
Vacuum floors and furnishings carefully
Choose an attachment and setting that suit the floor, rug or upholstery. Check care instructions before using a rotating brush on delicate pile, and empty or maintain the vacuum as its manual directs.
Include bedding and soft furnishings
Wash removable covers and linens according to their care labels. Vacuum upholstery only with an approved attachment, and avoid shaking dusty items indoors where particles can settle elsewhere.
Check filters using the maker's instructions
Replace or clean a household filter only as directed for the exact appliance. Do not dismantle ductwork or assume a filter change or duct clean addresses a building, ventilation or health concern; contact the property manager or a qualified HVAC provider for equipment problems.
