Start with accessible loose soil
Dust high, reachable surfaces with a suitable cloth, then vacuum or sweep before wiping floors. Use stable access only; do not climb on chairs or overreach to clean fans and fixtures.
Use products according to labels
Choose one labelled cleaner appropriate for the surface. Follow dilution, contact, rinsing, ventilation and protective-equipment directions. Never mix products or use vinegar, bleach, ammonia, oils or solvents on a material unless the maker permits it.
Clean kitchens and appliances carefully
Remove food debris, wipe benches with a product suited to the material and follow appliance manuals. Do not pour hot water or chemicals into waste disposals, scrape coatings with sharp tools or spray liquids into motors and controls.
Clean glass and small spills
Use a glass product and lint-free cloth if compatible. Blot fabric spills rather than rubbing, and check care labels before treating upholstery or carpets. Permanent stains or surface damage may need specialist assessment.
