Make a realistic room plan
List each room and select tasks according to condition and available time. Gather labelled products and suitable cloths before starting, and work from reachable high surfaces down to floors. Keep walkways clear and stop when a task needs safer access or specialist equipment.
Declutter and clean one area at a time
Sort everyday belongings into keep, donate and discard groups, taking care with documents, medicines, chemicals and sharps. Clear loose soil before wiping. Avoid creating unstable piles or moving heavy furniture alone.
Use products suited to the surface
Follow product labels and maker instructions for glass, stone, timber, appliances, fabrics and flooring. Never mix chemicals. Avoid treating natural stone, upholstery, electronics or coated finishes with an unapproved acid, abrasive or solvent.
Include outdoor spaces safely
Sweep accessible paths, tidy seating and remove ordinary debris. Gardening, gutter work, roof access, pest treatment and pressure washing require separate assessment and safe methods; do not climb or spray near electrical fittings.
