The cloth should not have tendrils or lint from sticking to the glass. A newspaper or paper napkins we can also serve to dry after cleaning crystals.

A very effective trick to leave the windows and bright and transparent tiles is to use water and vinegar in equal parts, in a spray and after applying, wipe with newspaper. Perhaps it smells a little bad until it evaporates, but leaves a very crisp and professional result.

Step 3: Dust on furniture

By the simple fact of living in a house, dust begins to accumulate. It is the body's own particles, such as dust mites and dead skin cells that end up airborne accumulate on the surface of the furniture throughout the house.

Many are acids in high concentrations, which end up damaging furniture or surfaces and gases which can be harmful to our health. Should read labels and usage rules. Many products are advised to wear gloves and some also give advice on what to do if the liquid falls on the mucous membranes or eyes.

Step 7: Wash the dishes and glasses



If you have at home a dishwasher, you can cram everything in and go cleaning the dishes while still cleaning the rest of the house, but if you are someone who does not have a dishwasher, then, I myself I sympathize with you and will show you how you should clean the plates and glasses.

You need two places next to each other. And one of these places have a water tap, hopefully hot. One should also keep a mop and a soap dish.

The way to clean the dishes is as follows:

- The dish is introduced into water to clean

- The pad is applied to remove traces of oil or dirt

- It goes back under water to remove soap scum now.

- The dish is placed on the other surface to dry, or directly dried with a cloth and stored.

- Should replace the sponge with a new one every so often as they accumulate large amount of bacteria.

Step 8: Cleaning objects and special parts:

Some tasks require little effort and achieve very good image cleaning the house, for example: Take the trash and bring it down to the container. Clean microwave inside and out. Although not see the inner dirt, it does not hurt to be clean inside. Equally so with the bed sheets and the dust that accumulates underneath. Although things are apparently not seen, we can do without them for a special moment we do not have time, but in the long term must finish doing them.
