Living/dining express clean

Steps

1. 1

   Tidy first: cushions plumped and squared, throws folded, remotes and magazines in place.

2. 2

   Clear cups, plates and rubbish out of the room.

3. 3

   Dust the coffee table, side tables, TV unit and dining table with a damp microfibre cloth, S-pattern.

4. 4

   Wipe points of contact: switches, remotes, door handles.

5. 5

   Vacuum the visible floor and under the dining table.

Straightening beats scrubbing here. A tidy room reads as clean even in ten minutes.
