Title: What part of the house do you start cleaning first?
Post by: colbtrist on October 02, 2014, 12:25:25 pm
I always start with the Kitchen but I wondered how everyone else cleans house. What room do you clean first and what room do you clean last?  ???

I usually start with the kitchen too.  Then both bathrooms, and the rest of the house. I end up back at the kitchen, usually to clean some more.  So I start and end with the kitchen. :)

The living room, so if anyone drops by it's already clean.

This question made me laugh because there is no rhyme or reason to the way I clean.  I may start one place and move on to somewhere else before I'm finished.  All it takes is to find something I need to take to another room and I'm on to something else.

I start with the two bathrooms first, bedrooms, living room/den are generally last. I usually do not have to do much in my kitchen as I am a stickler for a clean kitchen, so I clean every day as we use, dining room is not used that much so it stays pretty clean, just need touch up as does the second bedroom.

It depends  on what looks the worse, but even if I can't clean the entire house, I do not clean the bathrooms every week and the Kitchen every day.  But with 3 floors in my house if I have to clean the house then I start on the basement since is the least dirty of them. then move to the bedrooms and last the kitchen and livingroom

I start with dusting all the furniture, then I clean all glass surfaces, lamps, wall art, etc.  Finally I vacuum and wipe up the tile floors.  Oh, I forgot, I wash the bird cage in the shower.  I don't go thru this whole process every week...just once every five years...hahaha.

Title: Re: What part of the house do you start cleaning first?
Post by: 12amos on October 12, 2014, 12:58:41 pm
I normally like to start with the rooms that I can clean the fastest so I can move on to the next room.  The faster I can clean the more rooms I can complete in a shorter period of time.  So my starting point varies it just depends on which room needs the least attention.  :)

Post by: vickysue on October 12, 2014, 03:26:57 pm
 start in the kitchen since I have to cook breakfast and do the dishes. Then it depends on the weather, if it is nasty and hubby is home, he vacuums for me. Right now am kinda limited on what I am doing. Once they get my heart settled down and thyroid straightened out I will be back up to speed.

I usually start either in the living room or the kitchen. After that, I continue cleaning the first floor and usually finish with the bedrooms on the second floor.

Kitchen is always clean, it drives me nuts if its dirty. We have an open concept so the living room and kitchen are together and constantly seeing dishes would drive me insane lol, but first thing I start with the bedrooms making beds picking up laundry ect then the master bathroom gotta pick that up! And I usually finish by picking up and organizing the living room

Post by: pmagalei on October 23, 2014, 10:44:22 am
I don't have a specific routine as to which place to clean first except the one the needs the most of my undivided attention. But the most important ones to me are the sink(kitchen), Bathrooms, and the dinning room. The rest of the other rooms are easy to clean because they are not the most frequent and traffic areas in the house.

Post by: Gerianne on October 24, 2014, 08:13:39 am
The kitchen is the one biggest room that needs to be mopped. My mom would take all the chairs and put them in the living room while she mopped. Then, she would move onto the vacuuming the living room. Stairs are a difficult chore, if you have them in your house. Children should participate [we did] in the responsibility of vacuuming their own bedrooms.

I start with laundry, that gets the hot water going, then I stick dishes in to soak, and stick the dogs outside, so I can pick up their toys from all over the floor, vacuum, and then let the dogs in, and I go do the dishes, however the dogs promptly run and dig all their toys back out of the toy box, and one would never know I just picked them up and vacuumed lol

Title: Re: What part of the house do you start cleaning first?
Post by: kapeh12 on October 24, 2014, 09:25:32 pm
Typically it's the kitchen, just out of necessity for clean dishes.  Sometimes it's the bathroom if it gets so bad I can no longer stand it.

The rest of the house gets cleaned when the clutter becomes too much or the dust bunnies start breeding in the corners.

I usually get most of the kitchen done, then I'll do the bathrooms and all the while I have the washer and dryer going.  I'll then clean the den, dust, then mop the kitchen, den and bathrooms.  I save the bedrooms for last just in case I can't get it all done.

I live in a two story house. I usually start out in the living room downstairs. When I'm upstairs, I start out in the master bedroom. Sometimes I do the different floors on different days as downstairs gets more traffic.

Sometimes I start in the living room though...depending on how badly I need to clean.

Post by: workmama on October 31, 2014, 01:54:51 pm
Well, I usually will sweep the kitchen and bathroom floor first. Then mop the floors and while the floors are drying, I vacuum the whole house. After that I dust the family room and the bedrooms. I then clean the bathroom. After that, I will make the whole house smell great using some kind of air freshener. I love the Autumn air fresheners I usually stock up on them and use them all year round. I then go to work on my computer and have something to eat or lay down and take a nap!  :-[

Happy Halloween Everyone!  :pumpkin:

When I clean I usually start in the Kitchen first because that is where we prepare meals and it needs to be cleaned daily so that we can't get any bacteria into our food.  Than I go to the living room and the bathroom is last because when I am done cleaning I want to take a shower so I clean the bathroom except the shower and than I get ready for my shower and I clean the shower first and than I shower and everything is done and clean as well as I am.

Post by: ShadeTree on October 31, 2014, 04:18:29 pm
It depends on what needs cleaning and what type of cleaning needs to be done. If I'm vacuuming the house, I usually start with my bedroom and work my way from one end of the house to the other. Usually rooms get cleaned at different times as needed.
