Clean in the Right Order
This is the rule pros never break. Dust and debris fall downward. Clear clutter first, clean high surfaces next, work room by room, and save floors for absolutely last.
Use Microfiber
Microfiber cloths pick up dust better than paper towels and help prevent streaks.
Let Cleaners Dwell
Spray bathrooms first, give products time to work, then come back and wipe.
Tips Pros Use Every Visit
- Clean top to bottom: fans, vents, shelves, blinds, counters, fixtures, then floors.
- In kitchens, clear and dry wipe first. Then degrease cabinet fronts, handles, stove areas, and touch points.
- Watch the hidden buildup: faucet bases, sink edges, refrigerator handles, light switches, toe kicks, and floor edges.
- Keep separate microfiber cloths for bathrooms and kitchens to avoid cross-contamination.
- Vacuum or sweep before mopping so wet debris does not get pushed around.
- Do not skip edges along baseboards, under furniture, and in corners.
- Finish one room before moving to the next so you do not miss spots or re-contaminate clean areas.
When To Call a Crew
Some homes need more than a single maintenance pass. Grease buildup, soap scum, hard water stains, move-in dirt, move-out dust, and large homes can take most of a day if one person does it alone.
A trained crew can cover a whole home faster because people can work different rooms at the same time while still following the top-to-bottom order.
Alex's Cleaning Service sends a crew of 3-4 trained cleaners to every home. We follow the same order and checklist for deep cleans, move-ins, move-outs, and recurring upkeep.
We serve Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, Vail, and nearby areas.
