The kitchen is another area that can accumulate a lot of grime. Nana starts at the top, dusting light fixtures and cabinet tops. She wipes down cabinets, countertops, and all appliances, especially focusing on the stovetop and oven. The sink is scrubbed until it sparkles, and the trash can is emptied and disinfected. Finally, she mops the floor, ensuring all spills and stains are removed. By cleaning from top to bottom, she ensures that any dirt knocked loose lands on a surface she hasn’t yet cleaned.
Special Attention to Windows and Curtains
Windows and curtains are often overlooked but can significantly impact the overall cleanliness of a home. Nana cleans all windows inside and out, using a streak-free window cleaner and a microfiber cloth. She dusts or washes curtains and blinds to remove any accumulated dust and grime. Clean windows and fresh curtains let in more light and make spaces seem brighter and more inviting.
Vacuuming and Dusting All Surfaces
A thorough vacuuming and dusting session is essential to remove any lingering dust and debris. Nana vacuums upholstered furniture, carpets, and rugs, ensuring every area is covered. She also dusts all surfaces, from top shelves to baseboards. Using attachments on the vacuum cleaner, she gets into crevices and corners that often harbor dust. This final pass-through helps to achieve a deep clean throughout the house.
