Cleaning is not always something at the top of the list of most people. Okay, almost nobody. With a proper game plan, however, you can get it done with a minimum of fuss.

As you might guess, the game plan you should employ depends upon the cleaning that needs to be done. What do I mean? Well, you might be looking for a regular maintenance schedule. On the other hand, you might be looking for the best approach for a one-time blast of spring cleaning. That being said, there are some general guidelines to follow for all cleaning efforts.

The first part of any cleaning game plan is the concept of top to bottom. As odd as it sounds, we need to talk about the notion of gravity. Specifically, anything you disturb tends to fall towards the ground. If it doesn't, you are living in some type of scientific anomaly. Regardless, you should always focus on starting your cleaning effort with the ceiling and then working down towards the floor. If you disturb dust or something falls, it really doesn't matter since you will be cleaning the floor last.

The second part of any cleaning game plan concerns compartmentalization. If you have a larger home, you need to serious consider focusing on a specific area instead of trying to do the entire home at the same time. If you have let things slide, cleaning a bathroom or kitchen can take hours. If you try to do this as part of a day or weekend cleaning session for the entire home, you are going to grow discouraged. Inevitably, this will lead to a poor job or just quitting in frustration.

The third step of any cleaning effort is to step back and put a plan into action. Simply put, you can avoid monstrous cleaning jobs by doing a little bit every weekend. Attempting to clean a house all at once is pretty much the definition of misery. To avoid this, write out a schedule. Every Sunday afternoon, plan on hitting one part of the house for an hour or less. By taking this incremental approach, the home stays clean and it is easier to clean as well. A bathroom that is cleaned every three weeks builds up less dirt and gunk than one that is cleaned every three months or so.

In summary, your best cleaning game plan is to do sections every so often and work from top to bottom. If you can stick to this schedule for a few weeks, it will become part of your routine. This will, of course, lead to a clean home.
