STARTING AT THE BOTTOM
Look up, not down — that’s where you should start cleaning in every room. “It can be tempting to start with the baseboards and carpets, then work your way up to furniture and drapes,” says Natalie Wise.
“Instead, it’s much better to start at the top, with ceiling fans and drapes, and let any flyaway dust and dirt settle on the next ‘layer’ before cleaning that section. Otherwise, you’ll have ceiling fan dust falling on your nicely cleaned floors.”
