Sometimes you need to focus solely on getting everything put away where it goes before you even think about deep cleaning.

I'm Ronnie and you're listening to Clean With Me, the podcast where I walk you through cleaning your house step by step.

When you clean along with this show, you'll get more done in less time so you can spend the rest of your day doing what matters most to you.

Thanks for joining me.

In today's episode, we're going to pre-clean your house.

And what I mean by that is the type of cleaning you would do before

a maid service arrived or before you started a deep clean. Okay. So we're going to get your entire house

picked up and ready for a deeper clean whether that deeper clean is

going to be performed by a cleaning service or by you the pre-clean is the first

step and sometimes when we procrastinate about cleaning it's because we

don't want to do the pre-clean. We view it as

tedious, but if you move quickly, the pre-clean is not going to be as difficult as you may think.

First of all, you're going to want to gear up for your cleaning session. Maybe you need to get your house smelling good. You might need to take out the trash and light a candle or start a wax warmer or an essential oil diffuser or if it's a nice day, you might want to open the windows and let some air start circulating through your house but i don't want you

to get sidetracked by starting laundry because the focus is just to get everything picked up and

put away and this is important Sometimes you need to focus solely on getting everything put

away where it goes before you even think about deep cleaning. Now in most of our episodes,

we do dishes and laundry to keep your house functioning, but there

may be areas in your home that just aren't getting picked up.

Maybe your bedroom floor is cluttered.

Maybe your laundry room's a mess.

Maybe you're starting to store things in your living room or your kitchen floor.

And picking up doesn't mean just clearing the floor.
