Deep Cleaning Checklist for Chicagoans

Deep cleaning can be tedious and time-consuming. When people always have to leave the house early and return late and exhausted, there is no time to properly deep clean the home. 

This is the reality for those that live in the Chicago Downtown area. When you live that city life, wishing the home was cleaner but never having the time to deep clean or declutter feels more like the unchangeable lot you’ve been given in life. However, with Junk King Chicago Downtown’s deep cleaning checklist, a clean house is no longer a mirage. Chicagoans can have a clean home throughout the year, even with a busy work schedule. 

If followed, The Junk King deep cleaning and declutter plan will help you accomplish that goal of coming home to clean, organized spaces. Are you ready for such a game-changer? Explore the following steps, and your deep cleaning goals may feel a little more achievable!

Step 1: Make A List

The reason people never get started with deep cleaning is that the task can be pretty overwhelming. To make it easier to handle all that work is to break it up into several small tasks. List the jobs that need to be done in each room. Do not forget the garage, decks, balconies, and porches.

Once a tackle list of tasks for each room is created, assign the rooms a particular time or day of the week. Also, ask household members to help with some spaces for quicker results.

 

Step 2: Divide & Declutter

With your list in hand, approaching each room first to divide and declutter is your best start to a successful job.  Going through stuff in the rooms will reveal what is no longer needed. Sort out the items in piles of what to donate, sell, or dispose of. 

This is really where Junk King Chicago Downtown is your partner in deep cleaning. We have the trucks, the workforce, and the availability to help you get rid of that donation, junk, and recycling pile. Indeed, you can text us a picture of your piles, we’ll shoot you back an estimate, and when we show up, all you need to do is point, and we do all the heavy lifting! You’re going to love walking into your new decluttered room!

 

Step 3: Start At The Top

Once you get your rooms decluttered and hauled off, don’t be discouraged– you just accomplished the hard part! We recommend doing the rest of the cleaning by starting with the top surfaces and working your way downwards; finishing with the floors will ensure you get every square inch of your home clean.
