The Golden Rules of Cleaning – A Professional Standard for a Cleaner Home

Cleaning isn’t just about wiping surfaces—it’s a mindset. At MrMaid, we see cleaning not as a chore, but as an essential act of care that enhances daily life. Whether it’s a routine weekly visit or a one-off deep clean, following the golden rules of cleaning ensures that every job is done thoroughly, efficiently, and respectfully. These rules form the foundation of our cleaning philosophy—and they make all the difference.

✨ 1. Tidy First, Clean After

No cleaner can work effectively in a cluttered space. Tidying up before cleaning not only shows respect for the process—it also allows proper access to surfaces. A tidy environment reduces cleaning time and improves results.

2. Always Clean From Top to Bottom

Professional cleaners follow gravity. Cleaning high shelves or wiping ceiling fans first means dust and debris will fall—so we always save the floors for last. It’s a small shift in approach that leads to a big increase in efficiency.

3. Use the Right Product for the Right Surface

Not all cleaning products are created equal. An all-purpose spray may work in a pinch, but long-term care requires thoughtful choices. At MrMaid, we match every product to its purpose—whether it’s limescale remover in the bathroom or gentle polish for wooden furniture.

4. Cleaning Should Be Regular, Not Reactive

Waiting until things “look dirty” is too late. A regular cleaning schedule prevents buildup, protects surfaces, and creates a consistently clean atmosphere. Weekly or bi-weekly cleaning is the true key to a healthy home.

5. Don’t Ignore the Corners

Dirt hides where it’s least visible: behind furniture, in tile grout, under radiators. A good cleaner doesn’t skip those spaces—they seek them out. Our teams are trained to go beyond the obvious and deliver true deep cleaning.

️ 6. Ventilation Matters

Fresh air is part of a clean environment. We open windows where possible to reduce moisture, eliminate lingering smells, and help the home breathe again. Clean air equals clean living.

7. Hygiene During Cleaning Is Non-Negotiable

Professional cleaning starts with personal protection. Gloves, fresh cloths, clean tools—these aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re essential. We protect both our cleaners and your home with high hygiene standards from start to finish.

Final Thought

Great cleaning isn’t just about products or technique—it’s about care, consistency, and a clear set of principles. At MrMaid, these golden rules are part of every visit. When you choose us, you’re not just booking a cleaner. You’re choosing a partner who respects your home like their own.
