I vacuum the floor usually first from the living room - kitchen area in my studio and the last area which I vacuum is the toilet. I'm a little bit lazy what comes to washing the dishes. Thank god I wash my dishes more often nowadays when I have reduced my screen time at the computer.

I always start by cleaning up and throwing out what ever trash there might be around, like wrappers or similar. Then i put back things to it's place, dust and clean everything and then take the floor last. I usually take bathroom first and everything else in what ever order.

actually just started with the bathroom! and then might start with the clothes that are on the floow and then maybe the shoes in the hallway that are all over the place because i can't do anything in a calm and sensible manner

2) clean, dust, wipe etc.
3) floors
4) finishing touches

that's my usual order
i live in a tiny studio apartment, but i think i'd do it in the same order even if i had more than one room

i feel like it's easier to clean too, when you kind of put things back to it's place. because it will leave a better overview of what needs to be done!

aah yes that's a good and methodic way !! for some reason i like doing 1 and 2 at the same time, so, remove the things from the area, wipe it clean and then put them back. then i get a small dose of endorphines before i move onto the next area ahahah idk if that's efficient but it's kinda neat (hehe - neat... yeah)

and final touches are always nice !! and u can save them for the hour before the guests arrive yayY

do u like cleaning ?

i clean a big house & an office every week, i usually go by this order;
1) move everything aside beforehand so nothings in ur way once you start
2) dust everything, use very little all-purpose cleaner so the dust doesn't stick!! if your cleaning cloth is (too) wet the dust will stick as well, which means having to go over the same area way more times & getting irritated lol
3) clean the kitchen area, dust it first then use some more all-purpose cleaner for stubborn, hard to clean spots
4) bathroom time, same thing as above; use little all-purpose cleaner first for the dusting, then more for stubborn spots (such as toothpaste spots or something). clean ur shower head! for the toilet; use a gel specifically made for cleaning the inside (?) of the toilet, to get rid of any tarnish.
5) then do the floors. always vaccuum before mopping!

ahh
yes exactly! but also if you're not having guests, it's nice to like put a little effort into your space just to make yourself happy you know. i love getting fresh flowers!

it's one of those things that i always procrastinate and leave for as long as possible, but once i put on an audiobook or something and just get started it's almost meditative

vacuum everything + dusting

clean all surfaces

also studio:
1) make bed - so i have a clean space to put shit on if i need to move things around or fold laundry etc
2) but dirty dishes in sink to soak
3) all the garbage/food wrappers etc in the garbage, i'll usually take the garbage bag out of the can and hang it somewhere accesable if it isn't super full cause it makes it easier.
4) dirty dishes + wiping down the kitchen
5) folding clothes that are clean enough to wear again + throwing dirt stuff in the laundry basket (eye dont do laundry on cleaning day im lazy)
6) wiping surfaces + removing cat hair
7) take out kitty litter + garbage
8 ) vaccum + mopping
DONE!!!

I do the bathroom on a separate day/later when i have a shower (sans vacuuming which i do in one go)
dirty dishes and garbage is always my priority cause that becomes a health hazard lmao, and i like vacuuming last cause i feel like dust n stuff from cleaning get on the floors??
