Entryway and Living Areas

- Clean Flooring – Vacuum or sweep floors to remove any debris. Follow up with mopping or a specialised cleaner depending on your floor type.

- Sink and Faucets – Use a disinfectant cleaner to scrub the sink and faucets, ensuring they shine.
- Backsplashes – Clean any tiled areas with a suitable tile cleaner to remove grout and residue.
Bathrooms
