Having a dynamic and systematic cleaning process can save time and ensure good results. Here are some tips to make this task as practical as possible.
1. Prepare what's needed
Gather all the cleaning products, appliances, and accessories you'll need for this cleaning. Some essential items include:

2. Time to tidy the room
Put dirty towels and clothes in the wash, remove rugs, replace toilet paper and hygiene products, and empty the rubbish. All these small steps are important to make cleaning quicker and more efficient.

Before starting wet cleaning, it's essential to vacuum any hair, pet fur, and dust that may be present.

After vacuuming, the next step is to clean the sink, toilet, bidet, bathtub or shower tray with appropriate accessories.
When cleaning the toilet, the tiles should also be considered, although you don't need to clean them every week.
