Many consider deep cleaning a tedious ritual, but with the right approach, it can even be therapeutic. The key is to break the process down into stages and follow a clear plan. In just two days, you can completely renovate your home without losing your energy or spirits.

Start by “zoning.” Divide your home into zones: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. On the first day, focus on the “wet” areas—the kitchen and bathroom—where bacteria and grease accumulate the most. On the second day, tackle dust, textiles, and surfaces.
Use multi-purpose cleaners to avoid overloading your arsenal. A mixture of vinegar, water, and a few drops of essential oil is suitable for most surfaces except natural stone. A paste of baking soda and water is effective for grease on the stovetop and range hood—apply, wait 15 minutes, and rinse.
Don’t forget about “invisible” places: under the refrigerator, behind the toilet, inside the microwave. These areas accumulate dirt over the years. Clean them thoroughly once a quarter—use an old toothbrush for hard-to-reach corners.
