#Clean The Vacuum
Speaking of the vacuum, this is something that is often overlooked when it comes to cleaning. We often forget that appliances that do the cleaning for us, such as the washing machine and dishwasher, also need a good clean from time to time. This includes the vacuum. Before using it, make sure to clean up any hairs and residue that may be stuck at the bottom. Make sure to also clear out the bag, as if it’s full, you’re more likely to be throwing more dust than you are vacuuming up. Also make sure to wash the filter from time to time. This way you will ensure the vacuum is working as effectively as it can.

That’s why our advice is to clean clockwise. Make sure to always end your cleaning where you started it. This way the whole room will get cleaned evenly. Another tip is to carry a basket of some sorts with you while you are cleaning clockwise and put things in it that need to be moved or put away in another part of the room. This way you won’t have to constantly bounce around, and will just place the item when you get to that part of the room.
