Why is a weekly cleaning routine important?

Keeping your home clean isn’t just about appearances — it also reduces allergens, bacteria, and general wear and tear. A well-structured weekly cleaning plan helps prevent dirt build-up, saves time, and creates a healthier living environment.

Recommended Weekly Cleaning Plan

At Net i Pulit, we recommend spreading out your cleaning tasks throughout the week. This avoids burnout and keeps your home consistently fresh. Here's a simple example:

Monday – Dust and surfaces

Wipe down furniture, tables, shelves, and screens with a microfiber cloth.
Check corners and high areas (lamps, picture frames).
Vacuum sofas or upholstery if needed.

Wednesday – Bathroom and kitchen

Clean the toilet, shower, sink, and mirrors.
Use anti-limescale products on tiles and taps.
In the kitchen: wipe counters, stove, and microwave.
Check the fridge for expired food and clean it with a damp cloth.

Friday – Floors and interior windows

Sweep or vacuum all floors.
Mop with disinfectant (choose based on the floor type: ceramic, wood, etc.).
Clean interior windows if you have time.

Weekend – Light touch-up or rest

Do a quick check of high-traffic areas (entrance, bathroom).
Or simply take a break — you’ve earned it!

Professional Cleaning Products We Recommend

High-quality microfiber cloths (leave no streaks and trap dust better).
Neutral multi-purpose disinfectant (gentler than harsh chemicals).
White vinegar for cleaning (especially in bathrooms and kitchens).
Microfiber mop with a double-compartment bucket.
Vacuum cleaner or cleaning robot for time-saving automation.

Common Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Using the same cloth throughout the house (cross-contamination).
Mixing bleach with other products (can release toxic gases).
Mopping before sweeping or vacuuming (spreads dirt).
Skipping key areas like doorknobs, light switches, or corners.

When is it worth hiring a professional cleaning service?

Even with a solid routine, there are times when professional help makes a big difference:

You’re short on time or overwhelmed.
You have pets or young children.
After renovations or moving in/out.
For monthly deep cleans (windows, blinds, appliances...).
