How to Clean Homes for New Home Builders

After a builder builds a new home, the home usually has dirt and debris that have to be removed. Thus, the builder will hire someone to clean the home and to encourage potential buyers to buy the home. Thus, many contractors will hire someone to clean the home before they put the home on the market, and you could be that someone.

Supplies

• Spray bottles


• Water


• Rubber gloves


• White vinegar


• Old newspaper 


• Paper towels


• Bucket 


• Mild dish detergent


• Buffer (optional)

Windows

1. Purchase commercially prepared window cleaning agents or create your own window cleaning solution. Take one part each of vinegar and water place in a clean spray bottle with a teaspoon of mild dish washing detergent and shake the bottle well.


2. Dust the windows with a duster to remove dirt from the windows. Take the spray bottle and spray the windows and leave the solution on the window for a minute or two. Use an old newspaper or paper towel and wipe the window, changing the newspaper often. 


3. Squirt any streaks with your window cleaner lightly and wipe using either a clean paper towel or a newspaper. If you have difficulty moving the streak, buff it off.

Kitchens

1. Dust all kitchen surfaces first. Get a cup of distilled white vinegar and a teaspoon of dish liquid detergent and add to a gallon of water. Now, wipe the kitchen surfaces using the sponge.


2. Clean your refrigerator and stove using a damp sponge with baking soda. The baking soda will not only clean the two appliances but will leave a nice fresh scent as well.


3. Mop the floor using a household cleaning agent such as vinegar and a small quantity of dishwashing liquid with warm water. Clean your hardwood floors with Murphy oil instead of this solution because the vinegar solution will destroy the hardwood floor.

Walls

1. Use a microfiber cleaning cloth and remove dust from the walls. 


2. Mix a cup of distilled vinegar and a teaspoon liquid dish detergent with a gallon warm water and clean the walls in the home.  


3. Remove scuffmarks and stains off the wall using a magic eraser product. 

Bathrooms 

1. Use the same vinegar and water solution you created earlier and clean the bathroom shower and tub. In place of the vinegar, you can add bleach instead.


2. Wipe the toilet with sponge that you dip into the vinegar cleaning agent and make sure you clean not only the front section but behind the tank as well as under the rim.


3. Mop the bathroom floor using the cleaning solution. For tile grout, use paste of water and baking soda combine and scrub.
