You know what I mean? Some housekeepers just make your home sparkle, while others just get them clean.

What makes the difference? There are a few basic steps to getting things sparkling clean. Eliminate loose dirt, dissolve the "stuck-on" dirt, completely rinse, and dry completely. Remember these four simple steps and your surfaces will come out sparkling clean. When drying mirrors, faucets, or shiny tile, I like to reserve one soft, absorbent cotton cloth for the final buffing. It makes all the difference, and helps to economize on cleaning cloth usage.
