But if you follow these Living Room Deep Cleaning Tips from a professional cleaning service, your living room will be spotless in no time.

Start with a thorough trusted cleaning professionals or sweep of your floor and carpets, paying special attention to the corners and hard-to-reach areas. Use a long-handled duster or a clean microfiber cloth secured to the end of a broom or mop handle to reach high ceilings and fans. Wipe down wood furniture using a polish and furniture cleaner (we love this brand), and wipe all remaining surfaces including windows, baseboards and lampshades with a microfiber cloth dampened with a mixture of vinegar and water or window cleaner.

Empty and dust all decorative items from tables, shelves and built-ins. Then, remove and wash throw pillow covers and couch cushion covers (these can be washed in the washing machine if they are fabric) and wipe down all cushions. Organize and dust all remaining decorative items like picture frames, vases and knick-knacks with a cotton tube sock (or a clean, white microfiber one) tucked into the dominant hand, moving objects out of the way as you move along each surface.

Last but not least, mop your hardwood or tile floors if you have them. Mop a small area at a time, squeezing the mop frequently to keep it fresh. To make this task even more efficient, purchase a Swiffer WetJet to get a bucket-free mopping experience.
