How to Clean Your Living Room Like A Pro?

Struggling to keep your living room spotless? Wondering how to clean like a pro without all the hassle? You’re not alone. Cleaning your home isn’t just about making it look good—it’s about creating a space that brings comfort and peace. At Emera, we believe that cleaning can be a mindful practice, leading to a sense of mental flow and boosting your overall well-being. Let’s dive into how you can transform your living room with ease.

6 Essential Tips for a Spotless Living Space

1. Declutter Your Space: Assess What You Need, Put Items Away Immediately, And Vacuum Last To Catch Settled Dust

Your home might not always be dirty, but it can easily become cluttered. All those items you don’t need, use, or know where to put can quickly pile up and make your space feel overwhelming. Even after cleaning, you might not feel that satisfying “clean house” vibe. Here’s how you can declutter and reclaim your space:

- Ask yourself if you really need it. If you can’t remember the last time you used something or don’t know when you’ll need it again, consider tossing it or donating it. Remember, if something looks and feels like junk and no one knows what to do with it, it probably is.

- Put things away when you’re done with them. Make it a habit for yourself and your family. If someone leaves something out, put it away, and let them know it’s gone if they ask. A few reminders usually help establish this new routine.
- Save vacuuming for last. This ensures you’ll pick up any dirt or dust that settled on the floor during your decluttering process.

2. Dust All Surfaces From Top To Bottom With A Damp Microfibre Cloth

When cleaning your living room, simply follow the steps mentioned below:

Step 1: Dry dust first

Use a soft cloth or feather duster for hard-to-reach spots (ceiling fans, curtain rods, etc.).

Step 2: Dust from top to bottom

Prevent dust from falling onto cleaned surfaces.

Step 3: Use a damp microfiber cloth

Wipe baseboards, frames, tables, and window sills to remove any leftover dust.

Step 4: Clean your TV carefully

Wipe with a new microfiber cloth in an up-and-down motion. For marks, slightly dampen the cloth—never spray directly on the screen.

For wood furniture, especially antique pieces, using Emera’s Glass and Wood Cleaner or furniture polish can help protect the wood from moisture. Always read the product instructions, and if unsure, consult a furniture expert. If you’re using a new product for the first time, do a small spot test in an inconspicuous area first.

3. Clean Windows and Mirrors with an Organic Glass and Wood Cleaner

Cleaning your living room should include polishing the windows and mirrors to a nice shine. You can use a commercial glass cleaner or make your own at home.

For the best results, try Emera’s exceptional, non-damaging, eco-friendly DIY Glass & Wood Cleaner. Just spray the cleaner all over the surface and use a soft cloth to wipe in circular motions for a streak-free finish.

4. Wipe Down Light Fixtures: Cleaning Drapes and Blinds

Dust can accumulate on drapes and blinds even with regular use. Use a handheld vacuum for easy cleaning, and consider dry cleaning for major stains. Different blinds require different methods: vacuum first, then wipe with a microfiber cloth, adjusting the blinds as you go.

For a thorough clean, try Emera’s all-surface cleaner. It’s perfect for wiping down blinds and other surfaces, providing an easy and effective solution for your cleaning needs.

5. Refresh The Seating Area Along With The Decor

To refresh your seating area, start by removing cushions and small items from couches and chairs. Vacuum corners with a nozzle and use the upholstery attachment for the main areas

If your pillow covers are removable, follow the label’s washing instructions, then vacuum the cushions. For light stains on delicate fabrics like linen or velvet, gently clean. Use Emera’s Glass and Wood Cleaner for any wooden parts of your furniture. Don’t forget to clean your leather couch with care and refresh throw blankets with a gentle wash.

You’re almost done! If you’re shampooing rugs or carpets, clean the floors last. For plush carpets, work in straight lines and move furniture when possible. If you have pets, consider upgrading to a top-rated pet hair vacuum. For hardwood, stone, or laminate floors, vacuum thoroughly, then mop with Emera’s floor cleaner for a spotless finish, ensuring the floor is dry before replacing rugs or allowing kids and pets back in the room.

How Often Should I Clean My Living Room?

How often you should clean your living room depends on your lifestyle. If you’re good at keeping clutter to a minimum and things don’t get too messy, cleaning once a week might be enough. But if you have pets, kids, or other factors that add to the mess, you might need to clean more often.

It also depends on your cleaning style. If you enjoy a challenge and have the energy, tackling everything in one big weekly clean might work best. If you prefer a steady approach, you could clean a little bit every day.
