Advice Needed - General Cleaning Tips/Schedule

General Cleaning

This is a little embarrassing but I’m at a point in my life where I really want to have a very clean, tidy, and organized home, but coming to terms with the fact that I just wasn’t taught these basic life skills growing up. My parents weren’t great with following through on chores, and they had hired house cleaners come once a week for the majority of my childhood so there wasn’t much responsibility put on us kids, or opportunity to even learn it ourselves. Now that I’m on my own, I feel like I have to start over.

What are the basics I need to know for cleaning my own home? How often should certain rooms/areas be deep cleaned? What are the products that actually work vs. what I shouldn’t waste my money on? What cleaning weekly or daily schedule has worked for you?

Any advice is much appreciated!
