Following the Law of Gravity, every bit of dirt and dust will fall down. So it is advisable to start the cleaning from top. Clean the ceiling, fans, chandelier, lights, walls, furniture and then come to the floor when all the dirt and dust have settled down well. Now vacuum the wooden floor and carpets and sweep and wipe the tiled and marble floors to make it sparkling clean.

​2. Living room- welcoming the guest (5 minutes)
