- Scrubbing Floors: Mop the floors and scrub tiles in bathrooms and kitchens to remove dirt that accumulates.
- Cleaning Windows: Clean all windows and window sills (the horizontal structure or surface at the bottom of a window), as they tend to gather dust.
- Cleaning Under Furniture: Move furniture and clean underneath to remove hidden dust and debris.
- Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from carpets and rugs.
