Kitchen

Focus on food-preparation surfaces, dishes, floors and the cleaning needs described by appliance and surface manufacturers.

Bathroom

Bedrooms and living areas

Dust, floors, linens and clutter often drive the routine more than intensive product use.

Utility and storage spaces

Periodic inspection and organization can matter more than frequent cosmetic cleaning.
