When there is time to clean only one part of the house, where do you begin? The kitchen sink, the bathroom or the bedroom might win for entirely practical reasons. Your answer can help shape a manageable routine without turning the first room on your list into a personality label.

Before starting, read product and surface-care instructions, ventilate as directed and use any specified protection. Never mix cleaning products, including bleach with other cleaners. Keep supplies securely away from children and pets. CDC distinguishes ordinary cleaning from disinfecting; routine disinfection is generally unnecessary unless someone is sick or has particular vulnerability, so choose the task and product for the situation.
