How to clean an entryway – 11 steps to smarten up your hall

First impressions count, which is why a dirty entryway is the last thing you want to be welcoming your guests into.

Although we may not spend much time in our entryways, they accumulate dust and dirt just as fast, if not faster, than elsewhere in our homes thanks to the constant movement of outdoor shoes and coats, and packages through the space. 

We have put together a series of the best expert cleaning tips for entryways, so you don’t miss any spots in this space.  

There are a few things you can do to make this high-traffic spot easier to clean. For a start, it is a good idea to keep some regularly used cleaning tools to hand in entryway closets. 

Some good essentials could be a mop or broom, a multi-purpose cleaner and microfiber cloth, and a vacuum, suggests Ahmad Jamal, cleaning expert at CleanersAdvisor. On top of this, consider establishing a regular cleaning routine to help prevent dirt and debris from accumulating and becoming harder to clean.

Once you have your supplies, these steps make it simple to clean from top to bottom.
