Most important general cleaning tip

The most important tip for any cleaning and maintenance is to do it regularly. If you clean the regularly used kitchen cupboard handles every day for example, bacteria have less chance to develop. If you descale the bathroom every week, it's a lot less work than when you delay the process, and a stubborn layer of limescale forms in the meantime. And what about your jewellery? The more often you polish it, the more beautiful it will stay.
