The secret to cleaning? Getting started.

Ready to roll up your sleeves and get right to it? Here are some tips to get your house in tip-top shape from the pros at Two Maids of Greenville.

Keep windows crystal clear with this homemade solution:

2 tsp cornstarch
15 oz white vinegar
15 oz filtered water

Add it all to a 32 oz spray bottle and your windows will be squeaky clean in no time.

Stop dirt in its tracks with a top-notch vacuum:

The Two Maids team tested 12 vacuums to find the best one. The winner: Shark Navigator.

"This vacuum is lightweight, has pro-level suction, features a long cord, and doesn't require a bag — plus, we loved the HEPA filter."

Get rid of grease and debris with a quality cleaner:

The team recommends 409 Stone and Steel after using it in their busy test kitchen. It cleans and polishes stainless steel and granite surfaces, leaving a streak-free finish.

Try this trick to keep household flies away:

The next time you notice flies on your windows, try a couple of blasts of window cleaner.
