Declutter
Use big labeled boxes or bins...Keep but move, Store, Give away, Throw away. As you are cleaning, toss things that are out of place or that you don't want or need anymore in the appropriate box

Go room by room
This way you will have something finished before you start the next one. If you do all the windows, then all the dusting, then all the floors....If you are interrupted...nothing is DONE.
