How To Clean Your Home FAST!

The last thing anyone wants to do on their only day off is slave away cleaning house, especially if the weather is beautiful and everyone is out enjoying it.  There is no way around it – your house absolutely MUST get that little bit of attention weekly, or even daily, in order to maintain a clean living environment and promote better health for you and your family.  While you do need to put in some elbow grease, you DO NOT have to waste your day scrubbing, primping and shining.  Take a look at these pro tips for cleaning your house more efficiently to save time!

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOME FAST

PLAN AHEAD

Decide what you want to accomplish that day and stick to it. If you need to conquer the kitchen, don’t get tempted to organize bedroom closets. Put that aside for another day. If it helps, make a checklist of what you absolutely must take care of. It will keep you on track and save valuable time.

TIME LIMIT

Set a specific amount of time for each task. This helps keep you on schedule and stops you from getting hung up on a smaller task. Use a stopwatch app on your phone or set your kitchen timer to ensure you keep to the time’s that you set.

KEEP SUPPLIES TOGETHER

Have cleaning supplies organized in each room. Kitchen cleansers in the kitchen, etc. For neutral rooms with no closet space, use a central area in the home. This cuts down on time because you don’t have to search for things or travel to the other side of your home for something. Be sure to keep rags, sponges, cleansers, etc. well-stocked.

TOP TO BOTTOM

You will make less mess for yourself if you clean from top to bottom. All of the dust and dirt that you clean from the ceiling and high shelves falls down to the next level of surfaces or even the floor. By not cleaning the top first, you risk having to re-clean lower surfaces.

SKIP IT

If it isn’t dirty, don’t clean it. Some items don’t need to be meticulously maintained daily. They can be cleaned weekly or bi-weekly. No need to worry about them until you need to.

MOP BY HAND

A small bucket with soapy water and a rag are all you need to clean floors you would usually mop. This actually saves you time because you can get the baseboards and hard-to-reach crevices as well.

BE VIGILANT

By noticing what is around you – lamps, cords, tables, etc. – you are less likely to trip or knock something over. We tend to let our minds wander doing monotonous tasks like vacuuming but paying attention to what is going on around you while you clean can save you a bumped shin or scratched knee.
