Efficient House Cleaning Tips

Everyone loves a clean house but at the same time, they hate cleaning. What is the best way to quickly clean your home?

Most beginners aren't sure whether to vacuum or vacuum first. They wonder whether they should clean the kitchen before the bathroom or vice versa.

Follow this step-by-step guide, based on years of hard-earned experience, to make the most of your time and clean your home quickly:

Clean the whole house, not one room at a time

Cleaning is much more efficient if you choose one task (dusting, vacuuming, mopping) and do the same job in every room of the house instead of cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and then bedrooms. This way you avoid being caught in an endless cleaning cycle and starting the same task over and over again.

Collect all of your cleaning supplies in one caddy

Whether it's a caddy, bucket, or bag, having everything you need to clean in one portable place makes it a lot easier to get the job done. You won't waste time looking for tools while you clean, and you won't have to worry about collecting them before your next run.

Clean up the clutter

Before you start cleaning, go from room to room and pick up the clutter. As you pick up each item - magazines, well-read paperbacks, old sneakers - consider putting it away, throwing it away, or donating it.

Dust and vacuum

Before dusting, make sure the ceiling fans are off. Focus your dust on the tops of furniture and the undersides of shelves, handrails, picture frames, knickknacks, and television screens. For hard-to-reach areas, such as blinds and top shelves, tie a microfiber cloth to the end of a mop or broom. Change bed linen in bedrooms before vacuuming.

Wipe the mirror and glass

Use a damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry cloth to clean all mirrors and glass surfaces.

Disinfect worktops and surfaces

Walk through your home and wipe the hard surfaces - everything from countertops, appliances, and cabinets to doorknobs, light switches, TV remotes, and phones. You should sanitize some of these surfaces, especially those that could spread germs on people's fingers and faces. Make a non-toxic disinfectant solution by mixing a quarter to a half cup of white or apple cider vinegar with a cup of water.

Focus on tubs, sinks, and toilets

Spray cleaner on the kitchen sink than on sinks, bathtubs, and toilets. Let it work for a few minutes so that the cleaner has time to loosen dirt and stains. Then return to the kitchen and start scrubbing. Don't forget to wipe the inside of the microwave. Keep toilets clean.

In the kitchen, too, you want to make sure that your garbage disposal is in tip-top shape. If you're not sure how best to clean a garbage disposal, click here for some useful DIY garbage disposal cleaning tips.

Sweep, then wipe

Sweep the kitchen and bathroom floors. Start by wiping from the farthest corner of the room and go back to the doorway (that is, don't wipe in a corner). Rinse the mop every time you complete a 4 x 4-foot area.

Keep moving when you are vacuuming

Don't worry about getting every nook and cranny when you vacuum. Just keep moving around the house and let the vacuum run in one pass in each carpeted room.

Some tasks don't have to be done every week. This includes waxing the furniture, cleaning the windows, and washing carpets and bath mats. Check out these accessories and use your own judgment.

Don't forget to wash your cleaning supplies regularly

An often overlooked part of cleaning the house is maintaining your cleaning tools. Using a dirty mop or vacuum with a full bag is much less effective and you will end up spending more time cleaning.

Make cleaning a group activity

Teamwork cleaning is one of the best ways to quickly clean a home. Schedule an appointment with your family in advance and assign tasks to each person. Working together while cleaning can be fun and your home will shine in no time.

While cleaning, take care of household items such as B. a defective sink that can cause water damage.
