With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can be hard to find a moment to clean your home. And yet, a clean and tidy home can actually create peace! Luckily, there are smart and quick ways to keep your home clean, even when your schedule is overflowing. Below, we share 3 quick cleaning tips that you can apply when you have little time.
1. The 10-minute clean-up round
Short on time? Set a timer for 10 minutes. Choose one room in your home, such as the living room or the kitchen, and focus solely on that. In those 10 minutes, you can tick off lots of small tasks: fluff pillows, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and give any surfaces that need a quick wipe. You’ll be amazed at how much you can get done in such a short time!
2. Use multitasking cleaning products
Some cleaning products are designed to clean multiple surfaces. For example, think of all-purpose cleaner , which you can use on furniture, floors and kitchens. These types of all-rounders save you time because you don’t have to keep changing cleaning products and you can quickly go through your cleaning routine.
3. The 'clean while waiting' method
Use the time you normally waste waiting—think of the minutes that pass while you wait for your kettle or your cup of coffee—to do small cleaning tasks. For example, you can quickly clean the sink, sweep crumbs off the counter, or replace the garbage bag. These small tasks can be done in no time and will also make your home look nice and fresh.
It just goes to show that cleaning doesn’t always have to be an hours-long chore. With a few smart tactics, you can keep your home tidy even on the busiest days.
