Just 2 weeks before Christmas. With work, shopping, entertaining,and decorating who can even think about cleaning the house!
Here are some speed cleaning tips.
1. Carry an old pillow case from room to room with you to collect items that don't belong there.
2. Carry 2 trash bags with you - one for trash and one for charity.
3. If it isn't dirty, don't clean it. Think about it - how often do you wipe the entire front of the refrigerator or cabinet when all that's really dirty are the fingerprints and smudges around the handles? Save the overall cleaning for another time.
4. Start cleaning in the kitchen - the most used room in the house. Wipe where you see dirt
5. Learn to multitask. If you head in the direction of the washing machine, take a load of clothes with you. Leaving for the grocery store? Take the garbage out with you.
6.The pros simplify their cleaning by simplifying the products they use! They can tote all the products they need in one tray: What products do they use?
* light-duty evaporating cleaner (glass cleaner or multi-surface cleaner)
* heavy-duty degreasing cleaner
* tile cleaner
* powdered abrasive cleanser
That's it! No soap scum remover, no special counter spray, no single-use products designed to clean only blinds or fans or walls. The pros know that these four simple products can handle any ordinary cleaning chore.
Take a page from the pros! You'll save money as well as time if you streamline cleaning products. Check out these non-toxic cleaning products.
