How Do You Clean and Tidy a House Fast?

Room-by-room house cleaning is a matter of many mini chores. House-care and maintenance can be broken down into a series of relatively simple and painless tasks, many of which can be accomplished quickly whilst you talk on the telephone or during commercial breaks as you watch TV. Multi-tasking is a great way from preventing small jobs from becoming big ones. Take some tips from the experts to achieve cost-effective home cleaning.

1. Spills in the refrigerator should be wiped up immediately. Give the bottoms of any jars or containers in the fridge a quick going over with a wet cloth at the same time. This will prevent the spilt liquid sticking to the shelves and pots. Get rid of any out of date produce whilst you are sorting out the fridge.

2. Cut down on the time it takes to remove the dirt from kitchen floors by applying the wax or polish with a long-handled paint applicator. Fingerprints should be promptly wiped off any work surfaces. Dispose of any accrued take-away containers before they become piled-up.

3. When cooking, rinse off any pots, pans and utensils that you have finished with as you go and then put them into the dishwasher. This kind of organization will mean you will have less work to do after you have eaten. If there is spare room in the dishwasher, don’t waste it. Fill the gaps with items such as the covers from your stove’s burners or small shelves from the fridge.

4. You can de-clutter whilst doing other things such as waiting on hold on the phone or even having a conversation. Use the time to remove unwanted and unnecessary items from places like a handbag, purse or a kitchen junk drawer. The less clutter you store, the more space you will have to put away things that you do need to keep.

5. Store your cleaning materials and cloths close to the bathroom so that you can reach into the closet each time you go into the bathroom and dust or give the floor a polish quickly without making a specific journey. Disposable make-up removal cloths can be re-used after wiping your face to wipe over the sink, taps or floor. After shaving and brushing of teeth a dry towel is the ideal cleaner for removing spots from bathroom mirrors.

6. Your toilet will benefit from using a quarter of a cup of baking soda in the bowl after flushing. The time it takes to take a shower is enough for the baking soda to clean the toilet bowl with one quick scrub. Rinse by flushing. A squeegee will get the shower cubicle, bath tub and tiles clean in no time after bathing.

7. You can save time in the mornings by keeping the house clean and tidy at night. Set the table for breakfast. Pick up any loose items such as TV remote controls, discard old newspapers and magazines and take out the trash. This kind of piecemeal cleaning will mean you should only need professional cleaners for more specialised tasks such as upholstery restoration and leather sofa cleaning.      

Residential properties should always be kept clean and tidy as they reflect on the competence of the homeowner to meeting guest. A first impression often lasts. Hygiene and orderliness are safer for your kids and attractive to guest. Living rooms and kitchens are high-priority areas in any home cleaning system, both in terms of the health and safety of your family.
