Effortless Cleaning Tricks for the Time-Starved
If you’re balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, house cleaning can seem overwhelming. But keeping your home spotless doesn’t have to take up all your free time. Here are some quick cleaning hacks to help you maintain a tidy space efficiently, no matter your living situation.
The 10-Minute Tidy-Up
Ever heard of a power hour? Well, think of this as the power ten minutes. Set a timer for ten minutes at the end of each day and focus on tidying up one specific area of your home. It could be the living room one night and the kitchen the next. By consistently dedicating just ten minutes daily, you avoid overwhelming messes and keep things manageable.
Use Multipurpose Cleaners
Stock up on multipurpose cleaners that can tackle different surfaces. Instead of switching between different bottles for wood, glass, and countertops, a single good-quality cleaner can save you time during your routine cleaning. Just spray and wipe down all surfaces in one go—easy peasy!
Basket Organization Trick
Place baskets in key areas around your home where clutter tends to accumulate—think entryway shoes, living room magazines, or bathroom toiletries. When you notice items out of place, simply toss them in the nearest basket. Later on (perhaps during those 10-minute tidy-ups), you can sort through these baskets properly.
Squeegee Shower Doors Daily
Water stains and soap scum build up quickly on shower doors, making them tough to clean once they harden. Keep a squeegee in the bathroom and give those doors a quick wipe-down after each shower. It takes less than a minute but saves you from scrubbing layers of grime later.
Make Your Bed Every Morning
Start your day by making your bed set a positive tone and make your bedroom look instantly neater. Plus, it’s much easier than having to manage tangled sheets and blankets at night when you’re tired from a long day.
