There is nothing wrong with having a busy lifestyle, and often this is a result of someone juggling many aspects of their life, such as a full-time job, childcare and hobbies and pastimes. However, such a lifestyle is not conducive to a clean and tidy home, and many folks can become upset and frustrated when cleaning tasks take up too much time.
So, for anyone who is too busy to spend hours cleaning their home, here are some top cleaning hacks to cut down the time:
Pay someone else to clean for you!
This is often the most cost and time effective solution for busy people, and with many cleaning companies offering special deals to suit their customers needs, this could be a good idea for you. however, not everyone will have any money left over at the end of the month for hiring a maid or cleaner, so it might be better to try and simplify your cleaning schedule so that you can better manage it yourself.
Use your vacuum cleaner on your carpets and hard floors:
There are some fantastic lightweight and efficient vacuum cleaners on the market nowadays, and in next to no time, you could run your vacuum over all your floors without the need for separate sweeping or mopping.
Pick things up and clear floor spaces:
This may seem so simple and straightforward – and it is – but many folks underestimate its’ importance. Clear and uncluttered floors and surfaces can instantly make a home look cleaner and more organized and require minimum effort from you. Having adequate storage for all these items is important though, no good picking things up if you’ve got nowhere tidy to put them.
Always make your bed:
Even if you don’t have the time and patience to properly make your bed when you get out of it, you should at least make it look tidy. Whether you are the only person who sees your bedroom and bed, or not, the effect of an unmade bed is to make the whole room look a mess and you will feel like a lazy slob, too!
Dust and wipe surfaces, windows and counters:
Stains, smears, and dust can all make your home look far untidier than it need do, and with a sponge, rag or paper towels, you can simply dip them in vinegar and clean all grubby surfaces quickly. For more stubborn stains, you’ll doubtless need some warm, soapy water and a spot of elbow grease, but for all other marks and smears, a light wiping should do the trick.
There’s no reason why keeping a clean home should take up hours of your time, and with these quick cleaning hacks, your home could be clean and tidy in next to no time. For a more intense house cleaning project, reach out to a local cleaning company, but whatever you choose to do, do it before things get out of hand!
