Living a busy lifestyle means that the household chores may get put on the back burner. If you?re like me and find that company is about to come over but your home isn?t quite up to par, then today I have some tips for you. I?ll show you the top 3 tips to get your home feeling real clean, real quick without stressing.
Get Your Home Feeling Real Clean, Real Quick
Set Minutes Per Room
For starters you?ll need to give yourself a specific number of minutes per room to ensure you don?t procrastinate on getting the rooms clean. Allow yourself about 6 minutes per bedroom, 7 minutes per bathroom, 7 minutes for the living room and dining room area, and 12 minutes for the kitchen. Any addition rooms should be allotted between 7-12 minutes depending on the size and usage of the room.
Start at the Top
Remember that wiping counters down will lead to dust or debris falling onto your floor. This means you?ll want to start with countertops first. Be sure to wipe down all countertops in every room before you venture into the cleaning of your floors. If you?re looking for the best floors when company arrives, this is the best method to ensure you?re able to get those floors shiny clean real fast.
Get Dishes Done
In addition to starting with countertops, you?ll want to make sure that all dishes have been washed and taken care of. If you have a dishwasher, then get that started before you venture into each bedroom or cleaning of the floors. Completing easy tasks like washing the dishes and cleaning off your countertops before cleaning your floor will help speed up the process of getting your home feeling clean faster.
