5 Fast Cleaning Tips For Home

There’s nothing like walking into a clean room to get a shot of that tranquility. I know it can be hard to keep up with all the cleaning tasks in the house. But there is a way to cut down on the time and energy spent cleaning your home, and that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you in these 5 steps to cleaning freedom.

1. Focus Only on One Room
By confining yourself to one room at a time, you effectively break your house down into manageable chunks. Once the job is done in one room you’ll get shot of “accomplishment” wich is a great motivator that really helps when you got to clean the rest of the house.

Enter the room with the mindset that you’re going to clean only that room until your done, resist the urge to clean up other rooms, or zip around the house putting things away; Focus.

2. Pick up the Big Stuff First
All the clutter on the floor; toys, balled up socks, jackets, etc are to be cleaned up first.
Grab a basket or bin and spiral around the room picking up the stuff and tossing it into the basket. Once You have all the clutter in the basket set it outside the room but don’t put that stuff away yet; Remember we’re focusing on one room at a time only.

3. Grab your Cleaning Arsenal
Here’s where you step out of the room to gather your cleaning supplies.  The supplies you get depend on the room, so for example if you’re cleaning the living room you might get some window cleaner, duster, vacuum and some furniture polish. The point is to get all your supplies gathered in one trip so you walk back into the room prepared.

I suggest using a bucket to keep all your small cleaning supplies together; convenient to move around and it protects the floor from accidental cleaning product spillage. 

4. Cooperate with Gravity
To work with gravity you’re going to clean the highest point first and move your way down. This little tip will save you from going over the same spot more than once.  So, dust out all the cobwebs and shelves, then table tops, and crumbs from chairs, letting it all settle onto the floor.

5. Finish the Flooring
Now, Sweep and Vacuum; with all the dust and debris on the floor, you make your final cleaning pass around the room really count.

Yes Sir! Done in half the time and in half the energy; this room is super clean and now your pumped to take on the another in the same way. Go for it.
