Clean More Efficiently: Time-Saving Hacks for a Tidy Home

Everyone who LOVES to clean their house raise their hand? Anyone? I don’t see any hands. Ok my daughter is raising her hand but if I asked who likes to clean their room she would quickly put it down. I recently won a Kindle Paperwhite and totally love it. I already had a Kindle account for my iPad so when I got the Kindle all set up it showed me my previous purchases and had no idea I had purchased “How to Clean Your House in Half the Time“. I guess at some point I must have decided I wanted to clean more efficiently

How To Clean Your House in Half the Time

I set aside some time to read the book and pick up a few tips. I can’t post them all after all that wouldn’t be fair to the author so you will have to purchase the book to see what they have (I no longer see this book for sale, see my notes at the bottom for similar reads).

5 Tips To Clean More Efficiently

How To Clean Your Microwave

Put a bowl with half a cup of water and half a cup of vinegar in the microwave for three minutes. This makes cleaning the inside a piece of cake! I still use this tip every time I clean my microwave.

Clean and Soak

Spray your areas and let them soak, your tub, shower, toilet bowl, counters, etc. while cleaning your mirrors and other areas. After everything has soaked then clean. Too many people spray and clean and don’t let the product do the work it is supposed to do.

Grab Your Supplies

Purchase a good caddy or bucket and make sure you have all your cleaning supplies before you start. Your rags, products, vacuum (like the one pictured below), mop, etc. Keep them all together in the caddy for easy to get to and move from room to room.

Where to Start

Start with your hard rooms first like your bathroom and kitchen. Usually, as time goes by you get tired and fizz out before you finish by leaving the easier rooms for last you are more inclined to finish up.

Work From Top to Bottom

Start with the top of your cabinets, mirrors, light fixtures, and fans, and work your way down so you have an organized system of how you are going to tackle the room. Also, work from left to right or right to left.

These are all great tips to help clean more efficiently. Below are some additional books that can help you organize and tackle cleaning your home quickly and stress-free.
