With this practical guide, you will find a clean house in 1 hour flat. Look :
When I was still in college, I worked several summers as a cleaning lady, to make ends meet.
Through this experience, I learned some great tips to speed up cleaning.
And today I can tell you: YES, it is quite possible to clean an ENTIRE medium-sized house. in less than 1 hour!
Obviously, this takes work and concentration.
Not allowed to leaf through magazines you are putting away or spend time looking at Facebook on your phone.
If you follow this guide WITHOUT taking a break, you too will have a sparkling clean home in no time. Let's go !
Always start at the top
No matter what room you are cleaning, always start cleaning from top to bottom.
Why ? This way, the dirt and dust will fall naturally on the lower surfaces which you will clean afterwards.
Start by cleaning the dust off your wall shelves. If you have a ceiling fan, now is the time to have it.
Then, dust the furniture and other furnishings by deliberately letting the dust and dirt fall on the floor.
It is only during the last step that you will clean the floors and thus remove all the dirt and dust. in just one time.
The bedroom in 6 min
-Remove the sheets from the bed and put on clean sheets. To avoid bending your back when changing the fitted sheet, lift the corner of the mattress with one hand and insert the corners of the fitted sheet with the other.
- Put away all the objects that are messy. If you're in a real rush, put all of these items in a small basket or plastic box, then put them out of sight in a cupboard for storage at another time.
- Wipe the furniture with a microfiber cloth and anti-dust spray, always working from top to bottom.
The bathroom in 7 min
- If you have several bathrooms or toilets at home, it is more efficient to clean them all at once. Take a quick tour of all the bathrooms and toilets first, then clear all the flat surfaces first. Then spray surfaces and showers / tubs with a homemade cleaner like this. Leave it on while you clean the toilet.
- Return to each bathroom and toilet to wipe down surfaces, rinse showers / tubs, and clean mirrors.
- To save time, clean your bathroom floors at the same time as the kitchen.
The living room and the dining room in 7 minutes
- First, put all messy items in cupboards and shelves.
- Starting from one corner of the room, walk around the room and remove dust from surfaces, always working from top to bottom. If you have blinds or ceiling fans, clean them first.
- Use the brush (the one with the soft bristles) on your vacuum cleaner to vacuum and clean sofas, armchairs and other upholstered furniture.
- As a final step, vacuum the living room, dining room and all carpeted and rugs in the house.
Cooking in 12 min
- Put all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and fill the sink with hot soapy water. If your gas cooker grates also need cleaning, soak them in hot, soapy water.
- Store messy items on countertops.
- Dip a sponge in the sink and wring it out to remove excess soapy water. With the sponge, wipe down wall units, countertops and any other surface, always working from top to bottom. During this cleaning, rinse the sponge in the sink from time to time: you will be amazed by the amount of dirt that comes out!
- Wipe the sponge over your household appliances such as the oven and microwave to remove fingerprints.
- Clean the grates of your gas stove in the sink and put them back in place.
- As a final step, clean the kitchen floor, as well as all hard surfaces (floor, linoleum, etc.) in the house.
All floors of the house in 15 min
- When vacuuming, start at the back of the room and work backwards. This way, you can go faster and avoid ironing twice on the same surfaces.
By the way, if you are looking for a good vacuum cleaner, I have been using this vacuum cleaner for 3 years, and I can tell you that it is the best I have ever had. I highly recommend it if you have pets, because it is just perfect for removing hair!
- Do not sweep hard floors such as parquet. Instead, vacuum with the brush suitable for hard floors. This is the best way to clean the corners of rooms, where dust and pet hair tend to collect. It avoids raising dust in the air before it falls to the ground.
- One final recommendation, there are also steam cleaners that can actually help you clean your floors faster than with a traditional mop. Click here to discover the homemade solid wood parquet cleaner recipe.
