We've compiled some useful cleaning tips you can use anytime to stay on top of your cleaning.
Try to limit distractions when cleaning. Don't turn on the TV, and don't answer the phone. But of course, you can clean to music. In fact, crank it up and watch the time fly!
Is your house feeling a bit stale? If it's not too cold, throw open the windows for a few minutes to air things out, then freshen up your upholstered areas with Febreze.
Start at a specific point in a specific room and clean clockwise around the room. It cuts down on cleaning time, and you're less likely to miss something.
Enlist the help of your family members! In addition, make sure they pick up after themselves on a daily basis.
After you take out the garbage, reline the can using 10 or so garbage bags rather than just one. It will eliminate the need to reline the can every time you take out the garbage.
Quickly and easily clean scuff marks off your walls with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. But don't stop there! Use it in your bathroom on your sink, in your kitchen on the refrigerator—anywhere you need a quick clean.
Take stock of all your cleaning supplies a few times a month to keep essentials on hand. Then you can start any cleaning project whenever the mood strikes you—no excuses.
Start dusting top to bottom with your Swiffer Dusters and then vacuum or use Swiffer. No sense cleaning the floor, only to dust and possibly knock dust particles onto the ground, setting up the need to clean again.
Do a load of laundry once or twice during the week, instead of letting it pile up—leaving you with an enormous amount on the weekend.
