We all want to live in a beautiful home, but not all of us put enough effort into making our wishes come true. It seems that no matter how much time we spend cleaning our homes, we are still surrounded by clutter. Whether you spend 2 hours or 15 minutes cleaning your home, the result is pretty much the same, but you can get the job done faster and more efficiently with a specific plan.


And remember that cleaning your home should be a pleasure, not a chore!


Here are some tips to help you get your home in order not only quickly, but also with quality. Of course, having the right tools will help you get the job done much faster, as all the tips are suitable for regular tidying. But if you need to prepare your home from scratch, it is better to hire a cleaner.


Don't waste time


While some people deal with music, dancing and trying on clothes, others do things quickly and systematically. Of course, if you don't want to take up your whole day cleaning your house, then try not to get distracted and keep your mind off extraneous activities.


The right tools and instruments


If you want to clean a room quickly, you need special tools to speed up the cleaning process. Hand over ineffective tools to your enemy, wear clothes that you are not afraid to get dirty and brave the dust. There is an extremely wide range of products available in the supermarket today. The more time you spend searching, the more suitable products you will find. The key is to have a wide range of products and a tool for different cleaning needs.


From top to bottom


Cleaners know that cleaning should be done from top to bottom. This is the only way to remove all the dust and, most importantly, to avoid having to clean the same areas several times. It's very interesting when you first clean the floor and then decide that you need to remove the cobwebs in the corners of the walls. In this case, you have to clean the floor again. So remember this rule.


Dry first, wet second


It seems that everyone should know, but I wonder if everyone does, that dust and dirt should be wiped off with a dry cloth first and then wet. Sweep the floor first, then clean it. It all seems very basic and clear. The work will be done quickly and effortlessly.


Try to outdo yourself


If you try to do the job faster each time, you will end up outdoing yourself. So, tidying up can be like a sport.


Teamwork is a great way to get things done faster


Finally, if you want to get things done much faster, we recommend forming a team at home. No woman is a housekeeper, and getting things done with the whole family will not only be quicker, but also more enjoyable. It may sound strange, but it can be an activity that brings everyone in the family together. You will always feel comfortable around your family and you will be successful in your work.


Each room requires a certain amount of attention. If you want to tidy up your house quickly, make an effort. If the house has been cleaned very thoroughly in the past, all you need to do now is a minimal amount of dusting and other dirt.


Kitchen

Disinfect food shelves. Remove all food before doing so.

Scrub the sink.

Clean the windowsills.

Clean all appliances.


Bedroom

Change the bed linen.

Organise both wardrobes and closets.

Dust the items in the room.

Finally, clean the floor.


Living room

Dust the sections and shelves. Remove all items beforehand.

Clean windowsills and radiators.

With a vacuum cleaner or other cleaning tools, try to vacuum or wipe down upholstered furniture. Shake out bedspreads.


Bathroom, toilet and hallway

You can clean everything easily if you buy special products.

The most important thing is to wipe all glass surfaces very well. Removing lime stains will make the whole room look much nicer.

The toilet must be disinfected with particular care.

Clean corridors with special wood or tile cleaners.


Quick home improvement plan


Getting your house in order quickly and correctly is easy if you know how to do it. Here's a very minimal plan to help you understand the process that will help you effectively remove surface dust in your home. One cleaning plan per room. Tidy up as you go through the rooms so that you don't have to go back to them.


TIDY UP (5 min): magazines, dusting, cobwebs, pets and children's toys, shaking pillows and other jobs that don't require cleaners or tools.


WASH (15 min): wash floors, walls, objects (bath, toilet, mirrors, etc.). We use special cleaners and wear gloves to avoid damaging our skin.


WE CLEAN DUST: from shelves, cupboards and other furniture on which unpleasant dust tends to accumulate particularly actively. It is important to clean them particularly often, as they can even cause allergies.


THROW THINGS AWAY AND PUT THEM AWAY. Every item has its place, so make sure you organise things in a way that makes your home look tidy. Also, put the rubbish that you think you no longer need and should go in the bin in one bag.



RECEPTION. If you are expecting guests soon, make sure you have enough towels, toilet paper, etc.


Effective housekeeping depends on concentration, having a plan and having the tools. Everyone can live a clean life, no matter how many people are in the house, and no matter how many people are in the room. The most important thing to remember is that the more often you clean your home, the easier your weekend tidying will be. This way you won't have to spend a lot of time on it, especially as it's always easy to wipe off superficial stains.


Stay safe, stay clean
