Step1
Enlist helpers if you can. Get your kids, partner or roommate to clean a room with you and you can cut your time in half. For example, have your kids pick up toys while you're getting the supplies ready.
Step2
Turn off any distractions so you can stay focused when trying to clean a room in 10 minutes. Turn off the TV and the ringer on the phone. You may want to turn on some music with a fast pace to get you moving and get your cleaning rhythm going.
Step3
Remind yourself that you want to clean this room in 10 minutes. This is a quick cleaning so save your really thorough work for when you have more time. If it's not dirty, don't clean it.
Step4
Make supplies easily accessible. Keep all of your cleaning supplies in one area of the house, wear a cleaning apron and keep needed items in your pockets. Carry a portable caddy of cleaning supplies.
Step5
Use a clean vacuum bag so it will have more pick-up power to clean the room faster in those 10 minutes.
