How to Clean Your House FAST

You will learn how to keep your house clean without spending a whole day every week cleaning it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• All purpose cleaning product
• microfiber cleaning cloths
• mop with removable microfiber pads
• toilet brush(es)
• 20 minutes

1. In each bathroom cupboard place a few microfiber cloths, bottle of all purpose cleaning product, and a toilet brush. Place a small sponge in the shower. Also, place a few microfiber cleaning cloths and all purpose cleaner under your kitchen sink.

2. During one of your bathroom visits, pull out your microfiber cloth and cleaning product. Start with the mirror (while cloth is clean) and spray and wipe mirror. Next, spray and wipe sink and counter tops, don't forget to shine up the fixtures. (microfiber cloths are great for shining things up). Then, pour some cleaner in the toilet and swish with brush. Spray and wipe seat and lid. Total time: 5 minutes!
   If you have more than 1 bathroom, repeat step 2.

3. While taking a shower, use the sponge you placed in the shower earlier, add a little soap and scrub the shower walls. Rinse with shower head, especially easy if you have a shower massage fixture. You can also scrub the tub at the same time. Voila! Less than 5 minutes AND you don't get your clothes wet!

4. While brewing a cup of tea, load or unload your dishwasher, spray and wipe your kitchen counters, appliances, and sink. 5 minutes! Sit and enjoy your tea!

5. Cleaning floors is easier when you run your vacuum first. Take a few moments to vacuum. Save a dishwashing detergent squirt bottle to use to mix your floor cleaning product with water. Keep it with your mop. Then you can just squirt some directly on the floor and mop with your microfiber mop head. You won't have to get out the bucket for mopping ever again! 5 minutes!

Tips & Warnings

• Keep cleaning items you need for each room IN that room.
• Microfiber cleaning cloths and mop heads clean better than ordinary cloths and mops, and are more sanitary because they can be thrown in the washing machine.
• SAVE YOUR USED DISHSOAP SQUIRT BOTTLES. THEY ARE VERY HANDY!
• If you decide to use spray bottles and mix your own all purpose cleaner, be sure to label the bottles.
