Play it smart and start with one room and work your way around the house until everything is completed with these top 10 cleaning tips everyone should know. Sure it may take a few days but at least your home will be spotless after those few days and you can sit back and relax.
#1. Pet Hair
One thing that is probably driving you crazy in your home is pet hair. You can get rid of pet hair by using duck tape, or even using a wet rubber glove. Unfortunately, this is probably something you’ll need to do on a daily basis to get rid of pet hair.
#2. Limit Distractions
How many of you can’t get any cleaning done because you’re distracted? Try cleaning to the tune of one song at a time. For example: you will clean the kitchen for one song at a time, so you can stay focused.
#3. Get Creative with Storage
Not everything has to be in a perfect and beautiful spot. Get a little creative with your storage. Use a shoe organizer on the back of the pantry door if that helps give you more space. Creativity is where it’s at when it comes to storing items.
#4. Scrub the Floor
Your mop isn’t getting the floor as clean as it should. Take some old socks, put them on your feet and hands and go to town on cleaning. Scrubbing the floor can be fun and you can even involve the whole family when you do it this way. Scrubbing the floor by hand helps get it cleaner than ever.
#5. Do Things Quickly
Not everything in life allows for you to do things quickly. However, cleaning is one of those things that does not need to take hours to do. Don’t draw out the chore, just do it as fast as you can. Set a timer and challenge yourself if you have to.
#6. Clean as You Go
One major mistake people make when it comes to cleaning is to wait to clean everything at once. Instead of cleaning all at once, clean as you go. Take five minutes of your day in each room and watch how much of a difference this makes. When you wait to clean everything at once, things pile up, and it can get really messy!
#7. Clean the Outside of the Windows
When was the last time you cleaned those outside windows? It could be why you can’t get the streaks out of the inside of your windows. Make sure you take a couple of hours each month to clean the outside windows as well as the inside.
#8. Don’t Stress
The more you stress about cleaning, the harder is can be. Relax and you will get everything cleaned that needs cleaned. There’s no sense in stressing yourself out about it more, so you end up getting nothing done in the end.
#9. Use the Right Cleaning Supplies
Cleaning is hard when you don’t have the right cleaning supplies. Make sure you shop for the cleaning supplies you want and need to make your cleaning life a lot easier.
#10. Schedule Cleaning Time
If you’re anything like most normal people, you need to schedule an event to make it happen. If you have been putting off cleaning, then it’s time to schedule “cleaning” on your paper and electronic calendar.
Hopefully these cleaning tips help you get things under control in your home. What cleaning tips would you add to this list?
