3 Practical Steps to Make House Cleaning Simpler

As the Holiday season is upon us, you might be feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do lists, and we can only imagine that cleaning is the last thing you want to do right now.

So, we’re going to be sharing our top three practical steps to make your house cleaning chores quicker and simpler for you!

1. Clear the Clutter

You might be thinking that this is an obvious tip because you’re already cleaning but hear us out.

Often, when life gets busy, we can clean around the everyday life clutter, but it’s important to start picking up before you start cleaning.

Maybe you have clothes that didn’t quite make it into the hamper, or dishes on the coffee table from movie night – whatever it might be, we’ve all had clutter around our house.

Before you start cleaning, we recommend you pick up the items on the floors and counters so that these areas can effectively get cleaned.

2. Sinks, Tubs, And Toilets

We understand that cleaning the whole house can get overwhelming, but there is a quick and simple solution: spray your sinks, tubs, and toilets all at once.

What we mean by this is when you spray the cleaner in your sinks (both kitchen and baths), your tubs, and toilets, then you can work on one while the cleaner has time to dissolve dirt and grime on the others without you having to wait.

This will save you time that would’ve just been spent standing around.

3. Dust from Top To Bottom

This might seem like another obvious tip, but it’s often forgotten about: dusting from top to bottom.

Start with your ceiling fans (obviously when they’re off), work your way to the cabinets, and down until you reach the floor.

Afterward, this allows you to move into sweeping and mopping your floor without worrying about dust and other debris falling onto it.

4. Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget to Wash Your Cleaning Tools

Cleaning the tools that you specifically use to clean might seem a little weird, but it’s a necessity. According to Clean My Space: “Cleaning tools can harbour dirt, bacteria, debris, and odours if they are not cared for properly.”

By keeping your tools clean, it can help to keep your areas clean, free of bacteria, all while creating less work for you in the long run.
