Break Down Tasks

Instead of just having one goal (that is, to clean your entire house), break down that goal into several small goals. You can divide your home into “zones” to divide your tasks. These zones include the bedrooms, the windows, the kitchen, the outdoor spaces, or the garage. Focus on finishing these zones before dealing with anything else.

It also helps to be organized when cleaning by figuring out what needs to be done in a certain zone and collecting all tools that these tasks require beforehand. This tip is especially useful during a spring cleaning session, making the activity a little less daunting every time.

Make Use of Large Containers

Before doing any cleaning, it’s best to deal with clutter first. Take out your large containers, such as laundry baskets or package boxes, and use them as storage for all your stuff. You can organize your things into “keep,” “discard,” or “give away.”

Clean before Use

Cleaning the bathroom will be a lot easier when it hasn’t been used yet. And wouldn’t you want to take a shower or bath in a squeaky-clean space? Don’t forget to check the sink, the shower stalls, the tub, and the toilets before any bath, and scrub away dirt and grime. Once you’re done with the task, you can hop in the shower to clean yourself from the icky stuff.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for a no-fuss toilet that won’t leave you the dirty work of plumbing and installation, low-flush toilets are a great replacement to your existing ones. Unlike traditional toilets, this type of toilet is a DIY project that you can finish in just a few hours. It’s also water-efficient, so you won’t have to worry about exorbitant water bills or using too much water for flushing.

Use Microfiber Cloths

Replace your cleaning cloths with microfiber cloths and you will be cleaning your home more efficiently. This fabric holds millions of fibers that allow it to lift and hold dirt, bacteria, grime, grease, and other liquids, which makes it so effective for cleaning surfaces, from windows to sinks to bathtubs.

Not only can microfiber cloths remove bacteria from surfaces, they are also safe for the environment as they can be cleaned with water and don’t require harmful chemicals. Imagine all the money and effort you can save!

Reward Yourself

Doing everything in one go can make you hate what you’re doing even more. When cleaning your house, don’t forget to take a break and give yourself a reward for every task you complete. This may be in the form of enjoying a quick cup of coffee or resuming to read that book that you’re currently hooked on. Just remember that these are just “quick” breaks and that you still have your other cleaning goals to accomplish.

Happy Cleaning!

With these surefire cleaning tips and hacks, you can make cleaning a worthwhile task as you get to learn how to do it easily and effectively. Once you start to apply these tricks to your routine, you will be surprised to find yourself in the most livable space there is.
