Cleaning your home shouldn't have to be a chore (even though it's literally a chore). If you're the type of person who struggles in the fight against clutter, here are some quick and easy cleaning tips that will send those dirt and germs packing!
-
Start with the dirtiest part of your kitchen, then work your way around the room in a circle so you do not spread grease and dirt.
-
Before you start cleaning, soak dirty drip pans, knobs, and oven racks in soapy water.
-
Sanitize your sink with a quick spritz of white vinegar followed by hydrogen peroxide.
-
Keep a non-stick oven liner on the bottom of your oven to catch those drips and spills. You will thank yourself later!
-
If you have a food disposal, toss a lemon wedge, some coarse salt, and a few ice cubes down the drain once a week to deodorize and clean the pipes.
-
Microfiber cloths are always a great idea; they clean better than paper towels, are cost efficient, and reusable.
-
Disinfect your sponge by squeezing out all water, then tossing it in the microwave for one minute every single night.
-
Clean your floor last to save yourself from having to clean it twice.
-
A teaspoon of lemon oil will do wonders on keeping hard water residue at bay from your glass shower door.
-
If your shower liner is getting grubby, throw it in the wash with some towels. They will help scrub it clean.
-
Choose the right broom! Inside floors benefit from finer bristles to pick up smaller dirt particles, and outside areas like stiffer bristles which are better for larger, porous surfaces.
-
Make your bed first thing in the morning. Remember to change your sheets every two weeks.
-
Time yourself to get done faster. If you set a timer out, you will be surprised at how fast you are able to clean your entire house.
-
Vacuum from side to side horizontally, starting in the corners.
-
keep a rack at the front door to collect clutter. Perfect for shoes, mail, jackets, and packages.
