10 helpful tips on how to clean up quickly

Organization of space

The basis of cleanliness in a home is convenient storage. If cleaning is exhausting and suspiciously time-consuming, get rid of unnecessary items and redistribute the necessary ones. You should free up as much space as possible in closets and closets - unnecessary trash on the shelves literally steals time from their owners! Occupying precious corners, he does not allow useful things to "comfortably" settle in the closets. The freed up space can be used for outerwear that clutters the hallway, a vacuum cleaner in plain sight, an ironing board or a dryer - in general, everything that overloads and spoils the interior.

Small items inventory

If you still spend a lot of time cleaning, it is worth learning from connoisseurs of minimalism style, the main feature of which is the almost complete absence of decor. The abundance of carpets, figurines, photo frames and vases complicates putting things in order.

If a separate dressing table with drawers is not provided for storing cosmetics and a hair dryer, you can purchase a beautiful basket or box and hide the care products in a closed cabinet. The surface, which was previously littered with tubes, combs and wires, will be freed.

Procedure

Cleaning should always start from the top points and end with washing the floors. Tidying up will be more effective if you first wipe the dust, then sweep or vacuum the floors, and then do a damp mop. You should also start with the rooms and end with the bathroom and hallway.

In the kitchen, first of all, it is necessary to wipe the ventilation grilles, then the lamps, switches and upper facades. Then - clean the apron and countertop. A dirty stove should be filled with a special agent in advance. By the end of cleaning, getting rid of the stains will not be difficult.

All cleaning products in one place

For storing detergents, a specific shelf or area under the kitchen sink should be allocated. You can also place a bucket, dry rags and a scoop there: it is convenient when cleaning products do not need to be collected throughout the apartment. Of course, in a family with small children, chemical compounds should be in a hard-to-reach place.

Life hacks for the bathroom

Streaks on the walls of the shower stall can be avoided by wiping the surface with a dry cloth immediately after hygiene procedures. If the spray dries up, it will be more difficult to get rid of it. Also pay attention to the corners and joints: it is there that mold accumulates, which spoils the view and requires additional effort and time during cleaning.

When putting things in order, it is worth pre-treating the toilet bowl, sink, bathroom, shower, bidet with detergents so that the dirt has time to be properly etched out.

Dishwashing

It is useful to make this tip a habit: wash the dishes immediately after using them. When this is not possible, it is worth distributing the dishes by size: put a large saucepan down, on it - deep plates, then small ones, and in them - cutlery.The resulting pyramid should be filled with water, then the remnants of food will not dry out and the dishes will be washed out faster.

Before a long feast, we recommend that you fill up the sink with water and lower the plates there as it gets dirty. It will be easier to wash them after dinner.

Storage of bed linen

In order not to waste a lot of time ironing, we recommend washing sheets and duvet covers without spinning. After washing, you just need to hang the laundry without creating wrinkles. After drying, it should be sorted - put each set in its own pillowcase. The shelves in the closet will become neater, and the laundry will not have to look for: it will be stored in its "bags".

Cleaning under the bed

If there are boxes, books or seasonal items under the bed, mopping the floor becomes a real problem. Insidious dust, which accumulates in huge quantities under the bed, can cause allergic reactions. It is optimal to do cleaning in a hard-to-reach place once a month. To put things out easier, you should buy drawers on wheels: then you don't have to move heavy boxes and scratch the floor.

Dirt from the street

The apartment, in which the corridor is used as a hallway, becomes the main source of sand and dust - dirt scatters on the floor, settles on the soles of slippers, is carried into rooms, and ruins carpets. To avoid cleaning the apartment too often, it is necessary to keep the street dirt under control. Good quality doormats or shoe trays will help keep the sand out. Before the arrival of numerous guests, it is worth laying a wet rag.

If you often sweep in the corridor, then you will have to vacuum and wash the floors in the entire apartment less often.

A few more tips

Cleaning is a rather boring task, but you can't stretch it out in an attempt to entertain yourself with social networking, a snack or watching a video. Set aside 15-20 minutes for each zone, start a timer and try to keep within this time. Involve all your family members in the tidying up - and you will be able to free yourself much earlier. Before cleaning, we recommend eating light food - the mood and energy from this will increase and there will be no need to be distracted.

The listed recommendations will help you save energy and devote more time to yourself, your loved ones and your favorite hobby.
