5 Ways to Clean Your Home Smarter
When it’s time to clean your home, following these smart cleaning hacks is going to be a lifesaver for you. No one wants to spend hours cleaning the house, but with these simple tips you will be able to clean your own house more efficiently.
Use A Multipurpose Cleaner
Instead of having 101 products that do different things, consider using one multipurpose cleaner that can easily clean a variety of areas in your home. A good multipurpose cleaner is formulated to be used on a variety of surfaces in the home, enabling you to have one product for a range of uses. Having one product to do many jobs is efficient at its best.
Regularity Means Less Effort
The rule of thumb for smarter cleaning is regularity means less effort. The more often you give your home a clean, the less time it will take because there won’t be as much mess to tackle. If you leave the rooms in your house for a long period of time, dirt, grime and dust will accumulate, giving you a lot more mess to clean up. If you sweep, wipe, and clean the most important areas in your home (like high-germ, high-traffic areas) daily or at least weekly, then you’ll have less to do each time.
Have A No Shoes Inside Policy
It’s common practice in some Asian and European homes to not wear shoes inside. Whilst this might be very Zen, it’s also very clever because it lessens the amount of dirt, mud and grime that can get dragged through the home. Get into the habit of leaving your shoes at the front door, and either wearing no shoes inside or a comfy pair of slippers as your indoor shoes. You can create a beautiful shoe stand at your front door, where footwear can be left each time.
Vacuum Weekly
Vacuuming is hard work we know, but it’s also really effective in picking up the deep, ingrained dust and dirt from floors, most especially carpets and rugs. They may look clean, but on a micro level they carry a lot of dust, debris, and hair that can build up to create a particular dirty home. Plus, these elements can contribute to a higher allergen count in your home. A smart way of cleaning is to vacuum at least once a week or invest in a robot vacuum to get the job done for you!
Use Bleach in High-Germ Areas
Bleach is absolutely going to be your best friend in the fight against germs in areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. If you bleach these areas weekly, you will keep the growth of bacteria and germs to a minimum and you’ll avoid things like yellowing of toilets, baths and basins and mould build up in showers and on tiles too.
