Tip 1: Organisation<\/b>
\nBeing prepared is key to tidying the house quickly with having a plan of attack will mean your not distracted and get the task done. You should:
\n– Plan (try to approach room by room)
\n– Multi-task
\n– Set a time-limit so you are constantly moving
\n– Have all your products out and ready
\n– Clear the clutter because it\u2019s hard to clean when the house is a mess<\/p>\n

Tip 2: Mopping<\/b>
\nMopping can bring it\u2019s own challenges, but there are there are some things you need to keep in mind before and during the cleaning process.<\/p>\n

Before you even fill the bucket with water make sure you sweep\/ vacuum the floors, not only is it pointless to mop it but it can also damage your floors. Also check that you\u2019ve got the right clean mop head. Here is a little helpful table:<\/p>\n

\"Types<\/p>\n

Remember to not use too much detergent (just a little squirt) as it will make the floors slippery, change the water frequently as it\u2019s pointless to mop the house with dirty water and don\u2019t forget mops can be used on walls and ceilings as well e.g. bathroom tiles.<\/p>\n

Tip 3: Dusting<\/b>
\nThis is often overlooked and even if you do get around to getting rid of that dust, there are spots you might miss so it\u2019s always good to have a bit of a check-list for each room. So don\u2019t forget to dust the:<\/p>\n

– Celling fans and light fixtures
\n– Corners and door frames
\n– Walls (could use that flat head mop)
\n– Vents
\n– Picture frames and delicate items but be careful and maybe use a smaller duster<\/p>\n

Tip 4: Kitchen<\/b>
\nThe kitchen is the heart of the home where yummy treats are baked and where stories are shared over a cuppa or dinner parties.<\/p>\n

So that it always looks fresh use brown vinegar on the oven glass then wipe it away after an hour. Rid dishwasher smells with a cup of white vinegar in an empty dishwasher and put on a normal wash or if it\u2019s your chopping boards cut a lemon and rub the surface with the fruit.<\/p>\n

Tip 5: Tools for the job<\/b>
\nMaking sure you have the right cleaning products means you\u2019ll get the job completed quicker with better results. Don\u2019t also forget to check supply levels before you start \u2013 no point in starting only to realize you\u2019re out of spray n\u2019 wipe by the time you reach the bathroom.<\/p>\n
