Imagin if I were to supply you with an easy routine which would help it become really easy to clean rooms for which you will hardly have to spend any real time cleaning the kitchen or bathroom?
Well! Give these ideas a go...
After dinner, scrape off and rinse all the dishes then put them into hot soapy water or into your dishwasher. Empty all of the pans and put hot soapy water in to the bottom of them (unless your dishwasher happens to do a good job on pans). When you're making use of the dishwasher - turn it on.
Now go and do something like taking a walk, read a book or Magazine, perform some exercises. Whenever you come back, the dishes will wash a lot more simply. Before you drain out the water, wipe down the counters, stove and range-hood using the identical water. This only takes 2 minutes.
Rotate wiping down the microwave, fridge, cabinets, and rubbish bin, just do a different one each week. Use Oil Soap, or something similar on wood cabinets. Don't worry about scrubbing, just a simple wipe down is nice enough. If you perform these basic tasks as a daily regime, you won't need to scrub hard to clean off any build up - it will just be an easy wipe up.
OK, now the bathroom. Keep a squeegee inside the shower. Squeegee the walls each time you have finished showering. Also remember, whenever you're finished showering, take a shower wipe, or a paper towel and glass cleaner (keep them handy in the bathroom) and wipe down the sink and toilet. Just a quick wipe down. Dispose of the wipe and go to bed!
Once weekly - wipe down the walls and bath making use of a bath cleaner, clean the toilet and clean the floor. Shine things up with some glass cleaner to give it a professionally-cleaned look. It still shouldn't take you much more than 10 minutes.
Many people insist on making this a serious project. If you do that, you're missing the entire point of this article. Quick wipe ups - do not waste time - have a quick wipe up and get out!
The question of how to clean a mattress comes up fairly often, especially when youre expecting guests. Remember that a mattress is really a piece of upholstery - except that it catches and holds unpleasant creatures like dust mites, dead skin, and odors.
The very first step in cleaning your mattress is going to be to vacuum, and vacuum some more. Flip the mattress over and replicate the practice. Do your pillows while youre at it.
If ever the mattress truly needs cleaning, use an upholstery cleaner, and be careful not to soak it. A foam cleaner, or a dry cleaner would be the better choice, you dont want mold growing on top of it, which you will get if you saturate it.
To eliminate odors and allergens, spray it down with an anti-allergy formula. You can do this every time you change the sheets.
Make sure youre changing your sheets and washing them in hot water once a week. Wash or clean your blankets or comforters as needed. Its nice to have washable ones so you can do them once a month. If you have "dry clean only" bedding, I would suggest removing it at night when youre going to sleep. But I guess thats a personal choice. Im all about avoiding housework as much as possible! If you have stains that you want to get rid of, Pet stain remover works great. Honest!
