Cleaning Tips

I so hate to clean and find I put it off longer than it actually takes me to clean. Here are a couple of my cleaning tips that help me get through the daily and weekly chores.

Buy a caddy and keep all of your cleaning products together. Just grab the caddy, and you are ready to clean. I spend more time searching for the cleansers than I do actually cleaning.

Set a timer and clean for 5-10 minutes. Then take a break. Some people work best to get all of their cleaning done at once. I can’t do that. It seems after 15 minutes of doing anything I begin to get antsy and have to switch gears.

Do dishes as you cook. While I’m waiting for water to boil or pasta to get done, I start doing dishes. This way as I get finished with them, I can do a few. I’m going to be in the kitchen anyway. Plus it means I have to do less after we eat.

Those are just a few tips I can think of right now. How do you get through the daily chores of cleaning?

    Maids are expensive. Plus not everyone can be trusted. Thanks for the tips. I hate cleaning too! Grr :mad: But I have no choice but to do it or else our house would look like a garbage dump site.

About Housewife

I'm a mostly stay at home mom who loathes cleaning, cooking, and anything that remotely might be described as housework. I love trying new products and sharing household tips that save time and energy. Sure, I could post a ton of tips that I've read or found on the Internet, but I prefer to use tips and hints that I actually use.
