Tips for those who have no time to spend on cleaning.
Trash can
Put a few paper towels or newspaper in the bottom of the bucket to keep drips and dirt from collecting at the bottom under the trash bag.
Bathroom sink
Use liquid handwash instead of soap. You do not have to constantly wipe the surface of the sink from soap streaks and rinse the soap dish. Dirt in the sink and streaks will be much less.
Microwave oven
Place paper towels on a dish in the oven. You can have several layers at once. After using the microwave, just throw away the top tissue. You can also cover food in the microwave with paper towels to keep splashes from getting on the inside walls.
Bathroom tiles
Turn on the fan in the bathroom for 5-10 minutes before and after taking a shower. This will protect the bathroom walls from mold.
Toilet
To prevent heavy lime build-up on the walls of the toilet, pour 1 cup of vinegar once a month and leave it overnight.
General rules
- To keep your home looking tidy, it's important to prioritize and keep in order the places you pay attention to most: Keep floors clean. Clean your mirrors regularly. They should not be cloudy and stained. Do not accumulate mountains of dirty dishes. This immediately creates a sense of confusion. Try to clean up immediately after cooking. It is better to wash a couple of dishes at once than to save dishes in the sink.
- Consider buying an upright cordless vacuum cleaner, it will save you a lot of cleaning time, helping you keep organized. Focus only on the main places where there are most people: the kitchen, the living room, the hallway, the bathroom. When vacuuming an entire room, start at the corner farthest from the door and move towards the exit so you don't have to clean up the footprints again.
- If you have no time to clean, do not buy dark furniture and do not choose a dark floor covering (laminate or parquet). On a dark one, any dust particles and crumbs will be noticeable.
- When wiping surfaces, it is better to remove all items at once (put on a tray or dump in a basket) than rearrange all items individually.
