The 4 best cleaning tips ever

The 4 best cleaning tips ever

There are many different ways to clean. We listed the four most important cleaning lessons below. Which of these ways you decide to use, depends from person to person. A combination of these 4 tips will offer you the cleanest result!

  1. CLEAN AS YOU GO

The ‘clean as you go’ method is the best way to keep your house clean with minimal effort. In this case, you try to clean or tidy everything after you’re done. Make it a habit to put your stuff in the right places. This will allow for less stress and more free time in the future and also prevents the clutter from piling up.

Here are some examples:

  • Is your toothpaste tube empty? Don’t leave it on the wash basin but throw it away immediately.
  • Dirty clothes go in the laundry basket instead of on the ground.
  • Don’t postpone doing the dishes and put everything in the cupboards right away.
  • Throw your wrapper in the bin right away.
  • …

  1. THE RIGHT ORDER

The second most important rule is to create your own order. Map out an ingenious cleaning route through your house. That’s much more effective than just starting to clean randomly. Because you get used to it, it will all go a lot more efficient with time. One person can prefer starting in the bathroom, while the other would want to start in the bedroom.

It’s especially important to clean upstairs before you clean downstairs - so start in the attic and work your way down. That way, you won’t forget anything and you won’t get confused. After all, you don’t want the dust of the table on your freshly cleaned floor, do you? Also, always make sure to start with cleaning dry before getting your bucket of water out.

  1. SPEED CLEANING

Cleaning doesn’t have to take long. By speed cleaning, you can get a lot done in a short amount of time. Something that is still clean doesn’t need to be cleaned again, that’s how you gain time! Clean what you have to clean, nothing more and nothing less. Here you can find some timesaving tips to clean your house in 60 minutes:

  • Put on some loud music during cleaning. It will give you a boost!
  • Make a cleaning schedule
  • Put a timer or cooking alarm per room and don’t exceed this time. Clean every room quickly:
    • Bathroom (15 minutes)
    • Bedroom (15 minutes)
    • Kitchen (15 minutes)
    • Living room (10 minutes)
    • Toilet (5 minuten)
  • Take all your cleaning materials at once. That way, you won’t lose time by having to go back all the time.
  • First begin with the most annoying cleaning tasks. So, when they’re done, you can do the more pleasant tasks.
  • Multi-task! Let Feem do its job, while you do something else.
  • It was already mentioned, but work from upstairs to downstairs and from dry to wet!

Clean a lot in a short amount of time

It’s a real challenge, but 60 minutes obviously isn’t enough time to get everything clean and tidy. It is very handy to get everything in general in order, though. With some practice, you will be able to speed clean your way through your house in an hour. And what’s more important, you’ll notice that you have a lot more free time by doing this.

  1. DO NOT POSTPONE

And last but not least avoid postponing! Even if you’d rather do other things than cleaning, putting everything off will just result in more work in and around your house, so it will never be clean and tidy. Just start somewhere. All small bits help and doing something is better than doing nothing!
