Cleaning Tips to Change Your Life

Example of 15 Minute Tasks

Many tasks can be completed well enough in 15 minutes. However, the trick is to do less work daily by doing it more often.

For example, what happens to your boy’s bathroom when you neglect it for too long? As a result, the stink, the misses, and the mess all create a disaster zone.

On the other hand, if you clean a little each day, the job becomes more manageable.

Wiping the toilet down daily means it stays pretty clean and never admittedly becomes the job we all dread.

Admittedly, the same is true for your shower in the bathroom. A good squeegee like the one I linked to above will keep your shower clean and shiny.

This method works for me because I would rather clean less and enjoy life more. Using 15 minutes at a time to clean helps make it a reality.

Daily Goals

Set daily goals to help you stay focused.

For instance, assign rooms to certain days of the week. Such as Monday is for cleaning the living room and Tuesday is for cleaning in the kitchen.

So do what works for you.

By the same token, be willing to change things up if needed. Stick with the 15-minute increments for the simple reason you will be on your way to a clean and tidy house.

In Conclusion

Above all, my savvy tip is to have the cleaning supplies you need in each bathroom. Keep a toilet brush in every bathroom as well as any cleaning supplies or rags required. If you have to go back and forth, you will waste your 15 minutes.

That’s all there is to it!

Don’t stress over getting everything done at once. Use 15 minutes at a time and you will be able to keep a clean home.
