10 quick cleaning tips

1. Make a house cleaning schedule.


The guide here will show you an example of one.



2. Survey each room in your home.


Look for the trouble spots and decide on how you're going to get them cleaned up. Here

you can decide what tools you'll need, what can be thrown away or better yet, who you can

assign the task to.



3. Get help.


Rome was not built in a day and I'm certain it wasn't built by one Roman. If there are others

living and breathing in the house with you, get them to help.



4. Gather your cleaning supplies.


A big time waster and distraction when cleaning is having to run up and down getting a

broom or cleaners or whatever you need to complete the task that you're doing. So before

you get started make sure you have what you need.



5. Use natural cleaning products.


House Cleaning is not just about cleanliness, its also about safety in the home. Using natural

cleaning products can protect you and your family from the harmful elements of systhetic

cleaning products.



6. Get clutter free.


Hey, I'm sure you've got those stacks of old magazines somewhere in the house. They're

gathering dust because there is one article about child rearing that you need to read or a

recipe that you have to clip. Or is your linen closet a mess because you refuse to throw out

old sheets and cases. Here are some clutter free articles to help you get clutter free.



7. Get rid of distractions.


For example, when you are about to embark on a house cleaning task, do yourself a favor and

turn down the ringer on your phones. Phone conversation can cause you to forget the task at

hand.



8. Get some housecleaning music.


Don't choose those slow love songs. Get some lively music, stuff that gets you in the cleaning

mood (if such a mood exists).



9. Make a house cleaning maintenance plan.


After all that hard work, you need a maintenance plan to keep each room of the house clean

for as long as possible.



10. Hire a house cleaning service.


At least twice a year treat yourself. Hire a cleaning service to do a good deep cleaning.
