Clean your home effectively: Clean faster with a plan & system

Clean your home effectively: Clean faster with a plan & system

Anyone who has to clean their home regularly knows the dilemma: everyday life is busy, time is short - but dust, crumbs and limescale unfortunately don't hold back. The good news is that a clear system makes cleaning easier, quicker and much more effective. And if you really want to save time, you can rely on professional support from a domestic help

1. preparation is half the battle

Before you reach for the cloth: tidy up surfaces, have all cleaning products ready and open the windows. Fresh air not only helps against bad odors, but also makes mopping more pleasant. An organized start saves time and ensures a better result.

🧽 Extra tip: If you hire domestic help, you should also prepare briefly here too - the better the overview, the more efficiently you can work.

2nd order in the sequence: start at the top, finish at the bottom

To prevent dirt from simply ending up somewhere else, the following applies when cleaning your home: Always clean from top to bottom.

So:

• Dust first - on shelves, window sills, picture frames
• Then vacuum - especially in the living room, under the sofa or between upholstery
• Finally, damp wipe - first the edges of the room, then backwards in a figure-eight motion
• Finally, wipe the floors dry

This method allows you to work systematically and avoid duplication.

🧽 Extra tip: Please do not wipe the surfaces and floors back and forth, but in one direction. Otherwise the dirt will only be spread.

3. room by room - how to keep an overview

Divide the household cleaning into rooms and focus on one area at a time. This is more motivating - and you will see progress more quickly.

‍

Bathroom - hygiene first and foremost

• Use different cloths for the toilet and surfaces such as the washbasin (tip: a color system helps)
  
• Gently polish fittings with microfiber. The yellow-green sponges, on the other hand, ruin the fittings in the long term because they scratch them
  
• Always peel off shower walls immediately after showering and dry with a towel to avoid limescale and mold
• Wipe the floor well wet, otherwise the dirt will settle in the joints (rule of thumb: a match should just float on the surface of the water)
• Do not save water when cleaning the sanitary area to prevent the transportation of germs
• Clean the toilet with an all-purpose or sanitary cleaner. Vinegar cleaner helps against limescale. Incidentally, foul odors collect under the rim of the toilet bowl where the water comes out. Go under there with the toilet brush (possibly with an additional brush) and cleaner. Be careful, it could splash
• Nevertheless, when it comes to cleaning products: more is not more - in the end you just need more water to rinse away

‍

Cleaning the living room - for a more comfortable atmosphere

• Dust off decorations and surfaces
• Clean the TV and technology with a dry microfiber cloth
• Vacuum the sofa, air the ceilings
• Clean the floor thoroughly

‍

Kitchen - the basis for cleanliness

• Wipe worktops with all-purpose cleaner after each use and dry the fittings, e.g. with a tea towel
  
• The best way to remove limescale stains is with vinegar water - it's very simple: mix household vinegar with water in a ratio of 5:1 or 10:1
  
• Raise the chairs and then wipe the floors and under the furniture
  
• Clean waste garbage cans regularly

‍

Bedroom - fresh air and clean mattresses

• Ventilate daily, opening the windows really wide
  
• You should vacuum your mattress every 4-6 weeks
  
• Change and wash bedding regularly, about every week to every two weeks at most
• Dust off bedside tables & lamps

‍

Windows - for a crystal-clear view

• Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to lukewarm water and soap the windows thoroughly with it
• Pull off from top to bottom with the rubber puller
• Wipe the bottom edge of the window with a leather cloth
• By the way: glass cleaner is only suitable for localized stains such as fingerprints

4. clean home without stress: with small routines

If you don't fancy spending hours scrubbing, it's better to invest 5-10 minutes a day. This will keep things permanently clean:

• Mini check in the evening: wipe down the kitchen, clear surfaces
  
• Rotate weekly: Wipe out the fridge, wipe down the bathroom tiles
  
• Clean thoroughly every month: Windows, lampshades, radiators
  

This keeps your home looking neat and tidy - without the need for a big clean.
