9 Quick Cleaning Tips

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

Many of us prefer sprint cleaning to all day cleaning marathons (groan).  Here are some quick cleaning tips to get your place clean in no time at all:

 

1.  Use Lint Rollers to Clean Lampshades Fast!

2.  Dust with your vacuum cleaner using the upholstery attachment.

3.  Mix little jobs like sink cleaning, with big jobs, like furniture vacuuming, so that no task feels too overwhelming.

4.  Wash sheets with baby detergent.  It softens them up!

5.  Stash paper towels (or better yet microfibers) all over the house so you don't have to stop and make an extra trip to that pantry.

6.  Stash all purpose cleaners, dust rags, sponges in various rooms and closets to save time.

7.  Skip specialty cleaners and go for an all purpose ones that work just fine on everything.

8.  A blast of air freshener shines up a mirror fast!

9.  Use baby shampoo to spot clean rugs and mini blinds and wash make up brushes.

Good Morning Kristin,  Great tips as always.  Just check and the weather in Yellowstone next week is going to be in the 80's most days.  Do not want it to hot for the bears to come out, they sleep if it is to warm.

Kristin, I hope that following these tips doesn't give me a body like that.  I like the ideas about the paper towels and multi-purpose cleaner placements.  I'm tired of running up & down the steps.

Air freshner to clean the mirrors?  I have to try that one although I just purchased window cleaner.
