So, are you ready? Learn some simple tips and hacks that will help you clean thoroughly and efficiently, starting now.

1. Have a System And Clean The Whole House At One Go

The first and foremost hack you have to keep in mind is to clean the house in the same order every time and be consistent. Trust us, this will cut your cleaning time in half. When you do things in the same order, they become a routine for you, and remember, speed comes from the method instead of from hurrying.

With this, you need to know that cleaning is much more efficient if you pick one task (whether it is dusting, sweeping, or mopping) and do the same task in every room, rather than cleaning the kitchen first, the bathrooms and then, the bedrooms.

Doing it this way can prevent you from feeling like you’re in an endless cleaning cycle, which would not take up more of your energy.

2. Walk Around Your Home And Clear The Clutter

This is actually the most effective hack. Before you even start cleaning your house, go room to room and pick up the clutter.

You can also grab a garbage bag when you start walking around. With this way, if there is any trash lying around your house, you can grab it, put it in the bag, and get rid of a lot of stuff that you don’t need. You can also apply this method for cleaning all the surfaces.

Doing this declutter will certainly make cleaning so much faster and you can save your valuable time.

3. Keep Your Cleaning Tools On The Go

Committing to an efficient cleaning strategy also means creating a special station for all of your cleaning supplies and products.

Whether it’s a bucket or a tote, having everything you need to clean in one portable place makes it much easier to get the job done. Also, you won't waste time walking back and forth to the cabinet under the sink.

You may associate feather dusters from another era but they can prove to be quite useful. They work great for cleaning blinds, pictures, nooks, and other areas. They can also get into tight places far easier than you can with a cloth. However, for heavy buildup, you'll need to vacuum or use a cloth.

5. Start At The Top Of The Room

Before you start dusting a room, make sure the fans are turned off. We know that it is easy to look at dirty carpets or floors and want to give them a vacuum right away. But you have to resist this temptation.

You should start at the top of the room, such as dusting a ceiling fan, and work your way down to the floor. If you don’t comply to with method, then you’ll most probably end up with a dustier, dirtier floor or surfaces than you started with.

Similarly, you can apply this hack and start cleaning from left to right. This will ensure that you cover the entire room instead of darting from place to place.

6. First Sweep, Then Mop

In Indian households, our elders always used to tell us to first sweep and then mop the house. Always start sweeping the kitchen and bathroom floors which are actually the hardest to deal with.

Then, you can start mopping the floor from the farthest corner of the room and move backwards towards the doorway. This will ensure that you don’t mark your footprints while mopping. And an added benefit is that it will take much lesser time as you already know the direction in which you are working.

This is actually the most basic hack but people always tend to forget this or skip this part. If you use a dirty cloth for dusting or a dirty mop or a vacuum with a full bag, you’ll end up spending more time trying to clean.

Also, using clean tools has health and wellness benefits attached to it. As the clean tools will keep allergens, germs, and other pollutants at bay!
