Clean Your House Fast

Cleaning your whole house in a few hours may seem easier said than done, but with my tips your house will be sparkling clean in no time.

The first step is to take all of the laundry down to the laundry room and put in a load. Come back when that's finished and put another one in, and that one in the dryer until they are all done.

In the meantime, you are going to do everything else. Start with putting all your dishes into the sink and soaking them. The second thing is to make the beds. Remember when cleaning to start from the top down. When you go into a room, throw all of the random clutter into a pile and dust all the shelves and furniture. Then put back all of the clutter items in the places where they truly belong. All that's left for these rooms is vacuuming.

For the kitchen, do the dishes first. Then quickly clean down the counters, cabinets, and any other surfaces with a cloth. Sweep and mop.

It's the same idea for the bathroom. Clean the counters, sink, mirrors, toilet, and bathtub first, and then move on to sweeping and mopping.

Sometimes you will encounter problem areas such as stains that won't come out or some really caked on soap scum. A multi-purpose spray cleaner will clean almost any surface, but some other supplies you might want are steel wool pads (the ones that don't rust), an abrasive cleaner (such as Comet), bleach, or good old-fashioned vinegar. Another rule is to soak an area with water and detergent or your favorite cleaner until the caked up area is loosened.

In only a few hours, your whole house can be sparkling if you remember these rules.
