Did you know that in less than 30 minutes a day you can clean your house? I’m not talking about a deep cleaning. I’m talking about a surface cleaning and then time spent focusing on one room or task.
Let me give you an example of how I do this. Let’s take Mondays. On Mondays I concentrate my effort into cleaning the kitchen. But I also make a sweep through our other main rooms to get them in order. It really does take me less than 30 minutes.
I start by sweeping the kitchen floor (1 minute) and then I wipe down all of the counters and appliances (2 minutes). I water the plants and then clean out the sink (3 minutes). I finish the kitchen up by mopping the floor (on my hands and knees, which takes about 5 minutes). Now I do have a smaller kitchen, which is why it only takes me 5 minutes.
Then I go through the other rooms, just maintaining them. I sweep the bathroom, living room and dining room floors. That takes 3 minutes. Then I wipe down the bathroom sink and toilet using Lysol wipes (2 minutes). I spray Febreze throughout the living and dining rooms (1 minute).
All of the main rooms of my house are now clean and in order. And I have actually accomplished this in 17 minutes.
On Tuesdays I clean our family room and my bedroom. On Wednesdays I do a deep cleaning of the bathroom. On Thursdays I dust the living and dining rooms. And on Friday I mop the hardwood floors. But then I also do my maintenance cleaning in the other rooms and it never takes me more than 30 minutes.
I always do this after the kids have left for school, so I get to enjoy a clean house for at least a few hours. But keep in mind that what helps make this possible is staying on schedule.
Can you clean your house in less than 30 minutes?
