Speed Cleaning Tips

Worthless! That's what my speed cleaning tips are for you unless you have a house cleaning plan that includes checklists and a house cleaning schedule. So get to work on those first...

Okay, now that you have you plan sorted out - let's get to work.

If you're like me, cleaning is never fun, but learning some speed cleaning tips that make jobs faster and easier certainly helps.

General Speed Cleaning Tips

• Keep all your cleaning supplies in a bucket so you can carry them from room to room. You need glass cleaner, powder cleanser, all-purpose cleaners, furniture polish, and rubber gloves. In addition, you need a tub and tile brush, old toothbrush for tiny areas, and a couple of stiff bristled paintbrushes for dusting lampshades, wicker and ornaments.


• Always clean a room from top to bottom or highest to lowest, so your floor or carpet is done last.

Speed Cleaning Tips for the Bathroom

• Clean the bathroom after someone takes a bath or shower because the steam loosens the dirt, making cleaning easier.


• Soaking your shower curtain in a salt-water solution, before you hang it, prevents mildew.


• Pour vinegar into the shower door track; let it soak for a five minutes and then rinse. In your toilet, pour some bleach and then put the lid down, leaving it until you finish cleaning.


• In a small bathroom, use a damp sponge with an all-purpose spray cleanser, to wash your floor.


• Use a sponge mop to clean the shower walls. It is fast and saves you from stretching and bending.


• Throw two denture tablets in the toilet before bed. In the morning, just run your toilet brush around a few times and flush. Your toilet will be clean and fresh.
