8 Genius Time-Saving Cleaning Hacks
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, the need for efficiency in our everyday tasks has become more pronounced. Time is a commodity and we can’t afford to waste it, especially when it comes to house cleaning. Fortunately, innovations in cleaning products such as Clorx Forceflex Plus Glad Kitchen Max Strengths has transformed the way we approach cleaning. This article will guide you through some genius time-saving cleaning hacks leveraging these products:
1. Deep clean to eliminate bacteria
Say goodbye to spending hours scrubbing your house. With the cleaning power of multipurpose cleaners like Clorox Forceflex Plus, you can perform a deep clean in a fraction of the time. Simply wipe down high-touch surfaces with these cleaners and let them air dry. They eliminate bacteria, viruses, and grime, leaving your home clean and fresh.
2. Deodorize your trash
Nobody enjoys a stinky trash can. Thankfully, you can use products like Glad Kitchen Max Strengths in your bins to absorb those unpleasant odors. Place a wipe at the bottom of your garbage bin before inserting the bag. This will not only mask any foul odors, but it will also absorb any accidental spills, making cleanup a breeze.
3. Disinfect surface areas
Kitchen hygiene is crucial, especially when it comes to cutting boards. For a swift deep clean, scrub your cutting board with a natural yet sanitizing cleaner like vinegar or lemon. It eliminates foodborne bacteria, ensuring your kitchen tools are safe for your next culinary adventure.
4. Freshen up your fridge
Cleaning the refrigerator can often be a time-consuming task. To simplify this, use a food safe multipurpose cleaner to wipe the shelves and drawers. Not only will this clean the surfaces, but it will also leave a pleasant scent, making your fridge smell as fresh as the food it stores.
5. Tidy up before a big clean
Nothing can slow your cleaning tasks down quite like having an untidy home. Clothing on the floor and furniture, dishes in the sink, scattered toys and anything else out of place will make it twice as hard to clean those areas. Before you start your cleaning tasks, take a little time to tidy up your home. This will save you a lot of time and energy. To make your kitchen sink and bathtubs easier to clean, pour some OxiClean drain cleaner in them while you tidy up. This will have them ready to be scrubbed when you get to your cleaning tasks.
6. Spot clean soft furnishings
Spills on your sofa or rug can be a nightmare. For an instant fix, blot the spill with a dilute mixture of gentle baking soda and lemon juice. You can alternatively use distilled white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, borax, or cornstarch for spot cleaning, saving you the time of a full upholstery and carpet shampoo.
7. Schedule your cleaning weekly
While it’s important to maintain a clean house by addressing simple messes each day, such as using kitchen wet wipes on the counters, it’s also important to do a deeper weekly cleaning session to keep your home from getting cluttered and dirty. A weekly cleaning session helps keep your home looking its best by tackling areas that guests might not see, and it provides a deeper clean than the usual daily tasks. Tasks that should be accomplished weekly include scrubbing the sinks, tackling microwave messes, sweeping and mopping floors, scrubbing toilets, dusting and vacuuming.
8. Pet-friendly cleaning
Keep your pet’s area clean and hygienic by using dog and cat-friendly cleaning products. Ensure any pet bedding is washed in pet-safe detergents (i.e., Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent), and use a pet-safe cleaner like Method Dog House Friendly Cleaner.
By incorporating these genius hacks, you can maintain a clean home efficiently. These handy tools help you save precious time, freeing up your schedule for the things that truly matter. Happy cleaning!
