Cleaning in 30 seconds

Cleaning in 30 seconds

Cleaning in 30 seconds

We often have to spend our entire weekend with a rag, mop, vacuum cleaner and washing machine.

 

But if one devotes a few free minutes to the following cleaning habits, she will save herself from such dull weekends. You will be surprised how many useful things one can do in just half a minute.

  1. Replace the dust bag in the vacuum cleaner. An overfilled bag not only sucks in dust worse, but also wears out faster.
  2. Clean the mirror. If you do not have a special product at hand, it can easily be replaced with a solution of water and table vinegar.
  3. Change the towels in the bathroom.
  4. Wipe the TV. To do this, use a special lint-free cloth.
  5. Remove stains. It does not take much time to remove a stain from a carpet or a sofa and the house will become much cleaner.
  6. Clean an area that everyone forgets about- an electrical panel, space under the sofa, chandelier, etc.
  7. Clean the entrance. The hallway is the hottest area in every home. Dust and dirt from an outdoor rug spread throughout the house. By spending a minute wiping the floor in this room, you will make the entire apartment cleaner.
  8. Have a plan. In 30 seconds you can sketch out a plan of activities for the day. This will help you use every free minute wisely.
