How to streamline your home cleaning

Cleaning is never ending. Just even the thought of getting the whole house cleaned can be overwhelming.

And it can be the toughest thing to handle. So, how do people make cleaning easier? There are so many tips to be shared. Here are some tips on how to streamline your home cleaning.

Schedule Cleaning

Just like making an appointment to have your hair done or meeting up for lunch; schedule a time to do your cleaning and after a while, it becomes part of your routine. Making the tasks more specific takes away the overwhelming feeling of where to start.

Do a Bit at a Time

When you break down the task into increments, doing a little at a time makes the task appear easier.  Try doing it when you have leisure time, instead of waiting until you have several tasks. One way is setting a timer. While the timer is on, work to achieve the tasks you have scheduled.

Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

Scheduling what you know you can achieve makes the task achievable. Biting off more than you can chew leaves you feeling tired and overwhelmed. Putting in too much effort actually drains you, limits willpower reserves and will leave you stressed, anxious and tired for the next thing you have to do.

Multitask

Multi-tasking is a skill admired by all as it allows you to do combine smaller ones at the same time. Find a multi-purpose cleaning product instead of having 3 to 4 different kinds of cleaner for your home. For example, buy a good floor cleaning liquid that can be used in both the kitchen and other living rooms. So, you can clean your kitchen and living rooms at the same time which save both time and energy.

Meal Planning

Plan your menu for the coming week and finish your grocery shopping on the weekend. Do all your cooking for the week on the weekend night. This means that there is less cleaning in the kitchen. Freezing meal portions of food will save time too. Plus, this helps you get a head start on your day and leaves less hassle to deal with your day to day busy life.

De-Clutter

The more items and collectables that you have in your home, the more dust will accumulate. Decluttering your house will rid items that are not used often. It will give you more space and less to clean.

Get Some Help

If you live in a home with children, teach them how to clean up after themselves. Delegating age-appropriate chores will not only teach them how to look after their things it will teach them self-reliance. This can be as easy as having a cleaning roster where household members are assigned specific tasks each week.
