I love a good cleaning hack! I feel like most of my time is spent cleaning.
Not only a good list of quick cleaning hacks- but also a good reminder for some areas of my home that I might be neglecting. I read number 4, to dust the top of the extractor fan hood and thought, uh oh, when was the last time I did that?!
Amazing tips, I think any parent can benefit from this. Kids make it so hard to maintain cleanliness in your home.
Great tips. I am sure to make my bed everyday. It makes the biggest difference to a bedroom.
Wow, I feel motivated to go knock a few of those items off my list after reading that! Great ideas and I appreciate the list of ideas being concise and to the point! (busy Mom here too ;)) Thanks for sharing!
Great list! Sometimes cleaning can get very overwhelming, but you can get a lot done in a short amount of time.
I have 2 daughters and my house is always a mess. These are great tips! I try to clean whenever I can sneak in a few minutes here and there, and now I have more ideas on what to do when I have 2 minutes to spare. Thank for sharing!
I love the list you provided! Some many of the little things we don’t think about on a daily basis.
My partner does a tornado clean but I’m a putterer. I like to do little tasks throughout the day, so this list is a great tool for me.
So true, little tasks can make a big difference and as a mom, I simply don’t have time to do a big clean with my little explorer running around. Thanks, Kris from Any Mommy Can Make Money
