Tips for Easy Home Cleaning

Keeping your apartment spotless is easy with the right tools like mops and a well-planned cleaning schedule. Allot some time everyday or every week for home cleaning so it's easy to keep your home sparkling. You can spend as little as five to eight minutes a day for each room to lessen your cleanup workload. Schedule major cleaning tasks like cleaning the kitchen on weekends.

Another tip to deal with major home cleaning jobs is to break up the process into small tasks. If you wish to clean the kitchen, you can schedule smaller activities like cleaning the oven, wiping down the counters or mopping the floors on different days. Doing the dishes is a big part of cleaning the kitchen which appears cleaner when the sink is clear of dirty dishes. Make it a habit to do the dishes right after dining so it's easy to clean your kitchen.

A large part of home cleaning is done when you simply de-clutter. Storage tools like trays and caddies are great for organizing and de-cluttering. Use trays on the entryway table to corral mail, keys and other odds and ends in one spot. Trays are also very helpful for holding bottles of perfume, hand lotion as well as jewelry and watches on the bedroom vanity. Wicker baskets are great as laundry hampers and they can be used as storage for books and magazines. As these storage and organizing tools are available in a wide range of styles and materials, it's easy to select ones that complement your home decor.

Before you begin your weekly or daily home cleaning, it's important to have mops, brooms and brushes at hand. Cleaning tools such as mops and brooms are necessary for general cleaning tasks like sweeping and mopping spills. Different types of brushes are needed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen sink. Keep all your mops, brushes and cleaning supplies in one spot so it's easy to find them when you need them.

Use earth-friendly cleaning products that are good for the environment as well as your home. Everyday things such as baking soda, white vinegar and lemon juice can be used to make green cleaning products at home. Herbs like lavender or essential oils can be used to add fragrance to homemade cleaners.
Happy Cleaning!
