Shampooing the carpets once a week will also serve the purpose well. This will help you maintain the beauty of the carpets for long.

what is the most efficient way to speed clean you house?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009


I have a basic routine that I follw EVERYDAY.. It’s pretty simple but, I know if I have unexpected company my house isn’t a wreak !

I use LYSOL/CLOROX or even generic brand anti-bacterial/disenfectant wipes. You can find them pretty much everywhere these days.. I stash them under every sink in the house….

In the AM. I quickly wipe down ALL bathroom surfaces… Countertops/sinks and toilets AND I give the mirrors a wipe with WINDOW CLEANER… Then once a week I take down all the towels/rugs and give them a good wash and replace. I also scrub the tub/tile surround AND sweep/mop the floor…

est. time 10 min. daily/ 20 min weekly

*Have a spare set of nice towels/rugs to put up in the bathroom while the other set is getting washed !

I get the kids up and ready for breakfast.. While they are eating I will use the wipes and wipe down ALL appliances/surfaces/sinks.

Unload/load the dishwasher…

While they eat.. I will vacuum the livingroom/diningroom combo EVERYDAY or I will dust from ceiling-floor and then vacuum.. I also vacuum my upolstery once a week…

Est. time 10 min everyday

In the bedrooms I will make ALL the beds.. Once a week I strip the bed linens/wash/replace AND dust/vacuum.

10 min. daily….

Every night BEFORE bed I have the children pick up ALL their toys and put away….

Once a week since we have a basement family room I will go down there and put away toys and vacuum/mop..

1 hour

I have 2 toddler/large breed dog and a 3 bdrm 1 1/2 bath RANCH….. I also work in the evenings 2-4 nights per week.

If you need to speed clean for "surprise" company these "tricks" work… You can also pick up items from each room and place in a laundry basket to "stash" temporarily in a closet until the company leave and you can put the items away..

Also, if you have a mudroom or somewhere where you/family can remove your shoes that will keep 80% of dust/dirt from getting into the house !

Also, clean your furnace filter every 30 days to keep dust/dirt down…..

Good luck

I vacuum/tidy the office EVERYDAY…
