Life gets busy, and sometimes cleaning falls to the bottom of the list. But a sparkling home doesn’t always require hours of scrubbing, just a few smart shortcuts. At Moella’s Touch Cleaning, we know the value of time, so here are five quick cleaning hacks to help you stay on top of things without sacrificing your schedule.
- Set a 10-Minute Timer
Grab a timer (or your phone) and commit to cleaning just 10 minutes at a time. Focus on one area—like your kitchen counters or living room clutter. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish when you’re racing the clock. Bonus: it keeps you from feeling overwhelmed.
2. Keep Multipurpose Wipes Handy
Stash disinfecting or eco-friendly cleaning wipes in high-traffic spots like the bathroom, kitchen, or office. A quick swipe over surfaces can keep grime from building up and save you from deep scrubbing later.
3. Do the “Two-for-One” Trick
Combine tasks whenever possible. For example, spray your shower tiles with cleaner before stepping out, and by the time you’re dressed, they’re ready to rinse. Or run the dishwasher while you’re folding laundry. Little overlaps save big time.
4. Declutter as You Go
Carry a small basket around as you move through the house. Drop in anything that doesn’t belong in that room, and return items to their rightful place in one trip. This keeps clutter under control without marathon tidying sessions.
5. Focus on High-Impact Areas
When you’re short on time, concentrate on the spots guests notice most, like the corridor, kitchen counters, and bathrooms. A quick refresh in these areas makes your whole home feel cleaner, even if you didn’t touch every room.
Pro Tip: If your schedule leaves little time for even speed-cleaning, Moella’s Touch Cleaning can take care of the heavy lifting for you. That way, you can come home to a space that always feels fresh and welcoming.
