Are you a busy parent, and is your home a mess? Well, that’s bound to happen. Parenting is a full-time job. Between your professional life and personal life, where you’re constantly juggling between office meetings and parents’ teachers’ meetings, running to office and schools, etc., you are hardly ever able to squeeze in a minute of me-time, let alone finding the time for cleaning your house, and that too, every single day.
Well, we understand your situation, and luckily, we have a solution for you. Let us introduce you to three extremely simple, quick, and time-saving cleaning hacks that even the busiest parents can incorporate into their jam-packed schedules. Excited? Well, let’s dive into these game-changing cleaning tricks.
The 10-Minute Tidy Tornado
As its name suggests, this tip only takes 10 minutes to apply to your routine, which you can easily squeeze in at the end of the day. Moreover, it’s so effortless and quick that you can use it even for last-minute guests. To follow this 10-Minute Tidy Tornado, you need to be active and attentive. You also need to involve everyone at your home in the process. Even your kids can pitch in here.
First, have everyone grab a laundry basket and put it in different rooms. All you need to do is grab anything that doesn’t belong in the place and toss it in the laundry basket – it could be the most random of things, like socks, LEGOs, crayons, charging cables, and the like. Once you’ve put all the things in these baskets, it’s time for you to put those things back in the places where they belong. You could also make this entire process a fun game for your kids. It not only helps you keep your home clean, but also allows you to have some fun moments of precious family time.
Speed-Clean Your Kitchen with the “Wipe & Walk”
The kitchen is one of the most occupied places in your home, where most work happens. So, of course, this area needs more cleaning too. But, of course, that feels like a monumental task, especially considering the post-apocalyptic look of the kitchen after just one meal with the kids. Well, you could return your kitchen to its spotless look by dedicating just 5 minutes of your time after every single meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The total time commitment here per day is just 15 minutes.
The tip is to use the “Wipe and Walk” method to speed up cleaning your kitchen. It works in three simple steps –
- Grab a microfiber cloth and a multi-surface cleaner (or baby wipes in a pinch).
- As soon as everyone is done eating, wipe down high-touch surfaces—counters, tables, fridge handles, and microwave buttons.
- Walk away. That’s it. Don’t overthink it.
With this quick cleaning method, you can ensure that your kitchen does not build up dust, dirt, or mold and that it remains safe from becoming a science experiment or home to fungus and foul odors.
Bathroom Blitz Before Bedtime
Cleaning your bathroom is equally important. However, the bathroom can easily be neglected when you don’t have time to clean your home. Well, you can overcome the issue by just sparing 7 minutes of your time every now and then during your kids’ bedtime routine. You only need a few little things, like a quick swipe over the toilet with a disposable toilet wand or pre-loaded toilet brush and a quick wipe down over the toilet sinks, counters, and mirrors. Also, make it a point to replace the towels when you do this once in a while, in the Bathroom Blitz Routine. These small bathroom cleanings can greatly impact your overall bathroom experience.
