Too busy to clean? 2 minutes is all you need. Doing any one of the following steps will make a room appear cleaner, but doing all three will really do the trick and won’t take time away from the fun stuff.

Get started using a trash bag, a box or tote bag, and some all purpose cleaning wipes.

1. Eliminate Trash & Gather Clutter. Make a pass through the room starting at the door and working left to right. As you move around the room, put all trash in the trash bag, and gather any items that don’t belong in this room into a box or bag that can be stashed until later or toted to the room(s) where they really live.

 

2. Wipe surfaces. Now that the trash and clutter are gone, focus on the major flat surfaces. Use an all purpose cleaning wipe like Pledge Multi Surface Everyday cleaner, Lysol wipes, or your favorite cleaner on a damp cloth, and quickly wipe the surfaces. The cleaning wipes will leave a fresh scent and any dust and crumbs will be nabbed. When the major surfaces are clean, use the same cloth to spot clean the floor.

 

3. “Froof.” This is my word for gussying up a space. Straighten any knick-knacks & decor, fluff pillows, etc.

In just minutes, you’ll have a fresh, livable space again!
