5 Hacks to Keep Your Home Clean

When it comes to cleaning a house, you are bound to fall into the same habit of how you’ve been spring cleaning every single year without realising that you could have quicker and easier alternatives. Here are some cleaning tips before you get started :)

Spring is here and we’re as excited to get the cleaning done before the festive season arrives. Tidying up a home requires plenty of time and energy. Everyone also has a different idea of “clean”. Some could be squeaky clean floors while others could be having clean sheets. When it comes to cleaning a house, you are bound to fall into the same habit of how you’ve been spring cleaning every single year without realising that you could have quicker and easier alternatives.

Here are some cleaning tips before you get started: 

1. Plan Your Cleaning Tasks

Having a schedule will help make your tasks more manageable. Set yourself an achievable limit a day so you get the job done. You can also plan to complete smaller chores daily or take up a day or two to do a deep clean so you can sort out your spring cleaning once and for all. Prioritise heavy cleaning chores. For instance, cleaning your windows take lots of energy and time but, will make your home cleaner, brighter and of course, spark joy! This will also inspire you to keep the momentum going.

2. Combine Tasks

Once you have set up a plan to clean different areas of your home, combine your chores to make your cleaning tasks more efficient. If you’re already cleaning your blinds, you might as well clean those windows too. When you’re washing, or vacuuming the floors, clean the baseboards of your home. If you’re cleaning your décor in the living room, clean your furniture where your décor is sitting on so the dust doesn’t build up. A handy scrubby cleaning cloth like the EuroScrubby makes clean up fast and easy. Your time and energy is already put into cleaning those areas so might as well you give a thorough clean to keep your home spick and span.

3. Use a Soap Dispenser Dish Brush to Clean Smooth Surfaces

A soap dispenser dish brush can do more than just cleaning the dishes! You might be surprise but has anyone ever told you that you can utilise a soap dispenser dish brush to clean your bathroom walls or bathroom sink? Whether you’re in the shower or getting rid of gunk in the corners of your bathroom walls, a soap dispenser dish brush can also clean smooth ceramic surfaces like tiles or bathroom sinks. You also save the hassle of adding the cleaning detergent as it has specified space to hold enough for several uses before you start to refill once again. This handy tool saves you some extra time.

4. Been Using the Same Expensive Brand of Laundry Detergent? Consider Switching!

It’s no surprise some laundry detergent brands are not worth the hype. Some may even work the same as they do with water. Brands can also be costly and may not even work well. It’s always a better win when you can find one that’s more affordable and works like a charm. If you’re thinking to make the switch, try out the Eco-Clean Super Concentrate Laundry Detergent Sheet. This highly concentrated sheet is not only eco-friendly, but is so easy to use, causes no spills, and it’s as light as a feather! No more lifting heavy and bulky laundry detergent containers. You can now wash with confidence and convenience.

5. De-Stink the Kitchen Sink / Versatile Tools for Versatile Cleaning

If you can’t find the right cleaning tools, utilise tools that can work the same way. For instance, silicone scrubbers are regularly used to wash the dishes but they also work extremely well to clean sinks or bathroom tiles. Silicone scrubbers feature smart polymer bristles that can not only clean out stubborn dirt and grime, but also easily scrub grimes at the corner of your walls as they are flexible.
