Life gets on top of us and sometimes, just sometimes so does the housework. Although we like to think that we pride ourselves on our house-cleaning abilities, the busier we are, the more this becomes neglected. It could be that you’ve put your home up for a quick sale and you need to get it cleaned from top to bottom in the quickest and most thorough way possible. It might also be that you’ve finally managed to get your little ones off for a half hour nap, and you have to act quickly in the given window. Whatever your reason for needing to speed clean your home, these top tips will surely help you along the way.

Keep Your Cleaning Products Altogether

The first step to being more organised and ultimately cleaning your home faster, is by keeping your tools organised. For example, things like cleaning spray, bleach, dusting spray and glass cleaner can all be stored together in a place where they’re easy to reach. If you know where everything is, it shaves a surprising amount of time off your cleaning schedule. There’s nothing worse than looking everywhere for something that you need right in that moment, so make your own life easier. You could even have a small box organised in each room. The easiest way to do this is probably by having a kitchen box, and a bathroom box – because really you can incorporate what you need for the other rooms into these boxes, and you’re more likely to have storage for them in the kitchen and bathroom. Literally, purchase two small boxes for all of your cleaning products, and put half in a bathroom cupboard, and half in a kitchen cupboard. Then you know exactly where they are, and when you’ve finished using them, remember to put them back! Sometimes being organised really is key.

Make a Schedule

This might sound fairly regimented for doing a quick house clean, but depending on your situation, it might be the easiest way.

For example, say you’ve chosen to sell your house with a quick sale company such as Ready Steady Sell. This tool, although fast and easy inevitably limits the amount of time you’ll have to get your home ready for valuation, and although they do buy any house, you want to make a good impression, don’t you?

So if you’re under some tight time constraints, a schedule could be right for you. Go through each room in the house, and make a checklist of everything that needs doing, and if you follow it accurately, then you should get through it pretty quickly. The list can also be in order of importance, as in what rooms take priority as the most important rooms because they’re seen the most? The likely answer to this is bathroom, kitchen, living area – so focus on those three initially.

Make it a Family Affair

Are your kids competitive, and your other half even more so? If this is the case, why not make super-fast house clean a bit of a challenge, and enlist the help of your family to get the job done. 

Why not work together as a team, and give your little ones age appropriate jobs to do whilst the adults tackle the rest? Tell them that the best cleaner wins a prize – when in reality, you’ll all win a prize. You’ll have a lovely tidy home, and they’ll learn the importance of tidying. That’s a joke! But at the end of the day, it’s true. So why not say if they help and do a good job, that you’ll all go out for tea or something? That way you all have something to look forwards to, and you actually end up spending some quality time together as a family unit. Working together as a family to achieve something can be a really great bonding experience in our busy lives, so why not make something of it?

Declutter

Last but not least, declutter. This is one of those nightmare jobs that no one is ever really sure how it’s best to tackle, but if you organise your clutter into three separate piles, it’s a lot quicker.

  1. Clutter that isn’t clutter at all, and you’d just forgotten that you had it.
  2. Clutter that is clutter to you, but can definitely be used again by someone else and either given to charity or to family/friends.
  3. Clutter that is literally just that. Clutter.

Once you’ve organised the said “clutter” you’ll feel a lot better, and your house will be a lot cleaner. Remember, you don’t have to be the next Marie Kondo to spring joy through organising your home!
