Keeping your home or Airbnb clean can be overwhelming when it feels like there’s a never-ending set of tasks to complete. But, with the right cleaning approach, you can make it faster and easier every time you do it. Whether you’re balancing family life and work, or just trying to keep on top of mess, some small changes can cut down your cleaning time (and help professional cleaners!).

Here are some of the easiest ways to speed up your cleaning routine for a fresh and sparkling home.

Invest in good cleaning products and materials

Using the right cleaning tools and materials makes a huge difference to how long it takes. For example, simply switching to high-quality microfibre clothes and mop systems will reduce the time spent scrubbing surfaces and floors. Multi-surface sprays are also a good option to save you time on the number of products you need to carry around your home, while still achieving long-lasting results.

Declutter and tidy your house – everything has a place!

One of the biggest time-wasters during cleaning is moving clutter around to get to surfaces and floor spaces. But, if you give every item in your home a designated place, it results in less time picking things up before you start vacuuming or dusting. This doesn’t mean you have to invest lots of money in extra storage. Have regular decluttering sessions to create more space and scan each room when you enter it to see what’s out of place. Do you use it? Do you love it? Do you need it? If not…it’s time to give it away or sell it!

Write a house cleaning checklist for a good routine

Having a cleaning checklist ensures you stay organised and nothing gets overlooked. Break down tasks into daily, weekly and monthly jobs. For example, wiping down counters is a daily task, but vacuuming is something you should do once a week. Checklists can also help you track your progress and ensure the overall cleaning process doesn’t feel so overwhelming, breaking it down into smaller, manageable jobs.

Regular house cleaning is key

The more regularly you clean your home, the less time each session takes! Allowing dust, mess and grime to build up makes cleaning harder and longer. Quick daily habits, like wiping bathroom sinks or leaving your kitchen clean at the end of each day stops these tasks from becoming bigger later on.

Share cleaning tasks

Cleaning a home entirely yourself is too much responsibility for one person. Assign tasks out amongst your family to ensure everyone contributes. Thousands of households also hire a professional cleaner to complete particular tasks on a regular basis (like dusting, mopping floors and vacuuming). This is one of the easiest ways to stay on top of your house cleanliness.
