Every woman can gain hours of free time a week by applying a series of very clever cleaning strategies.

The first month of spring is over. Whether you've already done the famous "spring cleaning" or postponed it due to lack of time, cleaning is something we never get rid of.

There are, however, harmful strategies as well as good strategies for tidying up the whole house without spending hours every week walking around with a broom, mop, and dust cloths in hand.

Here's how you can address this thorny issue and how you can gain hours of free time each week.

1 Strategy is essential

Rome was not built in a single day, and a flower is not made in spring. Your house won't look like a "moon" in a single day, so don't set unrealistic goals. Choose a few things you want to do within a week, then set priorities and tick one or two tasks from your list each day. This way you will not feel guilty for not finishing the cleaning, but you will always have the feeling that you have done everything you had to do by the end of the day.

2 Make friends with technology

The broom and the mop do not solve everything, and the mop becomes old-fashioned. Cleanliness does not have to mean dust, dirt in one place, and back pain caused by leaning around the house more than during aerobics classes. Every self-respecting woman can have a trusted friend who will help her wipe and clean any surfaces effortlessly, such as this steam wiper and cleaner. Why not take advantage of technology? In the 21st century, things are getting so simple! ”

3 Every day is important

Divide the tasks into days, but don't let a day go by without doing a little cleaning. This is especially true when it comes to dirty dishes and clothes that are not always where you want them to be. If you wash the dishes daily and put your clothes in the closet, your house will not look like a tornado at the beginning of the weekend.

4 Throw away unnecessary things

Get rid of things you know you don't use as soon as possible. If you tend to collect things, plastic bags, and all sorts of small things, hoping that they will be useful at some point, ask yourself when you last used them. If the answer is "I don't remember," it's time to dump her. Your home will suddenly become much more spacious.

5 Keep stain removers handy

Each time you stain the table, desk, couch, or carpet with food or various substances, do not allow the stains to dry out. Delete them immediately! Otherwise, you'll work ten times as much over the weekend to clean up the dirt.

6 Deep cleaning, once a week. And not anyway!

Deep cleaning of the home should take place at least from time to time. However, he does not do a general cleaning of the whole house every week and on a single weekend, but he gives one or two hours a week to thoroughly clean only one room of the house. If you want to do everything at once, the whole activity will be a chore.

7 Do not wash all laundry in one day

As with deep cleaning, do not wash all laundry in one day. Otherwise, you will be "tied" to the washing machine for a whole day. Sort clothes by color and materials and wash once every day or once every two days. You will turn the washing into a, not at all demanding routine and you will always have clean clothes.

8 The secret ingredient is…

Discipline! More effective than quick cleaning is keeping it clean, which starts with the fact that everything has to stay in place after using it, and each dish needs to be washed after eating. In the shortest time, that is, when you do general cleaning in any room of the house, you will reap the rewards, and an hour for vacuuming and dusting will be more than enough.
