The Ultimate plan for Cleaning your Apartment in Under an Hour
All of us have had the dream where we are growing old in a small and pretty house in town’s suburbs, watching our corgi running outside in the garden while the birds chirp a set of sounds strangely familiar to some of Queen’s best hits. Of course, in reality, we are probably spending most of our time in the apartment - the house’s smaller brother created with the idea to keep us as close as possible to the dynamic routine of the modern society.
Cleaning the apartment is a task that most of the people are neglecting. This is pretty normal if we consider how much time we spend at work and what kind of energy has left in us after the workday. We should also find time for family, friends, social activities and many more.
There is one big lie that people love spreading around, and it says that cleaning takes much time. No - the most important thing regarding cleanup is consistency. You should clean regularly - some tasks may require everyday attention, while with others, this may be on a weekly or even monthly basis. Following is a schedule that will streamline the entire process.
Below are a couple of ways to clean the entire apartment in a very short amount of time while still maintaining the best possible look.
Living room
Take the vacuum cleaner and dust the entire floor and curtains or blinds. Use the appropriate vacuum attachments which will help you remove every bit left under the sofas and couches. Straighten up any blankets and cushions. You can place some kind of air freshener. There are various types sold in the big shopping malls, including such with timers or movement sensors. Both of them will make your room feel like you’ve spent all weekend cleaning. Of course, air fresheners cannot hide odours, so make sure you ventilate the room regularly. There is nothing else like fresh air.
If you are willing to spend a few more minutes with the microfiber, you can dust the insides of any furniture left. You can also make the same for the fans on the ceiling. Here is a quick hack - take an old pillow cover, put it over fan’s blades (one at a time), tight it and then pull it back. This will leave all dust inside the cover which you can then throw or wash out.
Bedroom
Always make your bed. Believe it or not, there is nothing more effective that this easy “hack”. Put away the laundry, pick any clothes from the floor, gather all the shoes that were temporary “on a break”. Remove any clutter that should not be inside the room - cups, glasses, magazines, and so on. All of these will cost you no more than 15 minutes, and the bedroom will look clean and tidy.
Kitchen
Kitchen is indeed the dirtiest place in any house or apartment. While there is a numerous amount of different stuff that needs cleaning (stove, oven, furniture, sink, windows, dishes and even more), you may follow some simple steps to keep it in a surprisingly good condition. First - wash your dishes daily or use the dishwasher if you have one. Do not leave any garbage inside for more than a day, especially on hot days. Use disinfectant wipes to remove all dirt and dust from shelves and kitchen electrics. Put a glass of water and lemon inside the microwave for three to five minutes and then wipe the insides. This will remove most if not all stains.
Bathroom
Gather up all things spread across the entire bathroom - electronics, towels, makeup and toiletries. Put them on a single place or better - inside different drawers. Get some WC cleaner and scrum toilet’s insides, especially under the inner edge. Pour a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice inside the sink to remove any dirt from the surface. Leave it this way for 10 minutes and then rinse it away with hot water. Finally, sweep up the floor to collect and hair and dirt left on it.
