When time is not on your side and you have to do several things at once, cleaning is not the easiest process in the world. Therefore, methods that can help you to be efficient both in terms of results and in terms of duration are always welcome. We will give you a series of such tips in the following so that it will be easier for you to do your job.

Here's how to put one together for use with your daycare.

How can you have a clean house in record time?

1. How to clean the bathroom quickly

Time: about 25 minutes

Start by applying, using a sprayer, vinegar folded with water on the faucet and shower or bathtub faucets, but also the tiles near them.

Leave everything like this for 10 minutes for the solution to do its job. It will help dissolve the limestone. In addition, pour chlorine or the disinfectant solution you usually use in the toilet and on its walls.

If you have a shower, divide the surface into three areas. Spray the solution I told you about on the surface of one area, let it work, then spray the other two.

Then return to the first area and wipe it with a damp cloth, then do the same with the remaining surface. In the end, use another cloth, this time dry.

After you have finished cleaning the shower, you can return to the bathroom faucets and faience by wiping them all with a damp cloth. To give them shine, use a piece of dry cloth. To finish cleaning the toilet, use the brush only after the disinfectant has acted, so that you do not have to spend a lot of time trying to clean.

Once you have checked all this, you can move on to the last step of cleaning the bathroom: wipe the tiles with a mop and let the surfaces dry, while you continue your work in the other rooms of the house.

2. How to clean the bedroom quickly

Time: about 35 minutes

Start by throwing away all the pans and boxes that you no longer use. Put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher or, if you don't have one, clean them in the classic style. Once you have washed them, put them in the drip and take care of the other aspects.

So, go to the fridge and take out all the food, checking the warranty period and its appearance. Throw away everything that has expired and put the good products back together. Then, with the help of a sponge, clean the shelves and put a container of baking soda inside to get rid of any unpleasant odors.

Next comes the cleaning of the stove, for which you can use a special product purchased for this purpose or simply a little dishwashing detergent, depending on how the situation requires it. For the oven, you can use a little baking soda on a damp sponge. You'll see how fast you can get rid of unwanted fat!

For the microwave, use a trick at hand: put a pot of water inside and turn on the oven for 5 minutes. The steam emanating from the hot water will help to quickly remove the stains, fluidizing the fat so that you will be able to wipe them more easily with a cloth.

In the end, of course, it is necessary to take care of the floor tiles, and then let them dry, while you continue your work in the other rooms.

3. How to clean the living room in record time

Time: about 40 minutes

If you have a carpet in the living room, then use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of lint, dust, and dust mites. As all this accumulates in the fibers of the material that covers the armchairs and sofas, the same device is useful in their case.

For windows, use a sprayer and a special solution. In addition, a few newspaper sheets would be useful, as they will not leave traces or scraps of material, as a cloth could do, during the cleaning process.

Chandeliers can be a nightmare when it comes to cleaning them, especially if they have arms or are decorated with crystal cakes.

In the latter case, you must proceed as follows!

To get started, remove the bulbs from the shade and use a ladder or chair that you can safely climb. Then put on a pair of soft textile gloves and moisten one of them with a window washer solution.

Then wipe with it every element of the chandelier, even the turtle. In order not to leave traces, use a dry glove to remove the excess solution from each portion.

Last but not least, you need to dust off the furniture, and for curtains made of textile, you can confidently use a hand vacuum cleaner, such as those used inside cars.

4. How to clean quickly in the bedroom

Time: about 35 minutes

Once you arrive in this room, repeat the operations performed in the living room, and at the end, change the bedding with some clean and fragrant ones.

By following these instructions, you will be able to say that you have managed to find the answer to the question "How to clean quickly?" and, in addition, you will get rid of the stress caused by lack of time.
