Cleaning
your apartment is not often number one on the list of things you’d
like to do. However, you could be making cleaning tasks
unintentionally harder, resulting in the need to put in more work for
a lower payoff. Following a few simple rules will result in shorter,
easier cleaning sessions that will keep your Mountain View apartment
looking great without a significant investment of time or effort on
your part.
Clean
As You Go
Rather
than performing a single deep clean every once in a while, consider
the method of “cleaning as you go.” Whenever you use something,
put it away immediately as soon as you’re through. Empty the trash
in a given room whenever it needs to be emptied, instead of waiting
for every trashcan in your apartment to fill up. When cooking, wash
plates and utensils as you use them, rather than letting them pile up
in the sink for days. Rinse out your shower or bathtub and use a
squeegee to clean the tile every time you bathe. Performing these
small tasks every day will result in less work overall and a cleaner,
more enjoyable apartment.
Eat
At the Table
One
of the easiest ways to reduce the amount of cleaning you need to do
on a regular basis is to eat at your kitchen or dining room table.
This simple task keeps crumbs contained and makes it easier to return
dishes to the kitchen for cleaning when you’re done. Eating in
other areas of your apartment not only spreads crumbs and food scraps
over a larger area (even if you’re a careful eater), it can be
tempting to leave dishes, utensils, and glasses scattered about,
causing your apartment to look messier and take longer to clean.
Use
the Right Cleaning Supplies
Every
job becomes harder when you don’t use tools suited to the work.
Although it can be tempting to skimp on your cleaning supplies due to
lack of interest or in an attempt to save money, you’re actually
creating more work for yourself over the long term. Some of the basic
cleaning supplies you should have on hand include a squeegee, a
broom, a vacuum cleaner, a few microfiber cloths, a bucket, and a
quality duster. These simple tools can get most cleaning jobs done
efficiently to reduce the amount of work needed to keep your
apartment looking its best. If you’re still interested in reducing
the cost of your cleaning supplies, use
vinegar, water, and dish soap rather than expensive cleaning
solutions.
