Tens of thousands of Nigerian city dwellers are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a high standard of cleanliness at home when workloads and busy schedules keep them preoccupied and overwhelmed. In light of this, we have created a short list of quick cleaning tips will help keep your space clean in no time.
Invest In Good Multi purpose Cleaner:
When time is not on your side, you do not have time or energy to haul 10+ cleaning products around per room to get cleaning done. What you need is one highly effective multipurpose cleaner that can be used on multiple surfaces such as tile, glass and metal in various areas in the house. Our top recommendation are Astonish Multipurpose Cleaner and Pledge Multi-surface Furniture Cleaner, these can be purchased at a supermarket near you.Clean During and After Bath
We recommend you clean your bathroom and shower walls daily to prevent grime build up. However we know that some days you snooze your alarm a little longer than you should, and end up in a rush to prepare for the day. With a spray-able bathroom cleaner, you can get your bathroom clean while in the shower. Simply spray the walls and let it work its magic then rinse off after your bath, no scrubbing needed.
Get an Entryway Door Mat
A quick and easy way to get away with not sweeping your floors every day is to invest in a door mat. This drastically cuts down the amount of sand, mud and dirt particles that make their way into your home on a daily basis. Ensure that visitors and member of your household wipe their shoes on the mat before entering the house. If you want to ensure absolute cleanliness, you may ask your visitors to leave their shoes at the door to make sure that dirt is not tracked into the house.
Line Fridge Drawers with Paper Towels
Fridge drawers are notorious for holding food stains, and are typically time consuming to clean. In order to make fridge cleaning quick and easy for you, we recommend you line fridge drawers with paper towels before putting any items inside. All spills and stains are caught in the paper towels which can be easily removed and replaced with fresh paper towels until you have enough free time to do a proper cleaning.
Store Cleaning Supplies Where Needed
Store cleaning supplies within easy to reach distances. Create supplies storage areas in the kitchen and bathroom, as this makes it easy to clean up messes immediately they are created without the added stress of searching the whole house or walking all the way to a central storage area for cleaning supplies and equipment.
Fitted Elastic Bed sheets
Your home is not fully tidied up until your bed is made. This can be a gruelling and time consuming task if you have multiple sheets, blankets, duvets, and pillows. Investing in bed sheets with elastic bands almost completely eliminates the need to lay the bed. Simply brush off the sheets, straighten the covers, fluff the pillows and you’re ready to go.
