Tired of the cleaning dilemma? Everyone wants a clean house but no one wants to spend all day on it. Luckily, we’ve got your back with some efficient cleaning tips that will leave you with more time to enjoy your sparkling home. And guess what? Easy Living Cleaners can take care of these tasks for you, so you can relax even more.

Is there a best way to clean your house fast? We've all been there, wondering whether we should dust or vacuum first, or whether the kitchen should be tackled before the bathroom. Well, fret no more! Follow this step-by-step guide, refined from years of experience, and you'll find yourself breezing through your cleaning tasks in no time.

1. Clean the Whole House, Not One Room at a Time
Imagine this: You’re tackling the kitchen, then the bathroom, and before you know it, you’re stuck in a cleaning loop. Sound familiar? The secret to efficiency is to pick a task, like dusting or vacuuming, and tackle it throughout your entire home. By doing this, you break free from the endless cycle of starting the same task over and over again in different rooms. So, grab your tool of choice and conquer your entire house at once!

2. Gather All Your Cleaning Tools in a Caddy

Picture this: You’re in the middle of cleaning and suddenly realize you need a different spray or cloth from another room. Annoying, right? That's where a cleaning caddy, bucket, or tote comes to the rescue. Before you start, gather all your cleaning essentials and stash them in your portable cleaning station. No more scavenger hunts for supplies—everything you need is at your fingertips!

3. Clear the Clutter

Let's declutter like a pro! Before diving into cleaning, go room by room and deal with the mess. Books strewn on the coffee table? Put them back on the shelf. Shoes cluttering the hallway? Pop them in the closet. The goal is to create a clean slate for your cleaning spree. As you pick up items, decide whether they should stay, be tossed, or donated. This not only clears your physical space but also clears your mind for efficient cleaning.

4. Dust and Vacuum

Dust, dust, baby! Starting from the top, tackle the dust on ceiling fans, tops of furniture, undersides of shelves, handrails, picture frames, and even those TV screens. Quick tip: Turn off ceiling fans before dusting them to prevent the spread of dust. Now, it's vacuum time! As you move through your home, remember to change the sheets in the bedrooms before vacuuming. Efficiency at its finest!

Our favorite fan duster features a 3 foot extendable pole and the cleaning head allows you to clean all sides of the fan blade at the same time. Best of all, the duster pads are removable, washable and reusable! Link to purchase on Amazon: Blade Maid Ceiling Fan Cleaner

5. Wipe Mirrors and Glass

Mirror, mirror on the wall, it's time to make you shine. With a damp microfiber cloth, give all the mirrors and glass surfaces a good wipe. Follow up with a dry cloth for that streak-free sparkle. Voila! Your reflection will thank you for the clarity. It’s important to ensure your cloth is clean, as dirty ones could lead to small surface level scratches.

6. Disinfect Countertops and Surface Areas

Germs, meet your match! Armed with a nontoxic solution of vinegar and water, embark on a mission to disinfect. Wipe down countertops, appliances, cabinets, doorknobs, light switches, TV remotes—anything that hands touch frequently. This not only keeps your space clean but also creates a healthier environment for you and your loved ones. Prefer a non toxic cleaning solution?

7. Focus on Tubs, Sinks, and Toilets

Time to conquer the throne! Spritz cleaner on sinks, tubs, and toilets, giving them time to marinate while you move on to other tasks. When you return, scrub away dirt and stains. And don’t forget the kitchen sink; tackle it before moving to the bathroom. The cherry on top? Clean toilets last to avoid cross-contamination.

8. Sweep, Then Mop

Sweeping and mopping, the dynamic duo! Start by sweeping floors in both the kitchen and bathroom, getting rid of those pesky dust bunnies. Now, it's mopping time. Begin from the farthest corner of the room and work your way toward the exit. For a flawless finish, rinse your mop after each 4-by-4-foot area. Clean floors? Check!

9. Keep Moving When You Vacuum

No need to get obsessed with every nook and cranny while vacuuming. Just keep moving through each room, giving the carpet a thorough pass. This efficient method saves time and energy, and before you know it, your floors will be spick and span.

In the market for a newer multi floor vacuum? We’re big fans of cordless for quick spot cleanups. Most newer ones have extended battery life allowing you to easily cover a few rooms and hallways with battery to spare for other areas. The Dyson Animal also has a couple of different power settings for efficiency. Link to purchase on Amazon: Dyson Animal Cordless HEPA Vacuum Cleaner

10. Don’t Forget to Routinely Wash Your Cleaning Tools

Tools need TLC too! Regularly clean your cleaning tools. A dirty mop or a vacuum with a full bag won't do justice to your cleaning efforts. Spend a little time maintaining your tools, and they'll reward you with peak performance.

11. Make Cleaning a Group Activity

Why not turn cleaning into a family event? Assign tasks to each family member and get things done together. Not only does it speed up the process, but it can also inject some fun into a usually mundane chore. Plus, your house will be shining in no time, and everyone gets to share the credit!
