We’ve all been there, you get a call or text to say someone is on their way to visit but your house is in chaos. The first thing you do if you are like me is panic, then you pull out the vacuum and frantically start cleaning. I thought I would share with you my 5 top tips for cleaning your home in a hurry.

Cleaning Your Home In A Hurry

Pick It All Up

Before you even begin cleaning pick up a bag, box or anything else suitable and collect anything that doesn’t belong in that space. Set a timer and spend a maximum of 15 minutes gathering all the misplaced items up. You can sort it all out later the main focus here is clearing the space so you can clean.

Speed Vacuum

Don’t worry about getting into the crevices and corners the aim here is speed. Racing round with the vacuum is fantastic exercise too.

Quick Mop

A Spray mop is fantastic for cleaning in a hurry. You can simply fill up the water tank with your favourite solution and away you go. Spray mops are fantastic for spot cleaning and give floors that quick burst of freshness.

Swish

Grab that duster and swish and swipe all visible surfaces, don’t worry about moving anything just work around things. Do the same to kitchen counters and appliances with a dishcloth, remember you not going for a deep clean. You are aiming for done not perfect!

Freshen The Bathroom

My biggest priority when visitors descend is ensuring my bathrooms are fresh and clean. Disinfectant wipes are perfect for this job. A quick wipe-down and a squirt of toilet cleaner ensure a fresh sparkling toilet.

I hope these tips help you when you need to clean your home in a hurry. Do you have any other quick cleaning tips?
