Here’s ten excellent ideas to cut down on major house and life-cleaning projects. I especially like the leaving the dishwasher open while cooking, provided it’s not a safety hazard.
- Keep the dishwasher open and fill with dirty dishes as you cook.
Have a sink full of hot soapy water to hold the hand wash items so they
can soak and be easily cleaned. - Sort the silverware as you fill the dishwasher, each type of
utensil getting its own slot in the utensil holder. - Do a quick wipe inside the oven while doing the dishes, cleaning up
any spills and splatters. - Make sure all clean dishes in the dishwasher are put away nightly.
- Wipe down the inside of the microwave nightly.
- Each day wipe down the bathroom sink, toilet and spray the inside of the shower with cleaner, empty the bathroom trash into the main trash.
- Place door mats at all entrances to the home, they help hold much
of the dirt from shoes rather than getting tracked throughout the
house. - Bulk cook.
- Assign one day a week for errands, and stick to it.
- Do at least two full loads of laundry per day.
