We all lead busy lives, so to help keep your home tidy in half the time why not try these simple cleaning tips and tricks from the experts at Merry Maids. With just a little effort and some insider knowledge you can get on top of the chores and free up some valuable “me time”.
Fresh in a flash
Merry Maids top tip for keeping rooms smelling fresh is to sprinkle your living room carpet with baking soda before you go to bed. The next morning a quick vacuum will leave you with a cleaner smelling room.
Overnight oven cleaner
Apply oven cleaner at the end of the day and leave over night, that way you can dramatically cut down the amount of scrubbing time. Merry Maids recommends using a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda to keep your oven clean. Moisten the inside of your oven with water, apply a thick layer of baking soda and let it sit for three hours, while you get on with other things. Spray vinegar on the baking soda and watch it fizz into action. Leave overnight and then wipe clean in the morning.
Scrub a dub tub
If both you and your shower are in need of freshening up, why not kill two birds with one stone? Disrobe and hop in armed with your best scrub brush. Soap up, and then rinse yourself and the shower at once. Both you and your shower will be fresh and clean in half the time! Glass shower doors look better for longer it you use a squeegee to remove water after you shower.
Dust talk
If you have a friend that seems to keep you on the phone for an hour, use the time to multi task. Try using a micro fibre cleaning cloth to clean your furniture, this not only makes the best use of your time but will also help to catch more dust than a regular duster and will cut down the need to use cleaning products.
Get the kids involved
And let’s not forget, cleaning the house isn’t just your responsibility. If you have children why not get them involved by giving them a regular cleaning chore? Even if you only start small with something simple like making their own bed or tidying away toys at the end of the day.
Don’t panic
If you really don’t have the time to get stuck into your chores then don’t panic, Merry Maids will come to the rescue. They can provide a bespoke service offering anything from a one-off top to toe clean to a regular monthly, bi-weekly or weekly clean, all to the same high standard.
