We imagine these neat freaks have some sort of magic potion, but in reality, they just have a few secret tricks up their sleeves that allow them to keep their home looking its best with minimal effort. If you would like to keep clean house everyday we have some video tips and domestic cleaners top secrets reviled for you in this article to save you time and energy…

Make cleaning house a group activity.

One of the most effective ways to clean a house quickly is to make it a team effort. Make a time with your family ahead of time and give chores to each member. Working together may make cleaning more enjoyable, and your home will be spotless in no time.

Put your cleaning supplies in a caddy.

Having everything you need to clean in one portable location, whether it’s a caddy, bucket, or tote, makes the work much easier. You won’t have to waste time hunting for equipment while cleaning, and you won’t have to worry about collecting them before your next cleaning session.

Clean the kitchen after you cook.

The messiest parts of your kitchen are generally preparing, cooking, serving, and tidying up after dinner. And, because you cook dinner hundreds of times a year, concentrating on effective ways to keep your kitchen clean is an investment that pays off by making dinnertime and the aftermath significantly less uncomfortable.

Keep sink clean and clear each day.

You’ll be well on your way to perfecting a tidy home if you clear up the clutter in the sink and wash the dishes every day. After supper, or throughout the day, you may effortlessly fill the dishwasher. It’s best to use it at night. Then, in the morning, while the kids are eating breakfast, unload it. It’s difficult to feel in control when your sink is overflowing with dirty dishes. This is one of those cleaning tips that can be readily automated.

Make your bed everyday.

I’ve always battled with this one because I just didn’t comprehend it. But, despite my reservations, I agreed to try it for a week. To see what the fuss was all about. And let me tell you something. It really does tidy up a place and get your day started on the right foot. Here are a few tricks I use to make getting those beds made every day incredibly simple. The top sheet should be discarded. First and foremost, get rid of the top sheet unless you absolutely need it to sleep. Ours was constantly curled up at the foot of the bed. It also makes it simple for kids to make their beds, since they only need to pull up a blanket.  You don’t need 15 pillows on your bed, for crying out loud. It’s obvious. It’s true. It is something we are all aware of.

Don’t put off doing your laundry until it’s too late.

Julie Finch-Scally, a Hygiene Management & Cleaning expert and author of “The Third Oldest Profession: The A-Z of House Cleaning,” offers some excellent tips on how to keep your laundry basket from overflowing. She strongly advises you to draw a line in your basket. It’s time to put your clothing in the washer when they reach that line. When there are enough clothing to fill two-thirds of the washing machine, that’s when you draw the line. To me, this appears to be a sound strategy.

Don’t clean one room at a time.

Not one room at a time, but the entire house must be cleaned. Cleaning is considerably more efficient if you choose one chore (dusting, vacuuming, mopping) and repeat it in every area of the house, rather than cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms in that order. This way, you won’t feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cleaning cycle, repeating the same work over and over.

Sell or donate the old items to make room for the new ones.

Out with the old, in with the new. This is not only my motto, but also Nancy Haworth’s at On Task Organizing. She advises that you sell or donate your old items to create room for the new ones. Having a lot of stuff won’t get you anyplace (unless it has significant sentimental value). When it comes to the rest, Marie Kondo, a decluttering expert, advises tossing anything that doesn’t offer you joy. This is by far my preferred method of decluttering. If you want to buy a new dress, for example, you’ll need to get go of an old one to make room in your wardrobe. Similarly, if your child requests a new item, encourage them to make the same choice and donate or sell an older toy in its stead.

Sweep, Vacuum then mop.

Dust, allergies, and other particles are continually circulating in the air of a home. To stop sneezing, use a moist cloth or a microfiber duster to wipe off your surfaces, which will trap the dust. According to Sonia Alexander Hill, a Merry Maids spokesperson, no approach can remove all the dust, thus vacuuming afterward helps to eliminate any remaining filth. If you wait until the end of your cleaning process to dust, dirt particles will stay in the air and eventually land on your surfaces, necessitating a more frequent dusting.

And lastly, the best kept secret.

This is the dirty little secret that folks who keep their homes spotless don’t want you to know. They hire outside aid! *whisper* That’s all there is to it in a nutshell. While these strategies are 100 percent successful in keeping your home appearing clean and tidy at all times, it’s possible that the home owner you admire has just hired a domestic cleaner to perform the job! Gone are the days when only the wealthy and famous could afford to hire a maid. One in every three families today employs some type of home assistance in order to free up time to focus on what matters most to them!
