What’s in it for me? Turn dreaded household tasks into an enjoyable pastime.

Do you let the dust bunnies pile up for weeks on end until you can’t procrastinate any longer? Do you feel like cleaning up means you have to tackle your entire home at once?

Well, Mrs. Hinch is here to tell you there’s a better way. With some simple tips, you’ll find that cleaning doesn’t have to be the bane of your existence. With a little help and change of perspective, you may even find a little joy in housework.

After all, who wouldn’t like to come home to a place that is clean and pleasant smelling? With these tips, you’ll be on your way to waking up or coming home to a serene and welcoming haven. And isn’t that what your home should always be?

In these blinks, you’ll find out

why you should never underestimate the cleaning power of baking soda;
how to treat your drains before they start clogging; and
what to do next time you spill wine.

Avoid boredom and stress when cleaning and use to-do lists to stay motivated.

Do you find cleaning an irksome or tedious chore that should be avoided whenever possible? If this is the case, it may be due to the way you approach the job at hand. If you treat cleaning as a mindless routine where you vacuum every Friday and clean the bathroom every Saturday, then it’s bound to become a dull slog.

So why not make it more interesting by turning each housework session into a unique experience?

The best way to approach cleaning is to start with a tour of your house or apartment to spot the areas that need the most attention. When you’re cleaning on autopilot, certain areas can easily get neglected. But when you start with an attentive scan of your surroundings, you’ll be cleaning the areas that really need it while avoiding the mind-numbing drudgery of a routine.

Doing regular inspections will also make you aware of which tasks need daily attention, such as mopping up around the kitchen sink and stove; which tasks can be taken care of on a weekly basis, such as deep cleaning the bathroom; and which tasks can be completed on a monthly basis, like wiping down your fridge.

While you’re at it, don’t bend over backward to make things look perfect. Cleaning can be a soothing and enjoyable activity so long as you take your time and relax.

What can really help is to have a focused to-do list. So when you’re giving your surroundings a close inspection, simply jot down the areas that require attention in the form of a list that you can work through item by item.

There are several benefits to making a list, not least of which is that it can turn a seemingly overwhelming job into something manageable. Oftentimes, we put off cleaning because we don’t know where to begin. With a list, you not only recognize where to start but also see that there really aren’t that many tasks involved after all.

Plus, there’s the priceless satisfaction of being able to cross an item off the list once you’ve accomplished it.

But perhaps most helpful of all is the flexibility that comes with a to-do list. Now, whenever you find yourself with a few minutes of downtime or a whole afternoon to spare, you can check the list and find a task that fits your schedule. This way, you can keep your cleaning momentum going and make sure nothing gets neglected.

When cleaning your bathroom, start with the bathtub and then move to the toilet.

If you have trouble working up the motivation, just imagine how much nicer and calmer it will be to spend your free time in rooms that are clean and orderly. Of course, everyone prefers bathrooms that are shiny and pleasant smelling rather than grimy and stinky. So let’s go ahead and start with some tips on how to get your bathroom spick-and-span.

The best way to tackle this room is to begin with the bathtub. So get things started by getting all the surfaces clear of soaps, soap dishes, shampoos, towels and any other products that might get in the way of a thorough cleaning.

Spruce up your kitchen by cleaning your fridge and creating an inviting space for your cleaning products.

Let’s continue our full house cleansing by moving on to the kitchen, a room with no shortage of surfaces and crevasses in need of de-griming. But for now, let’s focus on one of those tricky areas that we tend to put off – the fridge.

Before you start, turn down the temperature in your fridge to avoid wasting energy. Then, empty out your fridge completely. Next, go through everything and throw away the items that have far surpassed their sell-by-date. This step alone will be a major improvement.

Tend to your drains with regular cleanings and be sure to treat your laundry with care.

Like your refrigerator, the drains of your kitchen and bathroom sinks and your bathtub are easily neglected until they become a big stinky problem. Everything might seem fine until the moment your drain clogs up, and you’re dealing with standing water and bad smells.

To avoid this, you’ll want to take preventative action by cleaning your drains at least once a month.

Improve your sleep by refreshing your mattress and developing an evening cleaning routine.

It’s important to get a good night’s sleep, so many of us are always on the lookout for how to improve our eight hours of nightly shut-eye. Yet few people will think about one of the most obvious ways to improve the sleep experience: making sure your bed is clean.

Step number one is to strip your bed of all sheets and blankets and give your mattress a good vacuuming. Try to be as thorough as you can since this is intended to vacuum up all the dust and dead skin cells that have accumulated over time.

Take the time to clean your couch and make it cozy.

The couch is a main attraction in many homes. You may be sitting on one right now! But here’s a question: When’s the last time you cleaned it?

Let’s face it; couches can collect a lot of crumbs, spills and worse. And since they’re a central part of most living rooms, it’s wise to keep them clean.

For some final touches to your home, clean your rugs and spruce up your lanterns.

Nothing can ruin an otherwise perfect room quite like a dirty rug. And nothing can brighten up a room quite like a perfectly clean rug. In fact, having clean rugs in your home is so important that it was one of the first things the author posted about on Facebook.

You may think that getting your carpet clean would be a huge chore, but it’s actually a rather straightforward process, especially if you’ve already cleaned your couch. The modus operandi is basically the same.

There are many ways to get rid of stains and treat smells with the right products.

At this point, you may be thinking, “What about that stain on my carpet, couch or clothes that won’t go away no matter how much scrubbing I do?” Well, the author knows your pain.

Stains are indeed the worst, but don’t go throwing things away just yet as there are many tips for getting rid of even the most stubborn stains.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
