I am pretty sure that the party last night was amazing. This morning, however, is something you probably do not wish to talk about. In the light of day it is easy to come to the conclusion that the bigger the party the tougher the cleaning.
Regardless whether you had a couple of guests over for a dine and wine, or you had friends over to watch the big game, the morning after brings your spirit down with piles of dirty dishes and so much more. Piles of piles of plates and glasses, stains on the carpet, stained table covers, scratches on the floor, napkins under the table and God knows what more…
The situation, however, can be handled. There is a way to deal even with a problem of that caliber. As most good solutions, it is the fastest and easiest.
First of all, put all the dishes together, sort them and put them in the washing machine. Now you can start thinking you a jack of all traits – doing multiple tasks at the same time. Even climbing mount Everest takes a first step to begin with, so do not get scared of the upcoming work – the sooner you get down to it, the sooner it will all be over.
Play some energizing music. Take all you need for the cleaning process with you – put all the brushes, spraying bottles and all that in a bucket or a basket. You should not stop the whole process to search for a cleaning product or a tool, as this is nothing but a waste of time. Your mobile set should be well stacked with rags and cleaners.
When you walk in a room to clean it, set an alarm to go off in fifteen minutes and do not walk out before you are done with the cleaning. Hurry up! This will help you get focused on the tasks and deal with them faster. Speed, not style, is what matters in this particular case.
It really doesn’t matter where you start from, what is important is to stay focused on the task at hand. However, it is recommended to work your way counter clockwise around the house. Split the cleaning into small portions of work that will be easier to complete. Do the small tasks one by one. Do not move on before completing the first one.
You do not need a basin of dirty water. Take a spraying bottle in one hand, and a rag in the other. Spray and rinse – that’s all you need to do.
The faster, the better. You do not have to clean everything to perfection the first time around the home. You can always get back for some touch-ups.
