There are certain techniques, secrets if you will, on how to get your house clean fairly fast relatively speaking. Some of these secrets you can use in almost every room, apply what you learn here and that's that! Using these secrets to clean your house fast will result in you spending more time doing the things that you really need or want to do.
First things first, when it comes to dusting you want to have all the tricks of the trade with you and handy to be used when you need them. Th equipment you'll need here are a feather duster, lambs wool duster, and many cleaning cloths.
The secret to dusting is to always start at the top corner and work your way out and down. Go around the room in a circle making sure to hit everything. If you are right handed, dust the room in a clockwise rotation and if your left handed go counterclockwise. This will save you time and you will find it much easier.
Window cleaning is a chore that needs to be done as well and there are tricks to make this job faster and also more effectively. Many people use Windex and paper towels or a cloth to clean all of their windows. Others use vinegar and newspaper.
The problems I see with these methods are as follows: First when you rub your windows, all your doing is spreading the dirt from one spot to another. You may not be aware that when you rub, you also are creating a static charge that is going to do nothing else but attract more dirt and more debris. So in that sense, the windows are just going to get dirty again shortly after you wash them.
The best way and probably the fastest way to clean your windows is with a squeegee. This is exactly what the professional window washers use when they do their job, and don't you think they need to rely on speed and cleanliness to get paid? You betcha they do!
Grab a bucket of warm water with some dish washing liquid mixed in. Squirt some of this mixture onto the windows and then take the squeegee, start at the top corner and squeegee your way down in a backwards "s" pattern. When you pick up the squeegee, be sure to wipe it off with a clean lint-free rag. Finish off the remaining water with a damp chamois and then dry the window with a clean rag.
