Running out of time is so common for housewives! People think housewives have a lot of time to finish all the home cleaning but actually it is not. It takes time for every piece of house cleaning jobs to be done and housewives often get running out of time. How to clean your house in a most effective and efficient manner in order to make your house clean, I mean look clean?

Living room

Living room is the first area to clean as when people come into your house, they first get the chance to look at your living room. Living room is the area with most of the big furniture. You probably have no movement for the big furniture, so what you need to do is to care about all the small things to make it tidy. See the house cleaning checklist for living room:

• Magazines and books are the most common small things, when you have no time, just pile them up. All the paper stuff in 1-2 piles make the living room looks much tidier. If there are too many piles, you may wish to put the thick ones onto book shelves.

• Other small things, if you have them, put them back to their originally position, if not, pick a basket and hold them all, then put the basket into the cupboard.

• Windows may be dirty and curtain is your best help. Pull the curtain to cover all the dirt on the windows. If you find your curtain a bit dusty, you can also use sticky tape (see below) or duster to help.

• If you do not have time to do vacuum cleaning, I actually discovered one quick method to remove most of the visible hair, dust and small particles on the carpet. Get the sticky tape ready. Better to choose those wide and stickier ones. You may also find some of them with handle which and roll. Stick the tape onto the carpet, press with your hands, then pull u p. Repeat and you will find most of the visible hair, dust and small particles go away.

• If you find stains on your sofa, you probably have no time to clean it. What you can do is to use cushion to cover the stain. Put more cushion randomly or put most of the cushion on the side with stain.

When you have time, you can do a serious cleaning by yourself for or even hire the house cleaning service. But what if your guest or husband is coming in 1-2 hours? Cleaning house with the above tips really make your house loo

Before the Second World War, people used cleaners that are derived from plants and coconut oil was one of the very common ingredients for soap. Afterwards, plant based cleaners have been substituted by fuel oil and chemical products. Though some of the everyday routine can be done more quickly by the fuel oil and chemicals, living environment and more importantly our health are continuously harmed.

To be environmentally friendly and good to your health, the first action you should take is to use natural cleaners or organic cleaners for your house cleaning. Though it is cheaper and healthier to use natural or organic cleaner for household cleaning, you have to pay attention to the following house cleaning tips.

(i)                 Natural or organic cleaner’s dirt removal action is not as quick as chemicals or chemical cleaning products. Usually, you may need to wash over for several times with more power. Of course, for delicate material or stuff, you may wish to wash several times instead of using the power. Though it consumes you a little bit more time, it is certainly worthy to do that.

(ii)               When you have decided to make your cleaner natural, do not try to change your cleaning products to natural ones all at once as you may feel pressure. Start to change step by step, maybe from kitchen to bathroom to living room…after several weeks, gather your experience, and you will find it much easier to spread this idea throughout your home and every part of your home cleaning.

(iii)             Though unlike ordinary household cleaner, natural cleaner is non-toxic and much safer to use. But surely you will not your children to reach the cleaner when you have perfectly mixed them. It is better to put the natural cleaners that you have made into some kind of bottle that is easily distinguished by children that they are cleaners. You should also put clear note and sign on such bottles. Never try to beverages or food container to contain the natural cleaners. Though as I mention the cleaners are non-toxic, but certainly you will not want your children drink or eat any of these natural cleaners.

(iv)              It is so common that when you started to change your cleaning products to natural ones, you will find some of the chemicals left unused. You do not want to throw them away, so you are thinking of mix the chemicals with the natural cleaners. Do not ever try to do this as this not only reduce the cleaning power of the cleaner, but also produce an even more toxic product.

Start to enjoy the benefit of natural cleaners from following the household cleaning tips!
