An Easy Way To Clean Your Apartment?

Question

I would really appreciate your help, please no nasty comments, thanx.

Answer 1

For clutter that builds up the best way is to put it up as you get it. Don't leave the mail in a pile for instance. Go through it and throw away the adverts unless they are really something you use. Put all bills together, etc. For the rest, clean early in the morning. Either do one room a day or one at a time. Don't leave the room til it is done. I keep a few "cleaning bins" handy for things that go in other rooms. I put stuff for each room in a different bin. When the room you're working on is done take the bins to the correct rooms and put the stuff away. That way you don't get distracted by something in another room that needs to be done too. Do this with each room. When the apartment is clean reward yourself!

Answer 2

One recommended method is to think of each room as a clock face. Start at 12 and clean in one direction until you reach 12 again. In this way you will be organized.

Make sure you don't just move things from one area to another. Once part of your "clock" is cleaned, you can't mess it up again or this method doesn't work.

Answer 3

I love wipes. They make them for everything: bathroom, furniture, kitchen, glass, etc...). I have a wipe for every job. It is so much easier. Also, I love the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It cleans the walls, the sink, the tub, even the stove top without having to scrub.

Answer 4

Clean one room a day, then it doesn't seem so overwhelming. BUT you can't mess your other rooms back up.

When you're ready for maintenance mode, plan on picking up 2 days a week and dusting/sweeping/etc 1 day a week.

Answer 5

Hire Merry Maids.

Answer 6

The best way for me to clean my apt is start cleaning by rearranging the furniture... that way you know that every surface has been cleaned... otherwise start at the floor and move your way up!
