The Lazy Approach to Easier Home Cleaning

Just how tired are you of home cleaning? It is a pretty tiresome task after a while, and the home needs constant attention. Some things there have to be touched once or twice a year, but others are subjects of daily maintenance, and how bothersome is that? But don’t feel down, there are some lazy methods – life hacks, if you will – that can make that house cleaning a simple task that barely interrupts your daily routine.


Get ready to have your mind blown: •

Use vinegar and baking soda on everything.

When you have need for stain removal, use these two cleaning products found somewhere in your kitchen. No need to rush to the store to look for specialised products, no need for special instructions. They are non-toxic, non-inflammatory, and work 99% of the time.


Use plastic food wrap when eating.

Place a sheet of plastic food wrap on the table as you devour your sandwich and don’t be concerned about how many crumbs fall down. After you are done simply scrunch the food wrap without spilling the crumbs and throw it away. No more cleaning after eating! •

Use liquid body gel when showering.

All that soap scum in your bathroom can be easily avoided if you use the simple solution of not using soap. Use liquid shower gel instead and you will have nothing but your own body to clean up. •

Eat straight from the package.

If you want to spare yourself the dish washing, just don’t use any dishes. If you are having storebought food again, eat it straight from the package or the container it comes in. You want cereal? Pour milk inside the paper bag and dig in with the spoon. Just make sure you throw out the remains before the milk starts to spill. And you won’t have to clean any cups if you drink the soda straight from the bottle. •

Use lint rollers for dusting.

Yes, surfaces usually require daily dusting, but then you have to clean the duster, and wait till the raised dust calms down, it’s all just too much. Take a lint roller and roll it over the dusty surface. They will take in all the dust and then all you have to do is throw out the outer layer.


•

Use swiffer socks for floor maintenance.

Sure, the floor needs plenty of care and maintenance because of all the dirt and dust you bring in from the outside. And you need a few pairs of those cosy swiffer socks that your grandmother kept gifting you. Put on a pair, take a few walks around the house, you can even drag your feet, if the socks are durable, and the floor cleaning is done. Throw the pair for washing, and tomorrow you can use another one. Sure beats ten minutes of vacuuming, right?


Equipped with this knowledge, you can now start living a much easier life. You practically do all the home cleaning as you go, and your daily chores are incorporated into your daily routine, so all you have to watch out for are the things that need rarer cleaning. Take care of them as well and you can live a lazy life and all the while keeping the home clean.
