4 Tips to Make Cleaning Less of a Chore

Cleaning isn’t always the definition of fun. However, if you’re the type who finds yourself dragging along spending hours, if not days, getting your home in tip-top shape, allow these essential hacks to guide you into the cleaning promised land.

Bedroom
It’s no secret that our bedrooms can easily become catchalls for the items we don’t want guests to see when walking through other parts of the house. Because we are typically the only ones in this room, it’s easy to let spots like the top of the dresser collect a pile of tiny trinkets we can’t find the time to put away. To keep this area organized, gather small items like hair ties, bobby pins, and clips in small jars. Likewise, keep jewelry in a small dish to prevent a tangled mess.

Looking inside of an open washing machine

Washing machine
Because the washer is cleaning our clothes, we don’t often think of it as being one of the dirtiest spots in the house, even though this can be the case. It’s important to give your washing machine a good scrub every so often to prevent the buildup of grime that can leave your clothes feeling less than fresh. Run vinegar through a regular cycle, followed by a run with baking soda. Wipe the sides clean when you’re finished and your washer will look like new!

Bathroom
Between rushing to get out the door in the morning and wanting nothing more than to simply brush our teeth and go to bed come nighttime, our bathrooms could use a little organization and TLC. To prevent a jumbled mess and make finding what you’re looking for much easier, use small baskets and dividers in bathroom drawers to keep items like hairbrushes, hot tools, and products easily accessible. You’d be surprised the difference it makes when you don’t have to spend time searching for your essentials.

Save money—and the planet
Store-bought cleaning products can be costly, but more importantly, they are full of harsh chemicals that can be harmful not only to the environment but also to people. The solution? Make your own! You don’t have to be a DIY master for this, either. All you need for an all-purpose cleaner, for example, are some citrus peels, vinegar, and essential oils.
