Prioritize before taking action

It is useless to deny that often, when we have little time and so many things to do, we panic and start doing 10 things at the same time, the final result of which is the collapse of our nerves and, most likely, of everything we have between hands. So what is the first rule to follow when time is running out and we have to clean and sanitize the house? Establish priorities and then move on to action. Here is a list of actions to take before moving on to actual home hygiene:

  • step 1: choose the rooms to devote attention to. The choice depends on how much time you really have, which will allow you to understand whether to dedicate yourself to two rooms or to the whole house. Imagine that unexpected guests arrive and the house is not at the top, focus only on the bathroom and the room where you will welcome them, so they will have the impression that everything is perfect.
  • step 2: put in place all the things you left in a mess before starting any kind of cleaning. If you spend most of your time in the living room, you will probably have left a large amount of things there that could perfectly fit elsewhere. In short, remove everything that is in the way of cleaning and fix it in its place.
  • step 3: open the windows and ventilate. Very often, in fact, we forget to do it or we do it just to dry the floors. Instead, changing the air in the rooms is not only very important for health, but also allows us to change smells and allow the spaces to breathe, contributing at 360 ° to making that environment cleaner and more hygienic.

Use the right products to be faster and more accurate

To clean the house quickly and well, you need to choose the right products, that is, those able to satisfy both needs: to be quick and to guarantee hygiene and perfume. In essence, it is useless to surround yourself with millions of products or tools, especially when you have little time. Take products for dusting, those for washing on the ground and a product that helps you sanitize surfaces, such as multi-surface sanitizing wipes, perfect for removing germs and bacteria, grease or burnt food residues from surfaces, outside and inside the house. These wipes are also perfect for sanitizing kitchen and bathroom surfaces and even tables and chairs.
