Set a 15 minute timer and get as much as you can done in that time. Daily decluttering and tidying goes a long way in keeping the overall state of your home clean. It can seem like an overwhelming task at the end of a long day, but you will be shocked by how quickly the time goes, and much you can achieve in 15 minutes!
Do a load of washing everyday, or every second day. Washing is one of those tasks that simply never goes away. Doing a few loads throughout the week is a great way to ensure it doesn’t get to an unmanageable state.

Nowadays there are many products and tools available to simplify cleaning. We compiled a list of ‘Cleaning Equipment to Change Your Life‘ which you might find useful. Things like robot vacuums you can set to run while you are out, spray mops to tidy up minor spills and magic erasers to remove stubborn marks.
