Setting a timer, be it a SmartWatch, heating food in microwave, cooking toast, running quick load on dishwasher…speedcleaning is a great way to get things done!

Focusing on simple, repetitive or similar tasks is the key. Nothing that requires extra thought.

Ie: whilst defrosting meat for dinner, grab a basket of wet laundry & hang as much as you can…or aim to load all dirty dishes into dishwasher & wash anything else…or pickup all the toys in lounge, & wipe all surfaces…or heck, all three!

If I’ve been away from home, busy or unwell and the housework has gotten on top of me…speedcleaning is a great way for me to get back on track and feel motivated again.

I set an activity to keep my boys occupied, and using my SmartWatch, I run 5 – 10 minute timers per room followed by a quick zip around with my Dyson V10. Whilst this doesn’t get a room perfect by any means, it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished enough to not be embarrassed if visitors come by unexpectedly, and not feel so overwhelmed.

Simply making a bed, tidying books and clutter, removing any rubbish and giving surfaces a quick dust/wipe makes a huge difference to a bedroom! Or wiping over basin, mirror and bath, picking up any floor mats, and tidying toothbrushes etc makes a bathroom look much better!

The more you speedclean, the faster & more efficient you will become!

It may sound strange…but often life is so chaotic & stressful…and so much I cannot control…somehow speedcleaning allows me to calm my mind & focus on tasks in front of me.

Speedcleaning saves my sanity.
