How can I speed up cleaning my house?

Keeping your home or Airbnb clean can be overwhelming when it feels like there’s a never-ending set of tasks to complete. But, with the right cleaning approach, you can make it faster and easier every time you do it. Whether you’re balancing family life and work, or just trying to keep on top of mess, some small changes can cut down your cleaning time (and help professional cleaners!).

Here are some of the easiest ways to speed up your cleaning routine for a fresh and sparkling home.

Invest in good cleaning products and materials

Using the right cleaning tools and materials makes a huge difference to how long it takes. For example, simply switching to high-quality microfibre clothes and mop systems will reduce the time spent scrubbing surfaces and floors. Multi-surface sprays are also a good option to save you time on the number of products you need to carry around your home, while still achieving long-lasting results.

Declutter and tidy your house – everything has a place!

One of the biggest time-wasters during cleaning is moving clutter around to get to surfaces and floor spaces. But, if you give every item in your home a designated place, it results in less time picking things up before you start vacuuming or dusting. This doesn’t mean you have to invest lots of money in extra storage. Have regular decluttering sessions to create more space and scan each room when you enter it to see what’s out of place. Do you use it? Do you love it? Do you need it? If not…it’s time to give it away or sell it!

Write a house cleaning checklist for a good routine

Having a cleaning checklist ensures you stay organised and nothing gets overlooked. Break down tasks into daily, weekly and monthly jobs. For example, wiping down counters is a daily task, but vacuuming is something you should do once a week. Checklists can also help you track your progress and ensure the overall cleaning process doesn’t feel so overwhelming, breaking it down into smaller, manageable jobs.

Regular house cleaning is key

The more regularly you clean your home, the less time each session takes! Allowing dust, mess and grime to build up makes cleaning harder and longer. Quick daily habits, like wiping bathroom sinks or leaving your kitchen clean at the end of each day stops these tasks from becoming bigger later on.

Share cleaning tasks

Cleaning a home entirely yourself is too much responsibility for one person. Assign tasks out amongst your family to ensure everyone contributes. Thousands of households also hire a professional cleaner to complete particular tasks on a regular basis (like dusting, mopping floors and vacuuming). This is one of the easiest ways to stay on top of your house cleanliness.

Pets and carpets – our best cleaning tips

As much as we love our pets, these furry friends can cause havoc when it comes to carpets and flooring. Anything from paw marks and stains to pet hair and persistent odours can make maintaining carpets and rugs a challenge. That’s why it’s important to give pet-related carpet issues some special attention.

Luckily, with the right cleaning techniques and regular maintenance, you can keep your carpets looking fresh, even when you have animals at home.

Here are our best tips for maintaining your carpets and rugs around pets.

Spot clean pet accidents to prevent carpet stains

Accidents happen, especially with pets like cats and dogs in your house. When it comes to the right way to tackle carpet stains and pet accidents, always act quickly to prevent them from setting into the fibres. Begin by blotting up as much of the mess as possible with kitchen roll or a clean, dry cloth. This will absorb much of the accident, but you should then apply a carpet cleaner specifically designed to tackle pet stains, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Remove fur and hair from your carpets and rugs

Pet fur and hair build up on carpets and rugs, making them appear matted, dirty and unkept. To effectively remove fur from your flooring, use a vacuum cleaner with powerful suction and a pet hair-specific attachment or brush. Run your vacuum over the carpet in overlapping strokes, concentrating on areas where your pet spends the most time. For stubborn pet hair, consider using a carpet rake to loosen the hair first.

Stop your pet’s claws from causing carpet damage

Cats and dogs can damage carpet fibres and rugs with their claws. To prevent this issue, keep your pet’s nails trimmed to minimise scratching. You could also place area rugs or carpet runners in high-traffic areas where your pet tends to run or play. These protective coverings can absorb impact and reduce wear and tear.

Remove pet odours from carpets

Pet odours can linger in carpets and rugs, creating uninviting smells. To reduce this problem, sprinkle bicarbonate of soda liberally over the carpet and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the odours before vacuuming thoroughly to remove all traces. For persistent odours, consider using a carpet deodoriser specifically formulated for this issue. Additionally, a deep steam clean from a professional carpet cleaning company can eliminate embedded smells and bacteria.

Regularly maintain your carpets

Regular carpet maintenance is the key to keeping them fresh. Create a routine cleaning schedule that includes weekly vacuuming (or more frequently in high-traffic areas). You could also consider steam cleaning your carpets every 6 to 12 months to remove embedded dirt, fur and pet odours.
