Let’s be honest, between work, errands, and everything in between, finding time to clean can feel impossible. But what if we told you that even 5 minutes can make a difference? Whether you’re expecting guests or just want to feel a little more in control of your space, these fast home cleaning tips will help you tidy up quickly without the stress.
1. Wipe down your kitchen counters
Grab a multipurpose spray and a clean cloth. In just a few swipes, you can remove crumbs, stains, and sticky spots. Don’t forget high-touch areas like cupboard handles and appliance surfaces, small details that make a big impact.
2. Make your bed, properly.
It’s a simple task that instantly makes your bedroom look and feel more put together. In two minutes, you can:
- Fluff the pillows and align the shams.
- Straighten your duvet or comforter.
- Tuck in any stray sheets.
It’s amazing how this task can instantly elevate your space, and your mood.
3. Clear & wipe your bathroom sink.
Remove used products, rinse the sink bowl, and quickly wipe down the faucet and countertop. If you’ve got a microfibre cloth handy, this can take less than 5 minutes and leaves your bathroom looking freshly cleaned.
4. Declutter one surface
Pick one hotspot, maybe your coffee table, desk, or hallway shelf—and spend a focused 5 minutes clearing away items that don’t belong. Put things back in place, toss what’s not needed, and do a quick dusting while you’re at it. This focused task is a core concept of declutter one surface.
5. Empty the bin
It sounds basic, but overflowing bins can make your space feel messier than it actually is. Take out the trash, replace the liner, and give the bin lid a quick wipe. It’s one of the fastest ways to freshen up your kitchen or bathroom.
