Next, gather your cleaning supplies:
- A feather duster
- Pledge
- Windex
- Paper Towels
Make a quick plan:
- Pick up stuff then
- Start at the top
- Work your way down
Put nick nacks, picture frames, etc. in the other laundry basket, to move back into place in just a few minutes.
DUST
Dust mantels, TV's, lamps. Anything up higher than the rest.
Move to table tops, next. Dusting all the way.
POLISH and SHINE
Using Pledge for wood, Windex for glass, polish and shine the furniture tops. This is speed cleaning so do the parts that people will see. Save the rest for when you have more time!
PUT THE NICK NACKS BACK.
Now, vacuum the rug. You are DONE! Ding dong. Company's here and you're ready!

I love it! I need speed cleaning skills but especially for the kitchen. Any ideas? Thanks for visiting me at Calamity Kate's Kitchen! Cheers, Kate
ReplyDeleteThe laundry basket system can work just about anywhere. The first key, though, is to keep a clean sink. Everything else follows. Check out this post...it should help:

LOVE IT! Perfect to use - love that you came up with this!
ReplyDeleteI always love to clean past that's skill what i want.. thanks for sharing some tips to clean fast, i want to clean not just to my room but also the entire house...Do you have any ideas for this?
ReplyDeleteFormica Sheets, thanks for your comment. My suggestion would be to schedule your rooms. Depending on the size of your quarters, you may want to take a monthly calendar to do this. Write room names on different days and follow the schedule. Deep cleaning takes longer than speed cleaning. Decide how much time you can put into
ReplyDeleteFormica sheets,i have ability to cleaned past as you want, but Sinea is right you need to schedule your time. every part of your house you must put a exact time to start and time to finished. Yes deep cleaning takes longer than speed cleaning.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I really like the idea of putting everything that doesn't belong in a laundry basket and dealing with it later (after guests leave).
ReplyDeleteMe too, All Natural Katie....just beware that that basket could still be in a corner weeks later! LOL
ReplyDeleteI use the laundry basket thing almost daily to throw in all the clutter from the day. I need to work on putting what's inside away faster though.
ReplyDeleteGreat speed cleaning tips - thanks for sharing it.
Love, love, love the basket suggestion! This will prevent you from leaving the room you intended to clean to put away items you find. Keep sharing your great tips.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nazach...I will.
