From recruiting your children to get the job done faster to dusting before you take the vacuum cleaner over the carpet, there are plenty of tips and tricks to make your life easier.

Tidy first

Put everything away and in place, so that you can clean surfaces, furniture and floors thoroughly.

Make up a kit for the bathroom

The cleaning products you use for the rest of the house are likely to be the same. Bathrooms (and to the same extent kitchens) need separate products though. If you keep them altogether and store them in the bathrooms, life is 100 percent easier as we at house cleaning Arlington know so well.

Invest in toy chests

Toy chests make an incredible difference. At the end of the day, get the children into a routine of putting away all their toys and games. This builds good habits for the future and takes the burden off you.

Set the rules

Talking of good habits, make one that whoever takes an item out of a cupboard or fridge must return it as soon as they have used or finished with the item. Regular sort outs of kitchen cupboards reduce the risk of opened jars and packets lurking in the back and opening the door to neatly stocked cupboards is satisfying too.

Reevaluate newspaper and magazine subscriptions

The easiest way to declutter your house is not to have piles of newspapers and magazines. Nowadays, many of them have digital subscriptions instead. Why not invest in them?

Use microfiber cloths

Specialist products such as microfiber cloths making dusting much easier and will not leave tell-tale smears. Dust and polish before vacuuming as the activity will cause debris to fall on the floor.

Find baskets for your make-up and toiletries

In the bathroom and bedroom, use a basket to stock your make-up and incase as this will instantly make the rooms look neater.

Store all your cleaning products in a bucket

That way they can be carried from room to room as required.
