Top Tips for a Sparkling Clean Home

Let’s face it, cleaning can feel like a daunting task. But with the right approach, it can become a manageable and even enjoyable chore – a crazy concept…right!

Here are some top tips the suki. team has discovered/used to help make cleaning around the home a breeze.
  1. Break it Down
  • Don’t try to tackle the entire house at once – break down cleaning into smaller, more manageable tasks. For example, focus on one room per day or dedicate 15 minutes to a quick tidy-up each evening.
  1. The “Two-Minute Rule”
  • If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small messes from piling up and becoming bigger problems later.
  1. Declutter Regularly
  • A clutter-free home is easier to clean. Regularly declutter surfaces, drawers, and closets to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating.
  1. Make Cleaning Fun
  • Put on some upbeat music to create a more enjoyable cleaning atmosphere.
  • Turn cleaning into a game – challenge yourself to clean as quickly as possible or reward yourself with a treat after completing a cleaning task.
  1. Utilise Cleaning Tools Effectively
  • Invest in quality cleaning products – choose effective and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions.
  • Microfiber cloths are your friend – they are incredibly effective at trapping dust and dirt.
  • Use the right tools for the job – a good vacuum cleaner, mop, and duster can make a big difference.
  1. Don’t Forget the Often-Overlooked Areas
  • Clean behind furniture – dust and vacuum behind sofas, chairs, and other large pieces of furniture.
  • Don’t neglect the tops of door frames and light fixtures – easy to forget!
  • Clean your cleaning tools – make sure your sponges, mops, and brushes are clean to prevent the spread of germs.
  1. Schedule Regular Cleaning Sessions
  • Establish a regular cleaning schedule that works for your household. This could include weekly deep cleans, daily quick tidies, or a combination of both.
  • Involve everyone in the house!
  1. Reward Yourself & Your Cleaning Partners
  • Celebrate accomplishments! After admiring the good work & enjoying the amazing feeling of a sparkling space(s), treat yourself/everyone to a small reward after a successful cleaning session.

Keeping your home clean doesn’t always require expensive cleaning products. In fact, some of the most effective cleaning solutions can be found in your pantry!

We’ve discovered some surprising remedies that seem to work (be sure to test small patches before going crazy cleaning!).

Vinegar for Sparkling Glassware

Do you have cloudy drinking glasses? Try this remedy.

Mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water in a basin and soak the glassware for 15-20 minutes. The vinegar cuts through mineral deposits, leaving your glasses crystal clear. Rinse with clean water and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Baking Soda for Deodorising Carpets

To freshen up your carpets, sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over the surface. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly. Baking soda absorbs odours and can leave your carpets smelling clean and fresh.

Coffee Grounds for Eliminating Fridge Odours

Don’t toss those used coffee grounds! Place them in a bowl and leave it in your fridge to neutralise unpleasant smells. Coffee grounds can be used as a natural deodoriser, absorbing unwanted odours without adding any artificial scents.

Olive Oil for Polishing Stainless Steel

For streak-free stainless steel, try dabbing (& just a dab!) a small amount of olive oil onto a microfiber cloth and gently buff the surface. Not only will it remove fingerprints and smudges, but it will also add a beautiful shine.

Wrapping Up…

Who doesn’t enjoy being in a sparkling clean home – it’s good for the soul and for your health.  Finding the motivation and time is the challenge!

We hope these tips & tricks help give you inspiration and some practical ideas on how to conquer (& dare we say…enjoy) the cleaning challenge.
