How to clean the house quickly: the most effective methods

Cleaning is not a pleasant chore, so it is natural that you want to save as much time as possible without sacrificing efficiency. After all, a clean and organized living space can benefit your physical and mental health, productivity, time management, and comfort.

It's important to remember that there is no right approach to cleaning your home. However, experts have shared the most effective methods that will definitely come in handy.

Regular cleaning of surfaces will help to avoid allergens, germs, and the accumulation of fungal spores. There are several approaches to cleaning. Your choice, of course, will depend on your personal preferences, free time, lifestyle, and specific needs. You can even combine some of these approaches to create a method that works best for you.

Daily cleaning

This approach involves completing small tasks on a daily basis to keep your home tidy and organized. Daily tasks can include making beds, washing dishes, wiping down kitchen countertops, and taking out the trash.

Zone cleaning

"The best way to clean your home efficiently is to choose a different room for different days of the week," Karen Lee, a cleaning specialist and founder of Smart Robotic Home.

Zone cleaning divides your home into different zones, and when you clean, you focus on one zone at a time. For example, you can designate Monday to the kitchen, Tuesday to the living room, and so on. This approach ensures that each room gets thorough attention.

KonMari method

Marie Kondo has developed a cleaning method that combines functionality and pleasure. The expert advises to consider the process of putting your home in order not as an unpleasant routine or duty but as a kind of therapy that calms and organizes your thoughts. According to her, things carry a certain energy. This energy does not come from nowhere: we "charge" our clothes with it. Therefore, the first thing to do is to get rid of unnecessary extra things that do not bring pleasure and only take up space in the closet.

FlyLady method

The FlyLady cleaning method emphasizes "breaking down" cleaning tasks into smaller, easier steps. It encourages you to use a timer to clean for a set period of time and then take short breaks.

Seasonal cleaning

Seasonal cleaning involves deep cleaning and organizing your home at certain times of the year, such as spring or fall. This approach often includes tasks such as washing windows, cleaning carpets, and redecorating.

Minimalist cleaning

The minimalist method focuses not only on cleaning but also on decluttering the home to make the process easier and more efficient. It involves getting tid of things and maintaining a minimalist living space.

Quick cleaning

This method is about completing cleaning tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. For example, the process involves using cleaning checklists, optimizing tools, and minimizing distractions to save time.

Total Clean Method

The method is based on cleaning the entire house with each cleaning, not just one room at a time. Cleaning becomes much more efficient if you choose one task, such as dusting or mopping, and perform the same task in every room of the house.

Cleaning tables

Creating task tables and assigning cleaning tasks to family members can help distribute the cleaning workload and make sure everyone is doing their part to keep the house clean.
