30 Ways To Clean Your Home Faster Than You Ever Have Before

This is a product one of our readers recommends (see the review below), and it's available on Amazon, $9.55 for eight uses in a lemon scent. Over 8,900 people have rated this $17.98 combo kit of spray, wipes, and a microfiber cloth from Weiman's five stars on Amazon; you can also get two big bottles of the spray for $18.98.Microfiber cleaning cloths are nice because they don't leave fuzz behind — Amazon has a stack of 24 for $15.99 — but really a cut-up t-shirt works perfectly well, too. You can get a six-pack of the one used in the photos above from Amazon for $5.38.You can use it up to once a week or so; basically it cleans all the built-up coffee residue and oils from the brew chamber and the pour spout, which will keep your coffee tasting more like it's supposed to (especially if you switch between different coffees on a regular basis). Note that you'll still have to occasionally do the vinegar descaling process — these don't touch the water chamber or the other inner parts that get the mineral buildup from water — but you can use this along with that for for a truly deep clean.Get a pack of five from Amazon for $15.58.You just insert it down your drain, twist it a few times via the handle, let the grabby micro-hooks on the tip (similar to Velcro) do their work on the stuck, clogging hair and debris. Use it with a toilet cleaner ($11.98 for two on Amazon), and after you're done scrubbing, trap the brush under the seat so it can drip-dry into the toilet, before you put it back in the canister. Or if you want to go the waste-free route, mix up your own all-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle from this eucalyptus-scented concentrate bar, $9.49 on Amazon, and cut up a T-shirt you haven't worn in years into a few cleaning rags!No shame in using classic Windex if that's what suits you best. (This peachy shower curtain's $29 on Urban Outfitters.)This is a tip that blogger Ask Anna Moseley (who pairs the cleanser with scouring pads, like these, $2.48 for a pack of 3 on Amazon) swears by, along with several Amazon reviewers.Any version of BKF should work just fine, but some people swear the glass cooktop version does this particular task better; two bottles are $15.99 on Amazon (but if for any reason you wanted only one, you can get it for $10).Well, you'll probably need to clean it thoroughly ONCE. Get two bottles from Amazon for $10.10.They're made with 100% soy wax and an odor neutralizer and will stop your house from smelling like wet dog or cat litter, no cleaning required. Get one on Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 20 scents).Spray it NOW — or even as a very first thing when you start cleaning — because it does have to sit for 30 minutes then be blotted up. It's the first thing I noticed when I came home in the evenings, and helped me ignore whatever other little mess I had going on elsewhere in the room.Regular microfiber cloths can work perfectly fine for this — they'll attract dust like a magnet, instead of just brushing it into the air only to settle again later, the way a regular feather duster does.
