If your sense of shame outweighs your desire to entertain, it might be time to step up the housework.<\/h3>\n

Piles of stuff, a smelly fridge, an oven that needs cleaning, toothpaste on the bathroom sink\u2014if this describes the way your home looks most of the time, finding a few cleaning shortcuts will definitely help you out.<\/h2>\n

It’s not necessary to spend every day engaged in heavy housework if you know and practice the cleaning tweaks recommended by the pros.<\/p>\n

Soaker Method<\/h3>\n

Spray it down and let the cleaner do the work for you. Often, allowing a cleaner five minutes to soak into a surface will save you 20 minutes of strong elbow grease. The same goes for toilet bowl cleaner when you treat the bowl before bed and swish it in the morning. For odors that just don’t want to leave, Clear the Air<\/a> products will get your house smelling fresh and clean. Placing a bag or sprinkling granules around the house will completely eliminate those stubborn smells.<\/p>\n

Make an Appointment With Yourself<\/h3>\n

If it’s clutter that has you firmly in its overwhelming grasp, make an appointment with yourself several times a week. Even 15-minute intervals provide enough time to whittle down the piles of mail, toys and dislocated items that belong in other rooms or out of your life altogether. Pencil yourself in on your desk calendar, just like you would a doctor or dental appointment. This way you’ll be more apt to honor the commitment you’ve made to a more organized home.<\/p>\n

Make Cleaning Convenient<\/h3>\n

Imagine how difficult it would be for your mechanic to fix your car without the proper tools. Mechanics have implements that make their jobs easier, such as specialty wrenches, extension arms and more. If you approach cleaning with the same mentality\u2014that it takes tools to get the job done right\u2014the task will take on a whole new energetic feel. Find the products that work best for you and make those little household jobs easier:<\/p>\n
