The lazy homeowner’s way of keeping the home clean!

Most daily chores are monotonous.  This is, firstly, owing to the mind-numbing repetitiveness of the action and secondly, they’re just SO PLAIN BORING!  Topping the bore chore list, would have to be Cleaning.  The next least favourite being a toss-up between ironing and doing the dishes… Cleaning, however, wins hands down.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you never had to clean again?  Not only that but wouldn’t it be just great if the one cleaning your house does a better job than you?!  Well, this exact desire shared by hundreds of Singaporeans gave birth to the numerous cleaning service agencies that have cropped up over the past 10 years.

But apart from this convenient occurrence, there are many tricks that lazy homemakers like yourself (you’re definitely not alone!), use to keep their abodes looking innocently spotless.

Here are a few well hidden secrets of lazy homemakers:

Regular spring cleaning

The more stuff you have, the more there is to maintain and clean.  So make it a habit to regularly dispose off that which you no longer require from all your rooms and cupboards.  Unlike cleaning, spring cleaning can actually be enjoyable.  It triggers lovely memories, and once you’ve thrown out a whole lot of unwanted odds and ends, you will feel much lighter and positive. A clutter free environment depicts a clutter-free mind so do try this regular exercise.

Ample storage space

One important trick to keep your place looking clean is by ensuring there is enough storage space to keep all your things so they aren’t lying around creating a mess.  Drawers are always better than cupboards since they allow you to easily find things that are kept inside, even if they are not neat and orderly.

An attractive and accessible cleaning closet

A striking set of mops, scrubbers and detergents will make you want to clean up when necessary!    Fresh lavender or lime scented products will fight the bad odours and fresh lathering ones will cover up the grit and grime when scrubbing down.  Another technique is to keep your cleaning supply close to the areas that require frequent cleaning.  If it is required to fetch cleaning paraphernalia from elsewhere, a lazy individual is less likely to take on the job and complete it!

Clean first thing in the morning

The easiest way to tackle an unwanted task is to get it over and done with: The earlier, the better. That way you don’t have the time to think and brood about it. Assign the morning hours for this chore, so you have the rest of the day to get on with other more desirable things.

Hire a reliable cleaning service

The most logical of all is to hire professionals.  A good, reliable cleaning service agency that is economical, reliable and efficient is a lazy homemaker’s best friend.  Find out about a good one in your area and willingly outsource the function to people who are meant to do the job.

Hence, though there are many tips you can utilise, one cannot completely avoid cleaning.  The good news is that you don’t have to do it yourself when you have a choice of cleaning service agencies available at your disposal.
