Clean Every Room In Your House in Just 15 Minutes With This 'Genius' Hack

Entrance

Marla has broken up each area of the home into a particular zone and from there, gives us an indication of the types of areas we should be focusing on with our fifteen-minute time limit. The entryway of your home – arguably the most neglected area – is a chance to set the tone of your entire place and project an uplifting vibe.

Marla's whole purpose is to stop you from feeling ashamed when you answer the door or have friends over, so her tips are designed to give you quick wins that'll make you feel good. The aim is to declutter the area as much as possible but not beat yourself up for not leaving it sparkling clean. So, focus on putting shoes away, stashing bills and documents in a drawer and tidy bags that may have accumulated on the floor. After fifteen minutes, give yourself a five-minute breather and move on.

These are a few other things to make your way through at your own pace:

• Dust furniture.
• Wipe down the door handle.
• Sweep, vacuum, or mop the floor.
• Add your own personal touches to make it more welcoming.

Kitchen

We don't know about you, but it seems like every time I clean the kitchen it returns to its usual state in just a few hours. For those of us who aren't keen on spending an entire afternoon reorganising the whole room, this clever method tells us to simply focus on one specific area for now. For example, turn your attention to your kitchen sink and empty everything out, fill it up with soapy water and wash any dishes you have then give the taps and sink itself a good wipe down.

After that, some things to pay attention to over the month include:

• Empty fridge and clean thoroughly.
• Clean microwave inside and out.
• Clean stove/oven.
• Wipe fingerprints off walls.
• Wash inside windows.
• Clean fan/vent-a-hood filters and hood.
