3. Collect pet hair
Put on rubber gloves and wet them. Run your hand over upholstery, cushions, and clothing. Wool will easily stick to wet rubber, and all you have to do is rinse it off.
4. Wipe dust off the baseboards
This can be done without even bending over. Put on old sock, spray it with a cleaner or water and wipe the baseboards with your foot.
5. Clean your gadgets
Remote control, smartphone, computer keyboard are sources of dirt and bacteria. Get rid of them with antibacterial wipes. The devices will be more pleasant and safer to use.
6. Refresh your shades
Soak a cloth with water and a drop of detergent and wipe down all shades and chandeliers. If you have more than five minutes left, wipe off and light bulbs (unscrew them first). In the evening, you will notice that the lights in the room have become brighter.
7. Put everything you can in the dishwasher
Plastic, glass, metal and even some wardrobe items - many items do not need to be cleaned by hand. For example, in the dishwasher it is easy to bring back a fresh look to beach slippers and baseball caps, not to mention toys for children and pets, combs, shades, silicone baking dishes and kitchen sponges.
Collect all items that have not been cleaned for a long time (or never) and put them in the dishwasher. Start a normal wash cycle.
