Domestic Goddess - Ways to speed through chores

Do you wake up in the morning and thinking about your unfinished chores ...more or less your never-ending-routine-chores? Are you getting tired with the same routine every day? Washing the dishes, cleaning the house, ironing, vacumming, cooking, pick up kids from school ..the lists will go on and on. Who ever said being a housewife is an easy job..are sooo very wrong. In spite of this, there are some tips you can follow ( it works for me) in order to hurry things up (meaning extra free time for you) and turning you into a domestic goddess in no sweat.

Helping Hand – minimise the minutes you spend going to and fro for cleaning supplies by carrying them with you. Put dusters, spray, bleach in a bucket so you have everything to hand.

Double Up – you can't dust and vacuum at the same time, but you can shower and sponging downs tile walls, fold laundry while watching your favourite soap or AF, and dust the phone while chatting to your mum.

Use the right Products – do not waste time scrubbing unnecessarily by using the wrong products. Kitchen cleaning products are acidic to cut through grease, while bathroom ones are alkaline to deal with lime scale.

Button Up – ask your family to undo buttons and zips, and turn jeans inside out before putting their dirty clothes in the laundry basket ( still need to remind my dear hubby to do this every time ..believe me it helps)

Basket Case – save yourself multiple tidying up trips by carrying a large basket from room to room, filing it as you go with everything that isn’t in its correct place.

Play a Game – when it comes to toys, it is better to get your child involvement. It’s better to teach a fisherman to fish rather than giving it to them. Play a tidying game like who can put the bricks faster back in the box. It may takes some time to clear all the toys but in the long run your child will be able to tidy up their toys without your help!

End of the Day Clean Up - as for me this last tip really make my life easier for the next day. Although I feel tired or worn-out at the end of the day, I try not to go to sleep before i finish clearing up the living room and the kitchen. So that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will have a good start!

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
