Keeping the house clean and tidy is a real commitment. It might seem trivial, but managing an entire home independently requires method and patience.  But despite our best intentions and good will, time to clean the house is always scarce! Follow our tips to save time on cleaning.  

Start with small good habits

Have you ever thought that the best way to clean is not to make a mess in the first place? That's precisely why having small but good habits that lead you to reduce clutter and dirt will make cleaning even easier and faster. For example, wipe down the shower with a microfiber cloth every time you use it to immediately remove water and limescale residue from the glass, immediately collect crumbs after you finish eating, make the bed in the morning before leaving, and put away the clothes you've worn in the closet each time, to avoid creating huge piles of garments. And then, take off your shoes before entering the house: did you know that 75% of dirt comes from footwear? So, the first secret to always having a tidy house is not to procrastinate. Ideally, you should dedicate about 20 minutes a day to basic cleaning, such as wiping down the sink and fixtures in the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen countertop and stovetop, and immediately putting away all the items we've used during the day in their proper place when we no longer need them. For daily cleaning, therefore, a multi-purpose cleaner is ideal: practical and quick, it allows you to achieve immediate cleanliness and sanitize your spaces daily.  

Create your routine

The ideal way to save time on cleaning is to create your own routine and start adopting tidiness as a lifestyle. There are truly many aspects to manage in a home. In addition to actually cleaning the rooms, you need to consider laundry, dishwashing, garbage, and the need to air out the spaces. That's why defining a method and bringing order to the various needs will make everything easier. For example, you could get into the habit of opening the windows as soon as you wake up and, before closing them, making the bed before leaving the house. The washing machine, on the other hand, could be done in the evening, so you can hang out the wet clothes before going to bed. Regarding plates and dishes, it would be good to clean them as soon as they are used or put them directly into the dishwasher. Then, set aside a couple of fixed hours a week for more thorough cleaning, such as the floors, windows, or the entire bathroom. Having a regular appointment with cleaning your house will help you create a more orderly and balanced lifestyle.   Saving time on house cleaning is possible, but it requires consistency and an initial effort to successfully integrate small, good habits into our daily lives.  

Stains, spots, and dust—just how much do our windows at home torment us? Whether it’s the windows, shower glass, or mirrors in the bathroom or living room, having crystal-clear, streak-free glass is always a point of pride. Let’s take a look at the best ways to care for our glass—and what mistakes to steer clear of.

Various ways to clean glass

No single method guarantees streak-free glass—different people swear by different tricks. Some rely on ammonia, others on alcohol, and some on baking soda. While all three solutions work wonders, who has the patience to measure the perfect water-to-cleaner ratio every time?  

Cleaning tablets: are they as practical as they are effective? 

  To solve this problem while achieving the same results and benefits, you can try our cleaning tablets. These compact pods contain all the necessary ingredients to degrease, loosen dirt particles, and clean surfaces—simply dissolve them in water inside a spray bottle. This way, you get the convenience of a ready-to-use cleaner without the hassle of bulky buckets of water or messy splashes. Plus, you’ll appreciate the compact size and lightweight nature of a tablet compared to traditional liquid detergents.  

Tips for Optimal Cleaning

Regardless of which cleaning products you use, here's how to get the best results—and what mistakes to avoid. While there's no strict rule for how often to clean windows, timing is key. Always clean when the glass is cool and out of direct sunlight. Heat makes cleaning solutions dry too fast, leaving behind streaks and stubborn spots. Another crucial factor is choosing the right cleaning cloth. The best option is definitely a microfiber cloth, though a cotton rag can also work well. Avoid harsh or abrasive sponges at all costs - they can scratch the glass surface. After applying cleaner with your cloth, dry the glass with either: ✔ A dry microfiber cloth ✔ Newspaper (yes, you read that right!) Why newspaper? The trace amounts of lead in newsprint help remove residual particles for a flawless finish. Avoid paper towels though - they tend to leave lint and streaks behind. Spotless windows are absolutely achievable! It just takes: 🔹 The right techniques 🔹 Quality products 🔹 A little patience

Living with other people in the same house has its positive and negative sides. Whether they're family members, friends, or simply roommates, cohabitation is based on mutual respect and the division of spaces and chores - including cleaning. Specifically, sharing household cleaning duties with those we live with could become a bonding activity for couples or groups of friends, while for families it might be a good opportunity to spend time together and help each other. To make this work though, you need the right approach - divide tasks fairly and make the whole process as fun as possible!  

To each their own task

  Divide household chores among everyone in the home to better organize both regular and daily cleaning tasks. This approach will also cut the effort and hard work required for housekeeping in half. Plus, everyone will know exactly what to do and when—making them both helpful to others and more at ease themselves. Some people prefer routine tasks like washing dishes, loading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, or setting the table. Others are better suited for jobs that require more attention and precision, such as cleaning the bathroom, windows, or floors—or even ironing. The key is that everyone has a role to play in keeping the home clean and tidy.  

Build a real dream team!

  Shifting your mindset about household chores will help you tackle them with more ease—and most importantly, convince those you live with to pitch in. Cleaning shouldn’t feel like a burden, but like an act of care for your shared space. Treat it as a team effort where everyone—yes, even kids—plays a vital role. If you have children, get them involved with age-appropriate tasks: tidying toys, caring for pets, making their bed, setting the table. No matter the age, a united group working together makes the goal—a fresh, clean home—easier and far less stressful to achieve!  

Blasting the music

  Music is the ultimate secret weapon to make cleaning more fun and upbeat. Let’s be honest—even with fairly divided chores, cleaning together isn’t always smooth sailing. But why not try a game-changer? Cue the perfect playlist, turn the volume up loud, and turn chores into a dance party! Sing at the top of your lungs, bust out some moves while you scrub, and watch the time fly by. Suddenly, cleaning doesn’t feel like work at all. Cleaning together is the ultimate team sport – it takes organization, clear roles, and timing, but the result is way more fun and carefree!
