NEXT: How to Fake a Spotless Home with 7 Lazy Hacks
Hey, my dear readers! Are you like me—lazy but still wanting a spotless-looking home, especially when friends visit on the weekends? I’ve compiled a few quick cleaning hacks for the lazy ones among us. You can also use these tips for daily maintenance because, let’s face it, even lazy folks like to have a tidy space. 1. Wipe Down Glass Surfaces Clean your coffee table, TV screen, and mirrors. Glass shows every speck of dust and fingerprints, so a quick wipe can make a big difference. 2. Hide Clutter in Baskets Use pretty woven baskets to temporarily stash away clutter. Place a blanket over the top to disguise the mess. Straighten up pillows and decor while you're at it. 3. Clean Kitchen Counters A clean kitchen is inviting. Sweep crumbs into a small brush pan set and vacuum the stove crevices. Spray multipurpose cleaner for a fresh scent. 4. Vacuum and Tidy Corners Quickly vacuum high-traffic areas and focus on corners where dust bunnies collect. Clean the baseboards too for a polished look. 5. Speed-Clean the Bathroom Swap out towels, wipe the mirror and faucet, and clean the sink and toilet. Hide countertop clutter in the medicine cabinet. 6. Take Out the Trash Empty trash cans to prevent odors. This small step makes a big difference in maintaining a clean vibe. 7. Open Curtains and Light a Candle Natural light makes spaces look cleaner. Light a candle for a welcoming scent. Close doors to rooms you don’t need to clean. With these tips, your home will look neat and tidy in no time, leaving you more time to enjoy with your guests.
