A Festive Fast Clean

Tasks & Tips to get your home sparkling, quickly & efficiently this Christmas.

With Christmas fast approaching and with lots of things do to, it’s the perfect time to share some cleaning hacks to speed up your cleaning routine! Be Christmas clean ready so you can enjoy some much deserved down time to relax and socialise during the festive period. Below are my top ten tips for a festive fast clean.

1. Minimise the time deep cleaning a room by completing quick daily tasks to keep grime at bay! In the bathroom for example, complete a quick wipe down of your shower area to help prevent soap scum & limescale build up. The Spontex Magic Effect Cloths are perfect for this as they are fast at drying surfaces with their new type of microfibre texture leaving a streak free quick shine. A 30 minute scrub is cut down to a quick minute wipe!

2. Make cleaning a group activity, a problem shared is a problem halved as they say. Encourage little ones and big ones to lend a helping hand. You could even offer to help a friend out, not only is cleaning time cut but it makes it more enjoyable too, then next time they can come round to yours.

3. When you’ve got no time to faff grab a good microfibre cloth like the Spontex Mosaik Cloths for a quick clean. Use dry or dampen with water and wipe away to remove 99% of bacteria. Keep one stashed away in the bathroom or living room for the appearance of any lastminute guests!

4. Completing tasks in multiple rooms? Gather all of your cleaning tools & products into one caddy or bag so you can easily & quickly move them from room to room with ease. No more running back & forth to the cleaning cupboard will cut down your cleaning time and also be less of a hassle.

5. Get a handle on dirt more efficiently and easily with the Spontex Dishmop! Not only is it good for quick & easy washing up, it’s also great to have some spares for a variety of different surfaces filled with your favourite cleaning product. I find it makes tasks such as cleaning tiles, windows & surrounds or oven racks so much easier and a lot more fun too.

6. Need a cuppa? Use that time it takes to boil the kettle & the time it takes to brew, as a timer to motivate you to get a task completed. Some ideas would be to put a load of washing on or wipe down the sink.

7. Conquer the clutter by having short bursts of organising. Perhaps choose one drawer, shelf or area weekly to keep on top of it. For those with children, the areas I would focus on for the lead up to Christmas are those that are used to store toys for example.

8. A washing basket isn’t just good for carrying laundry, it can also be handy for tidying up! For anything that needs to be moved to another room or upstairs, pile it in your basket to prevent trips back & forth.

9. Always use efficient tools to get the job done like the Spontex Catch & Clean Broom & Dustpan designed to be 2X more efficient than a traditional bristle broom! I love how easy it is to use on hard surfaces and carpets or rugs to sweep away every day messes or to lift hair & dust. It can easily be used under areas such as sofas or beds due to its clever handle that can be positioned at different degrees. I also love the pan which acts as a stand when not in use.

10. Pesky pet hairs you need to get rid of quickly before guests appear? Try out the Spontex Soft Hands gloves! They act like a brush on fabric surfaces to lift hair with ease. They are also lush to use for general cleaning as they are enriched with sweet almond oil to help keep your hands soft, they feel so lovely to use.
