Quick Tidy Routine

As Salaamu Alaikum and how is everyone  Insha Allah everyone is well and if you aren't may Allah make it so. Aamin. 
Between Monday and Friday my days are super busy, homeschooling, working, studying, and countless other things. Some days I look up and realize that the house isn't looking quite the way I would like for it to look, but who has time for cleaning when you can barely breath?
Yes this is a problem but listen ladies there is something you can do, because the reality the house has to be maintained, so I came up with a quick tidy routine that has worked for me and I promise you it is quick and the results are wonderful. I am going to share it with you all here today and insha Allah it will prove beneficial to you. 

Kitchen

·         Clear out and wipe down the sink (5 minutes).

No piles of dirty dishes! Do a quick wash, and wipe the sink with  sponge.

·         Wipe down countertops and stove (1 minute).

Clean splatters and spills with a damp cloth or sponge and an all-purpose cleanser.

·         Wipe problem spots on the floor (2 minutes).

 Quickly clean any spills or sticky spots, which will attract dirt and get more noticeable if left alone.

·         Fold or hang dish towels (30 seconds).

Even if they’re clean, a jumble of dish towels on the counter can look messy. Take a few moments to fold or hang them.

Bathroom

·         Wipe out the sink (30 seconds).

Use a washcloth, paper towel, or a product like Windex Glass and Surface Wipes, which won’t leave streaks on chrome or mirror.

·         Clean splatters off the mirror (15 seconds).

Got foamy toothpaste spray on the mirror? Do a quick swipe with the clean cloth

·         Wipe the toilet seat and rim (15 seconds).

With a soft cloth spray some clean on your toilet seat and rim and wipe down toilet

·         Swoosh the toilet bowl with a brush (15 seconds).

Spray inside and give it a quick scrub.

·         Squeegee the shower door (30 seconds).

Wipe down glass doors to remove water droplets that can cause spotting. No squeegee? Use a dry towel.

·         Spray the shower and curtain liner with a shower mist (15 seconds).

A quick spray with a daily cleanser will reduce buildup of mildew and soap scum.

Bedroom

·         Make your bed (2 minutes).

Even a fluffy down comforter pulled up over messy sheets will look polished.

·         Fold or hang clothes and put away jewelry (4 minutes).

Even better: Resist the urge to toss them somewhere in the first place! Put them away as you take them off.

·         Straighten out the night-table surface (30 seconds).

Take last night’s water glass to the kitchen, stow your reading glasses in a drawer, and straighten books or magazines.

Living Room

·         Tidy the sofa (2 minutes).

It’s likely the focus of the room, so neaten it. Fluff the pillows and fold the throws.

·         Pick up crumbs with a handheld vacuum (1 minute).

Concentrate on surfaces in plain sight: sofa cushions, coffee table, and rugs in the middle of the room. Look for dust bunnies, too.

·         Wipe tables and spot-clean cabinets where you see fingerprints (1 minute).

Use a microfiber cloth or a Swiffer cloth to pick up dust. If the surfaces are streaked or sticky, use a moist cloth.

·         Straighten coffee table books and magazines (2 minutes).

Toss old newspapers and magazines into a basket or bin made labeled specifically for them

·         Clear major clutter (5 minutes).

Stash toys, and anything else you might trip over.
