Empty the dishwasher.
Pop a load of washing on either first thing or set the timer so that the load will be freshly washed ready for your return from work.
Spend 20 minutes dusting the whole house – use a feather duster to flick over your light fittings and skirting boards (have a quick look for any cobwebs hanging down from the ceiling – they seem to appear from nowhere!) and then use either a damp cloth or good old polish and a duster to wipe down your surfaces.
Have a super quick tidy round and put away anything which won’t be needed for the next day.
Clean the kitchen after mealtimes – stack the dishwasher, wash the pots and pans and wipe down all the worktops.

If you then spend an hour or two each weekend deep cleaning one of your rooms, wiping out the fridge or doing the dreaded oven clean, etc, then before you know it, your home will be squeaky clean and super-organised in no time. If, however, you feel that you could really do with an extra pair of hands, then get in touch with the team at Maid2Clean, they’ll be able to help you with either your regularly weekly clean, or an adhoc deep clean at a time to suit you.
