10 Minutes: Kitchen Patrol

Refresh the Refrigerator Front: Quickly wipe down the refrigerator door handles and the front surfaces. These spots accumulate fingerprints, making the whole kitchen feel grubby if not kept clean.
Microwave Makeover: Wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth. Heat a bowl of water and lemon juice for stubborn spots for a minute, then let it steam to loosen the grime.
Rapid Pantry Tidy: Take a minute to straighten any items misplaced in your pantry or cupboards. A well-organised pantry makes cooking and snacking decisions quicker and easier.

10 Minutes: Bathroom Blitz

Toilet Top to Bottom: Use a disinfectant to give the entire toilet a once-over, not just the bowl. Hit the flush handle, the top, and the base where dust can settle.
Clear the Counters: Quickly clear off the countertops and wipe them down. Return only the essentials, and stash the rest for a decluttered look.
Freshen Up the Fabrics: Shake out the bathroom rugs and hang them to air. Replace towels with fresh ones if necessary.

10 Minutes: Living Room Hustle

Pillow Plumping: Straighten and fluff up sofa cushions and pillows. It's a slight touch that makes the whole room look cared for.
Quick Mag and Remote Roundup: Gather any magazines, remotes, or small items and return them to their designated spots.
Speedy Surface Sweep: Using a microfiber cloth, quickly dust all surfaces, starting from one end of the room to the other, to avoid missing any spots.

5 Minutes: Entryway Inspection

Shoe Sort: Line up shoes or place them in a designated basket or rack.
Jacket Jog: Hang any jackets or accessories left out onto hooks or hangers.
Welcome Mat Whisk: Give the welcome mat a quick shake outside to eliminate debris.

5 Minutes: Bedroom Brief

Bed Beautification: Make the bed if it isn't already, as a made bed instantly makes any bedroom look neater.
Clothes Collection: Scoop up clothes and put them in the laundry basket or the closet.

Last Minute: Aroma Therapy

Freshen the Air: At the last minute, light a scented candle or use a room spray to give your home a fresh, clean scent.

Celebrate Your Sprint!

Take a moment to enjoy the order you've created. This quick clean isn't just about tidiness; it's about creating a space to relax and recharge.

Extra Tips for Maintaining the Clean:

Delegate: If you're not flying solo, assign a task to each family member. Even little ones can help with simple tasks like putting toys away.
Accessory Station: Keep a basket or tray near the main areas for commonly used items like keys, mail, and sunglasses so they always have a home.
Nightly Reset: Spend 5 minutes before bed doing a quick sweep of the rooms to put things back in their place. It makes morning routines smoother.

Tailoring the 30-minute Clean Routine to Your Lifestyle

Whether you're a busy professional or treasure minimalism, 'The 30-Minute Clean Sweep' can be customised to fit your lifestyle. Here's how:

Busy Professionals:

Identify cleaning activities that give the most bang for your buck or organise a weekly cleaning service if you do not want to spend your days off cleaning your home. Tidying up the living room or a quick bathroom refresh can make a big difference, and getting their home cleaned regularly is the primary choice of most hustlers out there.

Working from Home

Desk Zen: Regularly tidy your workspace to boost productivity and minimise stress.
Cleaning in Breaks: Take short breaks for quick cleaning tasks like dusting your desk or organising work files and your mind.
Shared Living Spaces (Roommates/Flatmates):
Create a fair schedule that rotates chores, ensuring everyone contributes.
Use apps to schedule your weekly household chores and keep track of your shared responsibilities with your flatmates every week. Grocery shopping, laundry, or dishwashing- what's on your plate this week?
Frequently schedule decluttering sessions to keep your space tip-top and your weekend ready for a garage sale.
