30 - Minute Marathon Cleaning

Apron Housewife Vacuuming Den





I don't know anyone who enjoys cleaning up a big mess. Personally, I like to take my time with housework, to take pride and delight in the process of making a home. However, when the kitchen is a wreck - after a big meal, I need to get things in order quickly. This calls for some marathon cleaning.

This is what I do:

1. Put on my ankle weights and set the timer for 30 minutes. (The weights help me work quickly, like I am doing a workout.)

2. Clean the sink, then fill it with hot water and start soaking dishes. (We don't have a dishwasher.)

3. Clean the counters.

4. Clean the stove.

5. Start washing dishes, drying them and putting them away.

6. I look at the clock and see I have 10 minutes left, this motivates me to work quickly without taking a break.

7. Soak the pans.

8. Sweep the Floor.

9. Wipe down the appliances.

10. Wash the pans.

All finished.

When I do this kind of marathon cleaning, I have much more free time for leisure.
