Tips to Cut Cleaning Time in Half

By: StatePoint Media

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Looking for ways to simplify household chores so you can have more time to relax? Here are three strategies to cut the time you spend cleaning in half:

Use Double-Duty Tools

If you’re still using a conventional mop and vacuum, you’re working twice as hard as you need to be. One tool that pulls double-duty is the Tineco iFloor 3 Ultra. This user-friendly cordless floor washer scrubs clean and vacuums at the same time, leaving sealed hard floors, such as hardwood, vinyl, laminate, linoleum, tile and marble, instantly dry and streak-free. Tineco’s iFloor 3 Ultra may be lightweight, but it features powerful washing and suction, making it a great choice for both everyday cleaning and tackling tough, stuck-on messes.

This floor washer was thoughtfully designed with two tanks to keep the clean water and solution separate from dirty water, so you’re always cleaning the floor with fresh water. And, when the cleaning is complete, you can use the self-cleaning button for a like-new machine with each use. With up to 25 minutes of runtime and a helpful onboard LED display featuring real-time information about machine functions, including battery level, power status, blockage indicators and more, the floor washer will be ready to clean when you are. Added accessories include brush rollers, filters and cleaning solutions. Now available both in-store and online nationwide at a great price, consider grabbing the Tineco iFloor 3 Ultra on your next run to your local Costco.

Eliminate Clutter

Establishing a “microtidying” habit can save you significant time and energy in the long run. Assign a drop zone bin for each member of the family in a convenient location. Then, encourage everyone to spend just a few minutes in the evening emptying their bin and returning items to their proper location.

As for paper clutter, it’s all too easy to let countertops and tables get overrun with stacks of mailers, catalogs and documents. The United States Postal Service reports that over 77 billion pieces of unwanted paper mail are delivered annually. Stop junk mail from piling up in your home with an app like PaperKarma, which makes it easy to unsubscribe from mailing lists. Then, opt in for paperless communications and bills from your utility companies, credit card, doctor’s offices and more. As for your existing paperwork, an app like CamScanner or Google Docs can help you quickly batch scan important documents, so you can recycle or shred the physical copies. These tasks will take just a few moments now, but save you countless time sorting and filing down the line.

Set it and Forget it

Setting up an air purifier, and forgetting it until it’s time to swap out the filter, is not just good for your home’s indoor air quality, it’s actually an underrated cleaning hack. Air purifiers work to remove indoor pollutants from your air, including pollen, pet dander and dust, before they settle on surfaces, yet only 1 in 4 American homes has one, according to Consumer Reports. So if dusting doesn’t make the list of your favorite pastimes, consider investing in an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter, the gold standard in particle filtration.

If you’re like most people, you’re busy. Thankfully, tried-and-true strategies along with time-saving tools can cut your to-do list in half and make cleaning a cinch.
