The last few years I have really become invested in cleaning and ensuring the space I am living in is looked after. However, this has been even more true whilst lockdown has occurred this year. Being at home the majority of time without choice has really meant I want to live in an environment that is clean and fresh. Of course I have been inspired by many others either on Instagram or Youtube as well.
However, as I have invested so much time researching and perfecting tips and tricks for cleaning and organising around the home. I thought I would share these great tips that I have learnt with you all too.
Today I will be talking about my
15-Minute cleaning tips for every room in your home!
These tips are a great way to effectively clean every room in your home but keeping in mind if you don’t have much time. Also when you complete these tasks make sure you have a timer to hand, so that you can keep an eye out for the 15-Minute limit.

- Put everything back in it’s correct place.
- If you have children then remove all toys and put them away.
