Save Time with These Four Easy Cleaning Hacks

No matter how much time you spend kicking your feet up and enjoying your favorite leisurely activities, it never quite feels like enough. Although leisure time has increased for most Americans over the past few decades, it feels like the opposite is true. In fact, a 2019 survey conducted by OnePoll shows that most Americans are struggling to keep up with simple daily tasks, leaving them with very little free time.

With Spring already upon us, Summer is right around the corner and the last thing you want to do is spend time cleaning when you could be soaking up some rays by the pool! Below, we’re sharing some tips on how to tackle those pesky Spring chores now so you can spend the Summer relaxing.

Have Cleaning Supplies Delivered

There’s no worse feeling than diving headfirst into a cleaning project only to realize that you’re all out of all-purpose cleaner or disinfectant wipes. Instead of stopping midway through to run to the store, you can make life easier with a home essentials delivery service. By doing so, you get time back in your day while getting whatever you need delivered right to your doorstep. In addition to being convenient, by using a delivery service you’re cutting down on the amount you spend on gas as well as the overspending that occurs when you physically go to a grocery or convenience store to purchase cleaning supplies. Although cleaning can feel like an overwhelming task, getting ahead of it will only provide you with more time to enjoy yourself once the beautiful weather sets in.

Invest in a Solar Powered Pool Cleaner

Any pool owner knows that owning a pool can be costly and requires some seriously tedious upkeep. However, with an Ariel, it no longer has to be. Ariel is a solar powered pool cleaner that you simply place on the surface of your pool and let it do its thing. The front pedal wheel scoops up any dirt, dust and debris before it has a chance to sink to the bottom. This reduces algae and bacteria build up that normally materializes at the bottom of the pool. In addition, the Ariel significantly decreases the amount of time you have to run your pump while simultaneously cutting down on chemical usage. Now on those hot summer days you don’t have to worry about doing any cleaning before diving right in.

Create a Cleaning Caddy

How many times have you gone to clean something only to realize you have no idea where you’ve placed your cleaning supplies? If you’ve spent countless hours on your hands and knees searching through the deepest depths of your cupboard for that one thing you always seem to lose, why not avoid this and create a caddy to keep your cleaning necessities organized? The best part about storing all your items in a caddy is that it’s portable and easy to move from location to location while you embark on your cleaning journey. Your must-have items will of course be dependent on your cleaning tasks, but here are a few suggestions for starters:

  • Rubber gloves
  • Garbage Bags
  • Antibacterial Wipes
  • All-Purpose Cleaner
  • Window Cleaner
  • Dust Mitt

Be Realistic with Your Time

Although multitasking may seem like it is saving you exuberant amounts of time, it may actually be having adverse effects. On paper, multitasking makes sense and technically our bodies are multitasking all the time by doing things like breathing and blinking and talking. But in reality, multitasking doesn’t always work. Our brains tend to struggle when handling tasks that require more focus and concentration. By taking on too much at once, it generally will cause most people to miss something important, mess something up or in some cases, leading individuals to possibly hurt themselves. While multitasking may seem enticing on paper, in the long run it is more efficient to take time on one chore or task at a time.

Time is such an important asset for many people. And while these tips may not seem like major time savers, when summer arrives and you’re slurping down a drink by the pool, you will be sure to cherish every last second (in a clean home) and appreciate any time you saved.
