Very few people enjoy doing household chores and are happy to get there as fast as possible. Here are 10 tips on how to do many tasks a little bit faster. If you save a few minutes in each activity, you will end up being impressed with how much time it takes and how quickly you can return to the beautiful things of life. Here are some helpful life hacks and tricks to help you:
Wax paper in the fridge
Put out the compartments in the fridge before filling with wax paper. Whenever a bottle of ketchup or other sticky liquid leaks, everything drips on the wax paper, which you can easily replace. This way, the compartments always stay clean, and those dirty, disgusting stains, as in the picture, do not even arise.
2nd order with a hanging shoe rack
A hanging shoe rack is great for storing items that are usually scattered throughout the home. Here is enough space for your wallet, keys, headphones, charger, whatever you need. And if you hang it in the door of the closet, there is nothing left to open.
Self-cleaning mixer
Next time you clean your blender, just add a little detergent with water. If you stop him now, he will purify himself. Much more thorough than you could by hand. Simply rinse with water at the end – done.
Everything in its place
You save a lot of time and nerves if you keep all the cleaning products and rags that are used together in one basket. The next time you clean the bathroom, you do not have to look for anything, just grab the basket and have it all at hand. At the end you put him back. So everything is well sorted and nothing stops outside.
Washing made easy
To make flushing by hand much easier, you can easily create a spray yourself. Add 250 ml of water with a tablespoon of detergent to a spray bottle. If you spray your dirty dishes with it before you put it in the sink, all the leftovers will almost dissolve on the next rinse.
Always fresh laundry
If you want to do your laundry, but you know you can not put it in the dryer right after that, this trick is great to keep your laundry fresh and moist. Just add a few drops of lavender oil to the wash. The oil has antibacterial properties and avoids the formation of fungi, so that the clothes continue to smell freshly washed. Since the oil can leave stains on some garments, it makes sense to put the drops on dark socks or a separate cloth.
Fast and clean
Another trick for your laundry: Try your program for light soiling on your washing machine. Often it works just as well, but is much faster. And you also save water.
Let the cleaning agents do the work
For stubborn dirt in the sink, many people often scrub eternally and yet are frustrated. You can save yourself a lot of work: Let the cleaning agents do the work alone. Spray the remedies on the areas to be cleaned and let them move in for a few minutes. This allows the cleaners to develop their full power. It is often enough to wipe off with a damp cloth afterwards to achieve radiant shine – without scrubbing.
Take off your shoes
Get used to taking off your shoes right at the front door. Because unappetizing dirt that does not even get into the house, must not be cleaned off later. One should rather not imagine what everything can stick to the shoe sole …
Psychology to the cleaning genius
Last but not least, a little “psychological” trick: With an egg timer cleaning does not only shorter, but is really faster. When cleaning up, set the timer to 5 minutes, and you’ll be impressed with how much you can do when you’re suddenly “pressed for time”. This makes tidying up a breeze, because you can quickly get over to a job that only takes you 5 minutes to complete.
All tricks are easy to implement. Try it once and you will soon have some of it internalized. So the “hurdles” for working in the home are already decidedly lower.
