9 Tips For Speed Cleaning

Friday February 6, 2009
When my husband and I were first married, we experienced a lot of the chore wars. One of our solutions to get ourselves to actually be motivated to clean up together, was to make it a contest. We'd set a timer for 1 minute and one of us would clean as much as we could. Then we'd set a timer for 1 more minute, and it would be the other person's turn. There wasn't really anyway to figure out who won, but we had a blast laughing at some of the "short-cuts" we came up with.

If you're looking for a real way to get things cleaned quickly, these speed cleaning secrets will help you cut your cleaning time in 1/2.
