30-Minute Quick Clean

May 9, 2015 | Add to Cozi, Blog, Clean Mama, List Library

Is it possible to completely clean your whole house in 30 minutes? No, but you can do a quick clean and reset the space and put your mind at ease. This method is perfect for the days you feel like you need to do a quick reset but aren’t quite sure where to start or if you have company coming or someone dropping by unexpectedly.

The 30 Minute Quick Clean tasks are broken down into three categories: The Basics, Ambience, and Cleaning Extras. Using a checklist will guide you and keep you on task. You can also work together with family members to complete the tasks on the list and speed this process up!
