30 Minutes To A Cleaner House
You're getting company in 30 minutes. Your house is a mess.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
SECRET TIP 1: DOOR LOCKS
If a room clearly can't be whipped into shape in 30 days--much less 30
minutes--employ the Locked Door Method of cleaning. Tell anyone who
tries to go in the room that the door is intentionally locked.
CAUTION: It is not advisable to use this tip for the bathroom.
Time: 2 seconds
SECRET TIP 2: DUCT TAPE
No home should be without an ample supply. Not only is it handy for
plumbing repairs, but it's a great way to hem drapes, tablecloths,
clothes, just about anything. No muss, no fuss.
Time: 2-3 minutes
SECRET TIP 3: OVENS
If you think ovens are just for baking, think again. Ovens represent
at least 9 cubic feet of hidden storage space, which means they're a
great place to shove dirty dishes, dirty clothes, or just about
anything you want to get out of sight when company's coming.
Time: 2 minutes
SECRET TIP 4: CLOTHES DRYERS
Like Secret Tip 3, except bigger. CAUTION: Avoid hiding flammable
objects here.
Time: 2.5 minutes
SECRET TIP 5: WASHING MACHINES & FREEZERS
Like Secret Tip 4, except even bigger.
Time: 3 minutes
SECRET TIP 6: DUST RUFFLES
No bed should be without one. Devotees of Martha Stewart believe dust
ruffles exist to keep dust out from under a bed or to help coordinate
the colorful look of a bedroom. The rest of us know a dust ruffle's
highest and best use is to hide whatever you've managed to shove under
the bed. (Refer to
Secret Tips 3, 4, 5.)
Time: 4 minutes
SECRET TIP 7: DUSTING
The 30-Minutes-To-A-Clean-House method says: Never dust under what you
can dust around.
Time: 3 minutes
SECRET TIP 8: DISHES
Don't use them. Use plastic or paper and you won't have to.
Time: 1 minute
SECRET TIP 9: VACUUMING
Stick to the middle of the room, which is the only placepeople look.
Don't bother vacuuming under furniture. It takes way too long and no
one looks there anyway.
Time: 5 minutes, entire house; 2 minutes, living room only
SECRET TIP 10: LIGHTING
The key here is low, low, and lower. It's not only romantic, but bad
lighting can hide a multitude of dirt.
Time: 10 seconds
SECRET TIP 11: BED MAKING
Get an old-fashioned waterbed. No one can tell if those things are
made up or not, saving you hundreds of seconds over the course of a
lifetime.
Time: 0
SECRET TIP 12: SHOWERS, TOILETS, AND SINKS
Forget one and two. Concentrate on three.
Time: 1 minute
SECRET TIP 13:
If you already knew at least 10 of these tips, don't even think about
inviting a Martha Stewart type to your home.
