30 MINUTE
Cleaning Plan

PUT AWAY THE MESS

10 MINS
Go through each room and put away things that
just don’t belong. You can also straighten things
up as you go (i.e cushions on the sofa)

CLEAN THE KITCHEN & BATHROOM

10 MINS
This might involve putting dishes in the
dishwasher and wiping down surfaces. You
don’t need everything to be spotless, just
clean.

VACUUM
10 MINS
If your floors are in a state then take 10
minutes to quickly run the vacuum over them.
Having a cordless vacuum like the Dyson will
make this reallyeasy.

Cleaning Plan
PUT AWAY THE MESS
10 MINS
Do this quickly by having adequate storage solutions. Having
a place for everything will make the process much faster.

DO THE DISHES & WIPE THE COUNTERS

10 MINS
Don’t sweat it if you don’t have time to do a full clean of the entire
kitchen. We’re aiming for neat and tidy, not a deep clean.

CLEAN THE BATHROOM

10 MINS

Aim for a wipe down of surfaces, not scrubbing with a toothbrush!

DUST BASEBOARDS & VACUUM

15 MINS
This may take some time but having clean floors can make a world
of difference to how a room feels.

MOP
10 MINS
You can mop any floors where needed. Usually, this is just the
kitchen and bathrooms but if you have other areas, you can do
those too.
