Spring Cleaning?  How can you fit that in your busy life? Here's the secret.... Multi-tasking by minutes.  You do it every day of your life.   Think about it, you feed the baby, while you read Buzz Feed while holding your 3 year old who is playing Angry birds on your smartphone, while you are eating a sandwich.  4 tasks in less than a minute!  You are savvy, and part of the best multi-tasking generation ever.  You can Spring Clean your home by incorporating cleaning minutes into your daily multi-tasking routines.

Gone are the days of all day Spring Cleaning. Don't feel pressed to meet Mom's or Grandma's expectations. It's your home, your world, and it is totally different than theirs was. Do what you can, when you can.  Stand at the front door and look at your home visually.  How does it look? Does it smell odor free?  Get those two things under control and you will appear domesticated and spiffy to guests. 

 

Look at it like you are shopping on Amazon for an Iron Man Mask for your Super Hero. You can do that whole transaction in less than 5 minutes.  That's all you need is 5 minutes and your house will become magically cleaned in small increments by multi-tasking.

  5 MINUTE MULTITASKING SPRING CLEANING TIPS

  

DUSTING AND VACUUMING

  

TOOL:                Vacuum and Swiffer dry Duster unscented.  Velcro Swiffer360  Extension duster and small duster to the side of the vacuum. 

TECHNIQUE:     As you vacuum, hit only the traffic areas.  Skip the rest, it's not that dirty.  Once a month, vacuum all the carpet. Get that dangling cobweb, dust the TV screen, multi-tasking at it's finest.  Plus, Swiffer dry dusters unscented are certified asthma and allergy friendly™ by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America AAFA.  They trap and lock up to 70% of inanimate allergens from surfaces, which is 2x more that a dusting cloth and 3 times more than a feather duster.  Triple Multi-tasking at it's finest, remove allergens, dust and vacuum!  YAAS!
