Help! I have a really messy house and 4 hours to clean it?
Question:I have to clean the living room,my room, the guest room,the kitchen,and my bath room.
Every thing is a junk pile and has to be spotless.
Answers:
Start in the room your guest will see first. Second, the bathroom, through some bleach/pin-sol in toilet and in the tube let it set don't forget to wipe sink.
Pick everything off the ground work from the bottom up. Good luck...
Torch it
get off the net and start?
You should have plenty of time... if you have huge washing piles, shove them into your wardrobe and sort later.. my eldest daughter had a habit of doing that when I called to say I was coming over on short notice... LOL she never realised I knew ;)
Put everything in large trash bags and stash it to deal with later. Then you can find the floors and everything else to actually clean it. You might want to keep a trash can handy while you're packing up and a laundry basket so you don't lose your clothes. Use a timer and work in the first room for 15 minutes then switch and do the timer again. Get off the computer and go for it!
Here is the quickest way I know. Set your alarm clock to go off in 15, min´s time. Work in one room at a time , never take thing´s back to their rightful places till you have finished .. See how much you can do in this short amount of time, trust me you will be surprised. Bedroom all dirty clothes in a pile next to the bedroom door. all clean clothes to the closet. don´t forget the shoes under the bed. Work like this , setting your clock for 15 min´s . You will be finished in no time. Just remember to work in the one room. and when you finish , reward yourself.
Just jump in and get busy. Throw away anything that isn't any good, put away everything that you know has a place. As you pass some thing pick it up if you know you are going to the room it goes in..don't let it get so messy and then you wont have this problem the next time.
go clean...
Hay I'll be right over ha ha.
Find a copy of "Speed Cleaning" by Jeff Campbell. It's great, full of tips and tricks to clean your whole house with no wasted effort.
Take a room at a time. I would start in the living room working to the back of the house. The bathroom would be the last I clean. Everything you don't use or haven't used in sometime now throw out keep what you need put in a storage container.
Sound like you need a maid...
get off the net and start cleaning i hope you will save more time.
haaaaaahaaaahaaaahaahaaaaaaahh...
I'm a great fan of the Wal-Mart Plastic Tote Method of Emergency Cleaning.
1. Drive to the closest Wal-Mart ( I have it on good authority that there is a Wal-Mart of Plaxtic Tote Selling Cloine within 1 hour of every home in America).
2. Buy plastic totes sized to stack in a closet of your home of sufficient size and number to contain all of your mess.
3. Drive home.
4. Fill totes with mess - being careful to put biodegradable and other smelly stuff into a large garbage bag you cart from room to room and later put in garbage can or dumpster..
5. Stack totes in closet. Close door.
6. Vacumn ceilings, walls, furniture, floors, children and stray pets (the last two will usually vamoose once you turn on the machine).
7. Wash dishes or run dish washer. (If this becomes your usual cleaning method, then switch to paper plates and cups - and skip this step)
8. Dump half a can of scouring power onto bath fixtures and rinse using shower massage and scrubbie sponge.
Supplementary Method: If this is your great grandaunt who is maybe going to leave you a ton of money but has old fashioned ideas about godliness and cleanliness - recruit the neighborhood busybody/clean freak to help. You do this stuff, and she can do the finicky stuff, like dusting, making beds, and washing floors. (She'll love being in the know, and will be too exhausted to spill the beans to your moneybags relative.)
If your are in the 1% of the world who can not get plastic totes, use plastic garbage bags instead.
A nice touch is to label the totes "Christmas" "Winter Clothes"' "Holiday Decorations"' etc just in case.
9. After the "emergency visitor" has gone, wait 3 months. If you haven't torn apart the totes looking for something - toss them unopened into the local landfill.
Repeat as needed.
