There are few things in life as inevitable as the fact that your home will continuously be in need of cleaning. Whether it is an immediate mess that you need to address or perhaps just the regular domestic cleaning round, you will have to invest the time and effort to restore the conditions in your place back to normal.

Without a doubt, you wish to spend as little time cleaning as possible. After all, it is not the best of activities. To do that, you need to look into a few ways that keep your home clean for longer and minimise the need to clean it all that often.

• You should think fast – when you create a mess in the kitchen countertop, do you often think to yourself that you will deal with it the first thing in the Saturday/Sunday afternoon? While it is completely normal to want to wait till the time you have more free time on your hands, it is not always the best strategy. The more you let a stain linger, the more difficult it becomes to remove it later on. Instead of doing that, you should get right onto it. That way it will be easier to remove, and you will be sparing yourself a lot of future effort.
• Scrub areas selectively – if you are not familiar with the concept of spot cleaning, you have to consider it now. The idea is that you don’t always have to clean everything around your home. Some areas and items can do with just a routine wipe. However, some items require specific attention. For instance, when you are cleaning a door, do you wipe the whole of it from top to bottom? That is a waste of time and effort because the thing you should be concentrating on is the door handle. It is the one part that accumulates grime the most, because of the human activity associated with it.
• You should take precautionary measures – if you wish to clean less, you should take some preventive actions. For instance, you can place a doormat and an area rug near the entry area. That way dust and dirt will never have a chance to enter your home. You should also insist on everyone leaving their shoes at the door so that they don’t track in dust and dirt.
• Teach your children to clean – people often complain about how difficult it is to keep their home clean with children around. What you should do is try to make little ones part of the cleaning solution. Teach them about the importance of cleaning and even show them how to address a few chores. The earlier in their lives you do this, the more they will learn to take responsibility and adopt useful skills, such as picking up clutter and not making a mess of the place.  

There is little doubt that these tips will help you keep the mess at home under control and reduce the amount of effort you have to invest in the job.
