Cleaning 30 minutes a day (in our own homes) is a principle that Rubio’s Cleaning abides by. We’re naturally “clean freaks” just because we clean all day for work does not mean we live in messy homes. Quite the opposite--partially because we apply all of the tips we share on the Clean Blog, but we get our families involved as well. However when we attempted to make a list of exactly what you SHOULD do in those 30 minutes, well the list varies (because each home is so unique, consider appliances, pets, children, size, flooring, even the orientation of your house can cause more dust than another) so a one-size-fits all list doesn’t really apply. However there are some basics that everyone can consider, and perhaps amend to your household, that will help to keep your house feeling cleaner, and like you are cleaning less. Win-win!

Rubio’s Cleaning 30-Minute Per Day Checklist

Try to do 1 load of laundry per day 

Pro tip: Use the timers on your washer and set them to run overnight, not only are you saving energy but you can start your day with a fresh load each day. It’s like a daily reminder :)

Clean your floors every day: it likely will only take you a few minutes to vacuum and sweep your floors, choose one room and tackle them each day

Nighttime pickup: Spend a few minutes each night putting things where they belong so you can easily find them the next day.
