Dyson’s Guide to Efficient Speed Cleaning

What is speed cleaning?

Your Sunday reset is the time you spend preparing for the week ahead. Most often, this means cleaning and tidying your home, but it can also include completing admin tasks or ticking errands off your list.

Not only is a Sunday reset a great way to get on top of your household cleaning, it means that you can end the week on a positive, productive note and begin a new week with a clean space that’s free from clutter.

The benefits of speed cleaning 

Finding time to clean can be difficult, so speed cleaning lets you achieve a thorough clean with less time investment. Not only does cleaning make your space more hygienic, but decluttering and tidying your environment can also help beat feelings of stress and bring a sense of accomplishment.

Speed cleaning tips for your home 

Before you clean

Preparation is key to a successful speed clean. Follow our tips for prepping properly before you start cleaning, from having your cleaning products at the ready to coming up with a plan for cleaning each room.

• Have products, tools and solutions prepared and available.

• Make sure machines are fully charged. 

• Plan how you will clean each room and make a checklist.

While you’re cleaning

Cleaning can become tiring or boring after a while, so follow our tips for keeping your motivation up and staying on track. 

• Don’t spend too long on areas that are already clean.

• Don’t overclean – once an area is cleaned, move to the next task. 

• Set a timer for each task so you know when to move on.

• Focus on one task at a time, rather than one room at a time. 

• Work from top to bottom.

How to keep your home tidy between deep cleans
