My spring cleaning is underway.
In getting our routine maintenance completed for our heating and air conditioning units and having our home pressure washed, I was ready to get the inside clean.
In between loads of laundry, I worked to dust, organize, and vacuum our downstairs.
With our kitchen needing more attention than most of the other rooms, I found that I could combine tasks for better efficiency.
Needing to soak some soiled clothes before adding them to the washing machine, I decided to soak them in my kitchen sink.
Usually, I soak the clothes with OxiClean in our utility sink located in the garage. Knowing that OxiClean gets my kitchen sink sparkling white and my sink needed cleaning, I chose to let the cleaner do the work for me.
Once the clothes had soaked for about 2 hours, I washed that load of clothes and drained my kitchen sink. The result was a sparkling white sink and stain-free clothes. By combining laundry and cleaning my kitchen sink, I saved money from using 2 cleaning products, energy from scrubbing my sink, and time doing two tasks.
As I continue working on spring cleaning, I seek opportunities to combine tasks for better efficiency. Another combination I use is boiling 2 cups of water for homemade baby wipes while steam cleaning my microwave.
In using time wisely, remember to combine tasks for better efficiency. From making phone calls while checking e-mail to making tea while cooking dinner, you can save time while knocking those tasks off your to do list. Happy combining!
Question: What tasks do you combine for better efficiency?
That sink looks squeaky clean. I think I need to use your cleaning products from here on out.
Thanks, Max! The Oxiclean really does get the sink that clean. The best part is that it requires no scrubbing. 🙂 Thank you for the comment.
