One of the most effective ways to save time when cleaning is knowing how to use a sprayer. We spend a lot of time scrubbing dirt harder until it wears off. But there is a more effective way.

Start by spraying on all the surfaces that you need to clean. When you are done spraying a room, leave it and go to another one. Keep on doing this until you are done spraying the whole house.

Then, go back to room one and you will realize that the sprayer had enough time to absorb dirt. Thus, all you need to do is to wipe gently and the dirt will be gone. Consequently, you will save a lot of energy and time.

We often neglect vacuuming them and think that the “roller-treatment” is enough and can help in getting rid of food crusts and other kinds of dirt. But the truth is that furniture such as couches and sofas can host a huge number of dust mites; what’s worse is that they keep on multiplying.

Hence, vacuuming is the best way to clean your upholstered furniture and get rid of the mites that might be living on their surfaces; so make sure that you vacuum more often in order to avoid developing issues such as certain types of allergies.
