How to Start Cleaning? Even reading this makes some stressed! Today I am starting to share with you my four effective tips for cleaning. These tips will help transform your cleaning experience – they will make it quicker, faster and effective, with a beautiful finish that allows you to feel more love in your home. 
 

  • Remove all items

Before you start cleaning an area, move everything on top away. Sayfor exampleyou are going to be cleaning the kitchen surfacesI would recommend we remove all the items on the kitchen surface onto the main table to allow the surface to be cleaned properly and quickly. I promise you if you try to clean each item, move the item, clean under the item then put it back, it will take much longer  This is a fantastic tip. 
 
Now when removing items think about these two things: 

  • De-clutter

Does each item bring love into your life. In other wordsdoes it make you feel happy? Perhaps the item brings you lovely memories? Maybe it’s of sentimental value? Or maybe it’s an item that inspires you to think about the future? So as long as it brings you any of those feelings then I would keep them. 
 

  • It is still loved?

What you also want to think aboutis it functional? I know for myself I have often kept things because it makes me feel ‘richer’.  If I keep everything it shows I have bought things, done things. I have tried my best in life but actually it’s so much better to just keep the things that are useful and have a purpose. 
 
If an item brings you love, and/or it’s useful, keep them. But anything else – you probably don’t need it, let it go. It’s a fantastic feel and will help bring that 5 star feeling to your home!
