Clean Your Home in Just 10 Minutes

If you’re short on time, a cleaner house is still possible. Here are four quick ways to refresh your space.

1. In the Kitchen: Tackle Dirty Dishes

Use a sink-side caddy to stash soaps and sponges, and set out a rack to organize clean dishes while they dry.

2. In the Bathroom: Get Rid of Water Stains

Wipe the floors and shower doors, then lay down a quick-dry bath mat and add a squeegee to the shower to prevent future stains.

3. In the Living Room: Clear the Clutter

Bring in a large open-top basket for extra blankets and pillows, and keep a smaller set near the coffee table for remotes and magazines.

4. In the Bedroom: Refresh the Pillows

Add pillows to the dryer with dryer balls to fluff, then use a lint brush to clean fabrics.
