Book Description

Most people think they know what speed cleaning is all about. They may have a vague idea that it involves using a vacuum cleaner on their carpets or floors. That is where the misconceptions begin. Vacuuming is a far more complex process than most people realize. A good guide to speed cleaning will address every possible issue and give you tips for making the job go faster. Speed cleaning is not the same thing as carpet cleaning, at least not in the common imagination. It is, however, important to realize that difference as well. Speed cleaning should not be the single homework you do only after your floors are thoroughly dusted. It does enough to just make your house look cleaner, but that is it. Attempting to speed clean your entire house with just a vacuum and a broom will leave your floors behind in worse shape than you started out. There is no way you will accomplish that without a guide to speed cleaning, even if you do a spring cleaning every year or so. A guide to speed cleaning, especially one that deals with your carpets, floors, or other areas with thick furniture, will save you time, frustration, and money. A guide to speed cleaning saves you time because you will know exactly how to handle each different task. The first tip for speed cleaning is being aware of what is going on in your home when you are vacuuming. You might be cleaning your dining room and thinking you don't need to clean the kitchen. The truth is, you should still clean the dining room before you move on to the kitchen. It takes twice as much time to properly wipe down a dining room table than it does to wipe down a kitchen counter. The dining room has more stuff on it is harder to reach all the corners of the table to dust and clean it. You will also find yourself with more dust in your vacuum than in your car. If you have to clean between tasks you will want to use a guide to speed cleaning to shorten your time spent between tasks. For example you can use a guide to clean out your garage between tasks. You can speed up your house cleaning tasks by removing as much clutter as possible. The less clutter you remove between tasks, the less time it will take you to get done. Removing clutter will also save time since you won't have to lug around a heavy vacuum cleaner to clear out the rooms between tasks.
