Smart Laundry and Cleaning Hacks for Every Home

Here are some house cleaning tips.

• A damp cloth is better at catching dust than a dry one. A dry duster just scatters it around and into the air. It then resettles elsewhere later.
• A swifter can be used with a dust cloth. Wet the dust cloth and you can dust mop.
• A mop is good for cleaning the bottom of the bathtub. It can save your back on bending over.
• If you have to move something more than 1 time per day because it is in the wrong place, and that item needs a new location.
• Put things back where they belong when you are finished with it.
• Sort the mail as it comes in. I find it helpful to stand near the trash can.
