Tidying up is probably just as unpopular as the more complex apartment cleaning on the weekend.
It doesn't take long to create a basic order.
You know it, the dishes have to be done, the magazines are randomly lying around in the living room and the washbasin in the bathroom has seen better days.
It doesn't matter whether you have registered for a spontaneous visit or you just want to feel more comfortable again:
With just a few tricks, your apartment will be tidy again in no time
.
Cleaning tricks for rapid cleaning in the bathroom
In order to ensure quick order in the bathroom *, it is worth taking a quick look into the room first.
Is there enough toilet paper?
Are there hair ties or facial tissues lying around?
Is the garbage can overflowing?
Everything that is lying around and can still be used, such as
make-up brushes or shaving foam, should be banned in the bathroom cabinet
.
To give the sink a last minute kick, do the following:
Fill the sink with a little lukewarm water.
Add some hand soap.
Spread the soapy water in the sink.
As a result, the dust is wiped away in a flash.
Drain the water and go through the sink again with an old towel.
Optionally, you can wipe other dusty areas with the wet towel.
Then throw the dirty towel in the laundry and hang up a clean one.

Cleaning tricks for quick order in the living room
Newspapers, magazines or books are often flying around in the living room.
Stack everything and put a pretty vase on top.
This will make the stack more decorative.
Pillows and blankets lying around can also enhance the room.
The pillows are fluffed up in no time and the blankets are folded
.
If you have baskets in your apartment, these and other things can be stowed there.
Hair and bunnies can be removed very quickly with a handheld vacuum cleaner.
If you don't have one on hand, rubber gloves are ideal for your hair on the couch.
What sounds strange, works surprisingly well and goes quickly.
Simply walk over the sofa with the gloves on, the hair will stick to it and the couch is again a hair-free zone.

Cleaning trick to get rid of bad smells in a flash
Nobody likes bad smells in the house.
Basically, it never hurts to ventilate the individual rooms well.
Scented candles also help.
They not only provide a more pleasant scent, but also create a relaxed atmosphere.
But if the scented candle is too much of a good
thing
, you could still get rid of bad smells with this trick:
just light a match, let it burn briefly and blow out again
.
The smell of the charred wood is superimposed on other smells and these are then no longer perceived.
Another alternative would be to
simmer
an
orange peel with a little cinnamon in a saucepan
.
Cleaning trick for a tidy bedroom
A prepared bed makes a big difference in the bedroom.
Shake out the pillows, place the blankets neatly over the bed, and throw dirty clothes into the laundry
.
The worst is done in a few minutes.
To quickly wipe dust in the bedroom, you can go over the surfaces with a cleaning duster, for example, or with nylon tights.
This is because it also picks up the dust.
