"Simply-Clean": Integrating daily cleaning into everyday life
+Just a few minutes a day should be enough - with a weekly plan, daily cleaning should be made easier.

The "Simply-Clean" concept promises an always clean apartment in a short time. Ten to 15 minutes a day have to be invested. The method was developed by the American author and blogger Becky Rapinchuk, who explains in her book how to divide the work into small bites every day instead of the strenuous weekly cleaning. So you can not only shine permanently with a presentable apartment. All rooms also remain consistently clean and tidy.

A daily cleaning schedule helps to avoid the weekly cleaning of the apartment. According to Becky Rapinchuk, a cleaning plan is more systematic and time-efficient. Just ten to 15 minutes a day should be sufficient. This "cleaning time" can be planned both in the morning after getting up or in the evening, just as it fits into the individual daily schedule.
Cleaning your apartment in ten minutes: How to make your weekly schedule a success
In order for the "Simply-Clean" method to work, the various household tasks are divided into three different categories:
- Daily tasks: If you want to keep order in your home, you can't avoid some things. Whether it's making the bed, tidying up or doing laundry. If you get a little done every day, there won't be as much work on weekends.
- Weekly tasks: Larger tasks should be completed once a week. This includes cleaning the bathroom, dusting, vacuuming, mopping the floor and changing the bed linen. If you schedule one of these tasks every day of the week, the "Simply-Clean" method is very easy.
- Monthly tasks: Some things need to be cleaned much less frequently, depending on their use and importance. This includes, among other things, cleaning the oven or cleaning windows.
The method is supposed to work by completing at least one of the weekly tasks every day in addition to the daily to-dos. However, whether all tasks can really be completed in just ten to 15 minutes a day depends, of course, on the individual life situation.
