Is a wedding expected in your home? Are you worried about the short span of time that is left for the wedding? Your house is a mess; there are a lot of cobwebs across the walls with spiders popping out of them every now and then. The carpet is stuffed with dust and dirt so much so that it is capable of giving rise to allergies to the weak and the vulnerable ones. The cupboards are stuffed with unnecessary papers and useless books that no sound individual would like to delve into. The color of the walls has come off, and suddenly your house looks like a dilapidated, fourteenth century, ancient house rather than an elegant apartment of the 21st century which it actually is.

And the most important thing is that you lose weight. Anybody wants to lose weight in today’s obese times. If you think you can’t accomplish all this on your own, you may hire professional house cleaning services to carry out the job.
Quick and Easy Housecleaning Tips:
- Start with smaller things like cleaning the mirror, refrigerator, kitchen shelves, etc. Use an effective antiseptic agent or an alcohol-based cleanser that is good at cleaning surfaces and walls. Never use anything that erodes the surfaces. Mirror surfaces are especially sensitive to dirt and dust, so they need to be cleaned more often than other surfaces preferably with a specialised mirror cleaner. This should not take more than 15 minutes.
- You may be a busy person, but everybody is gifted with free Sundays, even a high profile businessman. So, what is stopping you? Grab a vacuum cleaner, turn on the power, and get started. Start with carpet, move towards the cobweb-laden walls, and scrape off dirt and dust from whatever you spot like bed sheets, curtains, pillows, and the like. This should not take more than 20 minutes.
- Quickly wade through old papers, books, and other items lying in your cupboards and desks for years in an unattended state. If they are of no use, discard them, sell them, or just donate them. Getting rid of junk gives a fresh whiff of energy and enthusiasm to perform more housecleaning tasks. This will take around an hour to get rid of almost all junk.
- Check if your house is well-ventilated, airy, and sunny. Both fresh air and sunlight are essential is keeping the atmosphere of the house fresh, healthy, and fit for human stay. Fresh air is rich in oxygen which enriches the internal house atmosphere making the residents feel more energetic and zestful. Sunlight is a natural microbicide and kills many a germ in your house. Tap it effectively, and let nature’s goodness get infused into your house. Take a minute or two to open all the windows of your house and let the sunlight and breeze in.
- Never postpone cleaning of utensils, clothes, or discarding other waste objects in the waste bin. Doing so on a daily or weekly basis will ensure you do not accumulate the trash large enough to overwhelm you.
- Once you are over with the cleaning process, you may move forward with organizing your home. Make sure you place each item in its designated place and not let anything lying scattered in your house.
When you carry out these small, quick housecleaning activities on a regular basis, you make sure your house remains in the best condition always. And whenever guests flow in all of a sudden or there is an impending wedding in the house in a few days, you are not in a state of shock and are ready to welcome any guest or event with joy and confidence. All you then need to do is flower and confetti arrangement and shopping for clothes and gifts, and you are 100% ready.
