So, we’re here with our top tips to keep your home tidy and fresh, in just 10 minutes a day - ideal for integrating into your busy day without you having to put in too much elbow grease!

The 6-step house cleaning schedule that’ll take you less than 10 minutes
-
Kitchen sink spritz
Time required: 2 minutes
Nobody likes waking up to a pile of dirty dishes, especially if you have a busy day at work ahead, or a family breakfast to prepare! So, make it a habit to give your kitchen sink a quick refresh before you head to bed every night - you’ll thank yourself for it in the morning!
Our top tip: Use our non toxic washing up liquid to clean up those supper dishes, then give your sink a quick wipe down with our multi-surface cleaner to keep any nasty drain smells at bay.
-
Quick bathroom refresh
Time required: 2 minutes
Bathrooms can get messy fast - especially if you have little ones! But a quick daily refresh will keep things tidy and germ-free, meaning you won’t have to deep clean as often. Spend a minute or two wiping down the sink, taps, and mirror, and give the toilet a quick scrub if needed.
Our top tip: Keeping our non toxic bathroom cleaning bundle to hand means you’ve got the full tool kit for killing germs and cleaning your mirrors, without leaving harsh chemicals behind! Perfect if you have pets or children in your home.
-
Blast that limescale
Time required: 1 minute
Once it's built up, limescale can be a real pain to get rid of, meaning you’ll be using more time and elbow grease to tackle it! The trick is to regularly spritz problem areas like taps, sinks and shower heads, to prevent it from building up in the first place. Our limescale remover is twice as effective as the leading
chemical-based product, meaning even less scrubbing for you!
Our top tip: Our non toxic limescale remover is also safe enough to use in your kettle. Once a week, mix some with water, bring your kettle to the boil, then leave it to sit for half an hour to tackle stubborn build ups.
-
Keep high-touch areas hygienic
Time required: 1 minute
Keeping germs at bay is a constant battle if you have a young family, especially during flu season! A quick daily wipe down of areas you and your family touch on a regular basis should help reduce the spread of those pesky cold viruses. Think doorknobs, light switches, remote controls and even your little ones’ favourite toys.
Our top tip: Our all-purpose spray is an eco cleaner that’ll kill 99.9% bacteria, and is totally safe to use around your children - making it ideal for cleaning things that little fingers will be touching.
-
Tidy up as you go
Time required: 2 minutes
This one might sound obvious, but it’s surprising how much mess builds up around your home when you’re busy! Tidying things up as you go takes just a couple of minutes, and will stop you from spending longer tidying the whole house in one go at the end of the day. If you’re making breakfast, pop that cereal box back in the cupboard straight away, wipe up crumbs, put dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and straighten up your bed sheets as soon as you get up.
Our top tip: Little ones tend to come with a lot of mess, so if you have a young family, invest in a few stylish baskets that you can leave around the house for quickly throwing their toys into. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to sort them, as they’ll only be tipped out again the next day!
-
Nightly reset
Time required: 2 minutes
Take two minutes at the end of every day to walk around your home and reset anything that needs a straighten up. Fluff up your cushions, throw stray laundry into your washing basket, or stack the dishwasher. This’ll stop mess from building up, and means you can put your feet up and relax knowing you’re on top of the basics.
Our top tip: If you have children, this is a great activity to do with them before bedtime. Set a timer and challenge them to tidy up their bedroom or put away their bath toys as quickly as they can - they’ll love the challenge, and you’ll have a tidier home at the end of it!
