The ten-minute evening reset
What our cleaners do in their own homes every night: five small things that make the morning, and the next clean, much easier.
Ask anyone who cleans for a living what they do at home, and you’ll hear the same answer: not much, every day.
Empty the sink
A sink with nothing in it changes how the whole kitchen feels. Run the dishwasher, or wash what’s there, and dry the sink with a towel.
Wipe the counters, once
One pass with a damp cloth and a dry one. Crumbs left overnight are the ones that turn into sticky spots.
Shoes and bags in one place
A basket by the door does more than any cleaning product.
Thirty seconds in the shower
A squeegee down the glass after the last shower of the day, and limescale never gets a start.
Set a timer
Ten minutes, then stop. The point is to do it every night, not to do it all.
