I constantly keep on finding ways to get the cleaning done on autopilot. Today I’m glad to tell you that after years of trial and error, I finally tracked down some effective techniques.
In all sincerity, I’m inclined to cleaning a little bit every day over deep cleaning once in a blue moon.
I’m always hunting for tips and tricks that would help me keep my house clean without even knowing.
When I first tried this cleaning method, my house-cleaning was done on Autopilot.
I ensured that I stick to this cleaning method. And as months went my house looked and felt clean without much efforts and thoughts.
Also, the need for deep cleaning banished.
Firstly, what do I mean by getting cleaning done on autopilot?
You accomplish things on autopilot when you do them without even thinking.
Automaticity occurs when a certain action is overpracticed or overfamiliarized.
There are so many things we do on Autopilot every single day. Example: taking a shower, making coffee, checking your phone notifications, etc
We don’t need to plan or think before doing the foregoing things, right?
That is because you are experienced in doing these things. Since you’re at ease in doing them you don’t have to think about them and they get done on autopilot.
Similarly, in order to get cleaning done on autopilot you need to be seasoned in it. This is possible when you grow used to or get into the habit of cleaning.
The easiest way to practice cleaning is by following good systems or routines.
DAILY CLEANING CHECKLIST
Our home appears fresh and beautiful besides being safe when it is clean.
Daily cleaning prevents the chance of disease and brings a bright outlook our lives.
Yet you don’t have to dust, scrub, wipe, or shine everything every day in your home to keep it clean.
You just have to focus on a few things daily.

In case of hand dishwashing, quickly get them done.
Laundry
