Spread the love

Is your home a complete mess and you don’t know where to start? The power hour cleaning routine can your super assistant.

If cleaning leads your entire day and you can’t find time for important business, a power-hour cleaning routine could help too.

Let’s accept it, cleaning takes up plenty of time and energy. With little kids, it’s hard to keep on.

And even though we put effort into cleaning, our house barely stays like that.

Maybe that’s the main reason we put off cleaning. But doing so is a recipe for disaster. Which is going to take twice as much time and effort.

What is power hour cleaning?

Briefly, power hour is an intensive speed cleaning time when you concentrate only on essential housekeeping tasks. And focus on getting them done at a fast pace.

You can do power hour in many ways.

You can do it daily to get your home back in order. You can do it when your house gets out of control and you lack motivation.

In fact, we all can benefit from this cleaning session.

If you’re a working mom and struggle to keep the house clean throughout the week. Doing power hour cleaning on weekends can help reset your home.

If you’re a work-at-home mommy, the power hour cleaning can help you accomplish your entire cleaning in an hour so you can put extra hours into work. A great way to get cleaning out of the way and find enough time for work and family.

Similarly, stay-at-home moms can benefit too. Cleaning tasks spread throughout the day? Not anymore. You no longer need to spend the entire day cleaning. One solid hour devoted to cleaning and your home will be all set.

Either, you wake up before your family for your power hour or do it after your kids go to bed. The evening is also an excellent time to reset your home for a slow and peaceful morning.

That said, there’s no specific time to do your power hour cleaning. It’s just that I find early morning and nighttime the best to avoid distractions.

What to expect?

This isn’t deep cleaning. This cleaning method won’t give you a spotless, pure, perfect place. Rather your home will be a better place to function. The people in your home can relax, find stuff effortlessly, and enjoy their time at home.

After your power hour cleaning, you’ll be able to serve meals on time, provide fresh laundry, ascertain the bathroom is hygienic, ensure clean floors for the kids to play on. Plus, family members can find what they’re looking for.

Quick tips before we start our power hour:

  • Create a short cleaning checklist of tasks you want to accomplish during power hour.
  • Keep cleaning supplies accessible to prevent breaks (disruption) and time wasting.
  • Be aware you’re not using your phone, except for something really important. Some people find watching Television while cleaning distracting too.
  • Avoid the temptation to deep clean something. That’s a project for another day.
  • If you plan to do power hour cleaning on weekends, you must keep up with at least a few things during the week. You may need to wipe your kitchen table, counters, bathroom mirror, and sink, and swish the toilet several times a week. Throw in a load or two of laundry and run the dishwasher once or twice a week. So it is easier for you.
