Cleaning

Use twenty minutes for the basin, food preparation surfaces and busy floor routes, with separate cloths and a sensible stopping point.

Build a flexible cleaning rhythm around food spills, busy areas and slower build-up, with appliance care following its own instructions.

Prepare for the week by checking the diary, choosing essential laundry and clearing the places needed on Monday morning.

Put food away first, free the draining space and clean the surfaces dinner used, finishing with crumbs and spills underfoot.

Pack a light carrier for the cleaning route ahead, separating cloth roles and leaving reserves and unrelated specialist products in storage.
