Lazy Girl Cleaning Checklist: 8 Simple Tips You Need to Try

Woman organizing home.

Having a consistently clean home is probably everyone’s dream.

It makes you look like you have your life together, and it honestly just creates a more relaxing space.

But we can’t all be Instagram influencers with over 400,000 followers who seem to always have the perfect home.

You and I are normal people who have a pretty darn busy schedule but can still implement simple ideas to gradually have a home that’s consistently clean.

Or at least that’s the goal.

So follow some of these simple tips to make keeping up the home a bit simpler.

1. Race Against the Microwave

A great way to clean up your kitchen is to race your microwave.

The next time you reheat something, pick a task and do your best to complete it before the microwave goes off.

2. Clean Your Glass Stovetop Without Scrubbing

The easiest way to clean your glass stovetop is to cover it with baking soda, spray some vinegar on top, and lay a damp towel on top.

Leave this mixture on for 15 minutes and then you can easily wipe off the stovetop with a little bit of scrubbing (a razor blade works well for this).

3. Line Your Refrigerator Shelves

Prevent having to clean future spills by lining your refrigerator shelves with a press and seal cling wrap.

It makes cleaning so much more simple, and any unwanted spills are easily cleaned up with basically zero hassle.

4. Clean While You Cook

Keep your kitchen clean when cooking a meal by cleaning as you go.

Every time you’re done with a pot, pan, or utensil, simply rinse it and throw it into the dishwasher.

If you dirty a countertop, be sure to wipe it down before moving on to the next step in your recipe.

This prevents a sink full of dirty dishes and allows for a clean kitchen by the time your meal is ready to eat.

5. Find a Place for Everything

This is an important step to take if you don’t want to be constantly cleaning.

Magazines, TV remotes, pots and pans, etc.

If everything has a specific place that you return it to once you’re done using it, then you won’t have to tidy up as often.

6. Use a Lint Roller to Dust

Dust your lampshades and upholstery with a lint roller!

Pretty simple, and depending on what you’re dusting, you can even do it while you sit and watch television.

It’s an easy way to clean with very little effort.

7. Blend Soap and Water in Your Blender

Pretty sure everyone hates cleaning up a blender with food that’s stuck on it.

So here’s the quick trick:

  1. Fill it up a quarter or half the way with warm water.
  2. Squeeze a bit of dish soap in.
  3. Blend.
  4. Rinse and it’s clean.

8. Clean When Doing Normal Everyday Tasks

So you know how you’ll do things like wash your face while taking a shower?

Do that but with cleaning.

Here Are a Few Examples:

  1. After washing your face at night, use that same cloth to clean up the sink and fossett.
  2. If you’re taking a shower, have a non-toxic spray ready to clean down the sides of the shower.
  3. Pick up a few pieces of clothing after getting dressed or undressed, and throw it in the hamper.
  4. If you’re already headed to the kitchen to grab a snack, take a mug or a plate with you.
