How to Get the Most Bang for Your Buff
5. Bolster the Bathroom
Nothing makes a bad impression like a dirty bathroom. For that reason, Reichart prioritizes the bathroom when she has limited time for cleaning. “You never want to suffer from ‘can’t have anyone over syndrome,’ so always keep the bathroom guests would use the cleanest. You can quick-clean a bathroom with two microfiber cloths and a spray bottle of gentle cleaner.” Wipe down the mirror, sink vanity and the outside of the toilet with a wet microfiber cloth, then bring in the microfiber mop used to “wash” your floors and your bathroom will be sparkling clean.

When you’re constantly maintaining your baseline, your home will look better year round … not just in the spring.
