At Home with Bounty

The everyday rush most of us face may cause us to neglect to clean some areas of the house. House chores performed during the week may sometimes feel as though they may never end. Luckily, with a few simple steps and a couple of extra minutes during your daily routines, cleaning house tidy will likely become much easier.

What You'll Need:

• Bounty paper towels
• Baking soda
• A measuring cup
• A toilet brush
• A sponge
• A vacuum cleaner
• Large laundry baskets

Instructions:

1. Take a Bounty paper towel and wipe any mess in the refrigerator as soon as you notice it. Take another minute or two to clean the bottoms of any dripping jars or even the entire shelf.
2. When taking out cooking ingredients, look at all the expiration dates. Set aside anything expired and any old leftovers and toss them out.
3. Beat the morning rush by setting out the table for breakfast just before going to bed. You can do this by leaving out all non-perishable items you plan on using for breakfast, such as cereal boxes and sugar.
4. While on the phone, clean out your purse, junk drawer, or any nearby surfaces.
5. Have everyone use Bounty paper towels to wipe down the sink, mirror, and counter after they have shaved or brushed their teeth. This will prevent a buildup that may be harder to clean later.
6. Between using the toilet and taking a shower, sprinkle a quarter cup of baking soda in the toilet. Scrub around once and flush for a quick clean.
7. When checking the mail, toss out all junk mail immediately. If a new magazine or catalogue comes in, go through your pile and toss out a few of the outdated issues.
8. Vacuum the areas of the floor that are frequently used. Save the rest for your weekly cleanup.
9. Before bed, make sure the family room is tidy. Put remote controls away, fluff pillows, and refold throw blankets.
10. Sort the laundry ahead of time during the week. Cut down laundry day by doing one or two quick washes during the week.
11. Assign each family member one daily cleaning task. It can be gathering dishes left in other rooms, taking care of the trash bins around the house, or any other similar task that will make cleaning house simpler for everyone.
