What is the fastest way to clean a house?

It is all about maintenance

When it comes to home cleaning there are some short cuts I take to make the clean faster but that doesn’t necessarily make for a thoroughly clean home. There are all sorts of tutorials I can look at online for guidance, advising things such as ‘it’s easier than you think’, and ‘ten steps to cleaning your house in an hour’ or ‘clean your house fast’ – the simple way or my personal favourite; ‘how to clean your house quickly for unexpected guests.’ All is required for this is a basic walk through your place, wiping down benchtops and cupboards and things visible that look dirty or greasy such as fingerprints, don’t forget about emptying bins. These are all surface level cleans, not exactly a deep clean and probably not that much quicker anyway.

Dust gathers, and grime or mould builds and things that are not always visible make for a dirty place, these are the things that badly need attention when it comes to cleaning my place properly. This is measurably more time consuming and tiring to have to do routinely. I like to adhere to the ‘clean as you go’ type routine when it comes to home cleaning, and declutter at least once a week. I like to ‘keep it simple. So then when it comes time to do more of an in depth clean I don’t feel I am starting from scratch. It probably serves me better to clean the oven each time I use it and scrub it out and once a month gives it more of a deeper clean using an oven cleaner. I can set aside time on the weekend to spray when I don’t need the oven and then leave it for a couple of hours before I attend to it. Finding the time is near impossible and the smell is not pleasant but is there an easier and quicker way and one that is less toxic? I’m sure there is a ‘cleaning the oven 101’ – 10 steps to remove that fat from the roast a month previously.

As for the bathroom, I spray it over every other night and as well clean down the glass, mirrors and the sink. The toilet gets a thorough clean once a week and is also looked at daily, so it might need some disinfectant and toilet cleaner thrown in.

When it comes to dusting, it is something along with ironing that I do little of, even though I always threaten to do more, but I find it the least enjoyable job when it comes to cleaning. Personally I would prefer to clean the oven, rather than dusting. Home cleaning can be such a boring and monotonous chore, that when I make myself do it, I prefer to do it in increments. A little each time rather than a lot in one go. I’ve never understood people who vow that cleaning the house is therapeutic. Having a sauna or a spa is therapeutic definitely but cleaning, no, it’s not something I will be shouting to the rooftops, talking about the enjoyment it gives me.

However, even with the little amount of attention it still requires a larger job at least fortnightly. This involves vacuuming, mopping and sweeping, and can be quite time consuming. I really cannot afford to spend two hours cleaning on the weekend but I have to get up early and make myself do it, and the thought of it is something I try not to entertain.

Recently my vacuum cleaner broke and so I kept putting off buying a new one, ignoring the fact that my place hadn’t been cleaned in a while. It was almost like I was on holidays from cleaning my house. It felt great and I enjoyed time off from my fortnightly cleaning nightmare. I didn’t want my holiday to end. Then I heard about a home cleaning platform called Whizz. I was able to get someone to come to my place the next day and the great thing about it was that I didn’t have to be there for the clean.

More importantly for me is that they supplied all their own equipment and cleaning products, which it must be said is far superior to the cleaning products I had been using. My home now looks a million times cleaner than it has ever been and I am so impressed with this company, I now have my house cleaned every fortnight. It is a big relief not to have to clean each fortnight, and it has made me far happier as a result.

Of course I still maintain the place and do my bit, and particularly the kitchen cleaning. Having a professional clean my place each fortnight has been the best decision I have made. I would recommend it to everyone. Whizz carefully screens their cleaners, who have all had at least one year’s experience. They are all insured and police checked.

Once I thought I would give Whizz a try, all I had to do was download the App to my Apple phone and make a booking. It’s so easy and efficient and I didn’t have to wait on the phone. All the areas that are included in a clean are clearly stated and I was given a confirmation of the time and date of my clean via SMS. The price I was quoted is what I paid, and there were no hidden costs. There are also various discounts.

Whizz home cleaning is not only the fastest way to clean but they do a better job anyway. They will clean until your house looks beautiful, however long that takes. I spent more time stressed about the thought of cleaning and now Whizz have taken the stress away for me, I am happier, and have my weekend to myself to enjoy the things I like to do rather than hours spent vacuuming and mopping. I am yet to buy a vacuum cleaner.

What do house cleaning services offer?

You can customise your clean with the flexibility of Whizz

Choosing a home cleaning service to suit your particular needs can be so confusing and getting one to come on a certain day or even the next day, you might have to be lucky. How do you determine that all your needs will be met once you have decided to look for a cleaner? If you peruse the internet there are a vast number of cleaning services available to cater for a wide range of needs and you have certain parts of the house that you would like help to maintain, some of these aren’t included in many of the options.

There are so many questions regarding what house cleaning services offer and where to begin. What sort of cleans does a home cleaningcompany offer? Do you have to pay the cleaners by the hour, and is it safe to leave a key out so you can go to work? Do they give quotes and will this be the price you pay or will there be hidden extras that always seem to be added on? These are the sort of questions that can make the thought of seeking a cleaner frustrating. It’s like when you have to buy Christmas presents and you leave it to the last minute, and even though you have to buy gifts for relatives, walking around in the busy shopping centre is so daunting you end up not knowing what to get. Sometimes there are just too many options involved and your mind runs blank.

Deciding to have the regular home cleaning option is probably the first step. Then you can decide how often you want to use the services. Is it a one off clean you are seeking, or do you want your home cleaned on the same day, weekly, fortnightly or monthly? Many home cleaning services also offer End of Lease cleaning when vacating a premises requires a thorough clean in order to get your bond returned.

Whizz is a platform that has been in operation since 2014 and contracts professional cleaners who are carefully screened. All of those contracted out have at least one year’s professional cleaning experience as a minimum. The company is flexible and is interested in the happiness of their customers so they encourage open dialogue and feedback to ensure this. They offer residential, office and commercial cleans. Under residential cleans there are two types you can choose – an End of Lease – move out or move in clean, or the standard home clean. With the standard home clean there are options to have someone come to your home weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or as a ‘one off.’

If you decide to have help with home cleaning, areas included in a standard clean are the kitchen, living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms and the laundry. Your house will be mopped, dusted and vacuumed, and mirrors will be cleaned. Whizz is flexible, and if there are any extras you require that are not included, they are happy to customise your clean. You only need to advise them when you make a booking. They are available Australia wide and all contractors bring their own equipment and products to clean your place so you don’t have to worry about supplying anything.

When it comes to booking a clean no one really wants to wait on the phone as most of us lead busy lives that involves a juggling act where we are often multi- tasking. The great thing about the Whizz platform is that it can all be done on your mobile phone. You can make a booking in under a minute. There is an easy to download App that is available in Apple or via Google Play. You can find out the costing and choose the time and date of your clean. Once you make a booking you will be sent all of the details. There is no need to wait for someone to call you back.

One of the questions people ask repeatedly and are interested in when choosing a cleaning service is; how long does it take to clean and is payment charged by the hour? Whizz contractors will clean until your place looks and smells beautiful, however long this takes. There is nothing better than coming home to a perfectly cleaned house. This takes the burden off the monotonous chore of mopping, dusting and vacuuming and frees up your time to do other things. In the long run it equals more time for more enjoyable things and with Whizz you don’t have to supply any of the cleaning products which over time can add up. Also the contractors have the best cleaning aids to do the job properly.

Just as there are so many different types of cleaning products on the market, so are the choices of cleaning companies in operation. Whizz tick all the boxes in organising a clean, the sort of clean and how easy it is to speak to someone if needed. Whizz also offer ‘on demand’ services, so if you are desperate to have a same day clean, it is another service they are able to provide.

With the end of lease cleans there is a guarantee that you will get your bond back, so it is worthwhile choosing the sort of company that knows the areas to target so your bond goes back to you. If there is an area that is stopping you from the return of your bond, a contractor will return to the property to address. They have built up relationships with many property managers over the years and are fully versed in what is expected and what is of the standard expected when it’s time to leave the premises that has been your home.

The Whizz website is easy to navigate and all the information that you need to know about home cleaning, end of lease cleaning and more is clearly set out so you know exactly what to expect before your cleaner turns up.
