A five-minute daily clean that actually sticks

Quick clean in a kitchen

The easiest clean is the one you don't put off. Five minutes a day is enough to keep floors under control.

Keep it where you can see it

A vacuum in a cupboard gets used once a week. One that stands on its own in the hallway gets used every day.

Do the busy spots first

Kitchen floor, front door, under the dining table. That's where most of the mess lands.

Set a timer

Five minutes, then stop. It's easier to start when you know it ends.

Empty as you go

Empty the bin when it's half full. Suction stays strong and nothing spills out.
