The Top Secret Ways to Clean Your House in a Flash!

I was at my uncle’s house in Suntrust Laguna last week and I have a really cool experience.

It was 2 in the afternoon when Uncle Kim’s phone rang. He answered it while yawning and suddenly, his face becomes serious. “Mom will be here in a couple of minutes!” he told me, referring to my grandmother.

Grandma is a disciplinarian and she wants things organized, clean and tidy. At that moment, Uncle K’s place is not. It’s all messy and the things are over the place (because we have a lot of fun earlier).

“What are we going to do?” he said. Then a bulb suddenly light up in his head and we did the “TOP SECRET WAYS TO CLEAN THE HOUSE in a FLASH! Here it goes.


The first step is DO NOT PANIC. He said this while taking a deep breath. The focus should be on the living room. We grab laundry baskets and put in there all the things that are not in their proper places like toys, pillows, blankets, shirts, basketball etc. All things that are not supposed to be in the living room throw it on the basket and hide it in a place that is not supposed to be checked, like a storage room.

Turn on the lights and spray cool scent.


The second step is to tackle the bathroom. Wash your hands in the sink. Use a nice and fragrant soap (beauty soap haha). Give the sink, the handles, faucets, and the basin a nice scrub-down with your hands. Get a rag and wipe it off. Use the same rag to wipe the mirror.

For the toilet, take a wipe and wipe it down of the handle, the top, and the bottom. Sprinkle a little of powdered soap or detergent in the toilet and scrub it, this time not with your hands but with a scrubber and don’t flush it. Leave it there. And lastly, spray some deodorizer and fragrant.


Last but not the least (definitely not!), attack the kitchen. Again we grab some laundry boxes, this time, I have a box and start stuffing. Same as what we did in the living room. For the dirty dishes, we put them in a basin and hide them under the sink. Uncle told me we’ll handle that later. Wipe down the table, the sink, the stove, and other things that might be in there. Lastly, sweep the floors. This is the last thing to do and only do this after all things have finished. This is the last priority. Again, spray that sweet scent.


These take us only 15 minutes I guess. Surprisingly, I didn’t imagine we can clean the house this fast. I asked Uncle K where he got the idea. He said from her girlfriend living in a lovely condo unit in Manila. She always does that when her parents are on a visit. Cool!
Minutes passed and Grandma arrives. She is so amazed how the house looks and how organized and clean it is. I am too was amazed. While Grandma is seated on the couch and drinks her coffee, Uncle K hands me his laptop and a video is playing. Here it is.




I believe this is the source of his top secrets on cleaning his house fast! Really cool!
