How to spend ZERO time cleaning – win a free cleaning for a year!

November 11th, 2014

Today’s blog post comes to us courtesy of Airtasker, a community marketplace for people to outsource tasks, find local services or complete flexible jobs to earn money.

Did you know that on average you spend 200 hours per year cleaning? That’s the equivalent of watching the movie Titanic 62 times or going on 145 flights between Sydney and Melbourne.

While neither the Titanic nor flying that often may interest you, we bet there are plenty of other things that you can do with that extra time.

Here’s how to spend zero time cleaning:

Recruit your kids

Household chores are something that many of us are familiar with growing up. It’s great for kids at any age to pitch in and help you out around the house. At first they might start with small tasks, wiping tables for example, but as they get older they can tackle bigger tasks such as washing the car.

Even babies can help out …

Clean up as you go

Ok, so it’s not “100% no cleaning”, but if you mop up messes as they occur and throw away food as it expires, you’ll spend hardly any time cleaning the entire house.

When you’re looking after these little cleaning jobs (before they turn into big jobs), it’s important to always use the right tools, so you don’t end up wearing yourself out without seeing any tangible results. Appliances Online’s Top 10 Products for Spring Cleaning can be a big help.

Robots

With a robot vacuum, you’ll never have to navigate around the house again! Just put this Samsung Navibot vacuum cleaner on every few days and job done. You’ll be amazed at how good it is around the house.

Hire an Airtasker

Hiring someone to clean your home on Airtasker will not only save you time, but better yet they’ll come exactly when you need them to.
