Everyone loves a clean apartment, but most people do not love cleaning. If you’re one of the latter individuals, you’re in luck! You don’t have to be a cleaning connoisseur to clean your apartment well.

There are many “cheat codes” and cleaning tips to clean your apartment as quick as possible. First off, divide your tasks into daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly chores. With discipline, this will help you create a habit of efficient, effective cleaning.

Next, if you live with roommates, divide the chores evenly. This will help you keep clean and make sure everyone pulls their weight around the apartment.

If your roommate is messier than you (and vice-versa), figure out why they (or you) are messy. Sometimes, the reason for a mess is deeper than what the eye can see.

Lastly, ensure you’re using your appliances to their full potential. You may be scrubbing dishes that could be placed in the dishwasher. Perhaps you’re air-drying clothes that could be thrown in the dryer.

Furthermore (almost everyone is guilty of not using this cheat code), fully utilize your dishwasher. Dishwashers can clean much more than what you think, so use the cheat codes and heed all the cleaning tips you hear!
