Wipe Down Kitchen and Bathroom Surfaces Daily
The Problem
Kitchen counters are sticky. Bathroom sinks have toothpaste residue. Everything feels slightly grimy.
The Hack
After cooking: wipe kitchen counters with a cleaning spray. After morning routine: wipe bathroom counter and sink. Takes 30-60 seconds per room.
Why It Works
Daily light wiping prevents buildup that requires scrubbing. A quick spray and wipe on clean-ish surfaces takes 30 seconds. The same surfaces after a week of buildup take 10 minutes.
Pro Tips
- 30 seconds daily prevents 10 minutes of weekly scrubbing
- Keep cleaning spray and a cloth under each sink — maximum convenience
- Kitchen: wipe after every cooking session
- Bathroom: wipe after morning routine — 30 seconds
