10 indispensable cleaning tips for busy mothers

Dear fellow mother, your schedule is packed. Between work, school runs, sports clubs, and putting food on the table, there’s little time left for cleaning. Yet your home can feel fresh and radiant with a few smart habits (and the right tools). In this article, you’ll get 10 practical cleaning tips for mothers – light, doable, and above all: time-saving. We subtly plug a few favorites, like The Pink Stuff (bundles), because they really save you time and effort. Put on some nice music and let’s go!

1. Short daily mini-routine (10–15 min)

Don’t wait until the weekend. Plan 10–15 minutes daily for small tasks: wipe the counter, clean the table, check the trash bin, dry the bathroom wall. Use one all-rounder so you don’t have to switch: a multi-surface spray from The Pink Stuff Ultimate Cleaning Set. With a few Scrub Daddy cloths/sponges, you’ll make quick progress.

2. Keep cleaning supplies within reach

“Out of sight = out of mind.” Place a grab-&-go set in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet: spray + microfiber cloth + brush. A basket in the bathroom with foam and cloth saves minutes every day. Tip: for lime/soap residue, use The Pink Stuff Bathroom Foam (anti-drip, fast results).

3. Multitask smartly (use waiting time)

• Coffee brewing? Empty the dishwasher.
• Water boiling? Wipe counter & stove with the spray from your Ultimate Cleaning Set.
• Bedtime story? Let toilet gel work; brush after reading.

By fitting cleaning tasks into breaks, it doesn’t feel like “extra work.”

4. Clean-as-you-go in the kitchen

Start and end with a clear counter. While cooking: peelings away immediately, cutting board in the dishwasher, spray splashes right away. For greasy spots, the kitchen cleaner from Fabulosa is great: Fabulosa Spotless Kitchen. Save the real scrubbing for later (or better: not needed at all).

5. Let products do the work

Spray, let 2–10 minutes work, and wipe lightly afterwards. In the bathroom, foam topper The Pink Stuff Bathroom Foam works wonderfully on shower walls, taps, and tiles. In the kitchen: let oven dish/microwave steam, then wipe with your all-purpose from the Ultimate Cleaning Set.

6. Involve the family – make it a game

A 10-minute tidy-up challenge after dinner with a timer works wonders. Giving kids their own cloth or duster really helps. Put a “tidy basket” in the living room: everything lying around goes in, sort together later. With cheerful tools (hi, Scrub Daddy!) chores feel less like “must do.”

7. Work room-by-room, top to bottom

First the high work (cabinets, lamps), then surfaces (tables/windowsills), then only the floor. For glass/mirrors, choose a glass cleaner from the Pink range (found via Pink Stuff bundles) and a lint-free cloth. Saves rework from falling dust.

8. Declutter & organize (less mess = less cleaning)

Every extra knickknack is a dust magnet. Work with baskets/boxes and label. Toy basket closed before bed = living room presentable in 60 seconds. Smart cabinet space: daily items in front, seasonal items on top. Whoever moves less, cleans faster.

9. Invest in smart tools

• Microfiber cloths — absorb a lot of dirt, washable, streak-free. See Scrub Daddy cleaning cloths.
• Scrub Daddy/ Mommy — hard in cold water (scrubbing), soft in warm (wiping). Full collection: Scrub Daddy & Mommy.
• Set deals — save time and money with ready-made The Pink Stuff bundles.

10. Make it fun for yourself

Music on, comfortable outfit, scent in the house. Reward yourself with 15 minutes of me-time after a “power half hour.” A nice floor cleaner or foam spray from your Pink Stuff set gives an instant “spa feeling.”

Quick hacks per room (bonus)

Kitchen

• Microwave: bowl of water + lemon steam for 3–5 min; then lightly wipe with your all-purpose spray from the Ultimate Cleaning Set.
• Oven: baked-on? Soak, then gently scrub with a sponge from Scrub Daddy.
• Extractor hood: soak filters in hot soapy water; wipe housing. Bundle with cream/all-purpose cleaner found in Pink Stuff bundles.
• Fridge: lukewarm water + bit of soda; for odor booster: Fabulosa kitchen cleaner Spotless Kitchen.

Bathroom

• Showerhead: descale with vinegar or use Bathroom Foam for soap residue and shine.
• Tiles & grout: spray, let work 5–10 min, brush, rinse; follow up with microfiber cloth (Scrub Daddy cloths).
• Toilet: apply gel under the rim, let work; brush and done. Complete set? See The Pink Stuff Ultimate Cleaning Set.
• Shower glass & mirrors: glass cleaner from your bundle (via bundles) + dry cloth = streak-free.
