I’m a cleaning whizz – my five-step routine to give your house a spring clean in under an hour

"The key to a quick spring clean is to focus on the areas that matter the most and to work efficiently," she explains.

"With these tips, you can give your home a refresh in under an hour..."

Declutter

Emily begins by noting that before you start to tackle the dirt and grime, it's important to take five-ten minutes to declutter.

"This will help to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed before you even begin," she explains.

"Pick up any items which are out of place and pop them back where they belong - and remember the old adage; ‘A place for everything and everything in its place.'"

The cleaning whizz goes on say this is also a good opportunity to throw out anything that's no longer required or needs replacing.

"This important step will help you focus on cleaning rather than tidying and organising as you go," she says.

High-traffic spots

Next, Emily recommends hunting out the high-traffic areas that are used the most.

"These are the areas such as the kitchen, living room and bathrooms which see a lot of action (particularly if there are a number of people living in your household), and which will, therefore, require the most attention and time," she says.
