Speed-cleaning isnât about rushingâitâs about using the right system. According to Menage Total, cutting your cleaning time in half starts with structure, consistency, and smart techniques.
When you clean the same way every timeâroom by room, top to bottom, left to rightâyou eliminate wasted motion, repeated work, and unnecessary effort.
âThe routine is the technique. Speed comes from the system, not from hustling,â explains Menage Total.
Below is the Menage Total Speed-Cleaning Method, used by professional housekeepers across Canada.
Never clean randomly.
â Start at the highest point in the room (ceiling fans, vents, shelves)
â Work downward toward the floor
â Move left to right to cover every surface once
Why it works:
Dust always falls downward
You avoid re-cleaning freshly wiped surfaces
You finish faster with better results
For streak-free glass and mirrors:
Use glass cleaner + microfiber cloth
Wipe with straight horizontal strokes
Avoid circles, newspapers, or paper towels (they leave residue)
đĄ Pro tip: Keep all supplies within armâs reach.
Menage Total recommends:
A cleaning caddy, bucket, or tool belt
Small spray bottles instead of bulky containers
Just like a tradesperson carries tools, cleaners should never walk back and forth for supplies.
The fastest clean is the one you never have to do.
â Use a daily shower spray after bathing
â No scrubbing requiredâspray and walk away
â Prevents soap scum, mold, and hard-water stains
For dusting:
Use a high-quality feather duster (ostrich feather preferred)
Ideal for blinds, frames, corners, and quick maintenance
For heavy buildup, vacuum firstâthen maintain with dusting
Kitchen grease builds up fastâespecially near stoves.
1 tablespoon dish soap
1 gallon warm water
â Test in a hidden area first
â Wipe with a sponge or cloth
â Rinse with clean warm water
For stubborn grease:
Make a paste of baking soda + water
Gently scrub problem areas
This method is safe, effective, and budget-friendly.
