One of the bright sides of living in a small apartment is the amount of time you require to spend on cleaning. Smaller spaces require less time to clean. This is just for those who hate cleaning – read on for the perfect solution.

What You Need
If you need a quick job done, you need to have all the cleaning supplies near you. Trash bags, microfibre cleaning cloths, a mop, a vacuum – you name it. If you don’t have these already but you’re living in Colombo at an apartment such as TRI-ZEN or similar others, these can be purchased within a matter of minutes.
Step One
Start by collecting items that need to be cleaned. Collect garbage in trash bags and the things you need to keep in tubs. Spray bathroom fixtures with a mixture of water, dish soap, and vinegar (or foaming bathroom cleaner). Let this sit while you clean the rest of your apartment.
Step Two
Clean the rest of the apartment by dampening your microfibre cloth and wiping down all the surfaces – these include the counters, desks, shelves, window sills, etc. Spray the surfaces that you use for food with the dish soap, vinegar, and water mixture before wiping them down. After that, vacuum the floor of your apartment to get rid of dust.
Step Three
After dusting, it’s time to mop! If you find any stubborn stains that just won’t let go, spray the dish soap, vinegar, and water mixture on them and scrub with a microfibre cloth. Afterward, tackle the bathroom by wiping down all the surfaces with the microfibre cloth. Now, return the things to their shelves and throw out your garbage bags.
