what cleaning can you do in 5 minutes or less?

Clean my bathroom. That is the way I usually do it......on my way to the shower I start at the door and just clean my way in and into the shower. Then take all dirty towels on my way out. Do this a couple times a week and at least the bathroom is clean.

The rest?? wellllll....if you are counting getting the vac. out and put together and putting it away, then it would take more than 5. Could probably unload and re-load the dishwasher though....will have to time it.

I can't do any of these all together, but individually I can:

~unload the dishwasher
~wipe down the kitchen countertops
~vacuum the den
~vacuum the hallway & the master bedroom
~wipe down the batheroom countertops & clean the toilet
~make a bed
~put a load of laundry into the washer

yep, that's about it.

I can vacumn my little area rug in LR and make my bed and tidy up around. or just do the dishes from night before.

In 5 mins I can,
make the bed
put out the roomba
set off the dishwasher
& start the laundry.
I do this several times a week in just that order, in the am before I leave.
Then in another 5 mins, when I get home I can,
find & empty the roomba (my vaccuum)
move the clothes to the dryer & start it,
& put away the dishes.

because I work full time, my appliances are my heros!

I hand wash the dinner dishes in under 5 minutes. I put two cups of water in the microwave for mine & dh's nightly tea and set to washing dishes while the water heats up & the tea steeps. The microwave takes 3m10s for two cups and the tea steeps for 1 minute.

I can also vacuum my living room, dining room, office & bedroom area rugs in 5 minutes.

I can make my bed in five minutes.

I can declutter & wipe down my kitchen surfaces in 5 minutes (stove, table, small countertop)

i can declutter, fold laundry, do a load, pay a bill, lots of things, in 5 minutes.

i tend to do "the clean team" method of housecleaning. work your way round the room.
