Everybody loves a quick fix. I know I do. So today’s post is quick and easy. Here is a list of things you can do in ten minutes or less that will improve your home. These things frequently get forgotten or put off, but they all make a big impact from little effort.
What can you do in ten minutes or less?
1. Dust your lamps with a lint roller.
2. Vacuum your mattress. (Not kidding!)
3. Throw out any food in the refrigerator that is old or out of date.
4. Shine your sink.
6. Wash the doorknobs (betcha didn’t know they’re the dirtiest place in your house!)
7. Freshen up the trash disposal in your sink. (I drop in some coffee grounds or a lemon peel and turn on the mechanism for a few seconds. Works like a charm!)
8. Weed your DVD or Blu-ray collection.
10. Throw out junk mail. (Hint: I trash it as soon as I bring it in the house!)
Happy organizing!

Thank you so much for these tips. I love how simple and easy they are do and quick to do especially when you have company coming over and need that spurt real quick.
I am always forgetting the door knobs at home, I always open them with something when out not sure why I would think home would be cleaner. Especially with the 4 kids.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad they’ve been helpful.
