other) to take pride in their home by
taking responsibility to each keep up
with a few simple tasks so your home
never becomes a disaster zone.
CLR cleaning experts shared top tips
to help you make the most of your time
and clean more efficiently:

1-­ Figure out who likes
doing what best.
If someone prefers to handle the yard
work and the kids love polishing silver or
unloading the dishwasher, divide it up so
the act of doing chores doesn’t seem
as tedious. Or, designate a family
cleaning day and clarify who will be
doing what and when.

2-­ Pre-­game.
Before the big day, assign each
person a room to prep so that once you
attack with your gloves on and product
in hand, you’re not wasting precious
time and energy figuring out what goes
in the junk drawer, what should be
thrown out and what should be kept.

3-­ Multitask.
Several products can do double (if
not triple) duty. Take for example CLR. It
works on showerheads, porcelain,
chrome, glassware, fiberglass, stainless

steel and grout, and can even remove
sprinkler spots on outdoor windows and
remove stains and mold smells from
your washing machine. Grease Magnet
cleans grills, smokers and tenacious
garage floor stains and Stone Cleaner
brings the sparkle back to delicate, hardto-clean surfaces like granite, marble,
Corian and tile.

4-­ Get the hardest part out
of the way rst.
Medical professionals are taught to
sanitize a room by starting with the
dirtiest area and working toward the
cleanest, and you should do the same.
Tackle the most time-consuming areas
(scum-soaked shower doors, greasy
grills, or dirt and dust on top of fans)
first and then work toward the less timeintensive ones.

5-­ Create rewards or foster
healthy competition with kids.
For enterprising children, showing
them how you can find silver
“treasures” and polish them to sparkle
is a great way to get kids involved. You
can even make it a game by suggesting
that the person who can get an old
piece of silver the shiniest will be
awarded a prize.
