Redditor CordCarillo shared the cleaning hack in a viral post.

Their nightly routine went a long way and required items most people likely have on hand.

“A commercial mop bucket and mop,” they said.

“I leave it with fresh, soapy water and run it over all my floors before I go to bed at night.”

The simple trick takes them just 15 minutes but saves them a lot of hassle.

“I don’t have to worry about staining my socks or dog hair floating through the air,” they said.

The Redditor revealed that other cleaning habits greatly impacted their cleaning workload.

Instead of saving all their laundry to do in one go, they explained that a nightly laundry session took just a few minutes and kept their clothes in order.

“I do a load of laundry every evening. Five minutes to start, 5-10 minutes to fold and put away,” they said.

Cleaning as they went was also huge to prevent messes in their home.

“Wiping things down before I leave a room. unloading the dishwasher while coffee is brewing,” they added.

Efficiency is key to even cleaning after meals and cooking.

A trick that saved them time and money is meal-prepping, limiting how much cleaning they have to do between meals.

Instead of washing the dishes after preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, their trick streamlined the process.
