For quick and efficient cleaning, there is a clever technique used by housekeepers and you too can adopt it.
Cleaning is an art and professionals know a lot about it to save time and efficiency on all small cleaning tasks. Almost everyone knows the hassle of a cloth that has to be rinsed every two minutes because it quickly becomes dirty. After a while, rinsing is no longer even sufficient and you generally have to change it to continue dusting without leaving traces. But that was before knowing the simple trick to save time and avoid washing more rags than necessary.
If you thought there weren’t thirty-six ways to use a cloth, you’d be wrong. Housekeepers know that by using it correctly not only will they save time, but the surfaces will also be much cleaner. How do they do it? They simply fold their cloth in a clever way before dusting the surfaces. This way, each piece of the cloth is only used once and when it is saturated with dust, you just have to move on to the next one. This is the infinite folding technique.
To carry out the folding, prefer a large rectangle cloth, but know that the technique works with any piece of fabric that you will use for cleaning the house. As you can see in the video at the beginning of the article, simply start by folding the fabric in half upwards, then fold it towards the side, and in half again upwards. To use, once the first side is dirty, turn it over to pass the back of the fold. You then use the new clean side which you will also turn over once it is too dirty. As a result, you end up with several small cloths and you will not need to rinse it on your first pass over the dusty surface.
The idea is to optimize the use of the cloth by increasing the usable surfaces before having to rinse or wash it. The infinite folding allows you to obtain eight different cleaning surfaces. It’s a simple and effective technique, especially when you want to save time by avoiding interrupting cleaning to constantly rinse.
