We all want to finish housework and chores quickly and efficiently.

Fortunately, there are online videos available that teach unique cleaning hacks that can help you achieve maximum results with minimal effort.

The following tips are from professional housekeepers, so we know they work!

Use a Swiffer to clean mirrors and glass to get the job done faster and more efficiently.

Instead of using a Swiffer pad, attach a special glass cleaning cloth to your Swiffer.

Remember, don’t use a microfiber cloth which can leave lint or streaks on the mirror.

First, spray your mirror down with a foam-style glass cleaner then start wiping it with the Swiffer.

The whole process is faster compared to traditional cleaning and you don’t need to stretch your arms to reach the top areas of you mirror.
