CUT VACUUMING TIME with a strategic pass

No one will notice what's under the couch or in low-traffic areas, so focus your vacuuming on the spots that get the most use, advises Karina Toner, operations manager at Spekless Cleaning.

For an easy upgrade, “a sprinkle of baking soda absorbs odors and leaves the carpet smelling fresher after vacuuming. It'll make the whole room feel cleaner.”
