Clean Smarter, Not Harder: Aussie Cleaning Habits That’ll Change Your Week

If you’ve ever spent your Sunday scrubbing the kitchen and thought, “There’s got to be an easier way”—you’re right.

These game-changing cleaning habits will help you stay on top of your home without the drama (or the harsh fumes).

With the right products—like the Bushby range Aussie cleaners have trusted since 1975—you can keep your home sparkling and fresh in just a few minutes a day.

1. Wipe the Day Away

• Before you clock off for the night, give your kitchen benches and bathroom counters a quick once-over.
• Our Housemaid Spray & Wipe is perfect for this—dilute it 1:10 and wipe away the day’s chaos.
• In the bathroom, try a spritz of MediClean to disinfect and deodorise. It’s strong on germs but gentle on you (and safe for septic systems).

🧼 Pro tip: Keep a microfiber cloth hanging near each sink so it’s easy to do a 30-second wipe-down before bed.

2. The Laundry Habit You’ll Thank Yourself For

• No one loves staring at Mount Washmore on the weekend.
• Make it a habit to toss dirty gear straight in the hamper and start small loads during off-peak times (in QLD, that’s usually 10 pm–7 am).
• Our PowerClean Laundry Concentrate works wonders even on cold cycles—fresh clothes, no wasted energy.

3. Living Room Reset: 2-Minute Zen

• Before you call it a night, spend two minutes putting things back where they belong—remote on the table, cushions fluffed, candles straightened.
• A clean space helps you switch off mentally too.
• If you’ve got sticky little fingerprints on your coffee table or TV unit, a spray of Lemon Fresh will leave everything smelling clean, not chemical.

4. Your Secret Weapon: The Cleaning Caddy

• Every Aussie home needs one!
• Stock a portable caddy with your go-to Bushby products—Balance Probiotic Cleaner, GR500 Degreaser, MediClean, and a few good cloths.
• That way, when the kids spill Milo or the BBQ gets greasy, you’re armed and ready.

5. Stop Mess at the Door

• Shoes track in dirt, pesticides, and whatever mystery gunk’s on the footpath.
  Keep a shoe basket by the entry and a bottle of Multi-Purpose Cleaner handy for quick floor spot-cleans.
• If you’ve got pets, try Balance—it’s probiotic, non-toxic, and keeps your floors safe for paws and little feet.

6. Table Rule: Clear It or Lose It

• Your dining table isn’t a storage unit. The moment paperwork or lunchboxes start piling up, clutter takes over.
• Keep Delete Mould or Mould Master close by for wooden or tiled tables near windows—sunshine and moisture can trigger sneaky mould patches before you even notice.

7. The ‘Junk Basket’ Miracle

• Grab a nice basket or crate and do a daily five-minute “dump run.”
• Anything that doesn’t belong in a room goes in the basket. Once it’s full—sort it.
  A small habit that’ll save hours of weekend chaos.

8. The Two-Second Toilet Trick

• Twice a week, squirt a bit of MediClean around the toilet bowl and under the seat.
• For a deep clean (and if mould loves your bathroom), give it a spray with Delete Mould—let it sit, rinse, done.
• No harsh bleach smell, and it’s septic-safe too.

9. Shower Power: Keep It Gleaming

• After every shower, give the glass a quick wipe or spray.
• Shower Pro is your secret weapon here—it cuts through soap scum and hard water without scrubbing.
• For mould prevention in grout or silicone, hit it with Mould Master once a week, then maintain it using Balance for long-lasting results.

10. End the Day with a Sink That Smiles

There’s nothing worse than waking up to a sink full of dishes.
Wash up or stack the dishwasher before bed, and finish with a quick wipe of Housemaid.
It makes your mornings calmer and your kitchen feel instantly fresher.

11. 5-Minute Nightly Blitz

Before you sit down for Netflix or head to bed, set a timer for five minutes.
Pick up clutter, spray a few hot spots (like the sink or benchtop), and put things away.
You’ll be surprised how much cleaner your home feels just from this small daily reset.
