The Cleaning Hack That Saves Time and Waste

I used to think that a clean house meant spending hours scrubbing, spraying, and cycling through five different products for five different surfaces. And I’ll be honest: I took a strange kind of pride in it — like suffering through cleaning was just part of being an adult. But somewhere along the way, I started to question that logic. Why did cleaning have to feel like punishment? Why did I need a shelf full of bottles that promised miracles but mostly just gave me a headache — from the smell, the effort, and the time? The truth is, most of us never learned how to clean efficiently. We just inherited routines. From our parents, from marketing, from habits we never questioned. But then I started noticing this shift — a quieter kind of cleaning culture. One that wasn’t about doing more, but doing smarter. Fewer products. Less waste. Less noise.

That’s when I came across a Swiss brand called Lamiso. They make these microfiber cloths that work with just water — no harsh chemicals, no residue, no streaks. I tried them out on a mirror first, skeptically. But to my surprise, it actually worked. Then on the stove. The shower glass. The kitchen counter. Same thing — clean, fast, done.

And I realized: it’s not just about cleaning cloths. It’s about the permission to stop overcomplicating something that doesn’t have to be that hard. We talk so much about decluttering our homes — but what about decluttering the way we clean? What if “clean enough” is enough? What if using one cloth and a little water could give us our Sunday afternoon back? When we stop treating our home like a project and start treating it like a place to live, everything softens. We stop trying to win at cleaning, and we start designing routines that serve us — not the other way around.

So maybe this week, simplify one thing. Swap the four-step process for a one-step one. Question a habit. Try the easier way — and see if it’s actually better. You might be surprised by how much time you free up. And more than that — by how much lighter your mind feels when your space feels easy. Talk to you next time.
