Been thinking about this because of what I just went through...and now my 'cleaning impaired' friend is starting this process because her MIL is not just coming, she's STAYING for ELEVEN days. *eyes buggin*

What are you best tips for cleaning something FAST or EFFICIENTLY?

I figure that even the best cleaners and organizers amongst us can learn something new. I know that I always welcome new ideas, especially if it makes a heinous task go faster/better/easier...

So what are your tips? Mindset? Priorities? Methods?
