Trying to maintain your home’s cleanliness is a daily battle, one that’s often lost to kids’ sports schedules, cooking healthy meals and getting everyone’s clothes ready for the next day.
In between the chaos of every day, when is there time to make real family memories? Well, we’re setting you a total home reset challenge, and it’s only going to take an hour, giving you plenty of time to bond and relax as a family.
So, are you ready to take on the one-hour home refresh challenge?
One-hour home cleaning challenge
Step one: Dinner prep
Getting the kids to sit, eat and enjoy a healthy meal can be challenging, but one thing they’ll never turn down is a crispy schnitzel with chips or golden pork belly bites. So, save your air fryer recipe inspo, prep your ingredients on a Sunday evening and let midweek meals be a fuss-free breeze.
Best part about it? Once you’ve popped everything in your Tefal Dual Easy Fry Flex Air Fryer, you can move on to your next cleaning prep step.
Time taken: 20 minutes
Step two: Laundry solutions
No one wants to take the ironing board out, but we also don’t want to send our family off to work and school in a crumpled outfit. So, the quick and easy solution? Tefal’s AeroSteam Handheld Garment Steamer. The handheld steamer delivers iron-like results in a fraction of the time and energy. With multiple speed options and only a 30-second heat-up time, the 100ml water tank can easily get through four shirts, perfect for a speedy next-day outfit layout.
Time taken: 12 minutes
Step three: Quick vacuum
A few days into the week and the floor is already spotted with sticky patches, dust and pet hair? Not to mention kids’ chaos. So, while you’re prepping dinner, get the kids to pick up their toys so that you’ve got a clear run when it comes to doing the floor. Tefal’s X‑Clean 7 Cordless Vacuum and Floor Washer is unbelievably lightweight (less than a kilo) and a breeze to manoeuvre thanks to the self-propelled motion, because no one needs the added workout of a heavy vacuum. Not to mention, you can move from carpet to hard flooring without needing to change tools.
Time taken: 15 minutes
Step four: Surface wipe
Once the clothes are pressed and hung up, and dinner is underway, this is your moment to do a quick surface wipe down. Keep the kitchen nice and tidy by putting away any dishes you used for dinner prep, and a quick midweek bathroom surface wipe down will save you from needing to do a full deep clean on the weekend.
Time taken: 8 minutes
And that’s it. Less than one hour and you’ve got a tidy home and everyone sorted for the next day. All that’s left to do is to sit down and enjoy dinner together as a family. And maybe if the kids have been good, crack out the Tefal Dolci Black Knight Ice Cream Maker for a sweet treat after dinner (it only takes 90 seconds to clean down). Because after all, it’s the family time spent enjoying delicious dinners and treats that are going to be the centre of stories to be told for years to come. And the secret ingredient to the one hour cleaning hack are the trusted, innovative and seriously chic French-designed Tefal home appliances. Because having quality tools is half the cleaning battle, and a quick midweek reset is all about doing things smarter.
In partnership with Tefal, the quiet “secret ingredient” caring for homes for 70 years with French innovation across cooking, garment care and floor care, supporting everyday routines with long‑lasting, reliable performance.
