CLEANING your home is something most of us leave until the end of the week.

But according to one cleaning whizz, Neat Caroline, from New York, there are five things you can do right away that not only will keep the space tidy but will also save you time in the long run.

The TikTok-famous cleaning expert took it to social media to share the video of her tips, which she promised would make your life easier…

Make the bed

With a lengthy list of adult responsibilities to deal with, cleaning first thing in the morning is something nobody wants to do.

However, Caroline, who also revealed a five-step plan for decluttering, reminded that one of the key things to an always-clean home is a tidy bed.

To avoid piles of paper sitting by the door, the cleaning whizz said: ''Sort through your mail as soon as you receive it and recycle your junk mail.''

However, despite some thanking for the useful tips, some critics claimed that making your bed right after you wake up is a major mistake.
