The faster you get your cleaning done, the more time you’ll have to spend time with friends and family. The trick to quick cleaning is to have a system and to stick to it. Set a time limit for each room and you’ll be finished before you know it. Follow these tips for quick and efficient cleaning!

• Keep up with daily cleaning tasks to help maintain your home's tidiness. By doing simple tasks every day, the cleaning will be much easier and not be so overwhelming.
• Use a tote or bucket to keep all your cleaning supplies in. You can bring this from room to room and you won’t need to waste time searching for the supplies you need.
• Use a vacuum to clean all of your floor surfaces. You should also use an extension cord for the vacuum to allow you to reach multiple areas without taking the time to keep plugging it in.
• On your shower walls and door, use a squeegee after every use. This will prevent soap scum and water spots later on.
• Focus on what you are cleaning and cut out anything that might distract you, e.g., your phone and the TV!

Cipollina was established in 1999 and has since grown into the well respected restaurant that it is today. The restaurant has a rustic ambiance and a neighborhood feel that makes you always feel welcome.

The menu at Cipollina features classic and authentic Italian dishes, like pastas, locally sourced entrees, and their unique wood-fired pizzas. The kale salad is bursting with flavor and has a lemon zest, tart cherries, and crunchy pistachios to top it off. Be sure to try their signature Cipollina pizza, which is cooked in a wood-fired oven and includes mushrooms, sweet onion compote, balsamic and chevre. Be sure to save room for tiramisu for dessert!

With all of the food sourced locally, you can tell that they put a lot into their meals and make sure to find the freshest ingredients they can.
