Tricks to help keep the house clean at all times.

Tricks to help keep the house clean at all times.

Let’s face it, housework sucks! So, from some ‘Cleaning Experts’ and a few ideas of our own, here’s some ways to help keep your house clean!

1. Keep Supplies in other rooms: We usually keep cleaning supplies in just one or two locations in the house. Try keeping a few essentials in as many rooms as possible such us towels and dusters.
2. Gather & Redistribute: Instead of one thing at a time, get a basket or box and toss everything that doesn’t belong in the room you’re cleaning. When done, redistribute the items to the proper locations.
3. Manage the Work: Assign certain tasks or rooms to certain days of the week. This helps with kids and assigning daily or weekly chores around the home.
4. Make Your Bed Immediately: As soon as your feet hit the ground and before that first cup of coffee, make the bed. Doing this for a few weeks will have you in a routine much like brushing your teeth and getting dressed.
5. Don’t Procrastinate: Get things done immediately. As soon as the clothes get out of the dryer, fold and put away. Dealing with things ‘later’ only leads to disorganization and clutter.
6. Get Motivated Your Way: Blast your favorite tunes (or radio station!) or set goals like time limits and reward yourself or others when the tasks get completed on time.
7. Invite People Over: Seriously! … it’s usually when you focus and clean the house the best so invite people over more often!
