Almost everyone struggles with home cleaning at one time or another… schedules change, holidays happen and well let’s face it – it’s not difficult to lose motivation. Before you know it, household cleaning has gotten behind schedule and catching up seems like a mammoth task. There is however one foolproof way of keeping your house clean, all the time. And here it is:
A little goes a long way
No matter how big or small your living space, doing a little every day means no more cleaning marathons on a Monday or even worse, the weekend. It’s easy to get discouraged by huge cleaning tasks, or trying to clean your home from top to bottom in one single day. That’s why doing a little every day, is such a manageable way of cleaning your home on-the-go, bringing you peace of mind when the all-important weekend comes round.
A routine that rocks
It’s easy to say you’re going to do a little bit of cleaning every day, but not so easy to keep to that promise. Falling back on old habits, or worse – doing no cleaning during the week at all – happens. The answer is to create a routine that works specifically for you. Find a time of day you can set aside for cleaning – it needn’t be more than 15 to 30 minutes. A particularly good time is when everyone else is either sleeping or out.
Family time
Household cleaning can also double as family time. Apart from your weekday cleaning routine, have a set time for weekend cleaning when the rest of the family can help out. It means you can choose one day in the week when you do no cleaning at all.
Write a cleaning rota to help keep everyone accountable and remind them of what they have to do (very few people of us genuinely have no time for household cleaning). Admitted, cleaning isn’t the most exciting part of the day… but think of the rewards.
