We know your lives are really busy. You have jobs, you may have kids, and you may just be enjoying the Logan Summer. But one thing is for certain, houses get messy and there may not always be time to clean.
We have come up with ten cleaning hacks that will hopefully make your life easier and hopefully get that cleaning done faster.
Keep A Checklist
Keep a checklist of all the chores that you need to get done that day. This way you shouldn’t have to constantly stress about what needs to be done today or tomorrow.
All you have to do is check your list, complete that item, and check it off for the day’s task.
Use Age Appropriate Chore Charts
With the same idea of the checklist, create a “Chore Chart” for your kids. A simple table made in Mircosoft Word should do the trick to hang on the fridge. You could also add fun images and check off the chores being done with a sticker to add a little more fun to accomplish the chore.
Clean With Up-Beat Music
Create a playlist of music that you really enjoy and just jam out and get lost in the music cleaning. You are having fun rather than focusing on being boring and cleaning. Creating a “kids” playlist to also get your kids involved wouldn’t be such a bad idea either.
Meal Prep
If you have a busy week ahead, and you know it, try meal prepping to save time and save any dinner messes that would normally occur. Set a day, the week before, and plan out meals, make them, and freeze them. Now you have dinner made for every day and all you have to clean up is a few dishes.
Clean Up Right After, Don’t Wait
This hack is a simple one. If you make a mess, clean it up right after you make it. We are all responsible adults, right? Alright, let’s be honest, we can’t be responsible all the time. But just making the effort and beginning the habit of picking up after yourself can make a world of difference when you actually have to clean.
De-clutter Your Home Often
Have you ever heard the phrase, “If it brings you joy, keep it. If it doesn’t bring you joy then throw it out?” De-clutter your house of the many things that do NOT bring you “joy.” This helps to keep a clean, neat, and organized home.
Magic Erasers
Magic Earasers can literally be your best cleaning friend. They can clean almost anything. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep a few of these around the house for any cleaning situation. Trust us, they do wonders.
Multi-Task On the Phone
If you are on the phone talking to a loved one or just chatting up a friend, multi-task and clean something while you are talking. It doesn’t have to be something big, maybe just tidying up the living room or the kitchen while you talk can be a big step forward in the long run. On the flip side, you could set aside one day to disconnect from the phone or technology and use the time to clean or prepare yourself for cleaning
Use Baskets and Containers To Store
Do you have any small baskets or containers? Use them to store toys, miscellaneous items, or junk that does not have a place in the house. The basket can be a great way to store and organize things which can be easily stored in a compact place.
Use Easy To Clean Household Items
You really do not need all those harmful and expensive cleaning chemicals to clean your home. You probably have some household items that would do the trick such as lemons, baking soda, and vinegar. All these items have great cleaning properties to clean your house chemical-free.
