Wouldn’t it be nice if our homes just stayed clean all the time, without us having to lift a finger? Maybe someday someone will figure out how to make that a reality, but for now we all have to do our part to make sure that our homes stay clean. Sunny Cleaning can certainly help you out with weekly, bi-weekly or monthly cleanings, but you can make your life a lot easier with some basic maintenance between appointments.
Here are 5 great cleaning tips from Detroit’s best house cleaning service…
1. Get Into the Cleaning Mindset
This is best accomplished once you’ve had your initial deep cleaning. You’ll see your house in its best possible state, and that’s a great starting point as far as getting into the cleaning “zone”. Think about how good it feels to have a thoroughly clean, fresh smelling home and how happy you will be if this is the case all year round. No piled up dishes, no clutter on the floor, no dusty furniture, no overflowing clothes hamper…sounds nice right? Well, you can accomplish that by getting into the cleaning mindset. In fact, cleaning actually has positive effects on your mental health.
2. Make House Cleaning Part of Your Daily Routine
Once you’re in the cleaning mindset, focus on making cleaning a regular part of your everyday routine. Just like you brush your teeth, get the kids ready for school, go to work, make dinner, etc. try to incorporate some cleaning chores as well. Set aside some time each day, even if it’s just half an hour, and dedicate that time to a particular room or problem area. You can vary it as well, and do a little at a time so it’s not overwhelming. Perhaps Monday is kitchen day, Tuesday is living room day, Wednesday is bathroom day, etc. Or you can pick a specific target like your refrigerator or dishes. It may take some getting used to, but once you get into the routine it will become a regular part of your day.
3. Assign Everyone a Specific Task
If there are other members of your household, get them into the action as well. Why do it all yourself? You can create a schedule and assign everyone a particular room or area that they are responsible for. Older family members can help with the more involved tasks like cleaning the bathrooms or doing the dishes. But the younger ones can do their part as well…maybe cleaning up their rooms or making sure that all clothes are placed in the hampers and not all over the floor. You can even make it fun by seeing how quickly they can do their chores, and even offering rewards for doing a great job.
4. Have Helpful Supplies On Hand
It’s a lot easier to clean when you have everything you need to do a good job. We always bring our own supplies to every appointment, but it’s great to have your own cleaning products and implements for your own daily cleanings. Paper towels, cleaning sprays, floor cleaners, bathroom cleaners, rags, dusters, vacuum cleaners…these are all great things to have on hand at all times. That way you’re always prepared when you’re ready to clean a particular room or target area. There are a number of safe, natural options you can choose if you want to avoid harsh chemicals and plenty of high quality products that are safe to use on a variety of surfaces. You can also have many items auto-shipped so you never run out of anything you need.
