Keeping your home nice and organized is a goal that many households would want on their list for 2024. However, when you throw life into the mix, alongside work and children, you’ve got a home that often looks like a tip.
You struggle through to the end of the day and then you’ve got the mammoth task of tidying everything back up again. All of that effort for it to then get messy again. However, it’s part and parcel of life. There are ways to keep your home organized and clean though, which means you can hopefully lessen the amount of time you spend cleaning it!
Make a checklist
First and foremost, make a checklist. This is vitally important when it comes to staying on top of the cleaning and general to-dos around the home.
If you haven’t got a list, start one now. It works best if you’ve got it on your phone and perhaps as a shared note or list so that other household members can access it.
With a checklist, you’re unlikely to forget anything and that makes your life and mental load a lot easier to manage.
Get everyone on the cleaning schedule
Why should you be the only one cleaning the home when others live in it? It’s a little old-fashioned now to expect just one person in the home to clean, most of the time it’s the mother in the home.
With that being said, it’s good to get everyone involved in the cleaning schedule, especially if they’re able to pick up a mop or sponge. This will help make life a lot easier and less of a workload for the person who is usually doing everything.
Do a little bit at a time
Doing a little bit of cleaning at a time is going to make a big difference to your home’s appearance. It’ll also save you from having to do a big deep clean - which saves you time that can be spent with your family instead.
By doing a little bit each time, you’re going to keep your home clean and it won’t feel as though you’re doing too much work all at once. Every little bit, even if it’s five or ten minutes at a time, will make the difference you need.
Keep your home clutter-free
In order to keep your home organized, try to avoid cluttering it with things that you just don’t need. That means the less stuff you have in your home, the better. Think minimalism when it comes to maintaining your home’s belongings.
Get the professionals in
When times get tough and you don’t have the time to clean, you might be in a position to hire help. Having a professional cleaner in to do all the cleaning will make a big change in how you deal with your home and how it looks. You won’t even need to lift a finger if they’re coming on a weekly basis.
These tips will keep your home clean and in good condition so that you can breath a little easier this year.
