If it seems like your home is the only one that’s messy and cluttered, rest assured, you’re not alone. Many of us struggle to maintain a spotless house. So, how do cleaning experts manage it? They stay organized with a daily to-do list that they diligently complete.
“People with clean homes have a routine and system for cleaning,” explains Becky Rapinchuk, the founder of Clean Mama. “Daily and weekly tasks are essential for managing daily messes and dirt.” Ready to achieve a cleaner house? Experts recommend incorporating these quick tasks into your daily routine to help control clutter and mess, and make a clean home a reality.
1. Put things away as you use them: Experts suggest putting things back in their place immediately after use. It’s quicker and easier to tidy up as you go along rather than dealing with a larger cleanup later on.
2. Make the bed: Making your bed in the morning ensures a neat and inviting space for when you return at the end of the day.
3. Wipe down counters after every meal: Taking a few minutes to clean counters after meals prevents spills from becoming difficult-to-remove stains.
4. Address clutter promptly: Deal with incoming clutter immediately by organizing mail, groceries, packages, and other items as they enter your home.
5. Do a little laundry: Tackle a load of laundry each day to prevent a buildup of dirty clothes.
6. Clear the kitchen sink: Finish washing dishes and clean the sink before bedtime to wake up to a clean kitchen.
By incorporating these tasks into your daily routine, you can maintain a cleaner and more organized home.
